En- efecto, la ley representa- en- la
humane I'M nanol ono daha

En- efecto, la ley representa- en- Ia
sociedad humana un papel que debt
a mi parecer los designios de la ns
turaleza, por no decir a los de la Pro
vldencia. Ciertamente, i. eAlstencla
social de los hombres esta en- los de-
signios de la naturaleza; la naturale
"a es la que ha querido, Ia que hs
preparado sus medlos, la que ha for
mado a los hombres para esta situs
cion y Ia que ha gravado esta idea
en- ellos. Por consiguiente, la autor;
dad de la ley Sc refiere al orden SUI
premo que preside al universe, y,
para ha blar religiosa y filosoficamen
te, Ia ley es de derecho d1rlno.
Sin duda que nj la religion nj Ia fl
losofia no hablan de tai nj de cual
forma de la lev. Las formas son acci-
dentes q. Ia naturaleza abandona a
Ia razon humana; pero Ia naturaleza
legitima Ia ley en- general, a Ia ley en-
su abstraction y en- su perfection.
Este hecho arrola una gran luz so
bre el misterio de la sociedad huma-
ma, para que podamos omitirle, y de-
jar de hacer de el el objeto de una
observation particular. Sc reduce
por otra parte a este raciocinio, el
hombre vive bajo Ia ley. no puede
encontrar su destino mas que ba]o
su amparo; luego Ia ley misma esta
en- su destino, y Ia naturaleza qulere
la ley, porque quiere Ia sociedad.
Este hecho esplica al mismo ITEM
po la razon de la sumision de los pue-
bios & las leyes, y la Influenza de es
tas sobre las costumbres.
Tambien 10 esplica .el poder que
la opinion de los siglos ha constante-
mente atribuido a las leyes. En- etec-
to, en- todos tiempos, Sc ha creldo
que el fin de las leyes era arreglar
las costumbres, guiarlas, correglrlas;;
V darles fuerza Y asistencia; Y, en-
todos tiempos, las buenas leyes han
sido miradas como ofreciendo a la
par uno de los mejo1es medios de ci-
y uno 3e los mas puros
apoyos de la moralidad general.
siempre han sido reputados por bar
baros los pueblos euya indocllldad
no ha reoonocido nj la prescription
de las leyes, nj su voz remuneradora
y justiciera. Siempre el respecto de
les leves ha lido la par con el de la
costumbres.
La historic atestigua en- todas sus
paginas. Y aun hace mas, justlflca
en- todas elias una profunda intluen-
cia de las leyes y de las instituclones
sobre las costumbres, hace yer que

HITTING THE NAIL
SQUARELY ON THE HEAD

Judge Alden of Boston, was one
of the very strongest men on the
course. He is scholar and orator.
His statements are simply un-
answerable. He is hitting the nail
squarely on the head every time
he speaks. The more people who
hear him, the better for religion
and society. An address such as
he delivers is worth a hundred
discourses on special reforms.
After all the real responsibility
comes home to every person.
Emmetsburg Qowa) Reporter.
Judge Alden will give his famous
lecture, THE Powder and the
Match" at the Methodist Church
Wednesday evening, Dec q, as
the second number of the annual
lecture course. Every lover of
good speaking should hear him.
Single admission rs, school tickets

Drug Store. Course tickets for
remaining four numbers $500.

THE FORWARD
MOVEMENT

Although overwhelming success
es may attend the peoples cause,
still the fighting must be pushed
forward and other battles must be
welcomed. For the restoration of
representative government in this
country, is not to be achieved by a
single battle, nor, being achieved, is
it to be retained save by unending
strife. In this day of undying cor
porations and the self. perpetuating
System, eternal warfare is the price
of liberty.
OF the ultimate outcome of this
warfare there can be no doubt.
The people may lose battle or
two, but they will win the war.
They will win because they are
arming in state after state with
newer zeal and with keener politi-
cal understanding. In the political
skirmishes and battles that the
country has watched in the past
several months extending over a
battle field, nation wide, is found
the proof that the people are awake
and understand.
The end of the Cannon-Aldrich
leadership in Congress has been
assured. One Reactionary Re-
publican Senator has been put out
Of the running. Six others have
been forced into retirement. In
the past session Of Congress the
Cannon machine of the House was
hobbled. Progressives in the Sen
ate forced the Aldrich machine to
accept a Postal Bank Bill, shorn of
its most vicious serving
schemes, and rewrote a Privilege
fostered railroad law in the interest
of the people. In several states
the Progressive movement has
nominated the candidates of the
dominant party. In Wisconsin, in
Kansas. in New Hampshire, in
California and Washington, where
the Progressive forces were
organized, the peoples cause was
overwhelmingly victorious. Even
the Reactionaries in charge of the
Republican Congressional cam.
paign dared not provoke the indig-
nation of the public by carrying
out, after the p imaries, the origin
al plan of "k"iting" the Progressive
nominees of the party!-La Fol-
lette's.

CANAL EXPOSITION IN 1915

San Francisco ought to have the
Panama Canal Exposition in 1915.
The celebration of the opening
of the great waterway belonging to
the Pacific Coast. 1t was across the
lsthmus that the greater number
of those whose names are associat-
ed with the development of the
great Western State reached the
land of gold in 40 and so.
1t was the unceasing demand of
California for relief from traffic
domination that kept the Panama
Canal project alive, when the
French effort had failed and the
world was weary of the task of
cutting the way between the
oceans.
The barrier of that isthmus has
been present in the mind of every
Californian for half century, and
every wheat ship that had to sail
the distance of half around the
globe to get from San Francisco to
an Atlantic port was part of the
great protest which finally COM
PEELED the digging of the canal.
No section of our vast nation
will be affected by the new trade
route half SO much as the Pacific
Coast. That coast has suffered
most from the lack of canal; it
should be advantaged most when
the canal is fact
San Francisco, having astonish-
ed the world by picking itself out
of the ruins of disaster and in four
years rebuilding a more wonderful
city than ever, has demonstrated
its ability to carry through the
greatest American exposition as it
should be carried through.
Out there they have the climate,
the natural splendors, the capacity
for accommodating enorm nous
crowds everything, in fact, that
would insure the success of the
Worlds Fair, both from the stand
point of the community in which
it was held and the people who
would visit it.
SAL Francisco, in its effort to get
the fair, has asked only govern
ment countenance for its enter.
prise; it will pay it's own bills, and
there is already fund of ST &c.,
GOO as an earnest of its Willingness
and ability to do it.
Congress should give the great
exposition to San Francisco and
the members of Congress from
Illinois should be among the first
to urge the claims of the great
West to it.-Chicago American.
