REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE |
ONE HUNDRED and eighty years ago James Madison, in
his notes on the Constitutional Convention of 1787, reported
that there was considerable discussion and controversy over the
role of the states in the federal government of the United States.
One of the delegates to the convention, George Read of
Delaware, favored a strong, single national government, and he
felt that individual states should be abolished. At one point dur
ing the debates. Read remarked: “Too much attachment is be
trayed to the State governments. We must look beyond their
continuance. A national government must soon of necessity
swallow all of them up.”
Later, he argued that the states “would be a perpetual
source of discord. There can be no cure for this evil but in
doing away with the states altogether and uniting them into one
great society.”
Read's philosophy was rejected of course and ultimately
the Tenth Amendment, guaranteeing rights and powers to the
states, became a part of the federal Constitution.
* * *
UNFORTUNATELY, IN RECENT years we have seen a
trend in this country toward what Read wanted, and what most
of the other founding fathers strongly warned against.
We have witnessed an almost unrestrained, centralized fed
eral government with virtually limitless power over the lives
and property of the people. The Jeffersonian precept th^ that
government is best which governs least seems forsaken.
Almost endless authority over internal affairs of the indi
vidual states and private citizens emanates from Washington,
and the proper federal-state relationship no longer exists.
♦ ♦ ♦
IN PART the changes we see taking place in our nation
have resulted from an increasing tendency in America to look
to the federal government for answers to all problems, both
social and economic.
The people, enticed by largesse from the federal treasury
and deluded by a something-for-nothing philosophy, have turned
to Big Government.
One of ,the greatest challenges facing the people of America
today is to reverse this trend and return to the idea that the
less government power, the greater the liberty.

Diabetes
Screening
Clinic
Do you drink excessive
amounts of water and uri
nate frequently? Do you tire
easily? Are you constantly
hungry? Do cute and
scratches heal slowly? Do
you change glasses fre
quently? If so, then you may
be a diabetic.
Statistics show that six
teen out of every thousand
people In the United States
have diabetes and that eight
of these sixteen people are
undetected diabetics. These
statistics also show a higher
percentage for new diabetes
in those people who are over
forty years of age; who are
overweight; who are rela
tives of known diabetics;
and women who have had
children weighing nine
pounds or more at birth.
If you are not sure of
yourself, then come to the
Diabetes Screening Clinic
being held every first Thurs
day of each month at the
Jonesboro Health Center,
every second Thursday of
each month at the Forest
Park Health Center and
every fourth Thursday of
each month at the College
Park Health Center, or go to
your family physician for a
check-up.

When They Ring The Golden Bells
A Circus Music Master Writes a Hymn
Elgin is a few minutes drive from Chi- Old files of The Elgin Courier-News
cago and Kirkland is a few minutes west
of Elgin. It was in Elgin and Kirkland
that a forgotten music master and circus
performer spent the last days of his 85
years. His name was Daniel A. (Dion)
De Marbclle who in his better years could
do almost anything . . . and had done
almost everything.
As a youth Dion De Marbelle sailed
from his native France, where he was born
at Seville in 1818, to roam the Artic on a
whale ship. In 1847 he fought with the
American Navy in the Mexican War. As
actor, singer and musician he toured the
continent. When the North and South
clashed in ’6l he joined the Federals and
played in the Sixth Michigan Infantry
band. After the war he went with James
A. Bailey’s circus as a musician and w'hen
Bailey went with Barnum in 1881 to form
“The Greatest Show On Earth” De Mar
belle organized his own show. Losing his
tents and other equipment in a fire in Can
ada the aging showman joined “Buffalo
Bill” Cody to organize the famous Wild
West Shows.

There's a land beyond the river.
That we call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith’s decree
One by one we'll gain the portals.
There to dwell with the immortals,
When they ring the golden bells for you and mt-
We shall know no sin or sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow,
When our barque shall sail beyond the silver sea;
Wo shall only know the blessing
Os our Father's sweet caressing,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.

recount that this versatile entertainer was
an accomplished sleight-of-hand artist, a
one-man minstral show, an eloquent
speaker “on any subject,” a poet and com
poser of popular ballads. On Sundays he
sang in the Methodist choir. During the
week he called community dances.
In 1887 De Marbelle was nearing three
score and ten and he wanted to leave
something lasting. And he did. But, as
with his more than 25 other songs, he re
ceived not a dollar for “When They Ring
The Golden Bells.” In December, 1903,
Dion De Marbelle went on to “dwell with
the immortals” in the “land beyond the
river.” Old soldiers of the G. A. R. buried
him in Elgin and the government placed
a modest marker at his grave. There is
no other tribute ... no dates . . . just the
simple wording “Drum Major D. A. De-
Marbelle, 6 Mich. Inf.” And there in
Soldiers’ Reserve at the Bluff City Ceme
tery the music master whose artistry
thrilled thousands beneath the big top, and
who left behind an immortal hymn, awaits
the day when “the King commands the
spirit to be free . .
When our days shall know their number,
When in death we sweetly slumber,
When the King commands the spirit to be free;
Never more in anguish laden,
We shall reach that lovely Aiden,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.
Don't you hear the bells now ringing,
Don't you hear the angels singing?
'Tis the glory hrllelujah Jubilee.
In that far-off sweet forever.
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.
