the power to feel pain and pleasure
If we are a universal self without
knowing it. the way to come.to. k bow
1t is by letting our thoughts and ac'
tions always include the wellbeing OF
all. This is the evolution of the uni.
versal, or the way our conception OF
the universal will continually ex-
pand.
Any political system that excludes
the will Of the people from the gov
eminent is despotism and thor
oughly selfish and productive of sla-
very.
But to the degree that the voice of
the people is made effective. to that
extent it takes on an altruistic char
acter, and life, liberty and love -four
ish.
Evolution in society goes on by
means of a conscious effort of the in
dividual to perfect himself from
within, increase his own purity, love,
wisdom and power. No sort of social
arrangement can take the place of
this duty. But it is Just in proportion
that he includes the thought for 9TH
ers in planning, that his spiritual ma
ture unfolds.
The lamp of true wisdom does not
shine for the mean, sordid man. Love
and goodness and Industrious seeking
for the divine in man lights the path
way of the evolving soul.
But the ethics of individual prog
ress are exactly the same forces ne
cessary to insure peace and plenty for
all in the social, political and indus
trial systems.
Rational beings will always seek to
rebuild the institutions under which
they live to conform to the highest
ideas of right and wrong.
They will do this because systems
are real things and have their effect
on other real things just the same as
one man influences another.
At any given stage of progress the
then existing system will be the prod
uct of past ages, when the general
perception of right and wrong was
not so acute, and so such a system
would not only permit but actually
aid in perpetuating inethical actions
by legally protecting the doer.
The state today uses it's force to as
sist land grabbers chase Industrious
workers off of the land, the common
heritage.
A legal sanction of things thought
to be right at one time is exceedingly
hard to remove when we come to see
that it is not really best for all This
difficulty of changing the laws to keep
pace with expanding ideas of Justice
and right is the reason for the exist
ence of the reformers. The law seems
to be this: Perfect the individual
from within and continually rebuild
customs, laws and system to harmon
ize with and give opportunity for the
individual and national expression of
that truer life within.

CHASING SHADOWS.

We are in receipt of copy of In
dustrial Freedom, the official organ
of the Brotherhood of Cooperative
Commonwealth, located at Edison,
Wash, socialist society that pro-
poses to revolutionize the world. We
have no patience with socialist or
populist EXAMINATIONS, as we believe
they are chasing shadow, but for
Mr.. ID. Burgess, who, we are inform
ed, is member of the Edison society,
and to whom we are indie bted for the
paper, we have the highest regard,
and wish him success in all but his So
ciallstic propensities. Mountain Air.
Brother Shinn. has no patience
with socialists or populists, because
they are chasing shadows, but he en-
courages republicans and democrats,
and they are simply rainbow chasing.
Socialists have had a long, varied
and sad experience in chasing rain
bows and shadows, too, over the mires,
boys and morasses of the broken
promises of both of the old parties,
, and this is why they are now enlisted
under the sunny banners of socialism
where is spread 1.-THE board at which
our hungry world is fed"
The millions of the disemployed of
earth have taken the advice of hon
est but mistaken people like Brother
Shinn, until they are lank, hungry
and cold, and now they fully rea ize
that while rainbow chasing is very
inspiring, it's rewards are not salts
flying.

There is no despair so deep as that
of homeless man or woman. To
roam the roads of the country or the

laughter and song within-these are
the hungers and rebellions that drive
men to crime and women to shame

The generals and colonies all say
that the army has been abundantly
and luxuriously furnished, and they
are honorable men, hence we must
conclude that our soldier boys died
because they had been led to believe
this a necessary incident of their
profession. 1t was not starvation
but their sense of duty that killed
them,

Grass and Glover With Grain.

1t is always, we believe, mistake to
omit either grass or clover seeding. or
both, when sowing small grain of any
kind. Ifa farmer calculates beforehand
upon seeding his land with grass and
clover, he will be apt to give the surface
soil better cultivation and leave it reason
ably smooth. This, though done for the
grass and clover crop; is much better for
the grain also. Even in poor season
some of the grass seed is likely to grow,
and If the summer be wet one there may
be good catch. This failure to seed
with grain is often defended, on the
ground that the land is soon to be plowed
anyway, and it is not worth while to sow
seed where the field is to be plowed again
the same season or the following spring
But something may happen to prevent
this The old meadow or pasture may be
so injured that it is necessary to pillow
them up and reseed. In such cases, if no
grass or clover seed was sown the present
spring, there is greater area of land to
be plowed than can be properly MANFRED,
and not enough land fit for pasture or
meadow A new seeding always cuts
more the first and second years than it
will if kept later. Hence, to reseed land
as often as grain crop is sown is the
best way to get the most out of it, and, we
may add, the best also to make the soil
increase in fertility.

Leaf Mould From the Woods,

One of the best foundations for a bed
in which to grow flower plants can be
easily secured in most country districts
by going to the woods and finding in
hollows, or on the sides OF old trunks of
trees, the mould that has accumulated by
the rotting of forest leaves that have fall
en- after blowing over them. Only that
which has been we'll rotted will be worth
taking home. Last years leaves have not
decomposed enough yet. That which is
found in deep masses, where the soil is
wet, should be avoided, as the fact the
land around it is wet shows that it is sour.
The very best of all is found in the deep
hollows OF stumps, Here it has had on
ly the rain and snowfall of winter to wet
it, and there is usually an outlet beneath
to carry off all surplus water. This Leaf
mould. though black, is not so rich as ii
looks 1t is besides too light 10 be used
as soil without some heavier soil mixed
with it If some commercial nitrogenous
compound is used in the flower bed made
thus it will produce wonderful growth
and bloom.
