Is it any wonder, then, that
the poor devil who feel that the
, law which promises him protec-
tiou fails in its promise loses his
love for the government? 1t is
not the government they hate, it
is the way it is administered.
When a man gets to the point
that he realizes that he has no
protection in court unless he has
a political following, OF that he
can not expect his own and his
family's protection from the out
law or the well groomed brute
unless he is a power in his COM
munity, he naturally asks: "Why
this farce of government, any
way?" The makers Of anarch-
lists is not the slums of the cities,
nor yet the influence of foreign
immigration; it is the bold,
shameless and persistent flaunt-
ing in the face of the poor devil
the fact that he has no rights un.
der the law which the man OF
property and influence is bound
to respect.

story of a lawyer and a preacher

My story goes that a preache

who sometimes INDUCED in tn
use of intoxicants. AT one tim

wandered into the church and SO
down during the progress Of tn
sermon. The preacher pauset

Discovering Corn Meal.

The war in Europe is'likely to
teach the Europeans the value of
corn meal as a human food. The
demand for it has already boost
ed the price of corn in the Amer
lean markets, and it is likely to
boost it still higher. This is un-
fortunate for the domestic con-
sumers of corn bread and boiled
mush, but there will be compen-
sations. After the war is over
the Europeans having eaten corn
will continue to use it, and the
fields Of waving corn on the
American farms will be trans
formed into gold mines. The
yellow kernals will CLINT with the
real lustre of wealth. But ever
/ though corn meal is dearer thar
1t was a few weeks ago, it is still
cheaper than wheat flour. Ne
cessity may teach some Ameri
cans that they can reduce the
cost of living, even now, by us
ing more corn meal. And tina
will be another form in whicl
the compensation will NANTES
itself.

His Way.

He didn't have a single view
On Europe's conflict, old or new;
He didn't even claim to know
The latest news of Mexico.
He had a business tale to tell
0f'merchandise he had to sell,
And so he went ahead and told
And ere the day was done he'd
sold it.
Instead of war he talked about
His merchandise, and pointed out
Wherein it bested other wares.
He minded well his own affairs.
He talked convincingly of why
This is the proper time to buy,
The reason for the price he told
And had another order sold.
He didn't wall in manner sad
That things were going to the bad
He didn't sing a dismal song
Or wear a gloomy face and long
He simply plugged ahead each day
And made the business come his
way,
And when they asked: How!
things with you?"
He'd say; I've all that | can do

Civil War Horse Still Survives.

The oldest horse that served
the country in the war Of the re-
bellion is still alive, at the age of
SO years, at Households, N. Y.
1t is owned by P. A. Mcintosh
who is also a veteran of the same
war. To prove his assertion Mr..
Mcintosh shows the government
brand on the animals hip, which
reads Il. c., 1866" Horse anC

Although bent with age, his hail
turning gray and his teeth be
coming worn, the old warhorsC
is still able to eat IL quarts Of

timated that the animal is a

| Remember.

/ remember, | remember the
house where | was born, the lit
tie window where the sun came
peeping in at morn. You'd hard
ly know the old place now, for
Dad is up-to-date and the farm is
scientific, from the back lot to
the gate. The house and barn
are lighted with bright acetyline,
the engine in the laundry is run
by gasoline; we have silos, we
have autos, we have dynamos
and things, telephone for Cos
sip and a photograph that sings.
The hired man has left us-we
miss his homely face-a lot of
college graduates are working in
his place. There's an engineer
and fireman, a chauffeur and a
vet, Electrician and mechanic,
Oh, the farms run right, you
bet. The little window where
the sun came peeping in at morn
now brightens up a bath room
that cost Dad a car of corn. Our
milkmaid is pneumatic and she's
sanitary, too, but Dad gets fif-
teen cents a quart for milk that
once brought two. Our cattle
came from Jersey and the hogs
are all Duroc, the sheep are
Southdown beauties and the
chickens Plymouth Rock. To
have the best of everything, that
is our aim and plan, for Dad not
only farms it, but he's a business
man. e. f. Mcintyre.

About reads, Experience has
demonstrated conclusively that
dirt roads can not be made good
and kept good in winter. There
is no room for argument in this.
The only question for the people
to decide is whether they want
to continue to endure the fnan-
cial loss caused by bad roads or
pay for good ones. 1t is merely
a matter Of choice. If they want
good roads they are able to build
them. 1t is childish to talk OF
bankrupting the county. AS my
friend, Joe Lykins, would say,
1T can't be did" The constitu-
tional limitations prevent that.
In the final analysis it is simply
a question of whether the county
will invest in prosperity for its
citizens. Taxes would be higher
but the earning capacity of the
citisens would be increased by a
greater percentage The far
mers Of some parts Of the good
roads states pay from $1.1O to
81. so road tax on each $4,000 in
addition to their State, city coun-
ty and school tax, and yet it is
not a burden. They regard good
roads as a part of their improved
farm machinery-a thing to in
crease their earnings.
~ ~
All talk of making dirt roads
economically servicabl!e is as
peurile as talking of reverting to
the stage coach in competition
with the railroads. Do the peo-
pie want good roads? If they
do they can get them only by an
issue of bonds.

Making AnrchiStS.

Every once in a few minutes
some fellow eager for the spot
light hurls at us the danger from
anarchism. Cries Justify for the
determination of the whole brood.
And when the pioneer socialists
publicly proclaimed that there
were two laws in this land--one
for the rich, the other for the
poor-they were branded as an
archists. But the truth of their
allegation stands. In theory we
have but one law, in application
we have two.
Let some poor, ragged devil
commit some crime and let that
crime directly affect some lead
ing" citizen or his family and the
whole machinery of the law is
put into action with the speed of
a fire department answering a
hurry-up alarm, and-if the
neighbors don't volunteer with
summary action-the poor devil
is railroaded to the penitentiary
or the electric chair in about half
the time it would require two
hells to scorch a feather. But
put the shoe on the other foot
and watch the sluggard lag. No
indictment, or no evidence to
convict, if the criminal be rich
or prominent. Prominent far
mers may band themselves to-
gether and kill and burn, but be-
cause they control votes they
are not punished. A man of a
prominent and influential" fam
lily may commit a crime, and if
it only affects some poor devil or
his family, he is not punished.
If the crime is of such nature and
gravity as to arouse popular
clamor a great outward show of
prosecution" is made, but the
mills of justice clog and time
brings forgetfulness and freedom
for the criminal. The page in
the history of jurisprudence
wherein should be recorded the
punishment of the crime of the
strong against the weak is blank:
