lutism and arms.
For the Belgians have free and par
liamentary government. King and
army are under constitutional restraint.
The army is maintained for national
defense only. and the constitution ex.
pressly prohibits wars of offense. The
constitution guarantees to the citizen
equality before the law, personal lib
erty and security. the right Of asso-
citation and petition and the freedom
Of worship, instruction and the press,
closely resembling in all these guar
antees the constitution Of the United
States.
The Belgian kind can not suspend
the execution Of the laws, and his min
listers, as in Great Britain, are direct
ly responsible to a popularity chosen
legislature.
More Progressive Than the v. s.
In at least one respect the Belgian
constitution is more progressive than
that Of the United States. 1t gives
minority parties representation in the
legislative chambers in the proportion
Of their vote to the total poll. In this
state, for illustration. 1t is conceivable
that one political party, by carrying
all the legislative districts, might have
NO opposition al all In the legisla-
ture, ana 4. he opposition party
might hs'' rolled approximately as
many total votes. In that case nearly
half Of the population Of the state
would be wholly deprived Of legisla.
tive representation. 6
Under tht' Relrirn system that IN.
equality and injustice are made impos.
sible. This provision Of the Belgian
constitution, adopted in 1899, was espe.
cially pleasing to the liberals and the
socialists, for It gave them a strong
voice in the chambers that had been
previously denied.
The possibility IL remote of physical
war between the United States and
Germany, but II clash of arms should
come every liberty-loving German in
the United States would be bound. not
only by his sense Of duty to the great.
tree country Of his adoption, but by
his regard for human freedom and
rights TO give ssalous support to the
natioa's cause.

An Important Invention

What we believe to be one of
the greatest as we'll as the sim
plest inventions and one that
means the saving of millions of
dollars to the farmers of the
South, is an improvement on
plow points invented by Mr.. S. M.
Johnston, well-known and
successful planter of near Lib
erty.
The plow points now on the
market are the same thickness
all over except the beYel edge
point. After q little use the
points wear off and in order to
get another point the blacksmith
cuts off a good part of the pIow
and beats it down to get another
point. The right side of the
point does not wear on the plow
point now on the marget. Mr..
Johnston's plow point is thin on
the right side, the left side being
three times as thick. This al
lows the point to wearfully three
TINS as long as the common
point, and when it does need
sharpening there is plenty of
material to beat it down" with
out cutting off any Of the point.
