Perhaps l have no right to try to
teach others, for that privilege only
belongs to those who are well paid
and well authorized to do the teach
ing, whether right or wrong.
Fighting and killing over religious
beliefs must be right, according to
the ideas of some, although the very
teacher they claim to love taught
them it was wrong.
The Catholic hates the Protestant,
and they all get together and hate
the Jew, and the rich Jew, the rich
Protestant and the rich Catholic all
get together and fleece the poor of all
creeds. They have even got the
workers fighting and killing each
other over what Jesus Christ taught
them to agree upon.

would be grand, but have we got it?
Will we get it? When the rich man
begins to feel that he has been I'M

GOOD ROADS AND TAXES.-The
lower house of congress has passed
bill appropriating $25,OOO,OOO from
the federal treasury to aid in the con-
struction of good roads. 1t is to be
distributed among the states, pro-
rated according to population. Like
most legislative appropriations it is
subtle device to rob the many for
the benefit of the few.
The federal treasury is filled by the
pennies taken directly and indirectly
from the poor. Every cent so taken
represents the honest earnings of
labor and reduces the comfort of the
laborer to the minimum that will
keep him in working order The bulk
of the federal revenue is derived from
indirect taxes which finally fall upon
the shoulders of labor and make it's
condition worse.
Every bit of legislation that seeks
to place direct taxes in places where
it cannot be shifted is fought to the
limit by the special privileges that
profit by indirect taxes. Limited re-
venues are derived from income and
Inheritance taxes, but the federal
treasury is filled mainly by bleeding
the poor, and much of the bleeding
is done ostensibly for the purpose of
benefting the poor
Such part of this $25, 100000 as I'LL
timately reaches the good roads will
have but one effect. It will increase
the value of lands abutting and near
to the roads improved. 1t will bring
to the owners of such lands greater
rents and greater selling value and

By Cassie Moncure Lyme

1t 10 memorial month of May
When through all this land wide
From where cold Massachusetts, Bay
Blends with the Gulf stream tide.
There comes a hallowed day.
When we from sordid gain
And marts of trade refrain
To honor those who would not yield,
But gave their lives battlefield.
Bring laurels white strew red roses round,
For heroes sleep beneath each mound,
While broken hearts and bitter tears
Have known the balm OF passing years
Yet the principles they cherished.
The loyalty for which they persisted,
Will live till history 10 hoary
And illumine song and story
With their glorious deeds of beauty
Men who were incarnate duty.
The wind a requiem brearhes today
From Northern pine to Southern bay
For those who wore Confederate gray;
While verdant spring halo paints
Around their forms like warrior saints
Peace. rest. are words most wondrous sweet.
Life'e warfare Ger, old soldiers meet
Where those who dared 70 fend the right
