MUST GO BACK
TO THE FARMS

Thousands Of men attracted to the
cities by the high factory wages dur
ing the boom period have returned to
the farming communities, and thou
sands more are preparing to return,
according to H. H. Franklin, president
Of the Franklin Automobile Company,
who saws that it is idle to expect
return to factory boom times.
There were great and worldwide
for the boom, which no longer
exist. While factory employment is
now at its lowest point and will likely
increase, 1t must be realized that a
reasonable normal will be consider
ably under 1919 and 1920 standard.
The back-to-the-farm movement is,
therefore, not only wise, but neces-
sary. The world may or may not owe

GIVING BAD ADVICE

"A LAW does not become law until it is proved
to be constitutional Therefore | say to you
when law passed that YOU feel is not constitu-
tlonal YOU justified in refusing to obey that
law"
No more untruthful or vicious philosophy was
ever enunciated than that quoted above Nothing
could be farther from the truth. The fact that the
statement was made by man who had an oppor-
tuny to advise American citizens makes the state
ment all the more hideous in its stark anarchy.
An Oklahoma lawyer, speaking to who were
seeking truth gave this bit of advice quoted at
Harshorne last night. This man has committed
moral crime against the citizenship of the nation He
has betrayed innocent men with bad advice
1t is entirely possible that good men, who want
ITO be law abiding, may go to Jail for listening to
and accepting this bolshevistc doctrine that the in
dvidual has judiciary power. A law once on the
statute books OF the land must be observed until the
courts hold it NOT constitutional Test cases may
be filed. The presumption however, is that every
American citizen will observe every law passed by
his representatives, chosen by majority vote. until
abe courts have declared it unconstitutional
There are many now who subscribe to this
vicious belief. This is anarchy in the raw. 1t sets
the individual above the majority 1t makes Of
every the final Judge OF his own conduct 1t is
the antithesis OF the fundamental concepts Of con-
etitutional form OF government.
There can be wonder that lawlessness stalks
the land. No man be amazed at the conduct OF
ignorant who DEFY law and rant against Amer
institutions. When men who are in position to
advise other men, less informed than they talk such
ill Judged and anarchistic doctrines order and good
government not possible.
The Ardmorete without animus points out that
this one statement should form the basis of charges
looking TO disbarment OF any attorney who utters it.
It is out OF keeping with the teachings of the
law. 1t shows an absolute ignorance OF the law or
tlagrant and anarchisc disregard for what consttu
tional government implies
We might plead an eXenuating circumstance
that this speaker spoke without preparation. This
would only make matters worse. Men who speak
injudiciousy and with i'll tempered words in hasty
fashion are more dangerous than the men who study
their damnable doctrines carefully
