Mr.. Calhoun's views If government; and
how did the great thinker and States
man accomplish this result? By talk
ing. He was full of his theme. His
great work on Government" Is convinc-
ing proof that he had thought most pro-
foundry upon the great problems of civic
society; and he was most deeply I'M
pressed with the Importance of the con-
illusions which he had reasoned out from
the general principles of human nature.
That the object of government was TO
restrain the excess of individuality was
to his mind as clear as a geometrical
axiom, and as important as 1t was clear.
But are not Christian views of Gods
government infinitely more important
than any views which any statesman
could entertain and nculeate about forms
of human government? And IL SO, why
may not any thoughtful Christian, who
has fair use of his tongue, make HIM
self useful in almost any society by
using that tongue in teaching right views
of the government of God, and of our
duty as subjects of that government?
Philip, the evangelist, preached" to one
man riding in a carriage; and the man
was converted. Go and do thou like
wise.

SCIENCE" never wrote line for pub
LEGATION; and certainly no writing OF
his has been preserved. His disciples,
Plato and xenophon. have left us writ
ten memories and notes Of the lectures
of their great master; and while our
libraries contain many books about
Socrates they are destitute of anything
by Socrates. From the days of Plato
to the days of Grote the figure of
this marvellous teacher has stood out
prominent in the thoughts of the ed
ucated world, and yet he did all his
teaching orally.
Jesus of Nazareth has not left us a
line of his own writing, and when he
stopped down and wrote on the ground
with his finger we get from the record
not the slightest hint of the purport of
that writing. And so far as the record
goes, that was all the writing that Jesus
ever did He was a street preacher and
a field preacher, and all His teaching
was oral. And even when the great
Apostle of the Gentiles writes elaborate
theological treatises, 1t Is clear that these
treatses are of the nature Of sermons,
intended and some directed publicly to
the churches to whom they were sew
orally addressed.

pay Presidents and the expense OF au-
mirals, generals and what we may with
out offense call the inevitable official
pashas, like Mr.. Joseph G.. Cannon,
speaker and quondam dictator.
But we have not done yet. There Is
the retail merchant and his clerks, his
rental, his taxes, his legitimate profit to
be considered. Here we come into touch
with the undoubted fact that the ratio
of his expense, the cost of clerks and
other help, of rent and other taxation,
and the relative amount of business ne
can do make comparison unfair. And
yet, when all deduction has been made
we have the fact that 1t pays the En-
glish merchant to sell a worthy suit OF
good woollen garments for less than 81.
At the other, end of the line he offers
the best dress-suit In the house for 81
shillings, or less than SIT. Let who Will
quote the equivalents in Alabama.
America, we must conclude, is willing
to tax all the people in order to raise the
standard of comfort for those who know
the ropes. Hence the clerk must get
more, the tailor must get more, the mer-
chants profits must be higher. The rail-
road collects more for handling the
goods, the packers for packing them. and
the manufacturer and wool-grower. as
aforesaid Then also the cost Of gov
eminent is relatively greater. We pay
our legislators for their time and their
travel Everything is on a different
basis, down to admirals and up to typ
lists.
| And when we have said all this we
have made room for this new generaliza-
ton. That in America "the value of
property Is the highest price you can
possibly get for it. not a fair profit added
to the cost" We are bent not on living
and letting live, but on getting rich by
the shortest possible way. Whereas In
Europe the ancient class feeling permits
even the new king to have his bills care
| fully reviewed, lest he be charged unjust
prices, we who are not kings pay up
without a murmur.
| At the last analysis American working
men are the ones who find out that the
value of q dollar Is in what it will buy
of necessaries and comforts. II their
wages are, say rs cents an hour and
day gives them 81 to $3.50, does that mean
that they and their wives and their chill
dren can or cannot afford a home? Is
$50 a month capable of giving margin
of welfare after all the bills are paid?
Not II there are children. And yet from
the English workman's point of view $50
a month looks like the treasury of Croe-
sus. I speak, of course, of the average
workman.

English Birmingham Is at least equally
instructive. Study of those documents
and comparison with facts tn our own
fair city proves once more how fast and
feverish Is the dollhouse growth of the
American pasha.
take for example the excellent bus
mess of clothing average manlxind-mas-
culine. Here is a price list Issued by a
popular house, guaranteeing to fit their
customers and evidently doing a solid
middle-class business on a cash basis.
Their leading line of woollen goods,
serges and so forth, Is offered at 81 shil
lings and sixpence the suit or $3.50.
There Is a suit that no business man or
professional man need be ashamed to
wear for knock-about purposes, least of
all clerk or wage-earner. So dressed
he looks a gentleman. Can any one find
the equivalent of such a suit here? Yes,
he will find such goods at marked-down
sale prices for SIS or SIG, and the cheap
est approach to 1t a special line at $40
whose virtues must go unsung by me.
Let it be understood that this COM
parison reflects no discredt on any hui
man being, farmer, merchant or manu-
facturer. The genesis OF the difference
goes far deeper and illustrates the Diff
! ference of American and British ideals
and ideas. 1t is a study. not an indict-
| ment. For, look you: The first step to
a suit is a sheep and the clipping of
wool. Then comes in the protection" of
all wool grown In America from all for
| eign competition. Into the complications
of that protection 7 cannot here enter.
We must be content to observe that
there is an understanding between tho
growers of wool in Wyoming and else
where, the manufacturers of wool in
Massachusetts,. and elsewhere, and the
gentlemen at Washington who, under Mr..
Aldrichs generalship, have built that
wonderful defence of the nation known
as Schedule K.
Really there seems to the unprecedented
mind no reason in the world why the
Alabama wage-earner, who is trying to
make both ends meet on 81 or SO a day,
should pay 81 to so bonus, in addition to
profit, to the producers, manufacturers
and distributors every time he buys a
suit of Sunday clothes. Whatever por-
ton of that bonus reaches the sheep
grower goes to make him pasha. What
portion of the excess goes to the manu-
facturer in New England produces in
him the likeness of pasha
Can we imagine that some of the
bonus reaches the committee at Wash
ington, producing pashas even there?
Perish the thought! Certainly some of
lit reaches the government, helping to

But far be 1t from US to imply that

of what we may call the pasha-vik- Let
us keep In view the proposition that

passion for pashas, Is producing pashas
faster than preachers, doctors. lawyers,
or even prize-fghters. and Is holding out
very golden rewards to all and sundry
who will graduate into her pasharchate.
The way of that graduation is the way
of wealth. Whoever can rise above the
level of the common people, live In bet
ter house, wear better clothes. entertain
with better display, is on the way to the
garage, so to speak.
It is indeed well understood that many
expensive things are now necessary for
the comfort of life which but little

eagles angels and railroad presidents
