Clean Nations Back Yard.
Milwaukee, Wis, July 19.-Justice
David j. Brewer of the supreme court
of the United States last night sound
ed warning against the demagogue.
He was speaking before an audience
of life insurance agents who have been
holding their annual convention in
Milwaukee this week.
There has been good deal of dis
turbance in the body polite the last
year." said Justice Brewer, 'and it
is likely to continue. The nation is en-
gagged in the business of cleaning
house. Uncle Sam is disturbing a
great many. There are a great many
that wish he would not be so particu-
lar. The truth Of it is. we have been
q long time fixing up our front yards
They make a magnificent showing. We
have forgotten that every house has a
back yard and have not been as par
ticular about it. We are going to clean
the back yards.
"As a result Of the work now going
on there will be truth and honesty in
every market of industry. In the won
derful shaking up a great many men
will be unjustly condemned. Do not
condemn man until he is found gull
ty, but when he is found guilty, who
ever he may be, let him take his pun
ishment 1t has been my experience
that while there are many noble and.
true men there are also multitudes of
demagogues that expect to ride on the
waves Of popular excitement. Do not
listen to the demagogue; give him lib
erty."
Justice Brewer said he felt that the
80,OO0,O00 people of this country had
most supreme obligation before it, and
that they will continue to strive until
that obligation is met, and that hui
manity the world over will look with
thankfulness and gratitude.
