First Page) of citizenship? Unquestionably he Is neither a patriot nor a good citi-zer. unless he is obedient to the Constitution and all laws made in pursuance thereof. Yet when he has jiiven obedience to all the laws, essential as that li. he has performed only half his duties. America demands of her citizens more than passive patriotism.

To support and defenl America's Constitution the citizen must be active as well as passive in his loyalty. "He must be active in preventing the adoption of any amendment to our Constitution hat would destroy or impair the basic principles of that charter of human liberty. That is no small task. To perform it successfully the citizen must understand thoroughly and well not only what the basic principles of our Constitution are, but why they exist. He must know that the very-essence of the strength of that document and the source of the happiness consequent upon its adoption, lie in the delicate adjustment and apportionment of the powers of government between nations and states, and in the reservation, free from governmental interference, of certain righls to the people.

Upon the maintenance of that equilibrium depends he continued congruity of government with individual liberty and freedom. "As constituted, our government was strong enough to protect the rights of the individual, yet not strong enough to destroy those tihts. Iet the equilibrium established between the powers of government, state and nation, and the rights of the people be destroyed and there remains on the one hand either a government too weak to protect the people or, on the other hand, a government so strong that at its pleasure the people may be made wholly subservient fo its will. "What eitiien would desire to have as the chief executive officer of the state a person appointed by the central government at Washington and responsible not to the people of the state but solely to that government? Would it add to the liberty of the American people to have the cities of our nation policed by soldiers of a national standing army Instead of as now by persons responsible only to the inhabitants of such cities? Would it add to the happi ness of American citizens to have only such freedom af action in their business and local affairs as might from time to time be permitted -by a "bureau at Washington? Would the farmers of the nation follow the plow more cheerfully were they under the constant direction and surveillance of representatives of national bureaus only slightly, slowly ami remotely responsible to the people' wirl?

Ieged Veterans' Bureau hospital conspiracy was formed to allocate hospital contracts to favored contractors and divide. the profits, among Forbes, Mortimer, Thompson, Black. Charles F. Cramer, former counsel Tor the Veterans' Bureau, now dead, and others.

Negotiated Liquor Permits Mortimer told of becoming agents for drug companies in negotiating whisky withdrawal permits. In this connection, he said. Representative John W. Langiey, of Ken tucky, got the permits. He said that on some of the deals Sidney Bie-ber, of Washington, held out fees for getting the withdrawal permits.

George W. Bean, Republican Xa tional Committeeman from Florida, was a partner in some of his Washington enterprises, Mortimer said. In a. deal with Bieber, he said, he received a $5 promissory note from Charles Vincenti, of Baltimore, for getting a pardon in a. whisky withdrawal case, but "Colonel Forbes and Mrs.

Mortimer took the note front my personal papers." He got another note Vincenti, he said. Colonel Easby-Smith also went into Mortimer's recent history, his appointment last April as special agent of the Department of Justice at $11 a day and traveling expenses, of which he said he was notified by Mrs. Mabel Willbrandt, Assistant Attorney-General in charge of Prohibition Law He declined to identify a photostat copy of a lease for a Xew York apartment where he said a "Mrs. Schroeder" lived. Judge Carpenter stopped inquiry along the line of "Mrs.

Schroeder." Defense counsel then skipped to Mortimer's testimony before the Senate Investigating Committee, relating to the code Mortimer said had been adopted by the alleged conspirators" messages. Before the Senate Committee, the record showed, Mortimer had testified he understood Colonel Forbes had been given k. copy of the code, that he must have known about it. Implicates Philadelphia Colonel Easby-Smith then led the witness back to Internal Revenue negotiations and whiskey Mortimer said that he had obtained the services of Representatives K-nionds, of Philadelphia, to intercede for the Rising Sun Brewery Company in a tax penalty matter before the Internal Revenue Bureau and had received $250-0. He gave no part of this back, he said, but he did give some money back in connection with another deal in which he iwas associated wih Representative Edmonds.

In going over his" association with Forbes, 'Mortimer said that as soon as he met Forbes "he was around my apartment altogether too much to suit me." This was in February, 1922, ha said. There were several quarrels about Forbes' attentions ro Mrs. Mortimer, he said, "when found out along in September what had been going on since June 7 at Reading, rennsylvania." He said he had on a few occasions returned the social visits of Forbes, but these consisted mostly of parties given to or by Forbes, mentioning one in Xew York at which Fran-cine Larrimore and a number of other actresses were present.

