The people who live In this country are free. They are not slaves. They are independent { people who bend the knee to no king, no prince, ne potentate. They select those who govern. The fortunes of the nation are not put in the pcrmanent keeping of any one man. They are not entrusted to the care of any one jamily. No po- litical party has a monopoly of gov- ernment here. So long as the people of this land do not violate the in- trinsic laws of God and man they are free to pursue the even tenor of their way. That is why America is called the Land of the Free. They were indeed founded this country. valiant soul: who dared face the tedious journey across the Atlantic that here should be builded a new government foreign ‘o previous were brave brave men who They were any in existence.

KING CHARLES IN ROLE OF DICTATOR Austrian Monarch Has Little Sympathy for Upper-Classes a town of 1900, in Austria, the Aus- by the Vienna, via London, Feb. 22.—The intense cold weather has passed and the warmer weather set in which has meagurably solved the fuel difficulty in Vienna and incidentally greatly facilitated the importation of food stuffs. ‘The flour mills, which were shut down owing to frozen rivers, are again in operation and full bread ra- tions are once more in force. Vienna street cars are now again running night and day. Dr, Welis- kirchner, the burgomaster, had de- cided that no cars should run be- tween 9 in the morning and afternoon. After a talk with the em- peror over the telephone. the head of the municipality changed his mind. It appears that he told the emperor that the cars must he stopped on account of the lack of coal. He was told that it was his business to find fuel and he dld so. In order to atvold evasion by the city council the emperor himself fixed the number of cars which were to run. Some official circles in Vienna and clsewhere throughout the empire have not recognized the shock caused by the energetic young emperor. Red tape has been cut right and left and official heads continue to fall in the general cleanup which is still going on. Tt is a sad time for certain army officers who have been enjoying staff inactivity. In another instance the emperor sent a batch of seventy to the front and replaced them by in- valided officers. While the official classes were at first inclined to offer passive resist- ance they now have resigned them- selves to the Inevitable. Those who feel the pace of the new regime too fast are resigning while the rest are attempting to live up to the mon- arch’s demands for hard work, effi- \ciency and punctuatity. The energy and force of character displayed by the young emperor are attributed by those who know him to the fact that his branch of the im- ' perial famlily was notoriously poor and that before he came helr ap- parent he was often actually “hard up: BEHEADED 120 PEOPLE.

The commis- it was stated today .is bent on finding a cure for conditions and not a mere pallistive. Atithe end of six months the commission feels that conditions Ir the news print industry will so have been shaped that un- restrained co-operation will insure fair and equitable prices. Acceptance of the proposal hinges on the attitude of the manufacturers who are arriving here. Those who have already signed represent two- thirds of the manufacture Their surrender in the face of criminal in- dictments, officials believe, will break the news print market and force prices to an equitable level whether all other manufacturers join in or not. Members of the commission are that most of the other big manufacturers will come up. Discontinuance of the department of justices’ criminal investigation has not been promised any manufactur- it was made clear today, but it is not belleved. if indictments are found. the cases ever will come to trial if in the meantime competition is restored.
