Foreign Subjects In United States.

A foreign government has the right
in case of war to coil upon It's citizens
or subjects residing in this country, but
not upon those who have become citi-
zens of the country. Foreign subjects
are not compelled (by the United
States governmert) to obey the call to
return.

Indifference the Cause.

: We have been going through a
period of contraction of our rights
until we have almost changed our
form of government, and the fault
lies in the incompetent application
of law and the faulty Administration
Of Justice. 1t is not the will Of the
people, but they have suffered II TO
obtain through indifference to the
public welfare. 1t is the unauthor-
ICED acts of servants of government
who yield to undue partisan, business,
financial, religious, fraternal, cjedu-
c%ational or class influence, rather
than safeguard liberty and Justice as
demanded by the Declaration Of In.
dependence and guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United States.
To these who may feel that there
is safety in indifference, and who
place blind confidence in our system
Of government, I want to quote a
paragraph from a statement recently
made by Hon. Thos. r. Marshall,
Vice President of the United States,
as follows: Equitable enforcement
Of the law can never be made to rest
upon the Office holders Of the land.
1t must rest upon the individual. 1t
cannot be said that 1t is the system
of government which Is wrong. II is
the unjust use of the system. II has
not been the use, but the misuse of
the powers of government which has
produced this discomfort in the minds
of men," ..'
The citizens are the Joint stock
holders and owners in government,
and Ii is for them to- define the
rights OF persons and of property.
This governments;i is ours-yours and
mine-and we havegno right to farm
10 out. II We mes Hot willing to dis
charge u responsibilities as soyer-
eigns, then we should change our
system o. government and employ a
king to run the country. !

Constitution 10 Citizens Contract
with Government for Justice,
Liberty and Freedom.
BY J.. s. CuIHnan.

Inc Administration or justice Is
the heart and soul of government.
II Is there that the citizen comes in
contact with his government and
hears an Interpretation of the Bill
of Rights and the Constitution Of the
United States. which Is the citizens
contract with government for life.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
To those who may feel that this
subject is not one Of pressing i'm
portance, / want to say that no mat!
ter what Sherman said about war, In
my opinion we are reaching a point
where PEACE is HE'LL, and I be-
lieve that most Of the active and re-
spcnsibie members of society In this
country will join me in this conclu-
sion. When government reaches a
point where to enjoy liberty one
must become a tramp, and to be free
one must seek the habitat of a say
age, then the citizen is justified In de-
handing a cancellation of his cor.
tract with government. :.
1t is my conception Of our govern
ment that its mission is to increase
liberty and expand freedom, and it
is not only the privilege, but the
duty, Of the citizens to challenge any
act of government that interferes
NTH. +hasasandss t.. <bo Cons+it,tioo
the citizen has a written agreement
with government for liberty, freedom
and JUSTICE and he is sole authority
on what constitutes liberty, freedom
and justice; our government con-
tracts to preserve, safeguard and ad,
minister them. #
In order that every citizen may
feel perfectly within his rights in
entering into this discussion, 1 want
to quote a clause from the Declare.
ton Of Independence, giving the clti-
zen the right to alter or abolish. gov.
eminent: 1--WE hold these truths to
be self-evident; that all men are
created equal; that they r endowed
by their Creator with certain inalien.
able rights; that among these are
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
That to- secure these rights, govern.
ments are instituted among men; de-
irving their just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed; that Whenever
any form of government becomes de-
structive Of these ends, 1t is the right
Of the people to alter or abolish 1t,
and to institute new government, lay
ing tits foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such
form as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and hap
piness." And continuing the discus
sion Of the rights of a citizen, the
Declaration of independence states:
1T is their right, 1T: is their duty to
throw off such government and to
provide new guards for the future Sc
curity." I would neither abolish nor
alter u form of government, but /
would use it. /; for one, claim my
Constitutional rights as a citizen to
liberty and freedom, and to the ex.
tent of my ability I propose to defend
it. 1t is not a better form of govern
ment we need, but better citizenship,
and a more deficient Administration

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec.
ord Of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: what would
you have doner They forget that it
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead OF crying
"What would you have done" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits ye shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
Offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con.
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use Of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not fiatterer, ne
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak. when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to de
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him:
"What would you dot" they are un-
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes: They
are recalling to the memory or the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor of New
York. II was then that he first SAID
"public Office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
