Things You Can't Do.

The crudest form OF civilization is that of anar-
chy-every man for himself, with no regard for the
interests OF the community. The simplest form of
government is that of the despot whose word is
law and who carries. out his will regardless of the
wishes of the people.
Government for the people, and by the people
IS the most complex in its nature because not only
must the interests of the individual be considered
but the interests of the entire community 1t
naturally follows that the larger the number of
people concerned, the more difficult becomes the
administration of law which shall be just and fair
to all
1t is much easier for six men to live together
in harmony than it is for 600 men to live in peace
As the number of people in the community in
ereases, and as the number of interests to he con-
sidered grows larger, the greater must become the
restrictions which shall be placed upon each indi-
yidual so that while under ordinary circumstances
it might be possible for a man to exercise his
freedom as much as he chooses there always arises
Circumstances under which man is compelled to
forego certain privileges because the exercise of
these might work an injury to his neighbors.
Thus a99rdng to Law. an individual man may

But you," she said, "you are an artist You
Deplore this tearing down of all our dreams
You know that War is shattering the world,
And Beauty falls in ashes at feet"
He looked at her, full-blown and glorious
With flaming eyes and tossed, abundant hair.
How I abhor this hourl" he softly said
Il never thought the world could come to this.
Yet always through the years, the flame of War;
Like long crimson serpent, has erept and
crept,
And poisoned all the beauty that we built
The Parthenon was stricken by the blast
OF cruel cannon in disastrous days;
Yet in the moonlight it is wonderful
In strange way the mind can never name.
And strong barbarian hordes tore down that
dream,
The Colosseum; and manly Romans wept
Yet it is 1oveler on soft, Summer nights
Than ever it must have been in the young years.
And Rheims-it shall be doubly beautiful
With a new meaning through the centuries,
flushed with its memories of this dark hour"
Her face grew grave. "You dare to tell me

that Swiss rights only be insured preservation
by the cession of Alsace to France, which would

Just a Suggestion.

Some of the horrors of follow long after
them. The return to peaceful society of millions
of MANNED mentally ratified men, after a war,
has been, hitherto, full of calamity and wrong But
it is to be different, after this war, because eiviiza
ton is taking another step forward Instead Of
being treated good for only some political job,
the returning soldier, MANNED blind or whole. is
to find a great national effort devoted to finding
him a place and fitting him into it. We not
going to humiliate him by making him dependent
upon political soft snap, pension, but are
going to give him chance to his way like
the rest of US.
We advance this much, in a general way, on
this well-known subject, simply to introduce the
suggestion that when our returned heroes get to
producing things in the shops and factories, such
products be marked Made by Veterans" This
ought to be a recommendation that would take
with all buyers. Why not, in every instance con-
formabe with the truth, have manufactures mark
ed Made by Veterans?"

without overcoats. And they were
soft, having been walters, clerks, and

tired and hungary. Were they cursing
and grumbling? No. They came in
singing:
'Good-by, Lenixo Avenue; Hello,

to the angry night, to the hard life
before them, and TO the possible
death that awaited them! That's the

SAVE PAPER AND RAGS.

Save your waste paper and your
