ABoLIsHING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

To date the Investigations of the mine strike stu
alton IN Colorado have been many. There have been
inquiries by the State of Colorado, Federal COM
aitee the State Federation of Labor committee, the
Federal Council Of the Churches of Christ in America
and other committees besides social workers seeking
material for study and articles
But with all these Investigations the of
testimony has not yet been so sfted and studied
TO render any official judgment that will squarely
place the responsibility There was also court
martial of an officer of the State militia that ended
in exoneration. The various interests involved have
been busy fling their respective charges and counter
charges.
Now the Federal committee industrial reia-
tons is having an investigation and hearing testi-
Inony One witness, Prof James H. Brewster, of the
University of Colorado made the statement that
stitutional rights were abolished when the State
troops went into the coal strike zone and in his oriti
csm of the character and conduct of the troops he
appeared be in agreement with the report of the
Federal Council of Churches, recently issued.
Whatever the differences between the mine COM
panies and the United Mine Workers of America, the
barge that constitutional rights abolished is
srious one When the rights of men under the con-
ttution of State denied by force of arms there
no accounting for what may follow. For the time
eng might becomes right. When strife, or inepient
evolution enters that stage wherein it is not amen
BILE TO reason and persuasion governor may declare
lartial law in order to condition of affairs
avorable to calm consideration of the questions at
sue But it is not for the head of the armed forces
take this initiative, and certainly not at the in
ance of one side the other in the conflict
But the proclamation of martial law is something
cry different from the abolition of constitutional
ghts for one party in the industrial struggle, the
triking miners which is the meaning of this testi-
aony of Prof Brewster The constitutional guaran-
ses are supreme, and should be denied his
lppeal TO them The courts should be always open to
very for the redress of grievances If eonstitu-
onal rights we're abolished and courts closed to any
nan or group of men, the result would be anarchy and
-oeial chaos. Progress can only be made along the
ath of reason and the moral conscience, and const
utional rights and courts exist for the purpose OF
turthering safe and sane progress.

A CHRISTMAS TRUCE.

The humane proposal by the Pope to the warning
powers to declare a Christmas truce was condition
ally approved by Germany. the conditions being only
the acceptance by the powers England left the
decision to the French government. The Russian
Christmas is January 7, and to cover both festivals
the truce would be extended thirteen days. There
might however, be truce in the war in the west
It was a splendid thought to be injected into this
great world
And 1t appealed peculiarly to the German nation
with traditions of Christmas and to the German
soldier at the front. The quiet observance of the
Christmas festival by the cessation of all warfare
and such celebration could be had in the trenches
would be inspiration for Christmas throughout the
nation For that day there would be something like
Christmas cheer, though the land is full OF
mourning for those who have fallen
But what blessed pause, for one day, for all
in a strife that destructive of civilization
itself! To millions of non-combstants as we'll as to
the armies engaged both Sides Christmas truce
would bring ray of hope with relaxation, for one
day at least of the terrible anxetes that weigh them
down.
To the American MUD the proposition for the
truce is an inspired one. and to many American
people it is suggestion of open door to the peace
which millions in country have prayed for.

through the village of Concord, Mass,
with citizen of that town, who was

interest, and who had learned many
anecdotes associated with HaW-

Fuller, Elizabeth Peabody, Haw-
thorne's sister-in-law, and distin--

gave distinction to that town in

distance away stood an ol0-fashioned

bucket resting upon the fragments of
an ancient covering. 1t was a relic
of the departed years. Nearby stood
an old-fashioned wooden pump, which
had been used for many years as a
substitute for the older-fsshioned
we'll sweep and bucket.
My companion said: If Wood
worth, the poet, wrote The Old
Oaken Bucket which gained imme-
date and permanent fame for him,
had waited a few years he probably
would not have had occasion TO
write it at all. Everybody in this
town up to about seventy years ago
used the oaken bucket and the we'll
sweep when he wanted to get water.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
BIZ DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHRERG.
A. B., NJ. A., NJ D. John Hopkins.

Hsw You Live by the Agency OF Real
Heat.
What is the force that makes dry
seed blown about by the winds for
years and years finally settle down
snugly in some solemn spot OF soil,
there to fructify and spread over the
face of the earth as food for fabulous
numbers? What makes an egg hatch
and become the parent of a prodig1-
Gus progeny?
No one has ever before proposed an
answer to this. Comes now, however,
Chief Judge Peter r. Swing, the
eminent jurist of Cincinnati, with an
explanation of this, as well as the
vital activity of mankind. Says he:
1.-THE one force that operates the
human machine is heat. 1t made the
machine and it is running it, and
when it is worn out 1t will return to
the soil from whence 1t came"
He cites the experiments of DR.,
Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller In
stitute. DR.. Carrel kept the vital or
gans of animals alive outside their
bodies at 100 degrees temperature for
more than half day. Judge Swing
saws, truly. that DR.. Carrel and few
if any physicians comprehend fully
the meaning of these experiments.
The brain has nothing to do with
life. Neither has the heart. No vital
organ is necessary to life. None OF
them carries life on. The stomach
does not of itself digest, or the tissues
assimilate food. 1t is heat that does
It. The normal amount of heat which
susteins human life or that OF warm
blooded animals is 100 degrees.
What medicines, chemicals. cleo
tricity, doctors or other human
agencies do is to arrange the proper
conditions for heat TO act. Heat is
life. Heat does all physiological
work.
Fever is often present in man at
tackled by infectious maladies. Vio-
lence and poisons also cause fever.
This is life's extra effort to survive,
to enhance it's own force and de-
stroy the enemy.
"The time will surely come when
man will have found some means TO
destroy the parasites of disease sure
w and quickly says Judge SWING
and he sees no reason why the aver
