TT was one hundred and three
years ago-January IS. 1911
that Josiah Quincy, of
Massachusetts,, made tine 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,
I address you with an anxiety
and distress of mind with me
wholly unprecedented, To me it
appears that this measure would

of some, to prepare definitely for
a separation-amicably II they

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 | 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. I 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-
dttions 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,
1876 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-
duced from the past In the ex-
perience OF tho English speaking
race, about once in every three
generations a social CONFUSION
has occurred; and probably such
catastrophes must continue 10 oc-
cur. that laws and institutions
may be adapted to physical
growth.
Usually these revolutions are
warllke. but sometimes they are
benign, as vas the revolution over
which General Washington. our
first great progressive, presided,
when the rotting Confederation
under his guidance. was converted
into a 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 il, the first pub
lie love of my heart is the Com
n1onweslth of Massachusetts.
There is my fireside, there are
the tomhs of my ancestors. My
love of this Union grows out of
this attachment to my native soil
and is rooted in it. I cherish it
(the Union), because it affords
the best external hope OF her
tMassachusetts) peace, prosper
ity and independence"
In other words, Josiah Quincy,
a. 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 IL history, and very
strange are many of its dispense
lions. Its consistency is wonder
fully like the chameleon, and its
judgments, like those OF the AL
mighty, are past finding out"
Fitting from Josiah Quincy, Of
Massachusetts,, 10 jefferson Da-
Wis, OF Mississippi, Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, William l..

ture: Think We, that the eight

A Farmers Wife Wants
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 a
simpler tfe and simpler joys:
and so both have made CORE
spending changes in the heavenly
mansion not built by hands.
The woman who longs for
home and for love as its keynote
if she has sent out love 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 1t 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 fate" which she says has
been unkind 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

LIFBS JOURNEY.
A S we speed out Of youths sunny
| a station
The track seems TO shine in the
light,
But It suddenly shoots over chesms
Or sinks into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave IN the
morning
Are 1lled 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 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;
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 whateve; road or division

Or wait in the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the train Will move on

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.

GREAT GERMAN
 OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT
Through Belgium and France as Told From German Stand point, Uncensored by
 British.


 August 29.-(By Courier to New York, via Holland, to es- cape censor.) America has not the faintest realization of the terrible carnage going on in Europe. She cannot realize the determination of Germany - all Germany, men, women and children-in this war. The Ger man empire is like one man. And that mans motto is Path erland or Death"
 England's news sources are reported here as telling of the masterly retreat of the Allies. Here in tn Grman field quarters where every move on the great chess board of Belgium and France is analysed the war to date is referred to as the great est offensive movement in the history of modern warfare. This city is just behind the apex of a wonderful triangle. This tri- angle is the German offensive lines closing in on the British French-Belgian lines. It is moving with relentless swiftness hammering at every point. It is driving the Allied armies south and west toward Paris, yet no one knows whether Paris is really the objective. The French offensive is to be crush ed. The British are to be driven away from their seacoast bases After that Paris will be taken, but before then there will be fought the greatest battle the world has ever witnessed. To. night the German patrols are threatenening Ostend. Part ot the right wing has been pushed southward beyond Lille. The combined British and French forces have been defeated wtil heavy losses about Maubege The army of the Grown Prince has taken the fortress of Long wy by assault after demolish ing it by bombardment. And by this movement and the capture of Luneville, near Nancy, the French center has been pierced From Lille in the west, to Bel fort, far in the southeast, the French lines have been thrown back in utter confusion and the Germans are in force on the French soil. French and Belgi- an prisoners admit that the French have been outgeneralled Up to tonight there has not been real French victory. Their forces were trapped in Alsace- Lorraine. Realizing that the French temperament was more likely to be swayed by sentiment than by the stern adherence to the rules of actual warfare, the German staff selected is own battle lines and waited. The French did not disappoint. They rushed across the border and took Altkirck with little opposi- tion. Then they rushed into Muhlhausen. Through the pass es in the Vosges they poured, horse, artillery, foot-all branch es of the service. Strassburg was to fall and so swift was the French movement that lines of communication were not guard r ed.
 Then the German general staff struck.
