Government Protects Self.

1.-TWO things are necessary to prose
cute this war, men and money. And
back of these there must be spirit. The
government has the power to get
these elements. The government has
enacted certain laws on human con-
duct for this war, and the government
is going to protect itself. If these
laws are not strong enough now they
will be made so. These laws are not
necessary for 95 per cent Of the people
who are willing to sacrifice to the end
for the victory which must come.
They are for the small percentage of
those who will not bow to authority.
They are for those few who will not
realize that this government. and all
governments which are real republics
are made up Of majorities, They are
made for the small per cent who
would set up judgment against the
government 1t is the intention Of the
government to punish those men who
will not do what war demands that
we all must do.

Some other Charges.

In his preliminary charge Judge
Wade reviewed the jury system OF
this country, and spoke Of the fact
that it was the only secret body in
our governmental organization. This
was just one illustration, he said OF
the care the founders Of the govern
ment were taking to preserve the
government of the people No court
can deprive a man Of his liberty. The
punishment can not be melted out un
til after the case has been considered
by jury of his peers.
The court told the reasons for Sc
crecy and emphasized to the jurors
that secrecy must be maintained OF
their deliberations, unless called up
on by the court to divulge something
relating to a perjury charge. He then
reviewed the three branches OF gov.
eminent, and showed how they were
related, and how the laws Of the land
were enacted. Laws over which the
United States has Jurisdiction he
briefly reviewed, and pointed out some
of the more frequently violated ones

Bar Supports Him.

Following Judge Wade's charge to
the jury, which was listened to with
the most intense interest on the part
Of the attorneys and spectators, a
meeting of the bar was held, with
lawyers from the district present. J.
j. Seerley Of Burlington presided and
two committees were appointed to Sc
cure publication in full of Judge
Wade's charge to the jury. The court
was unable today to dictate his charge
in full, but will do so tonight, and 1t
will be published in full tomorrow.
An attempt is being made to secure
the publication of the charge in the
legal journals. The attorneys are
endorsing the courts
sentiments, and have gone on record
as SO doing.

Hay is pretty good around here, also
the corn. The last weeks we had fine
hay weather. But now 1t is too wet.
Yesterday the lightning struck a big
barn on the Sunny Brook Farm near
st. Donatus. From here 1t spread to
another barn and both burnt down to
the ground. consuming with 1t three
valuable teams Of horses. Both barns
were filed with hay. 1t happened
while the owners were at church. When
they came out Of church, they saw the
flames and hurried to the scene. Many
others also went to their assistance.
Greetings to all the nephews and
nieces, from-Wm. Frank.

IN later life.--That fire must certainly
have caused some excitement in the
neighborhood. - Call again. - Der
