Hn Bam hm < f OPPORTUNITY — Today Whenever'I hear young people com plain that there are- no opportuniti*^ for them I begin to wonder just what they meap. Often I discover that they think of “opportunity” as a chance to jump right out ofiSchool into* a well- paid, easy job, Iwith short hours, Ibng week-ends and generous Vacations. It is true that that sort of ^portu- nity no longer exists. What is more, it never did existl There Is always a place, though, for the intelligent, industrious and ambi tious boy or girl who really wants to work, is not afraid of long hours andt«^ to the federal government and Nov.

Erskiae low wages to start with, <ted has good health and good habits. In these times it often takes .more time to find such an opportunity than it did a few years ago, but the seeker who gives up after one or two discour agements demonstrates that he is not the sort of a person employers are lokoing for. “MARGINAL”,— Questioned We have been hearing a lot in late years about “marginal lands” and the folly of farming them. I wonder some times if that is not a false point of view. Around my country home in the Berkshires there are plenty of farms which any ecoi^amist would class as “marginal.” They do not and cannot produce* cash crops big enough ^ bring in much more than the texM. Yet they are occupied for the ^gteater part, by contented, even hw*Py farm families. They get a iMng, and a good one, from the lano. Farming, to these folk, is not aiCindustrial or com mercial enterprise, but a mode of liv ing, independence and security. I know of no farmer who looks at his problems that way, even on these decidedly “marginal” New England farms, who is in real distress. at MINES Swimmingl.Hole (Last Sunday I-drove over to York State, past the remnants of a'distinct ly “margiriaPt enterprise. That was the old Williams iron mine^. Back be fore the Revolution the colonists were digging iron ore out of the^mountains of western Massachusetts. The mines were operated and the ore smelted at nearby ;Richmond_furnace, for more than 150 years. Then the cheapest iron ore in the world was discovered Minnesota. Constitution' had to do was to draw the sharp line .between the powers' granted by the states to the fed eral goverament and those which the states retained'for thj^selves. The conflict between the new spirit of Inatiohalism and the old spirit of independence of ihp states was acute. ‘*The;task/’ wrote James Madison in his notes 1 on the Constitutional con vention, ‘Was to draw a line of de- marMtion which would give the gen eral government every power requi site for general purposes, and'leave to the states every power which might be more beneficialljr adminis tered by them.” On that principle of entrusting all matters of common in reserving 'the very large field of pure ly local interest to the states, the Con stitution was finally drafted./^ v It is a very short and simple part of the document. Article IV. It provides only, in substance, that the citizens of any state shall be recognized as citi zens by all the other states, and that the public acts of each 8ti(te shall be given full faith and credit in ^very other state. There was no delegatiomi^f power from the central goveraiiient to the states. The.process wa<rthe other way about, the states^delegating limited powers to the central government. In return, the^ntral government guar anteed U)hivery state a republican form //^f government, protection against invasion and, at the request of tfie state authorities, against domes tic violence. and to handle a rifle. Tbat^ we felt, was the duty of a patriot. . . Today I am often aghast at tW ex- pressionp of contempt for national honor and the di^ty of citizens to fight for it,-which I Itear from young men. I read of preachers and teachers coun seling nonresistanoe and refusal to bear arms. Such expressions give me a pain in the neck. I have no partcular respect for the national philosophies of Germany, Italy and Japan, but I believe their re spective dictators have the right idea for the preservation of their countries, when they bring up every boy to be a soldier. The federat^^vernmeat, tlms, baa 'no rigW '^or power to send federal troops dnCo ainf state, evea in ease of violent iioting or iasurreetion, unless invited ^ do so by the legislature or the gover^r of the state* *We are so familiar*with the process of exteaditkin of fugitives from justice that it is difficult today to realize how easy (it was, befcwe the fednal Constitution was judoptedf for a crimi nal to escape the,consequences ot his crime, by simply crossing tha line be tween one state and another. - / One of the most important provis ions of the Constiuttioa is that it re quires each state, in case of a person charged with any crime who has fled from justice, to deliver the accused on demand of the executive authority of thcr state from which be fled. Ukewise, ther prineijde that trials of criminals not only shall be by jury but shall be held in the state where the crime has been committed, is so generally understood that the impor tance of that provision of the Consti tution is not immediately obvious to the present-day mind. But there was a time when states a^fsumed ilm nght to try and condemn men» for’'crimes committed imother states, orNeven be yond the seas. * ~ The federal congress had^ au^thiority under the Constitution, from the be ginning, to admit new states, but not to create them out of the territory of other states. In the one instance in which a' new state was set up out of part of an old state, the -nation waa engaged in a evil war. Virginia had seceded from the union, but when its people in the region between the Shen andoah and the Ohio waked to have the^ew state of r West Virginia recog nized, the federal congress granted that request Some of the states were not satis fied with the protection of their rights under the original Constitution and refused to ratify the new natknal set up unless it were amended to meet their objections and calm their fears of federal domination. .

CHANGE — Will Come Any plan of social-economic . plan ning which would fix everything as it is would be silly. I got to thinking over the changes in one New England county. A mile from my farm is the old Freedlyville mathle quarry, which pro duced most^of the fine building stone for the Elastern cities when 1 was a boy. ir~8hut down forty -years ago, when bigger veins of better marble were found in Vermont. Two or three miles away^ the first wood-pulp paper was made the year I was born, for a century almost all the writing paper used in America was made in our valley. We no longer make wood- pulp, and half the writing-paper mills are shut down. Up to five years ago wt were ship ping a quarter of a m|llioq dollars worth of lime every year. Now we don’t ship a carload a month.-Better limestone, easier to 'quarry, in other places, is the answer. One of the reasons why I have little faith in the permanency of any plan of building model towns around par ticular industries is that I have seen too many communities fall into decay vrhen the march of progress moves in another direction.

BOYD, kgent MEN .— Some Marginal I wonder if a good deal of tba world*s troubl(^Js not due so much to “marginal” agriculture and “mar ginal” industry, as to what might be called “marginal men.” I meet a lot of them. 'In a crowd they pass for average, intelligent hu man beings. Individually, there is something lacking. They are too con- I tent merely to “get by.” They are too I eager to accfpt njoney or- help that jthey have not eaitmd. They are not Iquite skilful enough to be worth top J pay in any Fine, but believe themselves I to be superior to most. I A large part of Qie agitation for I a moye equal distribution of wealth comes, I believe, from these "marginal men” who do not quite fit into the general scheme of things.
