The LETTER BOX Some people are in the habit of treating the law of a state as if it were something above the state, and having an authority superior to the will of the people. That is not true. The constitution of a state is only such, because the people of each individual state adopt it, and so far, it is only thus adopted. In regard to voting an amendment into our state constitution, that is the American way of expressing the will of the people, who comprise the real government of the state. What is more un-American than for certain... Parade is Extended The line of march for the parade has been extended this year will continue west on Center to Ohio street before turning to Broadway.
