Dangerous Spread Of Errors as
10 Law and Order.

n savage, or barbarous State, the law of
Might makes right. Force breaks down
all barriers, and the weak have no redress
From the club, welded by the strongest brute,
there IS no court of appeal
That's the reason why the Prussian idea of
mlltarlsm is such very dreadful and de-
testable thing. When this War began, Bel
gum and Luxembourg were both protected
from INVASION, by written treaties, to which
German honor was pledged but when the
Mllltarists acanted Belgium and Luxembourg,
the submission Of both was demanded
Belgium refused, and was immediately
visited with all the horrors of brute force,
atroclously eXerted; while Luxembourg, too
weak to even resist, was overrun, occupied.

as though she were the property of the Ger
man Kaiser.
The German writer's and soldiers announced
to the world the old barbarous law of Might
"1Vhat ace need, ace take; and qce alone, decide
qOhat a0e need."
When that principle prevails, we reach the
end of civilization. Your wife ceases to be
yours, If a stronger man wants her. Your
land ceases to be yours, If a stronger man
wants it. Your liberty ceases to be yours, if
some stronger man wants your labor.
1t isn't only in Europe that this revival of
brute force is attempted. The hateful idea
of an upper Glass ruling the lower, of the
itch and the Great running rough shod over
the weak, has made prodigious strides in
America.
Under the Revenue and Income-tax law,
of the Seventies, the rich paid the Federal
Government more than $3O0,000,000, year;
at present, qchen the huge fortunes haze IN
creased fifty fold, the income tax yields less
than $780, 10000. The balance Of the
enormous expense of Government is paid by
the men who buy shoes, hats, clothes, blankets
and farm supplies, and by the men who use
whiskey and tobacco.
No Federal tax comes out of the Trusts, the
Railroads, the Express Companies the In
surance, Telegraph, and Telephone Com
panies Hoac Is that?
The United States Courts decided that the
over and above their expenses; and thus they
charge up the taxes to the general public,
while they proceed to lay such high prices
upon all manufactured commodities, that
dividends are gorging and Cutting the banks.

meaning, namely, that we, too, have fallen
unto the European rut, and have elevated
Glass above the mass. The Glass makes laws
exempting themselves, and giving themselves
Special Privileges; while the masses submit,
as they do in Germany, Austria, Russia, and
Turkey

the Record; or he had remembered your name
when he met you in town, and had tickled
your vanity by Dragging on the fried chicken,
the mutton, the spare7ribs, the backbone, the
hash, the ham and eggs, the buteermilk, etc.,
that he had enjoyed at your house-and had
asked about that bright boy Of yours, who is
going to be great preacher, or a famous
lawyer, or governor, or President.
Lord! You couldn't resist the barney of
that man: You just couldn't He made you
like him! He called for chew, of your
plug; and asked you if you had another cobb
pipe handy: he wanted to know if he might
drop IN on you again, sometime, and sleep in
that same shed room; and he said, meltingly
and lovingly, IF ever you come to Washing
you all the sights" etc. etc.
And by the time he had finished lathering
you with soft soap, you had forgotten to ask
him how he voted on the laws which in
creased your living expenses; and why he
voted for the huge appropriations; and how
came he to support the policies which Jeffer-
son and Jackson hated.
You didn't have the heart to ask unpleasant
questions of such pleasant man-and so you

side the Garden, Abandoned, agoaoising, sqoeat-
ing blood!
The Constitution is simple: anybody can
read and comprehend. Without trial by
jury, no person-young or old, white or black
can be deprived of life or liberty
Of property, no person can be deprived,
without due process of law.
When compulsory legislation sends a doc
tor to your house, forces entry, takes possess
sion of. your child, assaults that child, wounds
it with lancet, iniects putrid filth into its
veins, and thereby sickens it-possbly MAIN
ing it for life, or causing blood poison, lock-
jaw, and death-can any intelligent human
being fail to see that the highest zaaU has been
viozated?
If your child can bedeprived of liberty and
life, under "health regulations" and "Police
power" aohat becomes of your Constitution?
In the very nature of things, civilization
implies, the reign of the law. Somewhere,
must be supreme law, definite, fiaed, atni-
VerSdz
Under our system, we have written that
supreme law into the constitutions. Can any
statute, or Act Of Congress, go higher than
the highest zau?
If so, what becomes Of our safety? Who
shall set the limits, and where?
If police powers can override Constitu-
tional limitations, then we go adrift, on a
shoreless sea, and are at the mercy of every
Congress, every Legislature, every municipal
corporation.
When an autocratic Prussian, like Peter
Bahnsen, imagines himself to have a spiked
helmet on his head, or orders you to drive
your COWS to a dip-vat, Peter is evidently
thinking of those things that are made in

