is GOVERNMENT SOMETHING TO LIVE ON?

We seem to have an entirely mistaken notion II
this country about government-that is, tremen-
dous lot of US have.
1t is evident that this lot conceives government
to be something to live ON instead of to live
UNDER.
1t is very much as Justice Maxey of the Penn
sylvania supreme court saying in recent tre&-
tise on the Constitution:
Democracy descends to dictatorship with ease.
People in distress overestimate the omnscience of
legislators and the omnipotence of legslation-in
other words they confuse government with God
Kings lost their popularity and sometimes Their
thrones when crops failed. As epidemcs sweep the
land quacks multiply. When industry is PROSTATE,
demagogues flourish.
when people find life's burdens heavy, and
long for political messiahs there are always those
who come forward, assume a prophets pose, and
begin to talk about establishing a new social
order"

know that government in business is a clownlsh

NOW FLORIDA is SAFE

One sees in print from Florida that Mr.. Roose-
Welt need have no fear of that state not coming to
the quilting for him.
There is this quotation in support:
"North Florida was wavering, but as soon as con-
struction of the Florida canal started, the former
losses of Mr. Roosevelt were than nullifed.'
Which would, obviously, seem to indicate that
while Florida Democrats may not be at all con-
vinced that the President is the man they should
vote for according to their convictions, he is the
man who pours the gravy and, such, he gets their
votes.
And Florida it is to be feared, is no exception
in this respect.
1t is entirely satisfactory for that state to vote
for Mr. Roosevelt but it ought to be doing its vot
ing more in response to its conscience and its con-
victions than because The President has adled out
a mess of pottage ana sent it down in the form
of very valuable waterway through the state.
! It's too much of that mere opportunism of
'whose bread l eat his song l sing."-Julian Miller

on Oct. Is, 1888, was made u. S.
citizen by act of Congress, was
brevetted a brigadier-general, was
made a member of the Order OF
Cincinnatus, and voted thanks.
Born to wealth and prominence,
the adventurous Kosciuszko came
to America and volunteered for ser.

lance as military engineer won
favor with General Washington.
After the war. he returned ia
Poland and there joined in the

taken prisoner by the Russians
and released in 1896. when he re.
visited America. He died in 1917.
