This has been one of the nest

the 4th of March, 1913, we have

doctrine We have passed an

We have reconstructed our anti.

power to control the financial
policy of the United States, and
placing that power in the hands
of the people. We have repeal

WHAT DO THE POTENTS POINT
TO?

Some seventeen hundred years
ago the Goths swept down from the
north, oyerrun the sunny fields of
southern Europe and finally took in
imperial Rome.
The hordes were huge, light-hair-
ed, blue-eyed giants, new creation
to southern Europe. The trained
soldiers of Rome moved them down
by thousands, but that did not stop
them. No army could arrest the
coming of the clouds of seventeen
year locusts. The Saxons, another
fierce race of nomads, swept over
northern Europe, learned boat build
ing; crossed the channel and sub
dued England and returning, swept
Franco like prairie fire. They were
fiercer fighters than the Goths, but
were less generous and companion
able. AS if following a far-back in
stinct the mingled descendants of
these races are again in motion, and
as of old, no matter how many are
killed, the horde is not stopped.
Farther back still Tartar horde
swept down from the north and east,
overrun and settled ancient Samaria.
There it mingled with the other
tribes from farther south in Asia and
which came to be known under the
general title of Slav. The descend
ants of them, as if following far
back instinct, are likewise moving
westward in numbers almost count
less. The ficrcest of all of the an
cient invaders, though fewer in num-
bers than either the Goths or the
Tartars-thep Huns, likewise came
from the north and east and for a
period under their terrible leader
were irresistible.
All the on-sweeping host are Ash
attic save the Goths, who were origin
ally or Viking stock.
A careful study of the movements
of ndarly all these hosts makes clear
that despite the transformation made
by civilization, the blending and edu-
cation of the races, some of their
natural instincts have continued, in
ert but in full strength within them.
One of these is an irresistible impulse
at different periods to raise up and
start westward or southwark. The
methods Of men have all changed;
enlightenment has taught the love-

illness of peace and the enchantment

centuries since the doctrine of broth
erly love began to be impressed upon
the savage hearts of men; Justice
has been demanding of man his self
enobling sacrifices and mercy has
been Juggling at the heartstrings Of
nations, beseeching them to lift their
eyes to the high light that comes of

solemn covenant to henceforth adj.

savage march for plumber and more

cept that all the advantages which
learning had taught men seem to
have been devoted to prepare more
scientific methods to carry on war
and to make war more destructive.
Is this to be the last great war?

kings about but only the divinity
that comes to the hearts and brains
