The greatest political thought
in the world is.that embodied in
the Declaration of Independence,
namely, that all men are created
equal. Thisis the basis of popu-
lar government, and popular gov
eminent is spreading. Itdoes not
mean that.men are, or will be, equal
ia physical strength, in intellectual
ability, in moral character or in
wealth lit simply means that God
never gave to one human being a
natural.right.that, be denied to any
other human being, and thatin the
contemplation of government all
must stand equal before the law.
Dat of this basic principle all other
political principles grow and by it
all methods of government andall
policies must be measured.

ing face downward in a pool of blood

been drinking with a crowd and two
of his companions Frank and Albert
Decline, had taken him home. and up

heavy thud from within the house 1t
was {; sound as tho the old man had
fallen from his bed. The son. however,
did not go into the house to see if his
father was hurt, but went to his sis
ter's house to spend the night
1t is hard to find a motive for the
murder if it was Il murder. Robbery
is out of the question, for his pockets
had not been rifled for his money,
and his watch and other valuables had
not been disturbed. The Decline boys,
who took him home, had been drinking
too: it is said
Michael Cummings was 81 years old.
He is survived by his wife, two sons,
and four daughters. Most of his chill
