mats have scared our President and our
Grapejulce Secretary of State, we had better

Wilson and Bryan seem to be in a state of
blue funk over the ill-temper of Japan The
temper of Bismarck was not more of a source
OF anxiety to French statesmen, after the
smash-up IN 1870, than is the temper of
Japan to our milk-sop President and his
Grape juice Secretary

these two academecians have been thrown by
the little yellow men of Japan, [ could

myself, but | also believe that there are many
things you have to fight for if you want to
get them, and keep them.
One Of these many things that are worth
lighting for, is the right to make our own
laws, without having to consult Japan
Before our hysterical world Emission lin
goes gained control of our Government, and
ran us off into the policy of holding distant
colonies, nobody cared button whether
Japan liked our laws, or not.
But after Bryan and others had used everv
possible influence to prevail on Democratic
Senators to ratify the Republican policy in
the Philippines, all has been different
We heightened our frontier enormously,
and weakened it, to that ertent A ten-year
old boy ought to have been able to see this,

Whenever a fight starts, between us and
the Japs, the Filipinos will help Japan
Why?
Because we accepted them, as allies against
Spain, and then betrayed them. AS soon as
we whipped Spain, we turned our guns on
the Filipinos.
Again, why?
Because our Jingoes and our Roman Cath
Ollie bosses wanted us to do it.

Does it not seem strange to you that Mr..
Haynes did not make this point in his cele-
brated debate with Mr.. Webster?
All Legislative power herein granted
granted by whom!
BY the people of the States, each State
acting, as the record shows in its separate,
sovereign capacity.
You will find the same idea in the estab-
llshment Of the other departments, executive
and judicial.
In Article Z it is expressly provided that
the conventions Of nine States Shall be suf1i-
Gent to establish the new seeding govern
ment, the new Constitution being made the
supreme law of thes nine seeding States,
leaving the others where they were under the
second Articles Of Confederation
There was immense difficulty in securing
the consent of nine States to secede
Much diplomacy had to be used; many lies
told; many bargains made; and many
prophecies against centralism and plutocracy
pooh poohed as fanciful, unwarranted,
entirely without justification.
But when Virginia and New York were
eventually won over, the third union was
assured.
So great were the fears of the people how
ever, that their time-honored, blood bought
liberties might be endangered by the new
government, that the immediate adoption of
certain amendments to the Constitution was
Imperatively demanded.
Those Amendments are ordinarily referred
to as the Federal Bill Of Rights
In this article [ content myslf with copy
ing for your benefit the first one, and will
comment on its separate clauses, in articles
which will follow this
That first Article of our highest law reads
Congress shall make no law-respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; OF abridging the
freedom Of speech or of the press, or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble and
to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances"
That is our highest law; it forbids our
highest law-malzng body to do certain
things.
Has Congress been violating that highest
law?
Have Governors been violating that high
est law?
Have military officers been making regu-
lations which Congress is forbidden to make?
If so, my fellow citizens, it behooves you
to arouse yourselves to that vigilance whose
eternal watchfulness backed by never failing
courage, is the price of all civil and religious
liberty.
