What Would You Think?

What would you think if, upon
complaint of the Russian govern
ment, American citizens were ar
rested and brought into the United
States courts and there tried on the
charge of sending socialistic litera.
ture to Russia? Impossible, of
course, but that is what the German
government did to a number of it's
subjects at konisberg, upon the de-
mand of Russia!
What would you think if the
brewers insisted upon congress
passing a law making saloon
license vested right and render
ing them irrevocable. except upon
payment of damages to the saloon
men, and President Roosevelt made
it party measure? Couldn't hap
pen to be sure, but that IS what
Premier Balfour is doing in Eng
land!
What would you think if a special
tax were levied to defray the cost of
religious instruction in the schools
"a tax enacted whether the religion
taught was of your belief or not.
Absurd! but that is a fact in Bri-
tain!
What would you think if the Uni
ted States government sent soldiers
to close religious institutions and
drove nuns from their historic roofs
at the point of a bayonet? Not con-
ceivable, but that has been the fact
and the issue of France!
All of which is reminder that
the United States government, sit
ting, as it does, far from local strife
and sectional passion, possesses the
extraordinary combination of enor-
nous power, but power impossi-
bic to employ except naturally and
in accordance with the march of
events that no one man, and no
coteries of men can divert.

Believes in Keeping on Right Side.

In connection with the filing of J.
P. Johnson for the nomination for
the Office of clerk Of the district
court, it is said that Mr.. Johnson's
various filings for this Office have
been for the purpose of leaving no
stone unturned to make certain his
retention in the place, and that he
is never certain, with the passing
of each brace of years, whether a
pair of years begins his term or ends
it. The Office is one which carries
a four year term, and when Mr..
Johnson succeeded the late George
F. Chester in the middle of a term.
