But One Voice.

From the Harper Sentinel

Of the people" being listened to by exec

charge of their duties. There is but one

hearken, aad that is the law which sets
forth their duties. ''The voice of the
people is the statutes, and nothing
more; the other "yoice" which is heard
so much is only "hoIlering.'
