More Action, Less Theory.
Champ Clark and William Jennings
Bryan, are both p1uming their feath-
ers for a try at the democratic con-
vention in San Francisco. While not
a prophet or a. seer, we have a strong
conviction that neither of these old
timers will receive the democratic nom
ination, or in fact have much to do with
naming the democratic standard bearer.
The present age requires, in addition
to men of theories men of action as
well, and this combination is found
in its highest perfection in men Of the
present, rather than of the passing
generation.-Milton Gazette.

GOES BACK TO ROMAN LAW
writ OF Injunction Almost as Old as
the Institution of Trial
by Jury.

Use Of the Injunction is a feature
OF the law almost as old as the jnsti.
tuition Of trial by jury. It was first
used in 1882 when the king of Eng
land empowered the chancellor to issue
Writs restraining the barons from over
rldlng the common law courts. The
principle of injunction dates back fur
ther still to Roman law: 'It is clss-
sliled in the law as one of the 'ex-
traordinary Writs.' It's essential pur-
pose Is to prevent the doing of wrong
whose effects, if cOnsummated. would
De 1rreparable. In other words in
stead Of waiting for threatened
wrong to work its damage, which q
law court might redress by punishment
or the assessment of damages, the
equity court steps in with its 'extraor-
binary writ of injunction to prevent
the damage being done. It's twin is
mandamus, which commands perform
anee of certain rights and duties. while
the province of injunction is to forbid
performance of certain acts which
might interfere with rights or result
in wrongs"

FALSE STANDARD OF VALUES
World Too Much Given Up to Worship

cIares Writer.

Wherever we turn we find that pos
sessions are too often the standard by
which men are measured. A mans
income and position bulk much more
largely in the mind Of most than what
he is or what he does, ana a nation
wealth is still instiuctively spoken Of
> in terms of finance, or territorial pos
sessions, even by those whO on plat
FERNS, glibly say ''t1'ue wealth con-
sists in healthy and ,contented peo-
pie"
1t is this false and pernicious view
which is responsible for much of the
evil at the present day. The little
child who learns to pray by it's moth
'er's knee when 1t rises is urged q. oget
on In the world;" to- make money, to
achieve fame. No hngm in this, some
may say. Man cannot serve two mas
ters, and if we examine closely we
shall find that it's just this effort for
each to do the best possible for him
Or herself that is responsible for the
evil in the world.
The great need Of the world is that
we shall change the values. There is
only one thing Of supreme value. and
that is humanity. This makes the nil
llonaire and the homeless tramp equal. |
When the world has learned the les
son that man does not live by bread
alone, then will be laid the foundation
upon which a regenerated world can
be built.
