rtng with death, with all the chances against the
trespasser"
One of the strangest traits of human nature is
that many persons of intelligence will disregard
every consideration of caution And in spite of all
the warnings which may be given the number of pre-
ventabe accidents increases every year.

Hindenburg Signs
n RESIDENT Hidenburg of Germany has sign
r ed the Young plan agreement for the final de-
termination of war PREPARATIONS, although it was
strongly opposed by certain elements of the German
people.
This act is of the most important significance, be-
cause it marks the end of the long and often bitter
controversy reparations which has existed over
since the end Of the World War.
In reaching peaceful settlement of this vast and
complicated problem the conciatory attitude of Pre-
| sdent Hndenburg has been great help Although
during the he looked upon a ruthless mil
itaris since his accession to the presidency in 1925
his powerful influence has been consistently exerted
| in behalf of peace and harmony.
He is still vigorous and active at the age of eigh-
tthree and enjoys the confidence and respect of the
world at large. His approval of the Young plan is
another evidence of his sincere desire to promote
peace and good will among nations.

What Price Liberty
TT has always been the pride and boast of America
that it is "the home of the Free" But just how
a free we? With hundreds of thousands of
federal and state laws to say nothing of city ordn-
ances, what citizen go through day of twenty
four hours without consciously unconsciously vio
lating one more of them?
Yet, Ignorance of the law man." And
yet, again, not official in hundred is familiar
with all the laws and ordinances which he is sworn
to enforce
1t is true, of course, that the ever increasing
complexity of civzaton-or is it civilization p
appears to make laws necessary from time to
time. But is there any justification for the orgy of
lawmakng, with its inevitable accompaniment of law
breaking, which this country has witnessed in recent
years?
The most disturbing result of all this is that real
ly serious crimes such murder burglary arson and
the like seldom punished while the ordinary decent
citizen is harassed in his business and in his private
life by of laws and bureaucratic regulations
which require army of officials to enforce. And
at that they not enforced.
1t looks though paying tremendous
price for government, the principal object of which
appears to be the destruction of those fundamental
rights for which forefathers fought and died.
