man at the stake if he had talked
aboht flying, but we can fly.
Shucks, it would take a week
to name all the things common to
us that our forefathers knew moth
ing about. Just suppose we haa
accepted them as our final author-
ity on science and invention, ana
had hung every man who tried
to improve something. The year
1914 would have been found suck
ing the hind tit of 1776, with the
lice of ignorance foot thick all
over it.
Now, then. Just think minute.
If the good old men of those early
days had such a limited knowledge
of our material progress, and OF
what our industrial needs would
be, how on earth did it happen
that they were SO all-wlse In mat
ters of government How could
they know just exactly what form
of government would suit us best
here in this Twentieth Century?
Here we are, nation Of living
people, hemmed in and fenced
about with the thoughts and theo-
ries of dead men, and with an in
growing belief that we haven t
the right to change anything.
Fiddlesticks Why didn't our
Revolutionary ancestors build a
big insane asylum to put us all In
if they thought we wouldn't have
sense enough to take care of our
selves?
They mixed up jug Of politics
and left it in the closet. with in
structions for us to take a dose Of
it every SO often. Well, we've
been taking it like good babies,
but now the blamed stuff has
soured and stinks worse than the
very devil. I'm in favor Of pour
ing out the whole rotten mess,
scalding the jug, and trying some
thing else awhile. What do you
think about it, mister?

HERE'S THE REASON

Friends, | hate like all sixty
for The Fool-Killer to be so late,
but there is a good reason for it.
Sickness in my home has made it
impossible for me to give proper
attention to the paper for some
time past, but [ am hoping that the
worst is over and that | will now
be able to catch up and keep up.
Also, for the same reason, my
personal and business correspon-
dence has been much neglected.

PERSONAL TO YOU.

IIOWQy, cOmfaQeS
Hope you are all feeling good.
[ hardly know how to express
my thanks to you for the splen-
did work you have been doing for
me. If | had 1000 arms, and ev-
cry arm was 1000 miles long,
I'd just like to hug every one
Of you. But I've only got two
poor little arms, and they are
kept so busy that | don't hardly
get time to hug my old woomern.
Since I reduced the club price
from fifteen cents to ten cents
the clubs have literally poured in
from every nook and corner of
the United States. Several club
raisers have sent in three or four
clubs a week right along. I have
been trying to acknowledge the
receipt of all clubs, but during the
past two or three weeks they have
come in so fast that | have got
behind and can't catch up. There
fore a good many clubs have not
yet been acknowledged in the
usual way. To those club-raisers
who have not received my regular
letter Of acknowledgment, let me
say here that I appreciate your
help more than words can
express.
AS stated in the October issue,
I can't tell how long the ten-cent
rate will run. If the price of print
paper goes up (which am ex-
pecting) it will have to be with
drawn. But we will risk it for an
other month, anyway. So tell all
your friends to hurry and jump
in while the bars are down.

PRECEDENT VS.. PROGRESS.

words that Noah Webster ever
trotted to sleep on his manly knee
and put to bed between the covers
of his diction book, is that little
scoudrel they spell this way:
Precedent. >
[ shall now take that word for
my text and preach you little
sermon. You know the accepted
meaning Of the word. Or if you
don't you'd better dig into your
Webster and find out.
Miss Precedent is the accom-
plished daughter of Mr.. Precede,
and the granddaughter of old
Uncle Go-Before. She is supposed
to be a pattern-an example
something to go by. The idea is
that you mnst not do anything un-
less somebody else has done the
same thing, or something just like
it, before.
1t is enough to tickle a wooden
Indian to see some great jack-leg
statesman bounce upon a cracker
box, cram his handkerchief in
his breeches and mop his face with
his shirt-tail, and then chew up a
square mile Of perfectly good at
mosphere trying to find a ''prece-
dent for this, that and the other.
Why, ding it, mister, what if
old Adam had waited to find a
"precedent'' before he started to
raising babies-where do you
reckon you would have been
at today? If everybody must
have a pattern to go by, who in
the Tom Thunder will make the
patterns?
Go back to the very begin
ning-before man had accomplish
ed anything, 1t looks to me like
some daredevil Of fellow, had to
hit out for himself-take a leap
in the dark-and do something.
He couldn't have had any pattern
to go by, either. Somebody, some
time, and somewhere, had to
make the first 'precedent" or the
blamed thing never would have
been made. And if that somebody
had a right to do it, why haven t
you and I the same right?
But still we are slaves to prece-
dent. Here we sit like a pack OF
blamed idiots, afraid to risk our
own judgment.
Back in the dim past a crowd OF
! our ancestors got together and
hewed out a plan Of government
They made it just as perfect as
they could, of course, and it was
all right for that day and time
But one generation Of people can I
look ahead and know what future
generations will need.
}, To say that this government
reached perfection in its infancy
and that no further improvements
are possible, is the same as to say
that the newborn babe is wiser
than the old college professor
It is the same as to say that the
, school-boy's first crude essay il

masterpiece of a Shakespeare.

Willis X. Palmer. SO years old, was
deprived OF his life certificate as q
teacher. by the state Board of Educa-
ton. Friday evening, in its meeting
In the Hotel Cadillac. He was charg-
ed with improper conduct with a 16-
year-olo girl In his school in Allen
Vile. Palmer did not appear before
the board. though he had been given
two invitations to state his side of
the case. Several afidavits alleging
clandestine meetings between Palmer
and the girl, and number OF letters
said to have been written by Palmer
to her, were introduced as evidence,
and 1t was on the strength OF these
that the board acted.
+. j. IAchance. commissioner OF
schools in Mackinac county, In which
Allenville is situated, wrote to the
board, asking that action be taken
quickly, as he feared mob violence
against Palmer. An afidavit from the
girls father was also In possession
Of the board. saying that he had
twice warned Palmer to cease his
attentions.

Mr. Myers traces the economic his.

ana the debauchinY of the Indians

astical and feudal lords; the founda-

distributed to its members. He de-
scrtbes the complete authority of the
landowners, the reyolts against them,
eliminating In the insurrection OF

which ended feudal tenures. He de-
scrbes how the sovereignty of the

lands was wrested from 1t, In large
