ferred to the fact of the great damage
done to the road along the Rudy and
Carly farms.
do not wonder at this; neither do
I wish to give any adverse criticism
but to help il l can. 1t is always easy
to see an effect, but sometimes hard
to find the cause. l think if the road
overseer will commence at a point
somewhere west of Mr.. Carty's farm
and clear out and straighten the creek
down to almost the northeast corner
of Mr.. Rudy's farm, he will have the
water so nearly under control that
the damage done h~earafter will be
small. The water a easily be made
to keep channel near the bluff.
Just a few more words and l am
done. l have waited patiently for the
second article which Mr.. Scoggin
promised us on creamery and dairy
business. If this article passes the
editorial censorship l will answer Mr..
Scoggin's, and also tell the farmers of
this community how to get rich.

IF Congress gives way to the de-
mands of the interested patriots howl
ing for Preparedness it will swamp
the Democratic party in the coming
election. There is time between now
and November for the people to be-
come thoroughly informed Of the
moving spirit of the projectors of
militarism: to be convinced that it is
not patriotism, but selfish and IN
American, and born of greed for
"honorn and emolument. If the two
thousand millions spent in the last
ten years by the United States for the
army and navy has not resulted in
giving us preparedness, what in the
name of reason is to mark the limit
of expenditure for safety against
imaginary foes? To-day nine out
of ten of the common p~eople"--the
bill-footers not the ax-eaters-are
opposed to the Preparedness pro-
gram; by November they will
unanimously bury it ocean deep.
Paste this in your hats, men and
brethren!

THE widespread tendency to-day
to compel people to be moral by force
of law, with the consequent multiple
cation of legal enactments designed
to regulate the conduct of men, pro-
vokes the following rebuke from
Judge Cullen, late chief-justice of the
Court of Appeals of New York: Gin
my YOUTH" says the Judge, CELEBRITY
seemed to be the right of the citizen
to act and live as he thought best, so
long as his conduct did not invade a
like right on the part of others. To-
day, according to the notion of many
people, liberty is the rightof part of the
people to compel the other part to do
what the first part thinks the latter
ought to do for it's own benefit.
In this State New York; we
now have over two hundred felonies
and over double that number of mis-
demeanors. No trade or calling seems
80 limited, no society or association so
Insignificant, the advocates of no hob
by or nostrum SO few or SO wanting
in influence as to be denied the privi-
lege of having a new misdemeanor
created. Misdemeanors have become
30 common that there is speculation
among the curious as to how many
the average decent citizen will ordin-
arily commit in a day."
