When we aIt Ret so HOOo tnnt thctc
 will not have to be any laws and any
 legislation and anybody to interpret
 the laws that tho legislatures make and my officer to enforce the laws the other officers construe. And when all ot the socialists are dead. or satisfied
 this is going to bc one grand old world
 to live in. And its going to be ono of the most stupid places in the whole great universe.
 Rut that time Is a long. long way of. At present we have laws. more laws than we need or can possible use and we have some hundreds of mere OF less learned gentlemen draw ing high salaries three hundred and sixty five days in the year trying to evolve more laws. This may be good
 thing for the lawyers. and surely these
 gtnIemcn have as much right to live
 as have the butchers and the 'scribes.
 Also this making of many laws is tho
 greatest boon in the world to that
 great class of genial theorists the so-
 cialists. Just think where the socialist is going to get of when everything is nil right. That is one of the saddest thoughts In connection with the com ing of the millenium> There are so-
 ing to be 30 many people who will be
 unhappy when they cannot dig np
 something to kick about.
 Fortunately for them this miilinium
 Is n long way off and there are still some thousands of laws that must be made and unmade before we reach the days when everybody will Do good without law and officers of the law. Therefore the people who believe in the r..ghty kick of the sovereign peo' pie. as represented by Q small element of discontcnted ones. will have plenty O; time to kick themselves into an ear- iy grave while the cheerful optimists make the best of conditions as they are and as they have become by many years of rational and progressive thought on the part of the greatest minds of this and of other countries.
 Alter ali. the people who rise to the position of lawmakers. the majority or them at least. arc men of education or of brain that Is not warped by the narrow limits of fanaticism.
 Many of tho lawmakers are where they aro for purely selfish reasons of profit for themselves and others and there are about ninety per cent too many lawmakers and law cnforcers. But on the wholc these people arc above the average in intelligence and they are for tho most part patriotic. Tho laws that arc finally pessed and ar proved by the people who have the making and approval of them are much better laws than if they were made by the man who kicks against any law and any condition merely for the pleasure iis derives from being against something.
 There are undoubtedly times when Q people must. for self protection pro- test against the laws and those who enforce the laws. but the protest is useless if 1t comes in blatant denoun. ciation of things as they exist. The remedy provided for the people who five under our for moi government is simple nd effective. If the laws arc bad and should be changed. or # those who interpret and enforce the laws are obnoxious. there is very simple remedy for tho people.
 Just now this remedy may seem to be out of the hands of those in cer- tain localities cf the country. And yet if enough people. no matter where, object to the laws and 60 to work with action. and with rational methods they can change the laws. They wilI nlever change anything for Ihc better by shouting from the house. tors that they arc kickstsi and that hey mean to kick over either the law ,r any other established institution of .hs land.
