PEACE IS HE'LL
TRxAs ECONOMIST DEFINES
PLACE AS SHERMAN De
FINED WAR.
Con stltutlon 10 Citizens Contract
With Government for Justice,
Liberty and Freedom.
BY j. s. Cuillnan.

Inc ADMINISTRATION OF Justice Is
the heart and soul OF government.
IL is there that the citizen comes in
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 inn
%portance, | a to say that no mat
ter what Sherman said about war, in
my opinion we are reaching Il point
where PEACE is HE'LL, and | be-
lieve that most of the active and re-
sp0nsible members OF society in this
country will Join me In this conclu-
sion. When government reaches a
point where To enjoy liberty n
must become a tramp, and TO be free
one must seek the habitat OF a saw
age, then the citizen is justified In de-
manding a cancellation OF his con
tract with government.
1t is my conception OF our govern
ment that its mission Is TO increase
liberty and expand freedom, and 1t
is not only the privilege, but the
duty, of the citizens TO challenge any
act of government that interferes
with these ends. In the Constitution,
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, ! want
10 quote a clause from the Declare
ton of Independence, giving the citi-
zen the right to alter or abolish gov
eminent: I'VE hold these truths 10
be self-evldent hat all men are
created equal that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; hat 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 OF
sent OF the governed that whenever
any form of government becomes de-
structive of these ends, II Is the right
of the people to alter or abolish IL,
and to institute new government. lay
ing its foundation on such principles
and organizing Its powers in such
form as TO them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and hap
sion of the rights of a citizen, the
Declaration OF Independence states /:
1T is their right, Ii is their duty TO
throw off such government and to
provide new guards for the future Sc
curity." l would neither abolish nor
alter our form of government, but l
would use Ii. /, for one, claim my
Constitutional rights as a citizen TO
liberty and freedom. and TO the ex-
tent of my ability | propose to defend
Ii. 1t is not a better form of govern
ment We need, but better citizenship,
and "A more efficient Administration
OF Justice.

LEGISLATIVE UNREST

This is an age OF unrest. All Is
confusion. chaos and change. We
are pulling al the very corner-stones
OF government and seeking more and
more to limit the rights OF the peo-
pie by law. Where do all the hyster-
ical issues originate? Certainly not
on the farm, the factory or behind
the counter. Ii is not the busy, en-
terprising, thoughtful citizenship that
suggested these changes. Ii is the
idle, the selfish and the hysterical.
The jeers of the political agltator,
the SCOTS of the political preacher
and the sneers OF The political law
yer have crazed the public mind. This
triple alliance of evil influences has
sent ii wave of fright down the spinal
ness men in many instances have
been cut loose from their safe moor
ing and set adrIft Ia the sea OF un-
certainty and doubt. The ballot has
been cast with an unsteady hand and
an uncertain mind, but the time for
sober second thought has arrived and
every good citizen with calm, dispas-
sionate judgment should carefully
count the cost. What Is gained by
all this change? VIII II start an
other pillow, build another factory,
open another mine or put another
vessel afioat or the seaf VIII 1t in
crease the price OF products, decrease
the cost of living or lower the taxesf
People, like animals, have leaders
and. like them, they should be able
To select capable leaders for reason
ought to be more able than Instinct.
Who are the leaders In public life in
your state today and on what claim
do they base their title to such an
honor? Government Is a great big
business and must he run on business
principles. Only those who are ca
pable of graphing with the problems
of administering justice, taxation.
markets and production and who can
grasp the forces Of progress are en-
titled TO leadership. Ii Is an easy
matter To lead the populace 10 "A fire,
but quite another TO lead them TO the
field and factory. 1t is easy To re-
strain, but quite another thing to put
In motion. Ii is easy TO destroy. but
quite another to build. This country
needs men OF action, horse sense
and business ability at the helm In
government behind sound. sensible
issues that give business results. Take
"A business inventory. Lay down
against every measure the yard stick
OF results and with courage and wis
dom cast out error. Measure every
man who seeks TO give public eoun-
sci by the tape-line of business ability.
The greatest peril Of any govern
ment Is unsafe leaders. Nations fol
low their leaders To success or fall
ure. War may have It's heroes reli-
gion Its martyrs and politics Its pa
triots, but IL takes business sense 10
run government and those who have
had no business training or expert
ence are incapable of safe leadership.
The farmers and business men must
take hold of the reins OF government
and put forward issues and men that
promote the prosperity Of the oun
try. and do Ii now.-Peter Radford. :

1t Is a sad day for Christianity
when the church bells call the com

prayer meeting. Such gatherings mark
the high tide Of religious political IA

We have been going through q
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 Administrator
of Justice. Ii Is not The will of the
people, but they have suffered 1t to
obtain through indifference to the
public welfare. 1t is the unauthor-
lied acts of servants of government
who yield to undue partisan, business,
financial, religious. fraternal. edu-
thar safeguard liberty and justice as
demanded by the Declaration of In
dependence and guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United States.
To those who may feel that there
is safety In Indifference, and who
place blind confidence in our system
of government, l want TO quote a
paragraph from a statement recently
made by Hon. Thos. X. 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. II
cannot be said that IL is the system
of government which Is wrong. 1t Is
the unjust use of the system. 1t 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 it is for them to define the
rights Of persons and of property.
This government is ours-yours and
mine-and we have no right to farm
1t out. II we are not willing to dis
charge our responsibilities as sover-
eigns. then we should change our
system Of government and employ u
king to run The country. ]
