MEEKINS FOR
GOLDEN rule
continued from first pagel

souls has become the greatest ma
tional power and is still moving for
ward in giant strides.
Glorious war does not exist
declared Judge Meekins. There
fore, let us dishonor war. In
the future, we must be led by brain.
by men OF genius and not militarism.
Plutocracy and militarism go hand
In hand Let those who will shout
coward but true Americanism can
not be bought that way. For my
part, l stand for the golden rule.
When this rule Is fully realized, there
will be no more bloodshed and the
spirit of the brotherhood Of man
will prevail.
"As for America, the estrangement
Of the North and the South has been
forgotten in 1917 II has passed
like an unpleasant dream never to
return. Sectional feeling has been
eNtinguished forever. I. being from
the South, am an American from the
ground up and cannot immagine a
greater love for either North and
South any more than a good hus-
band can imagine greater love for
the left than for the right side of
his wife. I do not believe in loving
my country on the installment plan" ,"
a number OF excellent historical
tableauX were given. These includ-
ed such scenes as "The Making OF
the Flag" presented by the Madison
Playground Association; peter Min
uets Treaty With the Delaware In
dian" by the Inter-Neighbor hood
Association; Caesar Rodney" By

Reading Of the Declaration Of Inde-
endence."
