wealth began.
Origin a Government Theory.
1T had its origin in our very theory
of government Our theory of govern
ment has been (since the time when
Thomas Jefferson's idea prevailed
over that of Alexander Hamilton that
that form of government is best which
governs the least Only what the in

left TO the national government This
policy was no doubt correct at that
time With a strongly individualistic
people. full of resources. initiative and
enterprise; with a country Astounding
in opportunities of every kind for any
one energetic enough to make use of
them; with domain stretching from
ocean to ocean and increasing rapidly
in population-the best policy was I'M

north and south; they have subdued
the earth and dug out the gold, silver,

railroads and have grown rich-very

unconscious and when he was found

through his forehead He was imme-
diately taken to the hospital and ply
sicians were summoned.
Only Danger Is In Infection.
Mr.. Hudson reported today that the
chances for Mr.. Krebs' recovery are
good. The only danger at present is
that an infection may set in. and then
recovery would be doubtful.
