brazen forehead here, there, and
everywhere in bold defiance OF public

the columns OF the press, and state
and national scandals have become
an every day occurrence.
The land is filing with an element
unaccustomed to liberty under law.
al element with strange ideas, and
an inherent destruction and contempt
for constituted authorities. Great
social and economical changes are
taking place. The home itself, the
purity and sanctity of which have
been the proud boast OF our civili-
zation, has not escaped the dread con-
tamination.
The most casual observer of every
day events is blind if he fails to- see
in the various currents of thought,
in the solutions suggested for indus
trial and social evils and abuses, in
the changing complexion of public
opinion in its attitude to the functions
of government, a growing tendency
to socialism, as a result of one school
of thought and paternal;sm as the
end sought by the other.
Materialism is rampant. The ma
ton is living too fast; the law is Of
ten left behind. The pace is the swift
est, fercest, the human family has
ever been set to go. Her CONNER
cial and industrial achievement have
been the first of all tongues and peo'
pies. To pile up wealth has become
national mania; to get money, an
individual disease. The finer in
stincts and higher aspirations are for
gotten, ignored, brushd aside, in the
mad rush of commercialism. To get
there, to fill the Golfers, to startle the
world with material accomplishments
seems to be the purpose of the na-
ton and the individual. The sacri'
fee in national and individual con-
science is not a consideration.
In the very rapidity of Our growth
lies the nations chief element of dan
ger. Out of it has sprung the ma
toms most formidable foe. In at
tanning the material, the spiritual wei
fare of the nation has been neglected
Hydra-headed greed and selhshness

tional idealism, assassinating national
sensihlities, sowing the seed of dan
gerous discomfort, and lowering the
standard of patriotism and loyalty
Courts, legislatures, and executive:
stand stunned into inaction at the
growth of the spirit. And out of this
apparent dominancy of the radicalism
of wealth, comes the other radicalisn'
which permeates and colors the en-
tire body polite. The socialist is the
legitimate child of the plutocrat; the
mob-tyrant is the unquestioned OFF,
spring of the greed-tyrant. The one
could not exist and would not, but
for the other. They are twin evils,
and neither augurs good for the ma

OF radicalism sweeps over the coun-
trv. The courts respond to the the
ory in questionable decisions, party
platforms suffer its duress and states
manship sinks into despicable den1a-
gogy before it. Impatient, 1estlve, al
most fanatical, it would cure an evil
with a greater evil. 1t would check
the greed of paternalism with the
deadly peril OF socialism: it would
purify the law making power by de-
stroying it, and criticize the courts

threatens a revolution in our national
character, destruction of individual
initiative, the lettering of the hands
of progress, and death to liberty it.
self Conservatism is coming to be
regarded as fad of fogyisrn, and in
dividualism, an impractical theory
which has no place in modern life
When we have reached this point Of
belief, when the government cuts
loose from the safe anchorings OF
progressive conservatism an launches
upon the sea Of radicalism, when she
forgets and disregards the splendid
idealism of her past, the hour Of her
destiny is struck.
With the coming of that hour, when
frenzied selAshness and greed attack
| the ramparts of Our Anglo-Saxon
civilization, and this experiment in
free government trembles in the bal
ance; l think I see the South again
taking her place in the counsel Of the
nation. I think I see her lost leader
ship regained.
In. an hour of such peril, when pre-
JUDGE and sectional hate are lost in
common effort to save legalized lib
erty, that section Of the nation which
affords in greatest abundance the
best element Of national strength and
character must take the leadership
in the struggle.
| The north cannot furnish these
elements. Her great cities are vol
canoes seething with inhdelity and
the rankest radicaiism. She is
urban and filled with deep
discomfort. Here are crowd
ed together the dangerous elements
Of the country, each drawing strength
from contact with the other, and the
whole viewing with impatient discon-
tent the institutions Of the country.
Hero is the home of the strike and the
lockout, ard here is the home. of
the greed tyrant and his oppression.
Though the west is agricultural, and
to some extent may be depended up
on, yet her population is largely
tainted with class who know not
the history Of the country, and love
not it's traditions. 1t is in the south
alone that we find the pure American
that must be the sheet-anchor Of the
nations safety. Here is found that
ingrained progressive conservatism
which comes of a close attachment to
/ the soil. Here is found the ark of
the covenant OF local self govern
ment. Here is found the ardent love
for the rue constitution, the deep
reverence for the true traditions of
the country, and loyal faith in, and
adherence to the true principles of

wisdom and conservatism OF south
ern leadership, its loyalty to the con-
stitution. its devotion to old time prlr-
ciples. Each day gives birth to new
tendencies not in keeping with re-
publican ideas, and the nation is en-
tering upon an era which must test
to the utmost her strength, and de-
termine for always her existence as
at present constituted. She must
soon face foe more menaclng to
her national entity than approaching
armies and navies. For more than
a hundred years, her flag has hoated
in t7umph: but in none OF the trials OF
the past has she dealt with an enemy
so strong, so dangerous, and at the
same time, SO subtle as the one which
now threatens an assault at the very
vital reasons for her eXlstence-the
most complete freedom of the lndlvld-
ual in thought and action consistent
with the enforcement with such regu-
lations in the form Of law as look to
the best protection OF life, liberty and
property. 1t is to be battle IN
which the forces of the constitution
and law shall find themselves arrayed
in hostile attitude against the forces
of absolute disintegration, combined
with the forces Of the idea of abso-
lutte centralizati 1t is to be a
struggle between well regulated
democracy, mindful of the law and
conscious Of no public motives save
the good, and a mobocracy, whose
ardent love for unlicensed liberty
verges close upon the brink of con-
tempt for individual rights, and often
acts in open disregard of law. 1t is
to be contest between a progressive
conservatism, and an aggressive radl-
calism-a conservatism filled with
deep reverence for the. traditions OF
the mighty past, and an unshaken
faith in the correctness and edequacy
of those principles, which have
brought prosperity with honor to the
nation; and a radicalism which would
tear down the pillars OF the govern
ment. substituting for the broad lib
erial ideas of Jefferson, the narrow,
selfish fanaticism of socialism and pa
ternalism. Unorg; nized individual
ism must OF necessity defend its
rights to exist by insisting that it
shall be protected against the obsti-
nate disregard shown for it by organ
lied labor and capital in the ever in
creasing frequency of their unfortu-
nate, and, at times, unreasonable war
fare. 1t is to be contest in which
the law must stand against lawless-
ness, honesty against corruption,
civic virtue against civic vice.
That such a contest is upon us and
in growing in strength and danger can
hardly be doubted. Countless ten
dencies point to it's coming and fore
warn us.
Property rights are becoming more
and more insecure, life is held cheap

be broken, as the breaking of them
seems to serve an interest better than
their observance. We are drifting

for some western state.
The eause5 of Mr.. Kelley's leaving
Salem was a scandal in which he
acknowledged before he left that he

person in it being Margaret Evans,
one Of the inmates of the Industrial
School for Girls, at that place.
The Eyans girl Is about 20 years

Eight months ago the girl began
domestic service at the home of Rev.
