Jefferson On Government By Injunc-
ton.

In letter to Mr.. G. Hammond
written from Monticello, August 18th
1921, jefferson said:
sit has long been my opinion, and ]
have never shrunk from its expression
that the germ of the dissolution of oul
Federal government is in the constitu
tion of our Federal judiciary, an ire
sponsible body, (for impeachment is
scarcely a scarecrow), working like
gravity by night and by day, gaining
a little to-day and little tomorrow
and advancing its noiseless step like 8
thief over the field of jurisdiction until
all shall be usurped." :"
The great mind of this man foresaw
in advance that the time might come
when the enemies of freedom in Amer.
ica would attempt to overthrow it, as
they have done at last, by declaring
that Federal judge at his pleasure
can abolish trial by jury, and keep an
American citizen in jail as long as he
pleases, without any other form oi
trial than the mere passing of sentence
from the bench-the judge of which
in every such case is not only the
Judge but the accuser.
But the same statesman who pointed
out in advance the great dangers which
have since overtaken US, wrote also,
as the fundamental rule of practical
government, Trust the people," We
can afford to wait, secure in the belief
that no matter how great the wrong,
it will have an adequate remedy

That her body was to be cremated
was not known by any one, except her
most intimate friends. While crema-
ton is not very popular, it is really
the most bygienic method of disposing
of the dead. However il will be some
time before the world can be brought
to think the same. It seems cruel to
consign the body of loved one to
fiery furnace, and receive in return a
few handfuls of ashes. We might be
willing for such a fate ourselves, but
not for our dear ones.
The Kings Daughters and Sons are
uniting to aid the Red Cross and Cen
trail Cuban Relief Committee in their
work for Cuba. Miss Clara Barton re-
ports great need of clothing, and an
appeal is sent out signed by Mary Lowe
Dickinson, general secretary, and 9TH
ers. If ever nation needed help, it
is the poor starving Cubans. That
nation known as a Christian nation
could display the barbarity that Spain
has done, seems incredible. But Span
iards have shown ferocity that leaves
the '.sunpeakable Turk" decidedly in
hopeless minority.
During the trying ordeal through
which he has been passing, President
Mckinley has been severely criticised
by some, and highly commended by
others. on the calm and deliberate
manner in which he has treated nego-
tiations between Spain and America.
Instead of criticising our Chief Execu-
tive we should be thankful that one is
at the helm, who in spite of the uni
versal cry of ''war," could brave criti-
cism, and let no opportunity for peace
pass unnoticed, allowing time for ade-
quate defenses to be made, and for all
Americans on Spanish soil to reach
places of safety from the cruel Spanish
foe.
The W. G. I. U. is for peace when
ever it can be brought about; but if
the issue between Spain and America
comes to cruel war, there is no organ
ization in America that will aid more
quickly when :he Calls is sued for help,
nurses etc. Their earnest prayer will
be that the Heavenly Father will aid
the "boys 10 blue' to overcome, and
cause to flee the cruel oppressor of
defenseless people, and that "Free
Cuba" will exist in reality.

The Two Navies.

Although Spain, by repairs, pur-
chases and the completion of vessels
under construction, has greatly in
creased her naval strength within the
last three months, she is still decidedly
behind us in effective force available
for the theatre of operations on this
side of the Atlantic.
In frst-class battleships we are far
ahead, with our Indiana, Massachu-
setts and Iowa, pitted against her soli-
tary Pelayo, while her repaired old
timers, Numancia and Vitoria, are for
transport and training uses. On the
other hand, with her fine and power
ful armored cruisers Carlos v, Oquen-
do. Vizcaya, Cisneros, Maria Teresa,
Princesa de Asturias, Catalina and
Cristobal Colon, she is decidedly ahead
in that type, which with US is repre-
sented only by the New York and
Brooklyn. Besides the difference in
OCESs their IZ-1IGh " dGCI IlDO DClIS
make them defenslvely superior to our
cruisers. and really put them in the
class of our Texas and Maine. also car
ryiug 12-inch side armor. Their IL
inch guns, too, are of a battleship cali
bre. We call the Texas and Maine
battleships of the second class. taking
together their size, armor and arma-
ment, but the Spanish ships, on ac-
count of their high speed, are prefera-
bly, classed as armored cruisers.
Perhaps the best way to consider the
question is to take all the armored
craft together; and then, with our big
battleshlps, superior in armor and ar
mament, turning the scale, and our
four double-turret monitors in Atlantic
waters, not to reckon the small moni-

