ANTAGONISM TO LAW.
Some manifestations of present
tendencies of the American public,
mind give rise to serious reflect'ons.
It seems 'hat as often as opportun
ity occurs there breaks forth evi
dence of latent antagonism to law and
order and to the established institu
tions upon which society has rested
with a sense of security heretofore.
Detroit has this week one example
of this tendency in the local recep
tion of that powerful play, “Within
the Law.” Orchestra and galleries
alike burst out into enthusiastic ap
plause whenever its frequent gibes at
established authority are heard and
the sympathy of our audiences s
plainly with the criminals who are
represented and against the protect
ors of society who are fighting them.
If the menace were confined to the
theaters it would be of little c nse
quence, perhaps, although the depic
tion of life in those temples of amuse
ment is usually a mirroring of the
world outside. But everywhere is to
be seen the same indication of frhat,
the public is thinking.
Sulzer, only a few days ago stripped
of every rag of h< nor, so completely
convicted of the offenses charged
against him that one editor in New
York said to him—with bitter truth—
that he was a common streetwalker,
soliciting money from every man he
met, is cheered by tens and twenties |
of thousands upon the streets of the j
commonwealth ' e has disgraced. The .
sympathy of the masses is with him,1
not with the judges who solemnly de- f
dared his guilt and deposed him from
high office.
Here in Detroit men who are under
trial for prostituting their places of
responsibility are thought by many
to be worthy of sympathy and to be
persecuted by the officials whose duty 1
it is to sustain our system of jus
tice. We do not declare these men.
to be guilty, be it understood; wre
bu* note the fact that there is a wide- '■
ly felt sentiment for them rather
than for the law. j
A general breaking down of respect
for all that has safeguarded society j
and everyone of us who make up so- ■
ciety, is no slight symptom of the;
body politic’s condition. It has some-1
times in the past forerun grave out- j
breaks. If t'e disease proves to be
progressive, ;f its ravages weaken in- i
stead of restore our society and lead
to one of those collapses that have j
blackened the pages of humanity’s ]
history at times, U will be a grave
matter for those leaders of thought 1
who assume responsibility by praising
the continuing assaults upon law and
order. Can they be sure that the
end of the course is good?—Detroit
Free Press.
WOULD BARTER PART OF ALAS
KA.
The contention that the United
States government is a government
by, and with the consent of the peo
ple, received a rude shock a few days
ago in the House of Representatives.
Congressman Smith, of Maryland, in
troduced a resolution which would
authorize the prescient to barter part
■ of Alaska to Canada in exchange for
some of the latter’s territory.
Perhaps the consumation of such
bargain might find justification in
precedents, but the following of pre
cedents is not conclusive proof that in
this instance, such action would be
justifiable, those who may be in
clined to favor the resolution, may
well ponder over the legal questions
involved in such transaction. Th
right of a government to sell or ex
change a settled territory to another
nation without the consent of the
settlers, is a question well worth
pondering -over.
American citizens have migrated to
Alaska, carrying with them not only
the natural respect of their country,
but the laws. They have settled
throughout the country in good faith
and according to the laws and their
requirements. Locating homes which
the government itself cannot take
away from them without due process
of law. Now suppose that a settler,

is prepared to fill your medicine kit
with the purest and best of drugs,
medicines, and surgical bandages.
or a community of settlers, refuse to
be governed by another government,
td which the United States has so
magnanimously ba> gained their prop
erty; and their rights thereto, then
it leaves the settlers an only altern
jative, to go. Abandon homes created
by their energy, and supported by
the faith in their country. Unreason
able as it may seem, yet it is just
what the congressman from Mary
land would compel Alaskans to do.
The report that such a resolution
had been introduced by Congressman
SmHh, of Maryland, also contains the
information that it is the congress
man’s "first, term.” There is where
the relief comes in. It is safe to say
that he will know better than to
make another break such as that be
fore the expiration of his first term,
otherwise, the chances are that he
may have to go "way back” and sit
down for a while.—Petersburg Pro
gressive.
TO A GIRL ENGAGED.
Winnipeg Tribune: “How,” asks
“Engaged,” in a letter to the editor
wl o is regarded as an auhtority on
many subjects, “can a girl be sure
the man she loves means all he says?”
The cold hard fact about it is that
she can’t. Neither can he. Solomon,
who knew a lot, said all men were
liars; and human experience in the
centuries since hasn’t produced many
reasons to change the verdict.
Not necessarily wilful and deliber
ate liars—let’s give them that bene
fit. But let’s also be candid. A man
in love is like a man in drink—he’s
too intoxicated to be responsible for
all he says. I
Do you suppose there ever was a i
man in love, from Adam down, who !
didn’t swear by all the deities that !
he’d never let the woman take in !
washing to support him? Yet the I
wash tub supports almost as many :
homes as the pick and shovel.
Circumstances change. When a
fellow gets down to earth after his
emotional tour of the stars he is apt
to be practical and matter of fact.
If he remembers his ecstatic prom
ises at all, it is vaguely. The wise
woman doesn’t presume upon them.
She just marks off the discount to
profit and loss and thanks her luck
if there’s enough left to make the
basis of a working agreement.
No, dear, you can’* believe all that
Borneo tells you; but you can judge
him fairly well on form. Is he kind
to Irs old mother? Has he good
men friends who believe in him and
trust him? Back of the froth and
embroidery of his impassioned chat
ter do you detect the rudiments of
plain horse sens ? Has he shown
gumption in tackling the business of
making a living f r two or more?
If so, and you really love the chap,
and would be willing to pare pota.
