BY REV. d. J. QUILLAN

1t is easy to exaggerate the value OF
all political institutions; for they are
generally on the surface OF human
life and do not reach down to the deep
undercurrents of human nature. But
the law can do something to protect
the soul of man from destruction by
the soulless machine.
1t can defend the spirit of individ-
ualism. 1t must champion the human
soul in its God-given right to exercise
freely the faculties of mind and body.
The Constitution was framed in the
period that marked the passing OF the
primitive age and the dawn of the day
OF the machine. Watt had recently
discovered the potency 70 steam vapor
as a motive power; but its only 8 at
first was for pumping water out of the
mines. When the trainers of the Con-
stitution met in high convention in
Philadelphia In the summe Of 1877,
a Connecticut Yankee, John Fitch,
was then also working In Philadelphia
upon his steamboat; but twenty years
were to pass before the prov of the
Clermont was to part the waters Of
the Hudson, and nearly a half century
before transportation was to be rev.
oluticnized by the utilization OF Watts
invention of the locomotive. or the
wonders of the steamship, the rail-
road, the telegraphic cable, the wire
less, the gasoline engine, and a thous-
and other mechanical miracles, the
trainers Of the American Constitution
did not even dream
The greatest and noblest purpose OF
the Constitution was not alone to hold
in incest equipose the relative powers
of the Nation and the States. but also
to maintain in the scales OF justice q
true equilibrium between the rights OF
government and the rights OF the in
diyidual. II did not believe that the
state was omnipotent or infallibie. and
yet it proclaimed Its authority WITHIN
wise and just limits. It defended the
integrity of the human soul.
In other governments, these 1unda-
mental decencies OF liberty rest upon
the conscience OF the legislature. I'm
der the American Constitution, they
are part of the fundamental law, and,
as such, enforceable by judges sworn
to defend the integrity of the individ-
ul as fully as the integrity OF the
state.
When did a nobler vision" inspire
men In the political annals OF man
kind? without that vision to restrain
each succeeding generation OF Ameri-
cans from the tempting excesses OF
political power, the American Com
! monweaIth, with its great h~eterogene-
GUS democracy would probably perish.
That vision still remains as all ideal
with the American people and still
leads them 10 eyer-higher achieve
ments, for In all the mad changes o.
Z frenzied hour, they have not yet lost
faith in or love for the Constitution o.
the Fathers!

Take from man the opportunity OF
work n the sense of pride i'm
achievement and you have taken from
him the very life of his existence.
Robert Burns could sing as he drove
his plowshare through the fields of
Ayr. Today millions Who simply
watch an automatic infallible machine
which requires neither strength nor
skill, doS not sing at their work but
too many curse the fate, which has
chained them, like Ixion, to a soulless
machine.
The evil is even greater. The
specialization OF our modern mechan-
ical civilization has caused a sub
mergence of the individual nto the
group or class. Man is fast ceasing
to be the unit of human society. Self
governing groups are becoming the
new units. This is true OF all classes
OF men. the employer as well as the
employe.
Possibly, the greatest result Of the
mechanical age is this spirit of or
g%anizatiCn. Its merits are manifold
and do not require statement; but
they have blinded us 10 the demerits
OF excessive organization.
We are new beginning to see-slow-
ly, but s~urely-that a faculty of or
ganization which, as such, submerged
the spirit of individualism, is not
an unmixed good.
There are many palliatives for the
evils which | have discussed. To re-
kindle in men the love of work for
works sake and the spirit of discip-
line, which the lost sense of human
solidarity once inspired, would do
much to- solve the problem, for work
is the greatest moral force in the
world. But ! must frankly add that
| have neither the time nor the quail
fications to. discuss the solution of
this grave problem.
IL we Of this generation al only
recognize that the evil exists. then
the situation is not past remedy; for
man has never yet found himself I'm
a blind alley of negation.
He is still master of his soul and
captain Of his fate" and, to me, the
most encouraging sign Of the times is
the persistent evidence Of contempt
rary literature that thoughtful men
now recognize that much OF our boast
ed progress was as unreal rs O rain.
bow.
I have faith in the inextinguishable
spark OF the Divine, which is in the
human soul and which our complex
mechanical civilization has not ex-
tinguished. l am reminded Of a re-
mark that the great Roumanian
! statesman, Taku Jonescu, made dur
ing the Peace Conference at Paris.
! When asked his views as TO the future
OF civilization. he replied "Juiged by

NO CHANGE IN
COST CAR LICENSES
Only Cars Purchased After August Isl
Are Entitled to Half Rate For
License Fee

This Office Is in receipt of instruct
ions from the Secretary Of State to
me effect that only cars, trucks, and
motorcycles purchased after August
first are entitled to the half rate for
license fee. The instructions are
based on an opinion of Buell. +. Jones,
Attorney General, which is as follows:
Sec. S642. Provided, further that
the fee for registering any heretofore
unregistered motor vehicle under the
provisions of this act which motor
vehicle shall be purchased on and
after August LIST of any year, shall be
one-half of the amount hereinbefore
prescribed, and If purchased on or
after November first of any year it
shall be one-fourth of the amount
hereinbefore prescribed"
you will observe that a heretofore
unregistered motor vehicle which is
entitled to be registered for the one
half registration fee is limited to one
purchased on and after August LIST.
The one fourth registration fee is lin
tied in the same way and applies only
to motor vehicles purchased on or
after November list" In other words
the full license fee must be paid on
all motor vehicles except those pur-
chased on Or after August LIST or on or
after November 1st.'
Further all applications for motor
vehicle licenses alter August first must
bear the date when purchased.
