THE CHICK ASH A STAR
. THE CONSTITUTION
i .
The Kiawania dub ef the nation have piked that
thia week be celebrated aa Constitution Week. The
United States Constitution though penned a hundred
nd .fifty years ago is still the model for all free gov?
erements The men who wrote that instrument must
have partaken of a little of the divine aa well did they
do their work. When you ' consider that a few back
woods lawyers as the British termed them at that time
penned an instrument that has stood the test of time
for over a century and has been the model for all free
governments since their genius is then properly under-
' stood. The framers of the Constitution wrote into that
instrument the fine balance that must be observed by
the three branches of our government the legislative
the Judicial and the executive. Any attempt to destroy
that balance by any group of. men has always been re
. pulsed by the Voters of America. On that fine balance
rests the foundation of our government -and when that
balance is disturbed then chaos is ahead. If the exec-
utive would extend his power at the mercy of the legis-
lative a monarchy would ensue; if the judicial would
overstep the executive then we would have an oligarcy.
. If the legislative branch would run our government un-
. checked then we would have mob rule. It is in the fine
.balance in these three department that the Security of
.. America rests. May. we ever preserve the constitution
inviolate.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD
Prospects for prosperity throughout the nation never
were brighter; not a cloud can be seen on the business
horizon according to Editor A Publisher which recently
completed - survey of conditions as reported by news-
paper executives
I f&ftf Some of the reasons for predicting increased
"tall business:
Good crops which the farmers will in all probability
. sell at profitable prices. '
Farmers in most sections free of 'the debt that has
oppressed them since 1920 leaving the 1925 income
available for purchase of home necessities and luxuries.
wnk clearings at the highest totals ever recorded. ..
Tremendeu activity in building of homes and com-
mercial and industrial structures throughout the coun-
try with frequent records in value of building permits.
Revival. of mining in several sections where inactivity
las been the rule since the war.
' Little unemployment anywhere except in steel cen-
ters' where better conditions are expected later in the
JMT.
Cwenf confident 'attitude of retail merchants evi-
denced by their purchases for fall sale and their adver-
tising commitments.
' Unusually early beginning of fall national advertising
in newspapers and the outlook that newspaper adver-
tising will reach new high marks in many regions.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Probably more has been said on law enforcement than
a any other phase of our social life in America. That
is true because Sit law enforcement rests the safety and
security of thia government state and nation.
The need is not more laws but a fair firm and rigid
enforcement of the present laws. We have plenty of
laws but too little enforcement. The time is coming
when the people of this country will demand more of
the executive branch of the government than they do of
the legislative branch. Good laws should be enforced
foe tjie good "f the country and the best? way in the
srorM to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it

Show us a place in which the merchants advertise
100 per cent and well show you a good town. A news-
paper Is the best index in the world as to the sort of
people that make np the community in which it ia pub-
lished. If you see a newspaper well filled with adver

town where the business mpn and women are awake and
getting the business. The sign never fails.

attorney ia now governor not only of Oklahoma but of
Texas also. The governorship only extends to the Kin

to be governor of all Oklahoma. And the democratic
party ia going to have to nominate a man of the cali-
ber of Judge Bailey if they expect to get .anywhere in
Oklahoma next time. 1 . ' 
As I am going to school myself it
struck me that I would Just like to
sit down and have a talk 'with all the
boys who are starting back to school.
I know -some dont like to go while
others do an I just want to fay
this to the boy who doesnt want to
go to school you are wrong.  I
thought the same way when I was a
boy but now I can see where I was
wrong and am proving it by going
back to school again when I am pass-
ed 50. Theres lots of fun going to
school if you will just look at it in
the right way. I will quote a little
article I read the other day entitled
Back to School the Hymn of Hate:
Im back at school and I admit ita
really not' so bad. In fact theres
quifa: a lot of things that make me
sorter glad. Ita good to smell the
chalk again the blackboards and the
ink its fun to scuff your feet when
you go out to get a drink. - Its great
to see the kids again old Bill and
Hank and Wes and Gee ita dandy
when the old clock gets around to
recess! Its fine to see the girl you
like and sorter know her smile ia
waiting for you when you grin at her
across the isle. In act there's quite
a bunch of things I hadnt thought of
never I find I like except my books
I hate them worse than ever!
Well our County Fair is next
week. Everybody ought to go. Its
your Fair and it will do you gooS
to take a day off and load all the
youngsters and your better half in the
old flivver and go and see the many
things there that will be of education-
al interest to you. Yon will aee things
there that will surprise you to know
that it is all Grady County products
and especially to know that it was
raised this year. You. will enjoy every
minute of it and meet 'many old
friends whom you havent seen for
yean. It will make you forget your
troubles for the tin.1 being anyway
and it will bring pleasure to Mama
and the kids you know' and of course
you are willing to do anything to give
them a little pleasure. Youve work-
ed hard and you deserve n day off
and so have they. Go take em.
Member back when yon were n boy
hew yon enjoyed going to the big
Circus and thp County Fair with Ma
and Pa fend how yon got up way be-
fore daylight and thought they never
would get ready to start? Yonr kids
wQI jump np and down just like you
did. And now listen when you get
thaw (I know youre going) dont
just turn the kids loose and say now
have a good time. Kids wont learn
much at n Fair if left to themselves.
First thing they'll do is locate all the
hamburger and pop ''' stands and
nickle a . throw' shows and while
theyre interested in getting to the
bottom of a sack of peanuts theyll
walk right in front of a car and then
your day of pleasure is spoiled. Keep
them with you show them the stock
teach them lessons as you go along
study the dairy aad agriculture side
of the Fair take them to some of the
best shows etc. and buy them red
lemonade and be s boy again your-
self and drink and eat and be merry
with them. They never will forget it
and in after years it will come back .
to them what a good time they had j
that day with Dad at the Fair. Make
them rather be with Dad than anyone
else. . You will lose n little time per-
haps and it will cost you a little money
but you wont regret it and will nev-
er miss it. What is money for any-
how? It is to buy.. thing .to eat
things to wear send the kids to school
and to buy pleasure. Pleasure is as
necessary as any thing to make a
happy home. ' Going to the Fair is
one wsy of buying pleasure and giv-
ing to charity is another way of buy-
ing pleasure; youre buying pleasure
for the other fellow and that is the
sweetest .of all pleasures i to make
someone else happy when grief has
hurt us as It must to cry aloud God
ia unjust! We strike at faith that
solid wall which shelters and sustains
us all' not knowing when our hearts
are sore resentment only . hurts ns
more. k In bitterness no comfort lies
no tears of sorrow hatred dries who
turns upon his God in grief finds endr
less woe in disbelief. Who cries that
faith In God is vain condemns himself
to greater pain.

. Where are the comrades of long ago;
The boys and girls that I used to know
Back there in the old home town?
What have they gleaned from the passln
Abundant laughter or more of tears?.
A cheery smile or a frown?
Back in those fanciful childhood days
We dreamed our dreams and we went our ways'
To make all those dreams come true.
Who have continued to journeys end
That rugged pathway whose upward trend
Finds fortune? I wish I knew!
What have they learned of the better things
Of. the joy that communion with nature brings.
Of the comfort that children give?
What do they know of the peace of mind
That comes to them vfho are staunch and kind? :
I wonder just how they live.
Swiftly the years have been fleeting by;
Broad are the miles that between us lie
And far have1 we grown apart;
Yet there is something devout and fine
