Secretary of War Taft, in an ad dress before the Harvard law school alumni association, said last night that the declaration of Independence does not mean what It says, when declares that all government is based upon the consent of the governed. He defies the Immortal document upon which this government stands seeks an excuse for oppression by misconstruing a selfevldent doctrine -which all the enlightened nations have token as their keynote, and jus tifies the policy of holding subject Taces by saying the patriots who wrote the declaration of independence did not mpnn what they said. The doctrine promulgated by Taft Is dangerous doctrine to teach young Americans entering n professional ca. rcer. They will Imbibe a disrespect for the stability of American Intuitu lions from such doctrine taught by men in such positions. They will conclude that If one American prin ciple can be set aside for political capital and mercenary gain, that all of those principles can be subjected to the same sacrilegious treatment that nothing is sacred In popular gov ernment and nothing Is safe from the touch of the despoller.. Is It any wonder that anarchy Is on the increase among the poor, vie 5oim and Ignorant, where the sacred principles of freedom are ruthlessly jet aside by the highest officials in the land? Is it any wonder that the ehasm between the helpless and the powerful grows wider and wider and that oppression of the people by tho monster syndicates grows apace, where the custodians of the people's rights thus seek to excuso wilful dis regard of the fundamental principles of the government by such fallacies? Taft Is scattering seed of disrup tion among the American people by uch doctrine. He justifies a "bolt" Xrom American principles and if the law students to whom he lectured In this strain follow out his teaching, they will became 'aristocratic anar chists, despising and scoffing at the principles for which the patriots wil lingly surrendered their lives on the altar of freedom. IT one principle in the declaration at' independence can be thus assailed, It Is all an ompty array of words. If one of the basic doctrines of liberty ean bo thus subverted to the lusts of plutocratic government, none of them are safe from violation. Taft has made a mistake. Ills zeal lor the success of his party has driven him to this extrome sentiment which the American people will resent. Nothing is more sacred to an Ameri can .than tho guarantee of his liber ties and he will resent any attack up on thorn as If It were aimed at his family and household. Tho only man in Russia who daros io speak tho truth about the czar and hl& tyrannical government is Tolstoi, lit cau tread tho dangerous ground of criticism with impunity, and scorns the Imperial authority of' Nicholas, al though ho is living at his homo now only under promise 'that he .will "be good." , No othcrjjplusulan on earth could say about IlusBla 'What Tolstoi aays and llvo. Siberia Is fllled with bravo jnen In exile who have dared to tell the truth, and tho hangmon at JKuesia -have snuffed out tho llvos of countless thousands who have not dpoken one-tenth as much 111 of the oppressive government of Russia as Tolstoi speaks every year. Public sentiment, not alone nniong the Rus sian peasantry, hut the world over, Is with Tolslol. His criticisms of the government are too true to be Ques tioned and the czar dares not arouse further antipathy against the country by oppressing this aged hero. In a I recent Issue of tho tomlun Times, Tolslol roaBlK the czar, his govern ment, his military rule, his oppressive taxes and the needless war with Japan, and yet lives to faco ills irate sovereign. To the American, Imbued with the idea of freedom, tho restric tion of speech In Russia, Is tho acme of oppression. Thero is no further limit to which tyranny can go, than to deny n citizen tho right to glvo ut terance to the thoughts thot nature and God Implant In his mind. That Russia has succeeded In stilling speech nnd thought, and independence among her cringing people so long, is one of the wonders of the century, That the people do not openly revolt, i Is the second wonder of the times. No wonder the public sentiment of tho world is with Jnpan In the present struggle. The Japanese, emerging from barbarity, Is more acceptable to the thinking man, than Russia, with her fiendish heart under a white skin. COMING EVENTS.

Fully one-half of the Ill-content of the wjrld Is enuseil by the Idle rich classes who do not labor, flaunting their luxury before the Industrious poor, who work constantly for the bare necessities of life. This Is the cause of anarchy, it is the cause of half the robberies, hold-ups, murders and other crimes for money, In the world. If everybody had n fair share ot prosperity, nnd an equal amount of leisure for self-Improvement and pleasure, crime would gradually dis appear from the world. True, passion would still hold sway over some minds, In spite of the culture and enlightenment, but If there wat, n more equal distribution of the luxuries and more equal distribution of leisure time for recreation, study, education, among all classes, the in centive to kill nnd rob for money would disappear. The rich bring an archy and discontentment Into the world by their own actions. The hun gering hearts ot the poor grow des. porate when they see their labor un- rewarded while the Idleness of the other classes Is rewarded so richly with life's comforts and needs.

II It seems almost a sin to suppress the American spirit that expresses Itself in popping firecrackers on the Fourth of July, yet common sense and public safety demand a halt. Tho Jojirnnl of Medical Science publishes few dry statistics on the subject. which are worthy of perusal by the American public. In the Fourth of July festivities of 1902, 46G persons lost their lives by the explosions of giant firecrackers and bombs, 10 per sons were made totally blind, and 973 others were injured by the .same Joyful oxpresslon of American spirit. The most horrible fact connected with these grim statistics, however, is that in nearly every instance of death, the sufferer died with tetanus, or lockjaw, ftor from two to 30 hours of terrible suffering. These figures are sufficient warrant for city councils to suppress the giant firecrackers and the bomb, although the American spirit of the elcbration may lose some of its char acteristic features. also convincing proof that the kidneys ond bladder are out ot order. WhAl To So. There is comfort in the knowledge so often exnresseil, that Ur. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills everv wish in curine rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part ot the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in 'passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, nnd overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary eflect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have llie best, hold ny drug gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle and a i..t- i.it t,.iu nil nlKHit it. both sent free by mail.
