if drug crazed fellow were COM
ing down the street. could you hold
him responsible for his acts, even
though the drug be self-adalinis-
tered? But the German people
have been forcibly drugged in the

other ways until all of their finer
sensibilities have been killed with
fiendish ingenuity and they have
been turned into crazy, lighting
maniacs.
But they, too, will have their
eyes opened in time. and there viii
come an awful day of reckoning.
Eyes, we are fighting them today.
but our fight is after all simply a
very serious surgical operation
that must be performed on the Ger
man body polite. The surgeon,
amputating your crushed and
manned member may have to do it
under conditions giving you infinite
pain and misery. But he is doing
it for your ultimate good.
"And so we have to infiict pain
in our fight-not so much against a
deluded people-as against a gov
eminent of junkertum. of frightful-
ness. of arrogance: 1t is our aim.

force their will; if they do, they
are acting revolutionary and it is
then the right of the sovereign to
apply the principles of an absolute
monarchy and do as he thinks
right There you are, make the
best of it.
Now we come to the army. The
army stands outside of and above
ali legislation and in>time of war at
least, the general staff, controlled
by the king, is the real ruling
power.
ut is the kings army, not the
cOuntry's, or the peoples. Its I'M
questioned patriotism that is lead
ing it into untold sacrifices and
heroic acts of valor, is not in any
sense the patriotism that takes our
young to France under our flag, no
il is rather the feaIty felt by the
savage warrior for his chief. Re
member the motto 'Mitt Colt fuer
koenig und faterland.' With God
for king and fatherland.' Note the
relative position of the words for
king and fatherland.' The king
first, and incidentally the father
land, for it belongs to the king.
Is Religious War.
This war, gentlemen, is not, as
1 have often heard, an economic
war. If anything, it is a religious
war. The German government pro-
claims one God, the God of blood
and iron. We worship another God,
the God of gentleness and peace.
Here you have the lion and lamb.
One must perish, only one may sur
vive the struggle. 1t is up to you
and me to say which it shall be.
This is not a war of revenge
against the German people. 1t is
war for the German people that
we might Hberate them and that in
doing so we might keep free this
| ladn of our children.
But wait, you say; how about
these frightful atrocities of which
we have heard so much; how can
you reconcile that with the picture
of the patient people you have been
drawing?
Now, 1 have heard and read
these awful stories. No doubt,
many are not true at all and many
exaggerated. Nevertheless, enough
is unquestionably true to make the
picture most hideous one. Men,

originator of EATONIC Tablets, to
induce a widespread use of this
modern stomach relief. To my mind
the big, important step is the trial
test; for my experience proves that
the very first box of EATONIC Tab

that indigestion, dyspepsia, heart

essary, even after the heaviest meals.
Therefore, I make this guaranteed
offer: BuT a large SOC box OF
EATONIC Tablets from any drug

simple directions. If you are not
fully convinced that EATONIC is,
indeed. the marvellous digestive aid
that thousands claim for it, Just send
me the empty carton-addressed,

ise system you ever heard Oh.
Funny. ii 1t were not tragic
Germany, for voting purposes,
was divided in 1871 into electoral
districts with one member for every
1000. 900 of population.
But populations shift. The poor
move into the city where they can
find work to do. The rich land
owners, the junkers of whom you
hear SO much, remain on their large
estates and the result is that today
one Berlin deputy will represent
10, 900 people whereas the rural
junker representative represents
about $4,000 people.
These deputies, so unequally
elected, are then supposedly a
branch of the legislature. The only
trouble is they cannot legislate at
all for whenever their conduct is
displeasing to the crown, the crown
can dissolve it and call for new
election Very simple.
Vote by Glasses.
And here is the curious way in
which the people vote. First, they
are divided into three distinct
classes according to their wealth.
Each class votes by itself. But they
do not vote direct, but only vote for
delegates to the convention where
the actual voting takes place and
where a two-thirds vote is required
to elect. OF course, that gives the
preponderance of power to the two
better to do classes, though it
throws the real balance of power to
the middle class who may vote eth
er way
That seems reasonably fair. But
wait and see how it works and what
means the government employs to
swing this vote and to control it.
If you examine the election return
of 1910 you will find that the Social
Democrats actually cast a majority
of the votes, but for all of that
succeeded in getting only seven out
of the 397 elective members. Fine.
But here comes the browning in
fanny of the whole system. There
is no secret ballot. In fact you
vote by word of mouth. Can you fig
ure out what that must mean to
the voters? Indeed, it is a notOri-
Gus fact that many of the poor peO-
pie do not bother themselves at alt
to vote under that farcial system.
The same system exists largely
in all state election and you can
see how the people are bound hand
and foot
But, you say, if that be so, why
do the people stand it. Surely they
must see the iniquity of it all. Why
do they not rise in their might and
amend that damnable constitution.
Why not? l will tell you Because
to begin with you cannot amend
the constitution of any state with
out the consent of its prince and
you cannot amend the constitution
of empire without the consent of
the bundesrat, and as l have shown
you, the bundesrat is the princes
And there you are.
Still there must be some intel
lectual system by which the gov
eminent justif1es such procedure
and makes it acceptable to the peo-
pie. There is. Listen, my friends.
for here is verbatim the accepted
teaching of political philosophy as
it has ben crammed down the peo-
pies throats:
Government is in the power of
the prince; the granting of consti-
tutlonS did never mean the recog-
milton of popular sovereignty; leg
islatures are not representatives of
the people but administrative Or
gans of the state; they have no
right to bring the state to stand
still by Withholding budgets to en-

