A feature will be tbe sing- ing of, patriotic songs by tbe audience, directed by a capable leader. Iu a recent address before the Cbi- cago Kiwanis club at tbe Hamilton club, Mr. Carter said: "The men whomn George Washington called to the first constitutional conven- tion were skilled in government, had studled It for years as a science, and knew exactly where they were going. They had Iearned the first lesson of political hlstory, that throughout the centuries rule had swung like a pen- duluin from kîng to mob, and then back again to king. "Out of every pure democracy had couie a dictator, out of every attempt of the many to govern by direct action grew hard rule by the few. So they built on the middle ground, wisely safe- guaîrding each department of govern- nient fromn the other, and with. that structure we went literally from no- where to the top. "But today the man in business or on the street is afraid, because no one knows what the government wiIi do nexi. This fear is the resuit of a. goveirnentaI prograni calcuiated to de- stroy aI)preclation of the established systeni. But there is a growing under- curr'elt of thought among the people about these profound changes. Some-i thing has gêne wrong, and Anierica wants to know what It ls." - Urges ILarge Meeting Every citizen of Wilmette. Mr. Clarke added, is urged to hear this address.