gress and Of the Legislature.
From the Democratic Administration of
Woodrow Wilson, for example, not a single
law has come, helpful to the masses.
Without solitary exception, the acts of
Congress, since 1912, have been dictated by
the privileged Class. The laws are those of
the club, Of Night. There is no trace of
equity, justice, and right in the legislation of
this rotten Administration
The retention of the "War taxes; the re-
fusal to put the graduated principle into the
feeble income tax law; the increase of e@-
perSes By more than a quarter billion dollars;
the refusal to keep faith with the Philippine
Islands; the Reputation of the promise to
give the farmers a Rural system Of real value;
the failure to enforce the law against monopo-
lies; the squandering of $4O000,00O on the
grafters who fiddle with River emhankments;
the creation of new appointive Boards and
Commissions, and the vast expansion of the
utterly useless work of a permanent Census
Department. this legislation is for the
Glasses, nor for the masses
I call your especial attention to the rapid
increase of laws which are not valid, and
which infringe your natural, and Constitu-
tional rights.
In every civilized State there is a supreme
power, necessarily. Somewhere, in somebody,
must be lodged the power to control. In the
absolute monarchy, the King holds and YIELDS
this sovereignty. In the limited monarchy,
Parliament, or an Assembly, or Reichstag,
or a Duma, shares the supreme power
In a democracy, like that of the Swiss can
tons, the people come together and make the
laws, choose temporary magistrates, and rule
the land by majority vote, which is itself
curbed, by certain limits marked out in the
Constitution of the Confederacy.
In Republic, like ours, where it is a physi-
cal lmpossibility for the people to meet, as
they do in Switzerland, the plan is, to have
the voters of prescribed districts 90 to the
polls on a certain day, every two years, and
elect delegate to represent them in the ma
tional House Of Representatives.
[ confine myself to this illustration, be-
cause it is the most familiar, and the one
which comes closest to you.
Inasnuch as neither the Senate, nor the
Cabinet, nor the President could move peg
If the House of Representatives stood firm
for it's coordinate (equaD powers" it ought
to be plain enough, that the peoples House
could protect the people, IT IT WANTED
TO DO so.
Another proposition, equally plain, is this:
the peoples House of Representatives qcouzd
protect the people, If the people stood firm for
their 0aO11 rights.
Who, then, is primarily to blame for the
rotten condition Of our Government, and for
the appalling situation Of the common peo-
pie?
The U0ter is to blame.
With swords that drank blood, our fore
fathers won the ballot; and, with that ballot
in my hand, my ancestor expected me to pre-
serve the liberties which he had won for me,
with the sword.

BUTTERMILK GOOD FOR HENS
Acts as General Aid to Digestion and
Develops vigor and Vitality to
a Marked Degree.

Perhaps no feeds are so general and
yet put to such slight actual use on
the average farm as buttermilk or
skim milk. Both are about the same
in feeding value, particularly after the
latter has become sour The full
value of buttermilk or skim milk does
not lie SO much in its food value as
in its effect on other foods and gem
eral aid to digestion. Buttermilk also
develops yigor and vitality to
marked degree as well as promoting
unusual growth at the same time.
Milk, added to the ration, increases
the consumption of other foods and
experiments have shown the greatest
increase or gain with chickens was
made when most skim milk was being
fed.
Buttermilk is also very valuable for
laying hens, having very high feed.