SHIPPING BOARD PROBE IS RESUMED IN HOUSE WASHINGTON. Dec. The Special House CommHee Investigating the Shipping Board and its subsidiaries today resumed examination witnesses for the flrst time since last June.

James w. Boeing. advertising manager or the Kmergeney Fleet Corporation, occupied the stand throughout the session. He testified that editorial support of the ship subsidy plan by a newspaper had nothing whatever to dn with the placing of advertising contracts, and ex plained the method followed by the corporation in attempting to check the results of its advertising. The corporation, he said, for several months met the deficits incidental to starting publication of the oceanic editions of the Chicago Tribune, but now paid the Tribune Company a flat rate of $500 for each vessel on which the paper was issued.

Showing of motion pictures on vessels of the corporation, he asserted, was taken up in an effort to make passage as attractive as possible in view of reports that some people avoided the vessels because they were "dry." FIREMEN QUENCH BLAZE AND REPAIR TROLLEY The district fire companies responded to a. still alarm of fire from Cedar and Broome streets shortly after 5 o'clock last night and extinguished a blazing automobile, owned by the Xational Vulcanized Fibre Company, driven by John P. Eckles, S09 South Broome street. The blaze was caused by backfiring and was extinguished before serious damage was done. The loss is covered by insurance.

The efficiency of the men in the local bureau of fire was clearly demonstrated shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morning when a trolley car of the West Fourth street line caught fire from motor trouble. The passengers on the car were removed from the car without any excitement and Engine Company Xo. 8 summoned. When the firemen arrived they extinguished the blaze with hand extinguishers. Then two members of the fire company crawled beneath the car and taped the burning cable, allowing the trolley to proceed under its own power.

The Traction Company officials were loud in their praise of the efflciensy of the firemen. EDMONDS DENIES FRAUD IN LIQUOR WITHDRAWALS PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8. Statements nwtde by Eli as H. Mortimer at the Forbes trial in Chicago today that Representative George W.

Edmonds, of this city, had received money for representing a brewery in a Prohibition case were emphatically denied by Mr. Edmonds. On the contrary, Mr. Edmonds said that he had forced Mortimer to return $2300 received from a local brewery fof looking after a permit in Washington. The permit was legal.

E-imonds said, but after he learned that Mortimer had "done nothing" he insisted that the money be returned, and that Mortimer finally had consented. He added that he felt responsible because he had in- troduced Mortimer to art attorney representing the brewery. 5000 NEEDY TOTS Commander Drain in Outlining Program Also Stresses Work for Disabled Vets. X'EW YORK, Dec. 8.

Details ot the American Legion's campaign to find a home for every homeless orphan of a World War veteran, were outlined by Xational Commander James A. Drain at a dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria tonight. Commander Drain also stressed the purpose of the organization to continue its activities in behalf of disabled veterans; to work for peace through international disarmament and a world court, meanwhile advocating preparedness at home, and the passage by Congress of a universal draft bill. Speaking tonight of the Legion's plans for the orphans of veterans. Commander Drain said: "There are over 5000 children in America today sons" or daughters of men who were in the World War needing some degree of care or attention.

The slogan of the American Legion, with respect to ths children of veterans, is: 'A Home for Every Homeless Orphan of a Veteran." And that means what it says a home, not a place in a foundling asylum, not a place within a family, but adoption into an American family." The work. Commander Drain explained. Is being carried on through the 11.000 posts of the Legion. If the children cannot be lm. mediately adopted in the locality where found, they are sent to Amer ican Legion billets, like the one at Otter Lake.

Mich, until adopted. The nation-wide drive for an endowment fund, the earnings from which will be used for ths care of the disabled and the children, is just about to commence, said commander Drain. President Coolidge, he said, has accepted the chairmanship of the Honorary Executive Committee of the fund, ard Mrs. Coolidge, the chairman of tlia Women's Committee. It is the hope of the Legion to obtain the endowment w-ithin the next year.

On the suhject of national defense, Corhmander Drain savd: "Until an international concord is attained for the reduction of arnu-ments, and the adjudication of all controversies between nations upon the principles of justice, the United States must maintain a navy equal to any- of the world, an army rel i- tively small, but highly efficient and capable of quick expansion, adequate air service for the army and the navy, a Xational Guard of sufficient size and high efficiency as part of the "first line, and suitable reserve forces for air, land and sea Thus, and thus only, may the United States be reasonably sure that sbe shall not be forced into DELAWARE SONS WARNED AGAINST IMMIGRANT PERIL (Continued From First Page) immigrabion is not a domestic question, ibut that it "is a ma tter of international agreement," he said, "wi had to come to the mark. I say ta you. there -was no other way. Arc or-ica must take the position that vrhi shall and who shall not tonie to America an American Senator Fess said he could see in this restrictive legislation that causel for war will constantly arise, "but whether w-isely or not America will not take dictation from any country, on purely domestic questions, and the stand we have taken on immi' gration we will defend with our army and navy if necessary." Favors World Court The Ohio Senator also urged American participation in a world court and said he intended to work as hard as he could to induce America to join the court. In discussing America's relations with the Orient, he said that although causes of war will be con stantly arising, there is no danger of immediate war, as the nations of the world are war-tired; but that America must be prepared if the emergency of war should arise in the years to come.