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re.
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel, but to let DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

I, H. l.. Kramer, am the man who
gave Cascarets to the world. | now
make public announcement of my
latest success, EATONIC Tablets, for
the benefit of the millions who are
suffering from Indigestion, dyepep-
sia and stomach ills, unaware that a
great modern remedy has been dis
covered to prevent them.
The knowledge of what EATONIC
is doing will be good news to a great
many people-probably ten out of
every dozen-Who suffer needlessly
from stomach weakness in some
form. By using EATONIC Tablets
regularly after meals, they can now
find easy escape from their troubles.
Druggists all over the country say
that EATONIC is proving even a
greater success than my first great
remedy. Results in thousands of
cases prove that dyspepsia, ind
gestion, heartburn, sour stomach,
painful bloat, nausea, fullness after
meals, belching of gas, etc, quickly
disappear with the use of EATONIC
Tablets after meals.
The peculiar virtue of EATONIC is
in its remarkable power to almost in
stantlyneutralizet the excess acids that
cause gases to collect in the stomach
and disorder the digestive processes.
BY thus renewing the cause of stom-
ach trouble, the painful, disagreeable
effects naturally disappear.
My own confidence In EATONIC
Tablets is without limit. l am go
absolutely convinced of their marvel
ous power that | do not hesitate TO
urge trial by every man or woman
who experiences the distressing,
painful and frequently dangerous
effects Of bad stomach.

this present Germany was never
formed by its people but by -
princes who declared the king or
Prussia to be the emperor OF Ger
many.
This emperor now rules. sup
posedly through the two branches
OF the legislature, the bundesrat or
federal council, and the reichstag.
Not one of the remaining kings or
princes has the power to declare
war. That is the exclusive prerog.
alive of the king of Prussia In his
capacity of emperor.
According to the constitution he
must have the consent OF the bund-
esrat. But when you examine this
very constitution you will discover
that its makers were quite as adept
in slipping in little jokers as our
American politicians. For you VIII
find that this consent is only needed
to wage an offensive war. But
when it comes TO defensive war
the emperor stands alone in b {
might and needs not consult ar
human being on earth.
Now, gentlemen, do you not see
why so much stress is being laid on
making it appear that the Franco
Prussian war was started by
France, and that the present war
was instigated by Russia and Eng
land? For mind you, this bundles
rat, whose consent would have been
required for an offensive war. was
not officially apprised of the dec
laration of war Until three days
after it was actually declared. And
since the present German consti-
tuition is based on the old Prus-
sian constitution, you have only to
read German made history to con-
vince yourselves that Germany new
er in its history has fought an Of
fensive war. Why, of course not.
Emperor Heads Everything.
THE emperor is in charge of ev-
cry single branch of the govern
ment. In discharging these ofnces
he is assisted by the imperial chan
cellor, whom he appoints. The
chancellor in his turn appoints the
various secretaries of state, and
they go on appointing and appoint
ing till you come down to the very
lowest official. Now mind, they
are appointed all the way from the
top down, each one responsible only
to the immediate power over him,
until we finally get back to the en-
peror again. It's a beautiful sys-
TEN for those who invented it.
THE laws of the land are sup
posedly made by the two branches
of the legislature. But are they?
Not much For listen. You read a
great deal of the debates in the
reichstag; you never hear of the
bundesrat. And there is a reason.
The bundesrat represents the
states; that is, it represents the
rulers of these states by whom the
members are appointed. It meets
only in secret sessions and is real
ly a meeting of the rulers through
their accredited representatives
who are after all simply princely
diplomats working for their princes.
The consent of this bundesrat is
required for all proposed legisla-
ton. Its veto power is absolute
and it thus forms the most formid-
able support of the monarchy.
The reichstag can talk and blow
of steam but it has no control over
the executive. 1t can pass a vote
of censure against the chancellor
and he will laugh at them as long
as his conduct of affairs is pleasing
to his imperial master.
THE reichstag is elected by pop
ular franchise But how? Let me
explain. 1t is the funniest franch-

Gentlemen, this thing is not so
mind you, no matter what has been
said and written. we are not in any
sense fighting against Germany, but
we are waging war for Germany
against its own oppressors.
If my old mother has been
brought into her grave by the brut-

and against whom should my re

Il said before that part OF the
seeming disloyalty OF my people
here is due to ignorance. To under
stand the present situation one
must have at least a superficial
knowledge Of German history and
the German body polite. What is
then this Germany against which
We are arrayed ?"
The speaker gave an outline OF
the events which led to the con-
solidation of the German states and
led up to the Franco-Prussian war
in 1870-71. Then he continued:
Where Historians Falsified.
"NOw read your history. No mat
ter whether it was written here or
in Germany, it will tell you that
France started the conflict. That
his. if your history was written prior
to about y years ago. This has
now been proven a lie. Technically
France did make the declaration of
war But it was jockeyed into its
position by forged kilograms on the
part of Prince Bismark over the
question of the accession to the
Spanish throne France lost the
war for which Prussia had prepared
and paid it's war indemnity to Ger
many of five billion francs. The
federated states of Germany pro-
claimed the king Of Prussia emper-
or Of Germany. This was the thing
that Bismark had aimed at.
He now took a leading part in
framing the new German cOnstitu-
ton AND so shrewdly did he draw
it, that it made all other states vir-
tuaIly vassal states to Prussia. This
in turn still more embittered the
poop of the other states and still
more intensified their hatred for all
things Prussian.
But, you will ask, If these things
are so, why do the people stand
them; why do they not rise in their
might and amend this offensive
constitution?

this you must know what the Ger
