UNDER the heading of "Bad POiits
ieaI Investments" the New York Sun
has the following:
Hereafter in this country the line
will be drawn very sharply between
the anarchistic enemies of property
and the safeguards of order, and the
conservative people who respect those
rights and demand their protection as
essential to the maintenance and prog
ress of civilization.
These sane and law-abiding people
make up the great mass of our society.
They are citizens who command the
most honor and WELD the most iuhu-
ence ia every community. They are
men and women who bring up their
children ia the fear of God and ineuls
cate in them the virtues of sObriety, in.
dustry, thrift, and fidelity to duty
They teach them that it is wrong and
digraceful to take what does not belong
to them or to interfere with the rights of
their neighbOrs. They tell them that
wastefulness in the use of their own or
the property of others committed to
their keeping is sinful.

poor people. The rich are few COM
paratively. Their children are in
strpcted that they will have to work
for their living, as their parents do
They are taught to despise begging
and to abOminate stealing. They are
taught to render faithful service for the
wages paid them. guarding the inter
ests of their employers as a duty they
owe to themselves. Obedience, integ
rity, and the cheerful performance o
their tasks in the best way they know
how are inculcated in them from tLei
earliest youth. They are taught to b.
saving, and thus to acquire respect TO
the rights of property. They ar
warned against malice to others.
These people make up the best aRi
the largest part of our society The,
support the churches and they are sell
sacrificing in giving a schooling {
their children. They are the quie
people who avoid mobs aRd do thei
own thinking without seeking Rssis
ance from bowling labor agitators an
s0cialistic denlagogues. They min
their own business and are not willin
that Debs and his kind should manag

ten have something laid by for rain

cannot keep It under an anarchist
rule opposed to all property and ii
right of everybody to hold and enjC

These people are going TO do Il

How She Escaped When Pursued by Seven
British WGrsAiPs.
The Constitution, or Old IronsiGes,
rs she is Familiarity known, is the most
famous of all the wooden ships that we
have preserved, says a writer in Har-
per's Young People. Time and again
did she vanquish the English ships in
the war of 1879, and proud were the
people of her captures. Probably the
most thrilling incident Of her career
was her escape from seven English
nen-of-war after an exciting chase Of
nearly three days and nights. The
chase began on July i, 1912. The Con-
stitution was out for long cruise,
and was weighed down with stores.
The sea was calm and no wind WIS
stirring. Capt. Hull put ont his men
in boats TO TO tow the ship They
pulled yaliartly. and as night came on
the 'kedge" anchor was run out half
mile ahead. The crew on the ship kept
pulling on this, and the Britishers
didn't discover for a long time the
secret. Finally the English saw Il, and
adopted the same tactics, and bv
doubling up their crews began TO pull
then famous ship Shannon near TO the
Constitution. 4 light breeze sprang
up and saved the American ship for the
time. There was a calm the next day,
and the aConiEing struggle went on.
The next night another light breeze
came ZIP and the :Ired sailors obtained
little sleep. The next day there came
4 sharp breeze after many hours OF
struggle. The Constitution trimmed
her sails II catch It, the boats dropped
back and the men were caught up IS
the ship gathered hesdway. The Guer-
rlere, CT the English. fleet, came abean
as the wind freshened and fred
broadside- but the shots fell short. and