Rev. Herbert S. BscJolph, for- merly of this city, pastor of Calvary M. E. Church, Philadelphia, urged strict obedience to law as the foundation stone of American institutions.

Governor Denney, Governor-e'ect Robinson and Senator Ball also were among the speakers. NEW HOTEL ADDED TO duPONT CHAIN XEW YORK, Dec. S. I. M.

GASSAWAY ASKS LAUREL TO HELP BOOM DELAWARE (Continued From First Page) faithless treatys and formulating their only workable solutions possible to again restore order out of hopeless chaos, interdependence of nations. "We witness; here in America so simple a thing as a rain in Kansas affecting the prosperity of the city of New York. Interdependence of sections.

"With these end hundreds of other everyday examples of co-related interests we still in our own State have a small class of men who cannot visualize the abislue de pendence of each section of the State one on the other. This be comes more apparent about every two years during a Legislative Session. "Despite the fact that misSnesje men the world over are daily' solving the perplexing difficulties confronting them through a co-ordinated and co-operative spirit, we here in Delaware too often take the attitude that it "may work elsewhere but it won't work here." "Let us examine into concrete examples of Laurel's and Wilmington's interdependence. "Investigation discloses that about S- per cent of the revenues of our State treasury comes from an area within five miles of our City Hall in Wilmington. Those funds are spent thrcugh various channels, schools, roads, police, to benefit the State.

Nevertheless, you have witnessed, time after time, bills preset-fed to our Legislature that were designed to secure additional reve-nu- froifr or place certain restrictions solely upon the interests of the aforementioned area. "You nsk, well how does that affect u. down here? Just this way my friends. No one section of our State can prosper without prosperity reflects in all sections of the State. No one section of otw State can experience adverse conditions without all sections of our State reflecting those conditions.

If is to become a great, vig- iHTOiKroos industrial cen ter unquestionably Laurel will share in our prosperity. If through Leg islative enactments harassment are to accompany our industrial and commercial operations then our es tabliehed industry will be discour aged in making additional invest ments in our State and outside cab Hal that might otherwise he tempted to invest in Delaware will be driven elsewhere. still you ask. now noes that afreet Laurel? Very nennueiy. It denies Laurel a better market for her products.

It denies to ail sections of the State revenues that industrial and commercial ex pansion would afford the State Describes Marine Terminal Now we in Wilmington profess that we are vitally interested in all sections of our Peninsula particularly this we are so much interested in the Peninsula that we dug into our pockets and produced three and one-half, millions to build a marine terminal. Do you suppose that the vision that created that magnificent modern adjunct to transportation had in mind the serving of Wilmington's interest alone? Disabuse your mind of it if you do. Our Wilmington Marine Terminal was conceived and constructed by Wilmington taxpayers to serve the interests of Delaware and the Peninsula. "We in Wilmington are concerning ourselves In a plan to adequately advertise our State: to attract desira ble tourists to our many points of historical interest, to attract settlers of our splendid farm lands and to attract worth while industries. All of these have a very definite effect on your prosperity here.

When our plans are concretely shaped we shall ask you for your counsel, your ad vice and your assistance."

Urges Firm Stand 'But. say some, evils arise from time to time in our land and a remedy must be supplied.

True, quite true. But an omnipotent government is not only a remedy for any evil. On the contrary it is the greatest of all evils as the thumbscrew, the wrack, the branding iron, the funeral pyre, arch supporters of the tyranny of the past, bear witness. In supporting and defending the Constitution your soleain duty will be to make those who do not comprehend the deep and vital importance to humanity of maintaining the Constitutional equilibrium established by our ancestors, understand that such is the happiness of our American governments that under them every social evil may find a remedy without destroying the pillars of our temple of liberty-f-the Constitution. Your duty, the most solemn, -will be to stand ever fearless and firm against any and all amend ments, however specious may ibe the pretexts by which they are supported, that would destroy with the virus of omnipotence the government xT our fathers.
