This la a count ry-wide decision

Would disturb business.

put ln practice would compel the
trusts to deal Justly, labor to be giv-

We can kill nothing. If we smash
the body the life or spirit goes on
working In a higher realm or vibra-
tion and the body disintegrates into
Us component parts, but each atom
gets busy again and goes to forming
new associations. We can wreck
(he body, which Ib composed of mat
ter, but we can destroy neither
spirit nor matter. We can only com
pel the inhabitant of the body to
move out and our jostling only
causes the atoms of matter to seek
other associations. All the universe
is alive from grain of sand to the
blazing sun. All nature is throbing
with ceaseless energy. You may
knock things down, but they will
get up again. Nature resents all idea
of death, or stagnation. Even the

or salary, becomes the chattel pro-

3232,072.50 during 1911 for THE

not Include the gangs, (of which the
writer has seen many), working on

In Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas,
Mississippi and Texas the same
Donkercratic system is carried on
under the Woody and Billy "Demo-

The general charge of vagrancy Is
only another term for unemployment
or searching for employment. The
wording of the law, copied from the
old English laws is: "Anyone who is
