Things You Can't Do

The crudest form of civilization is that of anarchy-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.
The government that is of the people, 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 men.
IT is much easier for six men to live together in harmony than it
immunity increases, and IS the number of interests to be considered
grows larger, the greater must become the restrictions which shall be
placed upon each individual; so that while under ordinary crcum.
stances it might be possible for a man to exercise his freedom as much
as he chooses, there always arises circumstances under which a man
is compelled to fOrego certain privileges because the exercise of these
might work an injury to his n~eighbors.
Thus, according to law, a individual man may not do as he
pleases even with his own property. For instance, he may not burn
down his own house, because the burning of that property may set
fire to the property of his next-door ~neighbor. In certain states, a
leved will work injury to certain classes of citizens, particularly to
young boys in the community. The law provided that a man may not
spend his money as he chooses until after he has made provision for
his family. And a man may not do with his own children as he
pleases. He must send them to school in order to acquire the educa-
ton which our p~resent-day civilization demands of all citizens.
Whenever an institution, a custom or a business enterprise be
comes a menace to society, the law provides that i. shall be discOn-
tinued, or s rgidly enforced that its chances for doing harm will
be reduced to the minimum.
And the public has a perfect right to determine as to whether or
not an institution shall be permitted to operate without any restric-
ton, or whether it shall be compelled to pay a Gcense-which, by the
is in the nature of a restriction or penalty-Or whether it shall
wiped out altogether, even though the interests of the compare
y few people concerned may suffer. The chief constellation is
community or the state.

Can't Frighten Us

In the early days of the war the Hun machine drove itself against
British colonials in the hope of destroying the morale of the men at
the front and the population at home.
--IAeGar Hun drives against the Canadians and Australians
were conceived and carried out with all the frightfulness Hun inge
nuity could invent. Gas attacks were first directed against Cana
dams; of the early Australian and Canadian units sent to the front
only a small proportion remained after the offensive of 1915.
The results, however, were retroactive. Instead of destroying
the colonial morale and causing the eolonials to quit the struggle, it
Epured them to greater efforts and resulted in greatly augmented
armies being sent to the front.
Now the Hun is trying these methods on American troops. The
most tyrifc bombardment Of the war occurred at Vaux, where Aner-
lean troops are stationed. Hun troops are fed up with lies about
what will happen to them if they are captured by Americans, as an
incentive for them to take no prisoners" Americans at home must
expect enormous casualty lists from this offensive.
And the Hun is due to find that the effect on America will be the
same as it was on the British colonies. He will find that America will
not be terrorized by frghtfulness, and that the American effort of
1918 will react against him as the colonial effort did three years ago

Today We Celebrate
The Foast of Sc. Anne

NJ 49, A1AA
Today will be observed by Catho-
lies the world over as the solemn
feast of st. Anne, the mother of the
Blessed Virgin, and thousands of
sick, lame and other afflicted will
seek relief al the various shrines
where are displayed sacred relics of
the mother of the Mother of Mercies.
The pilgrimages to the more import
ant places of healing attract people
from all over Europe and occupy
many days. Europe has several noted
shrines. while on this continent the
most famous Is the Church of st.
Anne de Beaupre, near Quebec.
Other places of pious pilgrimage in
America include the Church of st.
Jean Baptist, in New York: st.
Anne's, Port Richmond. near Phila-
delphia; st. Anne's Church In a
Francisco; st. Anne's church in Chi
cogo; the shrine of st. Anne, ILL.,, and
st. Anne, Manitoba, as well as many
others. Most of these places possess
particles of the bones of st. Anne,
and annually. on the feast day of the
saint. the relic is brought forth that
those who are Ill may look. embrace,
and go forth with greater faith in the
divine power to relieve human suf-
fering.
Millions of miraculous cures have
been reported at these shrines. al
though on this continent the great
est reputation for effecting cures is
enjoyed by the Shrine of Ste. Anne
de Beaupre, in Quebec. The specta-
Gle to be witnessed there OF multi
tudes 1ocking to the famous church
to seek the intercession of the good
saint is pathetic and touching, and
it is a fact that enough compelling
faith is engendered in thousands Of
pathetically warped bodies to permit
them to drag themselves to the altar
and to go away with the certainty
that the mother of the Virgin has

crutches left behind by the paralytlc

HoHering Enough

1--WE regard this war as senseless and purpOseless bloodshed
which might at any moment be ended by the reemergence of feel
tngs of humanity in our enemies" says Baron Burian, Austro Hun
garian foreign minister.
Yes, Baron, We understand your feelings. We have met you be-
fore. oh, long ago we met you, in the days of our boyhood. You
were the town bully, big for your age, rough Of speech, and with a
wad of eatin' tobacker in your cheek. Your greatest delight was in
picking fights with smaller boys and jeering at them in their bloody
nosedness. But one day you set upon a slim red-headed kid, who
wasnt a particle afraid to carry the fight to you and very soon you
realized that you were in for a sure enough licking. ''Say, kid, Z" said
you, what we fghtin' for anyhowf You know / always liked YOU
Let's be friends"
'tf you can't holer 'Noughr any palmer than that, - retorted
he redhesded kid, you got to take your hckin'.'
Baron, your diplomatic language is readily understandable, but
Ut won't do. If you cannot "Holer 'noughl 10 any palmer than that

Agtrologers read this as an unim-
portant day. The Sun and Neptune
are slightly adverse.
Under this con1guration there may
be a sense OF lethargy and WEAKNESS.
For this reason a positive attitude OF
the mind should be cultivated.
1t is not an suspicious rule under
which to make plans or to act on
fthose already made.
While this confguration prevails 1t
is well to remain ~quiescent In all
matters of importance.
The mind is supposed TO be un-
usually alert under this rule, but it
is also likely to be sensitive to i'm
pressions that are sad or discourage
ing. For this eason 1t is the duty
of all to hid sadness and to be as
cheerful as possible.
When Neptune is adverse many
misapprehensions and misgivings are
likely to prevail. All occultists m
phasize the danger of pessimism or
criticism at this time.
There is indication of excitement in
regard to the sea. There may be some
sort of a naval battle, but nothing OF
great moment is indicated.
Great growth of the sort of patriot
ism capable of sacrifice is prophesied.
Women are warned to beware Of
personal ambitions n small rival
ries that may diminish their useful

Bismarck

1t has been a part of Hun propaganda in America to have Ger
man institutions and individuals perpetuated by naming cities and
streets for them.
The city of Bismarck, capital of North Dakota, is a notable ex.
ample.
Bismarck people, however, are not proud Of the name of their
city and are taking legal action to have the name changed to some
thing more appropriate.
But the way of law is long and Bismarck citizens are tired of
waiting, so they decided on a little direct action.
The result was that a big sign on the railroad station, bearing
the name Of the town, was torn down and this appropriate legend
substituted 'To hell with this ~blOekheaded Hun. What did he ever
DO for usf'
Not aesthetic perhaps, but concise and TO the point. and a pretty
