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 MIR, Quincy
spoke as follows: Mr.. Speaker,
l address you with an anxiety
and distress of mind with me
wholly unprecedented. To me it
appears that this measure would
justify a revolution in this coun-
try. | am compelled to declare
II as my deliberate opinion that,

the Union are virtually dissolved.

Reorganization of Our Social System
BY EDWIN MARKHAM.

TR. BROOKS ADAMS, in
wi The Theory of Social
Revolutions" a 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, l apprehend. is
nearly synonymous with order
However much we may differ
touching such matters az the dis
tribution of property, the domes-
tic relations, the law OF inheri-
lance and the Ike. most of US. l
should suppose, would agree that
without order civilization, as we
understand 1t, can not exist.
Il think IL 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 it is to CO.
here, mus; 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 its un-
wieldy bulk. its 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
preheBs!ble relation.
About century ago tafter the
American and French revolutions
and the Napoleouic wars) the
present industrial era opened and
brought .6ith u . new governing

name, | may describe this class as
the industrial capitalistic class,
composed in the main of admins
traitors and bankers.
AS nothing in the universe is
stationary. ruling classes have
their rise, elimination and de-
cline; and l 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.
'lndustrialism has induced con-
ditions which can no longer be
controlled by the old capitalistic
methods, and the country must be
brought to level of ,administra-
tive efficiency competent to deal
with the strains and stresses of
the twentieth century, Just as.
l25 years ago the country was
brought 10 an administrative level
competent for that age by the
adoption OF the Constitution.
The inference that radical
changes are at hand might be de-
duced from the past In the ex-
perience OF the English speaking
race, about once in every three
generations social CONFUSION
has occurred, and probably such
cRtastrophes must continue to oc-
cur, that laws and institutions
may be adapted 10 physical
growth.
Usually these revolutions are

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 is the Com
monweslth of Massachusetts,.
There is my fireside, there arc
the tonnbs of my ancestors. Ny
love of this Union grows out Of
this attachment to my native sol
and is rooted in it. ! cherish il
(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 Z. 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 its dispense
tons. Its consistency is wonder
fully like the chameleon, and its
judgments. like those OF the Al
mighty, are past finding out"

Massachusetts to jefferson Da-

has no doubt often wished for a
simpler life and simpler joys:

LIFEs JOURNEY.
4 S we speed out of youths sunny
n station
Z = The track seems to shine in the
light,
But it suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels Of night.
And 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 journey
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 de-
spair.
Wind out through the tunnels of mid
night
To fields tnat are blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows
surround US,
Though we catch not one CLEAN OF
the day,
..bove 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;
T. 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 whatever road or division,
VIII 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 hfes
journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.

FRIENDLY TO EENOsHA PLANT
New Manager Is Expected to Aid Ma
terially in Settling Difficulties Over
the Coming OF the Interurban Cars
Into the Heart of the City.

s. B. Way of Milwaukee, and vide
~ known in Kenosha, has been named
as general manager of the Milwaukee
Electric Railway and Light Company
and he is to have the management of
the business of the company in the
absence of President James d. Morti-
mer who was recently named as presi-
dent of the great syndicate controlling
all of the companies associated under
the management of the North American
Company. For several years Mr.. Way
has been the first vice president and
assistant general manager of the com
pany. In his new position Mr.. Way
will be a controlling factor in the
management Of the urban and inter-
urban railway lines In and about Ke-
nosha. There is no man in the COM
pany who has kept in such close touch
with the conditions in Kenosha as
General Manager Way and his assum-
ing the management of the great bust
ness is certain to open the way for
Kenosha to secure many changes long
sought. Mr. Way has been interested
in the development of the Kenosha
end of the properties Of the company
and has shown willingness to be
eminently fair with the city. In the
recent efforts to secure a new lighting
contract for Kenosha Mr. Way took
the matter up personally and his work
in this matter convinced every official
who came in contract with him of
his entire fairness.
The coming of Mr.. Way to the man
agement of the big Milwaukee com
pany should aid materially in securing
the return of the interurban cars to
the heart of Kenosha. This matter
will now be directly under the man
agement of the new head Of the Mil
waukee properties and it is thought
that new negotiations will be opened
at once. Members Of the committees
of the Retailers Association and the
Milwaukee Avenue Property Owner IS
Association have held no meeting and
the chairman OF the committee declar-
ed last night that no meeting was
contemplated until some proposition
was secured from the Milwaukee COM
|pany General Manager Way is ex-
pected to come to Kenosha within a
week to take up the lighting contract
and at that time he will undoubtedly
be asked tn extend his efforts a1one, q
line of securing arrangements where
by the electric railway interurban cars
may be brought into Kenosha.
The elevation of Mr.. Way to high
position in the directorate Of the com
pany is decidedly pleasing 70 the of
ficials of the Wisconsin Gas and Flee
trio Company in Kenosha as he has
been a great favorite among these men.
