AMERICAN "CHAOS"

Former Senator j. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago
thinks American politics and morals in very bad
way In speech he says:
"No political party in America stands for any
principle of liberty of man or justice of government.
Only place and profit is the object of candidates for
office Men longer respect the lessons of history
give regard to the personal rights of the citizen
Violation of law, from booze bandry to man
murder is the sport of the hour. This of today in
America has its counterpart in the Rome just be-
fore it fell to chaos and destruction and in Russia just
before it yielded to revolution and anarchy"
Can conditions be dreadful this? Or has
brilliant lawyer been ured into one-sided statement
of the case?
All the things he is worried about here-as
tendencies Also there found here spread through
these United States other tendencies of very differ
ent character-unity kindness, humanitarianisn, in
telgence constructiveness unselfish devotionin
prising volume and force when you look for them
And which set of tendencies will dominate the 9TH

sellers will probably evolve slogan of their

then the public may expect be urged to give

1t is perfectly sensible idea and there are many
persons who will be glad avail themselves of sys

distant cities through members of the booksellers
association.
There seem to be infinite possibilities in this idea
