OBEDIENCE TO LAW should be the frs
principles taught us in childhood; and

OBEDIENCE TO LAW is an absolute ne
cessity in all civilized countries. both fO
individuals. and for the general welfare
Anarchy reigns where there is no law
and where law is absent there is no safe
ty; and no safety under laws mean:
no happiness. These statements seem
so much like truisms that it would be
unnecessary to state them, if it were
not for the fact that all do not believe
and act upon them.

He WHO MOST perfectly obeys the
law is the freest man.

LIBERTY Is NOT IN license. or DISC
bedience, but the fullest liberty is in
the most perfect obedience.

some ONE SAYS. Il do not like that
law. so will not obey it," Suppose we
should all say that; there would not be a
law on the statute books, human or di-
vine. but what would be broken with i'm
punity every day. Neither would there
be safety in society if this sentiment were
common. No one would be safe for
night without a body guard. and the
guard itself would be .lawless and un-
safe.
But WHAT SHALL be done with bad
laws, enforce them also? Yes, every
time; any law unenforced, begets in
measure, disregard for law in general.
So, that if a law is bad one. enforce it
strictly to the letter and spirit. aud the
sooner it will be repealed if it deserves
to be. Its strict enforcement, however.
may prove the wisdom of the legislators
to the lovers of riot and disobedience.

LOVE FOR ALL LAW is a safe position
for every citizen.
WHEN STRONG opposition arises
against any good work in which you
are engaged, study quietly and well the
tactics of your enemy. Take counsel of
his criticisms. Be instructed by his I'M
suggestions. Then direct your
energies carefully, discreetly, wisely;
say little and do much, and success is
yours.
THERE ARE FOUR great dangers which
our Republic:
l. The gross ignorance of large num-
bers of voters in large cities and various
sections Of the country.
2. Municipal misrule in many of our
large cities and i'm some of the small |
ones.
3. ROMAN CATHOLIC interference with |
our Public Schools, by which they aim to
iivert our school funds to the payment of
heir sectarian school expenses. Also
he religiO-rolitical character of the
church. Never content with the absO-
ute rule in spiritual things which they
lain, but also, they want to rule in po-
itical affairs.
4. The tyranny of the headed
Rum power, with its cOncOmitants of
gambling, RIGHTEOUSNESS, political cor +
upton, and moral debauchery. These
re four dangers which we shall have to
meet and conquer as American citizens
