he had and asked him this question:
did YOU ever fail to return all of
your property for taxation at its full
value!"
Then he laughed and admitted that
he was a criminal.
How many rich men in Chicago
can stand that test? How many of
them who insist that the law hound
the petty criminals ever stand off
and take a good look at their own
conduct?
I wonder how many members of
the Law and Order League lie when
they list their property for taxation?
And even swear to a lie?
If the punishment prescribed by
law were inflicted for every violation
of law, how many of us would be in
prison?

Are We All Crin1inaIs?I was talk
ing recently to the president of a big
brewery merger, and during the con-
versation told him that he was a
criminal, that l was criminal and
that every rich man he and l knew
was a criminal.
He resented it. He agreed that he
had too big belly, that he probably
ate more and drank more than his
body needed, because he enjoyed the
good things of life, but he insisted
that he was not criminal
Then we discussed what was GRIM

Forces of Law and Justice.-The
Chicago News, commenting on the
Colorado war, says:
''The forces of law and justice are
weak indeed if they fail to bring. per-
manent peace with little further de-
lay out of this condition of violent
anarchy"
There would have been no trouble
had the forces of law been also the
forces of justice, but they were not.
The law was pulling one way and
Justice another.
All appeals to law for justice fell
on ears that would not hear. When
men found they couldn't get justice
through appeals to the law, and that
all they got from the law were muir
derous bullets from the guns Of hired
mercenaries, they armed themselves
to protect themselves and their fami-
lies from injustice.
Get team work out of law and
Justice and there will be no trouble.
AS it is, they are as far apart as the
poles in COlorado-and elsewhere.

LAWS OF WAR ON LAND.

Adopted to Save Conquered States
From Organized Piliage.
The Hague laws of war on land,
drawn up in 1899 and 1907 and adopt
ed By all nations, were designed to
check the rapacity of conquerors and
to save vanquished states from organ
lied Gpoliation, says Case and Com
ment.
Pillage is formally forbidden. This
is q prohibition against the loOting Of
captured towns. against acquiring
booty ut the expense of private proper
ty, but does not, OF course. forbid the
seizure of horses, arms or military sup.
plies taken on the field Of battle.
The laws further permit military
occupant to levy. in addition to the or
binary taxes. money contributions for
the needs OF the army or OF the admin
istration OF the occupied territory. Con-
tributions are to be required only on a
written order and on the responsibility
of commander In chief.
Their collection is to be regulated by
the rules in force for the assessment OF
taxes, and in every case receipt Is to
be given to the individual payer. But
this voucher, while evidence that mon
ey, goods or service has been eXacted,
implies In itself no promise to pay on
the part OF the occupant.

Instead of being obsolete and simply
an interesting relic. the hourglass I'm
various forms is a twentieth century
necessity. A machinist authority
points out that for such purposes as
timing hardening and tempering heats
in twist drill manufacture. where Sec
onds or minutes must be gauged accu-
rately, nothing serves like the hour
glass with the right amount of sand.
Accuracy to fractions of a second can
be had much more easily than by
watching the hands Of watch.

Order to Attack.
During one Of the numerous war,
waged by France two centuries ago
strange scene took place near SaluZzc
a disputed outpost. which well Illus
trates the religious spirit which Ofte
prevailed among the soldiers OF earle
times
The French approached tna besieg

ranged for conflict. The Sun shOn,
from cloudIess sky; every detail OF
each array in the field was visible to
the other and both were beheid al
once from the citadel.
There were three French marshak
present. and it was Schomberg's turn
to command. He drew up his 10000
men in four lines. with skirmishers III

placed at stated intervals. ready to
charge.
In this impressive order and in absu
lutte silence the French advanced until
nearly within cannon shot, when at n
signal the army was halted and SimuI-
taneously knelt down to pray. Then
followed the order to attack. which
was silently and cheerfully obeyed.

Capitals and Armies.

Twice the United States has lost its
capital to foreign foe. but neither
time did 1t produce much effect upon
the war. The first time was when
Howe's redcoats swept into Philadel-
phia after the battle of Brandywine.
The other occasion was when anoth-
er British army seized and burned
Washington. What Howe needed to
end the war in 1777 was not Philadel-
phia, but Washington's army, and that
he didn't get. A country's army ia
worth dozen capitals. The British
captured Americas three largest cit
les, Boston. New York and Philadel-
phia, but that availed them little in the
long run.-Philadelphia Ledger.
