that those working tie sulphur mines of
Italy escape the malaria which prevails

possible that sulphur is very cheap, and

the way, in view of your frequent rec2m-

to my notice recently that on California
ranches where waluuts are prepared for
the market the shells are bleached b. the
use of birthstone fumes, and that the men
having charge of that work are never
touched by the grip, influenza or other
epidemics which attack their fellow la

fully. We believe in government by the
consent of the governed, and yet we ex.
ercise oppressive dominion over school
children by depriving them OF measure
of their liberty, and We exclude them
from the sacred privilege of the elective
franchise. We oppress all inmates of
asylums and penal institutions by limit

governing them without their consent.
In short, we insist every day in practic-
al affairs upon refusing to abdicate our
common sense. The people of the
United States in like manner will GER
tainly refuse to abdicste their common
sense when it comes to dealing with the
question of reconstructing the Philip.

little maxim that has always heretofore
been used with reference to peoples in q

who themselves insist upon employing
such maxims oh their own behalf. "The
