OF slave weighted nation, it has al

tlon must also have it's place in order
that the fruits of discussion NAV be
gathered. We have witnessed during
tne last several years remarkable
uprising against certain forms of
wealth and privilege. We have said
some wise things and some unWise
th1ngs but on the whole it has been a
tremendous moral revolution. The
sole question now is are we prepared

People TOiling and Thinking,
Out yonder in the open field of in
dustry the countless millions are toll
ing and thinking. Do not misread them
or misunderstood them. They are
thoroughly informed and they are
thoroughly in earnest. They are not
playing the game of politics for the
passing honors which come and fade
as they go, they are interested in
those substantial and permanent prin-
clples OF right and justice which will
carry blessings to their children and
to their children's children. They be-

be adjusted and adapted to every on
ward and upward step of the human
family. They are neither willing to
tear 1T down and abandon it nor are
they afraid to amend and adapt it to
the economic and political conditions
OF the twentieth century But they
are not at ease nevertheless. They
feel that sinister influences are clog
g1ng the machinery of government
now which the fathers did not provide
for. They are certain that adaptation
is needed. They know the evil and
they feel that the hour of discussion
should soon give way for the period of
work and construction. But they want
remedies, not narcotics and pain kill

will get rid of the disease.
