Heart to Heart
Talks
THE LAW IS LIBERTY.
BY JAMES a. EDcERTON

That sounds like q paradox. But
some seeming paradoxes are the most
profound truths. The only man who
is truly free is he who so wholly lives
within the law that be does not feel it
and is scarcely conscious Of its ex-
istence
This is true of the moral law. OF the
natural law and of the human law.
True liberty is the freedom from
lawless desires.
Transgression of the moral and nat
ural law means destruction for our
the human law means interference
with society and the rights of others.
This also reacts on ourselves. Thus
by seeking liberty outside the law
we bring ourselves into bondage.
The only true freedom is within the
law. The law marks the boundaries
of liberty.
We talk of breaking the law, but
such a thing is impossible. We only
break ourselves.
The law is exactly as it was before.
DuL we dIe uot
If we have broken a moral law we
are troubled in our consciences, II we
have broken q natural law we are
troubled In our bodies. and IL we have
| broken a human law we are troubled
in our social relations.

SWING OF THE PENDULUM.

For a century the American people
made his way in the world-particu-
larly If he had made money-that
was taken as prima facie evidence
that he was a person to be looked up
his portion, no matter under how
many handicaps he may have labored,
he was by common consent regarded
as a man unworthy of serious consid-
GRAFTON. Having carried this sort of
thing to an extreme, 1t was inevitable
that sooner or later a reaction would
come, perhaps to carry us to an equal
ly ridiculous extreme in the other di-
rection says the Cincinnati Times
Star.
This reaction Is now with US. To-
day we are bent on the great task OF
making god of failure. If man
has worked hard and saved money IN
til he owns business, or house. OIL
a few shares of stock, that is now
taken as fair evidence of the general
meanness of his character. Cores
pondingly, the man who has made &
failure in life, whether through &C
cident, misfortune or downright shift
lessness, is now regarded by many
emotional and well meaning person,
as having a monopoly of all the vir
tues.

A PLACE AT THE PIE COUNTER

Our neighbor, the Gary Tribune,
speaks of the need of good govern

lance of 1t.
To the Tribune competent govern

Tom Knots.
Ever since hizzoner admitted the
Tribune to a place at the city printing

pounded as unusually good. 1t is not

Suffragetteism in England is ex-
tending even to the barnyard. A

fleet that the job here is a "cinch"
compared with that of some postmen
elsewhere. notwithstanding the fact
that a cruel public utilities law pass
ed by the recent inexplicable Indiana
legislatures took away their rights to
ride on street cars without paying
fare.
In the Sahara, for instance, the
man with the mail goes humping over
the hot sand on a camel, prey to
wild tribes; in Switzerland some of
the post offices are situated at "A
height of 1000 feet and the men risk

"CoMIN, THROUGH THE RYE.

Probably very few persons under
stand the expression Comm
Through the Rye" There is in Scot
land a small stream called the Rye.
The girls forded 1t going to church,
school and to market. and as the wat
err was a foot or two deep they had to
hold their skirts up. The boys
would meet them in n1id-stream and
kiss them without any difficulty, as
the girls couldn't drop their skirts
to make any resistance. That's what
the poet meant when he wrote Com
in Through the Rye but most peo-
pie think he meant a field of rye.

Senator Lewis referred to Presi-

when President Buchanan and Sena-

in part:
Senator Douglas signalled his en-
trance to the United States Senate by
a break with the President of the
United States. James Buchanan. The
reasons for his break were of a ma
ture now paralleled by the events
encircling President Wilson and his
Senate. Douglas demanded the dis
tribution of public offices in support
of his policies. President Buchanan
differed from Douglas and permitted
the patronage to be used against
Douglas.
President Wilson presents the OPP
posite attitude. He puts the public
good above the public office and de-
clines either to give out offices to
senators as compensation for their
support, or to penalize those who OPP
pose him by denying public patron

today instructed the law department
to draw complaints for violation of
the fire prevention code against Sam

fire in his place by filling an auto

lamp was burning.
On last Sunday an awning at the
shelter house at East Side Park
caught fire. An investigation devel-
oped that it was caused by John
Payne, 10 years old, OF 232 Elm street

its rolls. Young Payne declared
that he had purchased the sparkler
from Rosen. The latter explained to
Captain Gasser that his wholesaler
had told him that the sale of spark
