''- ' Flew the iprlaiflald rain
,. OnlnioBs as te the cause of the "un
rest ae much in evidence vary quits as
mucn as the numerous forms in which
the unrest manifests Itself. . Some of the
causes advanced are too much lass, too
much hooch, too much lawlessness, too
much law, toe -much restraint on the
people, too little restraint, too little re
ligion, too much preachlnc. too much
unemployment., too much laziness, and
so on. It seems to be either toe much
or too-little of one thing or snother.
The only thing on which, nesrly every
body seems to agree is that there is too
much unrest. 4
