peace between the two great nations Of

They show more than that. In the

secure and preserve the old home of the
English Washingtons as national and

the American Revolution IN British

1t has been estimated that as many as
three millions of voters in the United
States neglected to vote in the preSiden-
iial election held last November. There
are those who raise hue and CRY for the
rule Of the people" They want a pure
democracy, direct legislation by the peo-
pie. The people should have the power
t. take the initiative in legislation in A
way different from that OF doing it
through credited and commissioned rep
iesentatives.
Such a system would call for more
elections. Instead OF once every two or
tour years they might come once a
month. Ii three millions OF voters neglect
to vote in a presidential election that
comes once III tour years what warrant is
there tor saying they would vote every
SIX months or ottener?
There are about as many now who say
We have too many elections as there are
who say they should be held oftener. It
Is a fact that race for Office between
two or more popular candidates will
prlng out more voters than an election
for the ratification or rejection of amend
mentS to the constitution of a state.
The people rule as truly under a repre-
sentative government as they would or
could under pure democracy. Men are
selected in all the walks OF life to do what
people cannot or will not do for them
selves. Men skilled in the art of build
ing are selected to build houses for the
people Men skilled in the science of
medicine are selected to treat men and
their families when sickness comes And
so on.-KnoXvlle Journal and Tribune

Rockefeiler's Outlawry.

William Rockefeller is one OF the rich
est men in the world. Every dollar Of his
vast estate is held under the protection of
laws enacted by his fellow citizens. Yet
it pleases him 10 defy their laws when
they interfere with his personal comfort
and to affront his Countrvmen when their
representatives attempt TO summon him
to Washington as a witness.
Mr. Rockefeller has several homes and
many servants and retainers. When he
barbados himself in one OF his castles to
escape process servers he proclaims his
contempt for the people and their govern
ment and invite upon himself and his
kind resentment which will not fail to
appear.
We have no shriekers against lawless-
ness more vocilerous than our Rockefel-
lers. They see Spoliation and anarchy in
every popular movement that is dlstaste-
full 10 them. Here is man. then, sur
rounded by his mnions and his millions,
openly practicing outlawry and bestowing
instructions upon an attentive populace
that surely will return to plague him. He
ought TO be taken at any cost.-New

Helping Men to the Farm.

II Congress grants the request of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
for 5000, 900 appropriations to maintain
bureaus of information at Chicago, New
Orleans and San Francisco, the depart
ment believes that it can accomplish
great results i'll the next few years in
getting men from the city to the farm.
1t will proceed with the work, whether
it gets the amount asked or only $500, 900
in all, as rather expected.
This plan does not contemplate a
back TO the farm" crusadeI'as a means
of diverting the trend of population
countryward. Its purpose is to find out
the men in the cities who are now tired
of that life, and are anxious to get on the
land, either as laborers or proprietors,
and its inquiries would be chiefly directed
toward men who came from the farm,
either in the United States or Europe.
1t would also aid in bringing back from
Canada large numbers of American
farmers who went there and became
tired of conditions. Omaha Bee.

Roosevelt Leadership Prevents
Reunion of G.. o. P. and Pro-
preSsiYeS.

Every effort thus far made to bring
about an amalgamation of the RepubIi-
can and Progressive parties has proved
futile, and the reason is demonstrated bv
Just two facts
First-The Republicans will never
agree to any reunion that does not eimi-
nate Theodore Roosevelt.
Second-The Progressives will never
agree 10 any reunion that does eliminate
Theodore Roosevelt.
That is, after all, the whole story. Mr.
Roosevelt is the sole issue between the
two wings of the old party. If he would
voluntarily retire from the situation. the
factions would come together.
II the Republicans would accept the
leadership of Mr.. Roosevelt, the Pro.
gresssives would return TO the old party
over night and be mighty glad to do it.
If the ProgressiveS would throw Mr..
Roosevelt overheard and return to the
fold, they would be joyfully received and
would be cheerfulIy allowed to dictate
their own terms of surrender.
Talk to any leader of any party and he
will tell You that this is just exactly how
the matter stands He will agree in a
minute that there is but one condition
which makes party reunion impossible.

Way of Righteousness

We heard two men the other day have
a very exciting theological argument.
They both got half mad. Il is very often
the case. The trouble is we do not think
our way into moral or religions truth.
We have to feel orr wav, and IN pursuing
that way it never makes one mad. Ii
makes him the very opposite. 1t makes
him generous, kindly, forgiving. The
Bible says: with the heart man belev-
eth unto righteousness. 1t is not with
logic and reason; it is with the affections
and the friendships. You take man
who loves his fellow man and helps him
that's faith; he believes in God He is
believing with his heart or course, that
love must be more than a social duty.
Righteousness doesn't so into society
much. II goes among men as an in1u-
ence and a help, and felt wherever it
goes. 1t is spirit moving about among
matter and waiting patiently and PRAYER
fully for matter to come back into spirit

Thirteen.

Though pretty much of the world was
in state of turmoil one hundred years
ago, the precedents generally are not of
a kind TO cause us any anxiety because
this is the year with the Is" in it. O:e
hundred years ago Europe was upside
down, with Napoleon on the run; South
America was beginning to flame with the
torch of Independence in the hands Of
Bolivar our War OF 1872 was on. A

was the year of the first of the series OF

as the. Peace of Utrecht The map Of
Europe was permanently" rearranged
by these solemn instruments. The

had It's troubles, but the "I3" years were
not conspicuously unhappy The Scots

lruculent descent of Lads aus, in 1913.
But these were sporadic episodes N

because drinks are not sold from the
Frederick county line to Gettysburg and
there would be no demand. aud no sui-
iiclent patronage to justify the building

Another objection was that the land
owners all along the route wanted to
sell their land to the government at the

prices. Now, this government is not in
the habit of giving extravagant prices
for land, and our people have no thought
OF any such thing. On the contrary, we

The Library Committee Rejects

The plan to erect in Potomac Park in

calendar for a vote.
While this was being done in the
House, Senator Jackson presented to the
Senate a petition from Muryland farmers,
asking Congress to select the highway
plan.
The Library Committee, in favoraby
reporting the Greek Temple" plan sets
forth that the Grand Army of the Repub-
lies dnal endorsement was in favor Of a
memorial as outlined by the Fine Arts
Commission The first Endorsement of
the proposed highway. the report says,
was hastily given.
The committee IS Of the opinion that a
roadway is not an adequate memorial,
says the report. and cites as an illuStra-
ton the Lincoln Park Highway in Chi
cago as being seldom connected by any
one with Lincoln.
The argument that Lincoln was plain
man and that it hardly COMFORTS with this
idea to build road chiefly used by auto
mobiles is also used.
The report also sets forth that the cost
OF the proposed highway would be 500

One Cent Letter Postage.

The advocates of one cent letter postage
should remember that there are other
things in the postal service that the gen
eral public wants more than this, and
earlier. A reduction IN letter postage
will benefit most of all those who can
well contribute to the government sup
port in this way The large saving will
come to banks, corporations, business
houses, promoters and others, to whom
the item of postage is of consequence.
The ordinary citizen, whose letter writing
is confined TO relatives and friends, will
hardly notice at the end of the year This
reduction in the prce OF stamps. If there
is surplus in the Postoflice Department
ii can be used to greater advantage in
improving the facilities of the department,
extending its service and giving more pay
to some of its underpaid employees. Penny
letter postage may be realization of the
near future, but public convenience would
be better served by using the revenue We
have in increasing collections and deliv-
e les and expanding the transportation OF
the mails.
