false to the essential guarantees of life,
liberty and property-if from want of
courage or principle they retire before
the advancing hosts Of communism and
anarchy we may expect our freedom to
be displaced by despotism and lawless-
ness.
There are some who never weary of
saying that the federal judiciary con-
tinually usurps powers that do not be-
long to it and seeks to impair the right
full authority of the states. The truth Is
that the national government has been
compelled from its organization to strug-
gle for the privilege of existing and of
exerting it's rightful powers. Every ex-
ercise of power by the United States has
been narrowly watched, criticised and
often, without reason, opposed under the
p%retense. that the states rights were be-
ing destroyed. But although it is liter
ally true that the nation has had to fight
for it's rights to exert its rightful author
ity. it must be said that opposition to the
exercise of power by he national govern
ment is not altogether unnatural. In a
large sense we all stand for local rule.
The germinal idea Of American liberty
is local self-government. We are home
rulers by instinct, a feeling that has it's
root in affection for our own families
above other families. Every man loves,
above adj other places, the one - which

LIBERTY.
BY Judge Harlan.

When H speak of liberty I mean such
libeIy as is enjoyed in this country.
This falkland is in a peculiar sense the
home OF freedom-the freedom that takes
account of man as man, that tolerates no
government that does not rest upon the
consent of the governed, and recognizes
the right of all persons within it's juris-
diction, of whatever race, to the equal
protection Of laws in every matter affect
ing life, liberty or property.
In the vindication of those principles
the American people will always need,
IS they have always had, the earnest.
energetic support of the legal profession.
Indeed, it is not too much to say that
those who give their lives to the study
practice and administration of the law
constitute the active corps Of the great
army of freedom. If they fall away from
the line of duty and as a body become

CRACKERS IN PARIS.

The Paris exposition will be the grand

firecracker. There is a generous appfo-

be set off on the day, and the American

It would be idle to attempt to explain
to what extent the firework industry has
developed. But when you see apicture

paper Collars in the COS.

In the late .60's,the enormous con-
sumption of paper collars was not re-
stricted to the United States. Ex.
porting them to Canada and Central
and South America added hundreds
of thousands to the annual revenues
of the paper collar manufacturers.
An American firm erected plant at
the Paris Exposition of 1857 and
manufactured collars before the eyes
of astonished visitors. Immediately,
and as q result of this exhibition,
orders were received in this country
for the necessary machinery, and
paper collar manufactures were estab.
lished in Germany, where a tremen-
dous business fourished for a time,
that country supplying nearly all
Europe with paper neckwear. The
first plant was established in Leipsic,
and is still operating, although all the
others have ceased to exist.
