What Is the Meaning of the
Tremendous Growth of the
Military Power i'm These
United States?

THE most casual reader cannot fail to be
impressed by the fact that the military
feature of our government is gradually swal-
lowing the civil.
The riot call from the police department
hardly has chance to be heard, before the
Governor is calling out the soldiers.
Nearly every State in the Union has had a
taste of military despotism.
No such thing as martial law is known to
the Constitution of the United States, or of
the several States, but never a year passes
now that we don't have some Governor and
some military officers establishing what they
call Martial Law, in some part of this coun-
try.
If a heartless corporation makes it's slavery
uncomfortable, and causes a rebellion among
the victims of it, the military must be called
out.
We no longer hear of the sheriff and his
posse which, for more than thousand years
had been sufficient to uphold the Civil Law
among English people.
Upon the most frivilous pretext the time
honored reserve powers of the Civil Law have
been swept aside.
The sheriff is under a bond he is citizen
like other citizens, connected by blood or
marriage, or friendly ties with the people
among whom he is to preserve order.
ne WOULD uIdW Ills. posse from among Tie
people of the same community, people who
know each other, and who would have in
each other the common, humane, moderating
influences of fellow citizenship
Therefore, the sheriff and his posse have
always been considered the most trustworthy
supports of civil liberty, of law, and of order
But, as [ say, the sheriff and his posse are
things of the past; they exist in law, but not
in practice; they have been superseded by
something which has no existence in law, but
which has been made supreme in practice.

Why Did Our FOrefatherS Resort
TO Written Constitutions and
TO Bills of Rights?

- ments and laws existed among men
thousands of years before it was thought best
to reduce them to writing?
In ancient times the government and the
law, were matters of growth and of common
understanding; IN most cases the unwrltten
custom of the tribe, or of the federation of
tribes, was the only tribal law.
Thus, to this very day, the wandering
tribes of the East have no written codes, yet
the life of every tribesman moves within
fairly well-defined sphere of what is lawful,
and what is not.
These tribal customs and rules are handed
down by word of mouth, from father to son,
from generation to generation.
Among the Muscogees, Greeks, Algonquins,
Cherokees, Choctaws, Iroquois Hurons,
Sioux and Apaches there were tribal laws
administered by the chiefs and by the coun-
ellis.
This was so when our ancestors first settled
in Virginia, Massachusetts and the great
West.
1t is so among the remnants of the Semi
noles in Florida to this very day. They have
not the scratch of pen in the way of writ
ten Constitution and law, but they have their
rules and regulations nevertheless.
A member of the tribe who violates one of
their unwritten laws is punished for it, by
the tribe.
Sometimes such criminal will be SEN
fenced by the tribe to solitary confinement
on some small island in the Glades, and no
one will be allowed to approach him, except
some member of his family-his wife, if he
has one-who is allowed to visit him at
stated intervals, and carry him food.
Among our own ancestors, the Germanic
peoples, the tribal formation preceded the
grouping of tribes into larger declarations.
There was no written law, and no written
form of government, but it was we'll under
stood what constituted a violation by one
member of the tribe of the personal rights
of another, and it was we'll understood what
constituted an infraction by a tribesman of
the general law of the tribe
There were Judges, chosen yearly, to admin
lister these tribal customs and to impose pun
ishments upon those who broke them.
After the lapse of ages, the military chief
tains forcibly kept, from year to year, and
from generation to generation, the power
which had been given them for temporary
purposes.
Those military leaders were naturally the
strongest men of the tribe, the ablest in coun-
Gil and in war; consequently, it was the easier
for them to hold on to power, when once they
got it.
The simple plan was, for the leader to
select a certain number of his lieutenants and
divide the spoils of conquest with them, max
ing it to their mutual interest to all stand
together.
In this way feudalism arose; the strong
men who had grabbed the power and the
property, built huge stone fortresses, in
which they dwelt secure from attack, and
from which they ruled, with a rod of iron,
their immediate territory
In course of time, the civil wars among
these feudal chieftians Trimmed Them out

DUTCH WOMEN TO HAVE
CELEBRATION IN MAY.
Their Progress From 1918 to 1918 to De
Shown at Amsterdam.

When the statesmen and the cap
tains of industry in Holland were de-
vising ways OF celebrating this year
the one hundredLh anniversary of Hol-
lands casting off the French yoke and
regaining her independence 1t occurred
to some of the other sex that they
ought to have a show in both senses Of
the word.
So there was organized an exhibition
to be held at Amsterdam. 1t was la
beled "Woman-1S13-1913"
This exhibition, to be open from May
to October, will present a comparison
of the Dutch women of a century ago
with those Of the present day and por-
tray the progress made. There will
be an old time middle class house, with
its enormous kitchen and all the do
mestic accessories. Elsewhere will be
a presentation of the accomplishments
of the women of that day In art. mu-
sic, sports and literature, their spe-
cial work among the poor and the sick
and as guardians of almshouses, or
phanages and similar institutions.
To give an idea of the women Of the
working classes in the country as well
as in the towns the home industries
will be displayed, and it will be shown
how women were overworked as seam
stresses and as diamond workers and
how some trudged in a treadmill like

GAMECOCK THRASHES A MAN.
Rooster Thoroughly DisabIes lite Owner
In a Battle.

Benjamin Sherman, farmer liv-
ing near Glen Gardner, N. j., came
out second best in a battle with
game rooster recently.
The farmer early in the morning
gathered three dozen eggs in basket.
AS he came out Of the coop Redney,
gamecock with reputation as fight
er, flew at his face and inflicted deep
cash just under the right eye with a
spur Before he could recover Sher-
man was spurred again on the right
side of the face near the mouth.
He attempted to catch the bird, but
it sank a spur in his right wrist. In
making a swing with the basket Of
eggs he lost his balance and fell to the
ground. The bird then spurred him in
the right leg several times.
A farm hand who heard Sherman's
cries ran to the poultry yard and
knocked the bird over with a spade
Sherman took to his bed.
