TT was one hundred and three
years ago-January Is, 1911
that Josiah Quincy, of
Massachusetts,, made the speech
in the Congress which anticipated
Jefferson Davis and Robert
Toombs by nearly a couple Of
generations
The question before the Con-
gress was that of the admission
of Louisiana, and Mr.. Quincy
spoke as follows: Mr.. Speaker,
l address you with an anxiety
and distress of mind with me
wholly unprecedented. To me II
appears that this measure would
Justify a revolution in this coun-
try. am compelled to declare
II az my deliberate opinion that
II this bill passes, the bonds OF
the Union are virtually dissolved.
that the States which compose It
are free from their moral obliga-
lions, and that, as it will be the
right of all, so it will be the duty
of some, to prepare definitely for
a separation-amicably II they
can. violently IL they must"
Here we have every idea that
was advanced by Jefferson Da-
Wis, Robert Toombs and their CO.
adjutors in lS61-1s65. William l..
Yancey. the most rabld of the Sc
cessionistss never. in any OF his
speeches, went beyond what was
said by Josiah Quincy in 1911.
He could not have done SO had
he tried. for the Massachusetts,
man had already gone to the lin
1t. had spoken the last word that
it was possible to say upon the
subject.
The bold. open threat Of Seces-
sion, the constitutional right OF
Secession. the solemn duty of Sc
cession upon the part of the
States feeling themselves ag-
grieved: and, finally, the armed
resistance TO any attempt that
might be made by the Govern
ment in a coercive way TO hold
the would-be seeding States in
the Union.

Reorganization of Our Social System
BY EDWIN MARKHAM.

name, l may describe this class as
the industrial capitalistic class,
composed In the main of admins
traitors and bankers.
las nothing in the universe is
stationary, ruling classes have
their rise. elimination and de-
cline; and I conjecture that this
class attained to Its acme of
popularity and power, at least
in America. toward the close Of
the third quarter of the nine
teenth century. | draw this in
ference from the fact that in the
next quarter resistance to capt
talistic methods began to take
shape in such legislation as the
Interstate Commerce law and the
Sherman act.
'Industrialism has induced con-
ditions which can no longer be
controlled by the old capitalistic
methods. and the country must be
brought to a level OF administra-
tive efficiency competent to deal
with the strains and stresses of
the twentieth century, Just as,
1875 years ago the country was
brought TO an administrative level
competent for that age by the
adoption of the Constitution.
THE Inference that radical
changes are at hand might be de-
ouced from the past. In the ex-
perience OF the English speaking
race. about once In every three
generations a social CONFUSION
has occurred; and probably such
catastrophes must continue to oc-
cur. that laws and institutions
may be adapted to physical
growth.
Usually these revolutions are
warlike, but sometimes they are
benign, as was the revolution over
which General Washington. our
first great progressive, presided,
when the rotting Confederation.
under his guidance. was converted
into relatively excellent admin
istrative system by the adop-
ton OF the Constitution"

A Bay State Secessionist
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

Mr.. Quincy's speech concluded
as follows:
"Sir, | confess it, the first pub
lie love of my heart ia the Com
nnonwealth Of Massachusetts.
There is my fireside, there are
the tombs Of my ancestors. My
love of this Union grows out of
this attachment to my native soil
and is rooted in it. | cherish it
(the Union, because it affords
the best external hope OF her
(MassachusettsO peace, prosper
ity and Independence"
In other words. Josiah Quincy,
as was the case later with Rob-
ert E. Lee, loved his native State
best. and in the event of his be-
ing obliged TO make a choice, was
prepared to "go with his State"
much as he loved the Union.
Strange is history. and very
strange are many OF it's dispense
tions. Its consistency is wonder
fully like the chameleon, and it's
judgments. like those of the AL
mighty. are past finding out"
Fitting from Josiah Quincy, Of
Massachusetts, to Jefferson Da-
Wis, OF Mississippi, Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, William l..
Yancey, of Alabama, eft al, we are
reminded of the words of Scrip
ture: Think We, that the eight
cen upon whom the tower in ST.
loan fell, and killed, were Offend
ers above all the men that dwell
in Jerusalem?

TR. BROOKS ADAMS. in
WI The Theory of Social
Revolutions" scholarly
book Just issued from the Mac
milan Company, sends forth
some large congratulations that
set us specializing as to the trend
OF our present governments. He
opens thus:
Civilization, I apprehend, is
nearly synonymous with order.
However much We may differ
touching such matters as the dis
tribution of property, the domes-
tic relations, the law OF inheri-
lance and the like, most OF us,
should suppose, would agree that
without order civilization. as we
understand It, can not exist.
81 think 1t clear that within re-
cent years an uneasy suspicion
has come into being that the
principle OF authority has been
dangerously impaired. and that
the social system, II II is to CO.
here, must be reorganized. So far
as my observation has extended,
such intuitions are usually not
without an adequate cause. and
II there be reason for anxiety
anywhere, II surely should be In
the United States, with It's un-
wieldy bulk, it's heterogeneous
population and its complex gov
eminent. Therefore | submit that
an hour may not be quite wasted
which is passed in considering
some OF the recent phenomena
which have appeared about us,
in order to ascertain II they can
be grouped together in any COM
prehensible relation.

American and French revolutions

A Farmers Wife Want,
More; a Duchess
Often Less.

Yet no doubt they will be less
unsimtlar than now, because the
farmers wife has often wished
for more Of this earth's goods
wherewith to enlarge her sphere
of usefulness, and the Duchess
has no doubt often wished for
simpler life and simpler JOYS;
and so both have made core
spending changes in the heavenly
mansion not built by hands.
The woman who longs for q
home and for love as its gera6te
If she has sent out lo.s vibrations
to all the world, and envied no
woman who had more than she
here, but rejoiced in all the bless
fngs which have fallen to the
share OF others, she will surely
find her mansion waiting. And
she will enjoy it and the society
of those she loves until Il Is time
for her TO pass on to other regions
IN the Worlds Beyond, and to re-
incarnate again and return to
earth; where, no doubt, she will
then be given the Home Life in
material form.
The ''fats'' which she says has
been unktnd to her was only her
old self in past lives, where she
failed to appreciate home life and
domestic affection.
For as we SOW we reap. Other
wise there would be 70 justice IN
the universe.
A great Religious Teacher tells
us there are four important steps
in self improvement, the self

LIFYs JOURNEY.
A we speed out OF youths sunny
"A station
The track seems to shine in the
light,
But It suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels OF night
Ana the hearts that were brave in the
morning
Are filed with repining and fears
AS they pause at the City Of Sorrow
Or pass through the Valley Of Tears
But the road Of this perilous tourney
The hand Of the Master has made:
With all Its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into dark
ness,
Ways plunging from gloom to do
spair.
Wind out through the tunnels Of mid
night
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows
surround US,
Though we catch not one gleam of
the day,
-Above US fair cities are laughing,
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in the West,
The last final end Of our journey,
There lies the Great City of Rest
Tis the Grand Central point Of all
railways,
All roads unite here when they end /;
II, the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile books, all passes,
If stolen or begged for or bought,
On whateve; road or division,
Will bring you at last to this spot.
II you pause at the City of Trouble,
Or wait In the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the train Will move on
ward
And rush down the track Of the
years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your game or your quest,
You shall come at the last with re-
joicing
To the beautiful City Of Rest
You shall store all your baggage OF
worries,
You shall feel perfect peace In this
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair
waters,
With Joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool, fragrant
gardens
With those who have loved you the
best,
And the hopes that were lost in life's
journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.
