The constitution gives to congress
the right to levy taxes and to borrow
money, and congress is doing both.
The president and congress were
elected by the people and are response
bic to the people; they speak for the
people-people have no other spokes-
men. Acquiescence in the will of the
people, expressed through their au-
thorized representatives, is "the first
law of republics" There is no a~lterna-
tive but anarchy. BEFORE the gov

CHILDREN'S PARTY.


Miss Mary Moore, president of the
Civic League, gave a most enjoyable
party at the play ground for the chill
dren Wednesday afternoon. A vari-
ETY. Of picnic contests, such as a bag
race, potato tote, peanut contest, and
hundred yard dash were entered into
with great sport.
The larger children were also given
a lesson in the game of volley ball, by
Prof. McLaurine. This game is said
to be one Of splendid chest develop
ment and we are especially interested
in having every child have a try at it.
For this most interesting party an
admission of ten cents was charged,
which also allowed each child a cup of
lemonade. The proceeds amounted to
about $3.50, which viii be used as
payment on some of the playground
equipment.
A most substantial addition to the
play ground is a collection of rustic
seats. We thank Mr.. Haywood for a
donation of bark lumber to make them
of.