account of their time, $500 apiece in
travelling expenses and provisions.
That is to say, the Klondyke golddig-
ging will this year cost $50, 900, 600
before ever a shovelful of sand Is
panned That :he Klondyke mines
will return anything like this sum
passes the widest hopes that can be
entertained, in the light of the past.
These figures will not, however. stop
the emigration to the mines. In spite
of mathematics, in spite of dangers
and hardships, in spite Of death itself,
the hunt will go on. Each prospector.
while acknowledging the heavy odds
against him, will persist in hoping
that he Will prove one of the lucky
ones. The same unreasoniug defiance
of mathematics that makes possible
the success of the lottery shark aud

bleak wastes of the Alaska gold fields
and will continue to send them, though
the chances of success are proved even
simmer than it now appears they will
be. In nothing in the world is the old
saw, Haste makes waste" truer than
in money-making, but people, partic-
ularly the American people, can not
be brought to believe it.-K. C. Times.

tors and the Katahdin, adapted to home
ports, we are the better off for line-of
battle strength in general engage
ment, for example, between Key West
and Havana. The Oregon would much
increase our superiority.
In protected cruisers we are far
ahead OF Spain. We see in West In.
dian waters the Alfonso XII. and Reina
Mercedes, 3,090-tonners; the Reina
Christina, $500 tons; the gunboats
Conde de Venadito, 1,1S9 tons; Isabel
and Isabel H.. $50 tons each; Mar
ques de la Ensenada, / 1,030 or perhaps
1,064; nearly score of small gun
boats OF 524 tons down to 34, about
half a dozen torpedo boats, including
the fast Filipinas, and perhaps two
dozen launches for patrol and similar
duty. We also know that she has
elsewhere the Alfonso XIII, 5000
tons, Lepanto, 1926, Aragon and Ma
varra, 3,342 each, and some smaller
cruisers, while her Philippines fleet,
overmatched by Commodore Dewey's,
is understood to embrace the Castillo,
3,342 tons; the Isla de Cuba, Isla de
Luzon, Don Juan de Austria, and Don
Antonia Ulloa, 1,130 each, and the
Velasco, 1852.
We need not go through the familiar
list of our own unarmored cruisers and
gunboats, headed by the Columbia and
Minneapolis, 1875 tons each, and the
Olympia, $50, to demonstrate in de-
tail a superiority which is obvious
merely from this glance at Spain's ar
ray. In her small fry, indeed, she
may show greater numbers, but our
recent additions of armed yachts and
tugs, besides some large merchant lin
ers, are fast giving us a numerous mos
quito fleet to add to our strong force
of cruisers.
Spain undoubtedly carries on her
list a larger force of torpedo craft than
ours, and some are fine fast boats of
the first class. But when we note not
only our purchases but the hurrying
forward of those still under coustruc-
tion, and, finally, the fact that many
of her smaller craft Will not be sent on
the ocean voyage, we need not worry
greatly even on the torpedo-boat score.
With the regular and the extempor-
lied craft we shall have a strong fiotil
la.
In short, since even in peace times
our navy ranked ahead of Spain's, it
would be strange if, with all the ad
vantages of position in conflict about
Cuba, we should not rank ahead of
her in war.-N. Y Sun.

The Washington Post, under the
present administration, may be classed
as the leading morning goldbug organ
of the United States, and the foremost
advocate of the infallibility of the par
ty in power. Its New York namesake
is an equally reliable evening organ.
The farmers make too much noise for
the sensitive nerves of the Post. It
says:
The farmers are as deeply interested
as other citizens in questions of national
politics. and it is quite as proper and

litical campaigns. But it is not profit
