the farms. This road is essential to
the life of the nation: without it the
men in the factories would starve
and the farmers would be unable to
get the products of the factory. The
road is a mediCm of exchange. 1t is
free. It is owned by all the people,
It was built by them for use in ex-
changing the product of the farms for
the product of the factories. For
thousands of years it was against the
laws of the country to obstruct it or
control it. The curse of the Bible
was upon anyone who took toll for
its use-such a one lost all social
standing, was imprisoned. sometimes
executed and his goods taken from
him.
In times of great national danger,
certain toll gate concessions were
granted, not willingly. but for pur-
poses Of national unity and defense
tribute was now taken from all who
used this great highway, and in a
very short time the keepers of the
toll gate owned both the factories

debtedness in Hill county, Montana,
in 1919, was over S35,000,00O and he
estimated that it would require eight
bushels eff wheat per acre on every
acre und.r cultivation in Hill county
to pay the interest alone. If everyone
in Hill county paid interest prompt
" when due, the total amount paid
during the past five years would total
over SIS, 100000, and they would still
owe the S35 100000 debt of 1919.
The United States is simply large

can never pay. The same is true Of

A study of interest or usury re-
veals the fact that taking interest on
money is against the laws of God
and was outlawed by the great ma
tons Of antiquity. 1t was condemned
by the great scholars and philosoph-
ers of Greece and Rome, by the early
church fathers and reformers like
Luther.
For many hundreds Of years it was
against the laws of England and

Interest on money, or civilization,
must end-they both cannot continue.
The world has reached a point where
it cannot produce enough wealth to
pay interest on its Indebtedness and
live. History teaches US that men
repudiate and appropriate, before
they starve or die.
American history teaches US that
private interests and property must
give way for the national good.
Abraham Lincoln confscated pri-
vate property when he emancipated
the slaves. Congress did likewise
when they passed the eighteenth
amendment. Washington and his
friends also appropriated the proper
ty of the Loyahsts who were driven
from their homes into Canada.
History and reason unite in teaching
US that human rights are above pro-
perry rights, and that when the time
comes that property rights interfere
with, or destroy human happiness,
then property rights must be set
aside in the interests of mankind.

and, second, certain special charac-
istics Of ancestors.
These special characteristics Of
ancestors, when appearing in prog
eny, establish what are recog-
nized as family resemblances."
OF course, there cannot be resem-
blances or similarities or like
nesses unless there are correspond
ing dissimilarities or unlikenesses,
a fact that is not only logically
necessary, but actually true, as
established by universal observa-
ton.
Identical reproduction never has
occurred and never can occur In
the sense that a human offspring
is exactly like either or both of it's
parents. The reason for this is
found in the fact that there are
always two parents and that on
the average, each parent has as
much power as the other to trans
NIT characteristics to offspring.
I say "on the average" because
while we constantly find families
in which one child is exactly like
one parent and another like the

other parent, no child ever equal
ly resembles both parents. 1t will
be found on analyzing a large
number Of instances that resem-
blances are about equal as be-
tween those derived from fathers
and mothers.
These resembIances and differ
ences, likenesses and unlikensses,
are indeed caused by the dominance
of some trait or traits over another
trait or traits in the commingling
Of traits as derived from both
parents.
One Of these unit characters-
any one Of them-may dominate
In some one offspring.
In another offpsing of the same
parents this unit character with
other unit characters may recede,
while the other one becomes domi-
nant.
1t Is these variations, or rather
the intelligent recognition of them,
rejecting the bad and selecting and
blending those of them that are
good in the next generation that
give to man his greatest opportu-
nifty to improve the race.

ed from lack of a proper quantity
Of fresh air and exercise.
Two classes of children are thus
suffering and their mind training
is accordingly unbalanced. The
child Of the poor tenement dweller,
which is kept overtime in a close,
stuffy place; the child Of the ex-
travagant rich, who has too much
to eat and is kept peevish, erratIc
or stupefied from overrich food and
under-exercise.
Yes, understand that a part Of
this matter belongs to the doctor
of health. But as doctor Of edu-
cation, must insist on the point
that not only children, but adults
become stupid, mentally sluggish.
erratic, neurasthenic and otherwise
Intellectually unbalanced from
want Of proper outdoor exercise.
There are some who starve from
eating too much bad food. There
are some who starve from breath
ing too much bad air. There are
some who starve mentally from
entertaining too many yellow"

TF you desire to have your
children grow mentally as
Il we'll as physically, see that
they get out in the open air
daily.
Unless the blood obtains it's
full bath Of clean oxygen daily
the brain of your child will
become sluggish and slow mental
habits will tend to become fixed.
The best.understood laws OF
training now call for a constant
growth Of the mind and the body
of the young, and this in a
steady, even movement. Both
health and intelligence depend on
the parity of the blood stream.
You may, however. keep your
child indoors, stuff him with an
over amount of rich food, build
thus a big, soft. flimsy body and
imagine that to be enough fo-
the present. But a child so treat
ed becomes mentally sluggish.
OF course, It is quite as objec-
tionable to force the mind ahead
of the body. Too much attention,
too much mental work, showing

ahead of the grade in school,
