"If the idea is to continue without
a serious setback, wo people who be

gether, for there ore powerful forces
opposed to It. So far as wo know, the
millions of Asia have opposed the idea
throughout all their history, although a
small number of Asiatics are now loud
in its support. Islam necessarily is
opposed to it. The Bolshovlkl ore
naturally violently opposed to it. So,
too, Is every one who has what he re

wishes to force upon tho people whether
they wish it or not.
"Theocracy oud autocracy, forceful
application of the big idea, inevitably
led to inequality before tho law and
so to tyranny, revolution and chaos
or to decadence, conquest and chaos.
That way lies no hope Let the Bol
shevikl and their supporters in all lands
prate as they will ot reactionaries and
Imperialists. They, themselves, arc the
reactionaries. Their admitted doctrino
is to establish a privileged class which
they call the proletarrat, but they mean
by that term a solect body of their
own supporters. Their whole creed is
to force on society a great idea which

Is nothing but pure theocracy

popularity. Even rts enemies try to
conceal their actions behind its phrases.

Tho proposed changes, covering n

submitted by various committees. They
tended In part toward uniformity for

Discussion of methods for maintain

President's Opening Address
Preservation of the constitution of the
United States and staunch adherence
to Its doctrines were demanded by
Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia,
president of the association.
The constitution and the form of
government which it represents, he
declared, wero the culmination of the
desire for freedom and liberty in
thought and action.
"Our system, though often spoken
of as democratic, is not and never has
been a pure democracy," President
Carson said. "It is representative, re
sponsible representative government."
Outlining the deliberations from
which the constitution was evolved and
the principles followed out In present
ing the draft to the several states for
ratification, tho speaker declared the
conclusion reached was "both sane and
sober."
Tho authors of the constitution,
President Carson sold, "did not enact
political or social economy or mistake
nervous twltchlngs for reform."
