would time that the thinker would see that
that the thing called crime had origian somewhere
Crime is the result Of mistaken Judgment
To get an Understanding Of and effect we seeI
them operate mankind in the social civic, political
order it is necessary first to understand that primarily the
same in this that all fond OF pleasure and adverse to
pain and each and all seek the point OF least resistance
to gain the desired end
We feel satisfied that the above observation will meet
the approval of all who possess moral sense and it fol-
lows therefore matter of common that the bat
tie is waeed to gain the straegetc Govern1
ments are established not but simply to
maintain the rights Of man. A Republic an established
form Of government for the transaction OF the equal rights
Of man collectively well Individually and ceases to
be Republic when it perform the object tor
which had its origin,
pure Democracy such as was had at Athens, and
became the wonder Of the Roman world and at the last
fell by its weight Democracy, where So
ciety governed itself without secondary means
Wise surprised foolish things, and there are
others that are surprised wise things 1t seems to US
that the socialist make their great mistake in supposng
that government be maintained without secondary
means The history of the human with sharp de-
monsation during the last fifty years fully presents the
truth that the greed Of man must have boundary line
tlIawn aud fixed bya rule called law. and this law 50
made as to recognize the ability Of to create tor the
activities Of trade in the of tor the
sumption and prosperity OF the Republic.
If it be true that Republic is government establish
representatives fully defined by written constitution, and
that their chosen representatives refuse to be governed BY
the constitutions Then the fact is self evident that the
people are living under arbitrary government and
not Republic This fact as stated leaves the reader
with the answer as to what kind OF government we are
having and have had for some years
Ii won't do to say that the constitution not to date
and that circumstances force departure tor the manifest
reason that the right Of reform resides in the people by
constitutional methods. Again this argument was recos-
nized the excuse to violate the supreme law would be
justified and the constitution become foot ball the
campus Of party idolatry and the sport Of predatory
wealth. Greed has no morals. no patriotism, honor,
no pity and calls itself corporation because it has no
SOUL
The Dartmouth college case sets forth the fact that
even in much learning there egotism that transports
its victim into realm foreign without compass: It Is
the Office Of justice protect innocence, and it does no
require collegiate education to decern right from wrong
and the proof Of the statement may be in the tac
that there is justice practced among the common
people than is found among the educated ruling class
Wise men may be surprised at foolish hings-beng SC
honest and others be surprised at wise thngsbeing
dishonest.
If the reader will pause long enough and seek the
cause for the arbitrary power and paadoxca ruling OF courts
and corruption of officials he will find the to De II
the unGtness in aristocracy be legislators Tor Re
public legislator or legislators holding themselves ac
countabeto nobody ought to be trusted by anybody
Our trouble is not due to our form Of government but
loyalty to it.
Partisan politics whereby the average man in hi
blind zeal places party success above principles consi
ties the open door through which crime sits in high places
and leaves innocence unprotected and makes Justice
oucas seeking recognition among the vagares revenge
This to some may be hard saying, but thinket
in his heart So is he for acts but the outward signs
the inner man. An old mossback Republican and Demo
crat they remind me Of an incident: The other day
half wiued fellow had trick dog he showing of i
crowd when the village doctor rOdeup and said: B
cant nv dog "Wel. said Bill you See doctor. ye 60
to have more sense than the dog to teach him
The political Sky is couded BY partisan insanity an
bigotry and the hope Of clearer sky and brighter day
in the hands Of our young when this Republic sha
raise above the partisan train masher and dwell amida
patriotic men.
Thatis an inspiring story which comes from St Pau
where Mayor Smith retired almost penniless alter 6lt
wears 81 public service including fifteen years mayo
