SO that when courts hold that work
.ingmen cannot peaceably dissuade
other w~orkingmen from taking en-
'ployment. as vas held in q notable
~ in New Jersey, they simply show
that their minds and understandings
are lingering In an g which has
passed away. This dealing OF great
bodies OF men with other bodies Of
men Is a matter of public scrutiny,
and should be a matter of public reg
ulation.
Similarly, It was no business of the
law In the time Of Jefferson to come
into my house and see how / kept
house. But when my house, my So
called private property. became a
great mine. and men went along dark
corridors amidst every kind OF dam
ger In order to dig out of the bowels
of the earth things necessary for the
industries OF a whole nation, and
when II came about that no individ-
ual owned these mines. that they
were owned by great stock companies,
then all the old analogies absolutely
collapsed and 1t became the right OF
the government to go down into these
mines to see whether human beings
were properly treated in them or not:
to see whether accidents were proper
ly safeguarded against; to see whether
modern economical methods Of using
these inestimable riches Of the earth
were followed or were not followed.
II somebody puts a derrick trnprop-
eriy secured on top of a building or
overlapping a street, then the gov
eminent OF the city has the right to
see that that derrick is so secured
that you and I can walk under 1t and
not be afraid that the heavens are
going to fall on us. Likewise. In
these great beehiyes where in every
corridor swarm men OF flesh and
blood, II liz the privilege OF h gov
eminent. whether OF the state or of
tho United States, as the case may be,
to see that human life is protested.
that human lungs have something to
breathe.
These, again. are merely illustra-
tions OF conditions. We are In a new
world, struggling under old laws. AS
we go on inspecting our lives today.
surveying this new scene Of central
ICED and complex society, we shall
find many more things out OF joint.
One @f the most alarming phe-
nomena of the time-or rather 1t
would be alarming Il the nation had
not awakened to II and shown its de-
termination to control ft-one OF the
most significant signs OF the new So
cial era IS the degree to which ~
eminent has become associated with
business. I speak. for the moment. of
the control over the government exer-
cised by Big Business. Behind the
whole subject. of course. is the truth
that. In the new order, government
and business must be associated close
ly. But that association Is at present
OF a nature absolutely intoIerahle; the
precedence IS wrong. the association Is
upside down. Our government has
been for the past few years under the
control of heads OF great allied cor
porations with special interests. 1t

The originative part of America,
the part OF America that makes new
enterprises, the part n which the
ambitious and gifted workingman
makes his way up. the class that
saves. that plans. that organizes. that
presently spreads its enterprises until
they have q national scope and char
more and more squeezed out by the
processes which we have been taught
to call processes of prosperity. Its
members are sharing prosperity. no
doubt; but what alarms me Is that
they are not originating prosperity.
No country can afford to have its
prosperity originated by a small ON
trolling class. The treasury Of Amer
lea does not lie In the brains OF the
small body Of men now in control
Of the great enterprises that have
been concentrated under h direc-
ton Of a very mail number OF per-
ons The treasury OF America lies
u those ambitions, those energies,
that cannot be restricted to a special
favored class. 1t depends upon the
Inventions OF unknown men, upon
the ordinations of unknown men,
upon the ambitions Of unknown men.
Every country is renewed out of the
ranks OF the unknown, not out OF the
ranks of those already famous and
powerful and in control.
There has come over the land hat
uu-American set of conditions which
enables a small number of men who
control the government to get favors
from tho government; by those fovors

will presently dominate every indus

forget the ancient time hen INNER
lea lay In every hamlet. when Amer
tea was to be seen in every fair val
ley, when America displayed her great
forces on tho broad prairies, ran her
fine fires OF enterprise up over the
mountatn-sid and down into the
bowles of the earth. and great eager
men were everywhere captains OF in
dustry,. not employees: not looking
to a distant city TO find out what they
might do, but looking about among
their neighbors, finding credit accord

TO their connections. finding credit In

The old order changeth-changeth
under very eyes. not quietly and
equally. but swiftly and with the noise
and heat and tumult of reconstruc-

i suppose that all struggle for law

of it has been blind or merely in

IL with superior knowledge of affairs
and of human weakness, that every
age has been an age of transition. and
that no age Is more full OF change
than another, yet in very few ages. of
the world a the struggle for change
have been so widespread, so deliber-
ate. or upon so great a scale as in
this In which we are taking part
The transition We are witnessing In
no equabIe transition OF growth and
scious unfolding of one age into an
other, Its natural heir and successor.

day, from top to bottom: is making
fresh and critical analysis Of Its very
elements; Is questioning its Oldest
practices as freely as its newest, scru-
tinizing every arrangement and mo-
tive of its life: and 1t stands ready
to attempt nothing less than a radi-
cal reconstruction, which only frank
and honest counsels and The forces Of

from becoming a revolution. We are
In a temper to reconstruct economic

Blind Pig Congressman in
Trouble in Alabama

Admission, Ala, February IS.-Con-
siderable discussion is being heard in
Admission in regard to the amendment
offered by Congressman Fred L.
Blackmon of this city to the Webb
anti-shipping liquor bill, his amend
ment seeking to provide for shipment
of liquor for personal use, although
persons who had been convicted of
violating the Prohibition laws, per-
sons holding federal licenses or per-
sons convicted of public drunkenness
would be totally barred.
Friends of Mr. Blackmon, who, with
Congressman Dent, of Montgomery,
was the only member of the Alabama
delegation opposing the measure, state
that he would have voted for this bill
had his amendment been adopted.
1t is very likely that these recreant
Congressman would have voted for
the bill if the Biackmon amendment
had been adopted and all of the other
blind pig congressman would have
done the same for that amendment
would have killed the effectiveness of
the measure. That was what it was
offered for.

Jumps On Rusty
Sidewalk Nail

While working on a we'll dig
ging machine a Minnesota man
jumped upon a rusty sidewalk
spike. The nail drove part of
his black wooden sock far up into
his foot. He removed as much
of the sock as he could, put on
Aliens Ulcerine Salve, and kept
right on with his work. The
salve drew out parts of the sock
and all other poisons and in a
week his foot was healed up,
This salve is one of the oldest
remedies in America and since
1869 it has been known as the
only salve powerful enough to
cure chronic ulcers and old sores
of long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by
drawing out the posions and
healing the sores from the bot
tom up. It is so powerful that
it heals new cuts and sores in
one-third the time that common
salves and liniments take. And
it heals scalds and burns without
a scar. Sold by T. J. Halle &
Co., and other leading druggists.
