There are, always two classes OF
people In community that are dang
erous to the welfare Of the State. They
are the excessively rich and tie mis-
erably poor. Anarchy is not always
confined to the mob. The open and
palpable violation Of law by master

pest interests Of society as Is the vio-
lation OF the law by tramp, and more
so, for the reason that it Is easier to
deal with one In the lowly walks of life
than 1t is to deal with rich and pow
ertul member OF society. Contempt

whose heads have not been turned by
TOO much success or too much failure
and In whose hearts there is room for
humanity, lies the safety Of this great
republic. They have always been
ready and willing to sacrifice blood and
treasure to perpetuate the priceless
principles of liberty in the land and
they will not fail us again in time of
need.

OF the race the uplift has been slow
and the events which have happened

epochs of progress.
Three Great Documents.
There have been five great docu-
ments which have been given to the
world as the monuments of liberty by
the Anglo Saxon race and we point to
them with the most profound rever-
ence ana awe. :..>:..
they are Magma. Charta, the COM
pact signed on board the ,Maynower.
the Declaration Of independence, the
constitution and the Emancipation
Proclamation. =.
Six and half centuries rolled be-
tween. Magans :Charta and the: Eman-
clpation Proclamat ton. One hundred
ana hfty years lies between the time
that the Pilgrim fathers landed on

me now! i do not know. You ask me
when? cannot tell. But do know
that there is a God that rules in the

hand; and that an avenging nemesis
OF outraged humanity will scourse the
nation and scourge it yet again, until
the wrongs that have been suffered
are burnt and purged away"
