At All.
But the People Who Do Must Pay to Keep

thcr. the Dominion Land Commissioner
insisted that the lands allotted to these
people should be recorded under the
names of the owners, but the DOuk-
hobors have advanced ideas on this
subject also. They do not believe IN
ownership of land and insist on their
right to farm where they please with.

Canadian officials have declined to look
Mt the matter In this light, the Douk.
hobOrs desire to move on. 1t must be
feared that they will have to move far
to get out Of the reach of this kind Of
tyranny. In earlier days all sorts Of

Daniel Hcnnessy Is dead. Few peo-

who Daniel Hennessy was. but In New
York his career was beacon light to
the sons Of the poor who hope to I'm.
prove their condition. In 1910 he ar.
rived In New York, a lad of II. He
was of the stuff men are made of. He
did not look around for something
easy, but was soon ut work mixing
mortar. He was helping In his small

he was not content to stop there. Just
as he climbed the ladder with the hod
hc climbed the ladder of success, never
crying about the heavy load. but going
ON. step by step. until he was finally
able to hire men to carry the mortar
and lay the bricks, while he superin-
tended the work. He was no longer a
hOdcarrier, but he carried as big a
load and continued to climb. People
had confidence In. him. ana for years
he was considered the best Judge Of a
real estate investment In New York.
And when he died he left behind S.

you don't have to start that way to
emulate the example of Daniel Hen

some sort of ladder. Don't he con-
tent to stay Mt the bottom ana mix
mortar for some other fellow.

Sparta, when calling itself republic.
was one of the most OdiOus tyrants of
antiquity. II denied parental rights In
the child, and claimed that the state
alone owned its minors ana was enti-
tied to an exclusive voice In their edu-
cation. Should the "assOciations" bill
become law In France, that professed
democracy will out-Spartnn Sparta In
domestic despOtism. The bill excludes
from the ranks of teachers all persons
enrolling themselves In religious COM
munites. AS no religion Is allowed to
be taught In schools under state super
vision, millions of families would thus
be deprived of opportunity to have
their children religiously Instructed IL
they so preferred Such proposal in
the United States would be deemed an
emanatlon from an unsOund intellect.

King Edward has established a high
ceremonial court dress, adding: "This
Is not a republic" If 1t were, Edward
would hardly be the ripple on the sur
face that he now is.
