we will vote their sentiments.
Some may say chat they know and
care but little about it. If any are
30 selfish and cold as to forget that
one hundred years ago men were !
giving their fortunes and lives to !
attuin the liberty We might enjoy. |
they ought to know how men and
women are being dragged out OF
bed ut midnight. in Russia, placed
in underground prisons. and trans
ported to bleak country, to spend
the remainder of their miserable |
lives under guard. or be brutally
slaughtered. for trying to obtain
less liberty THAI. we can enjoy. But
/ will turn from these extremes to
material things.
Constitutions and laws are worse
than dead letters. where they are
wrongly and oppressively executed.
In true sense it il more degrading
for officers to rob the people who
placed them i'll position, than it Is
for highwaymen and sneak-thisves
to ply their vocation. Yet it is SO
commonly practiced on ignorant
people, that the common occur
ence seems to mitigate the crime.
Men who wish to strip country. or
people, of their wealth, choose To-
calities where the people are not
well informed; but steady, pro-
gressive men, who settle perma-
nently and expect and do build up
a business that advances the inter-
est of a community, choose locali-
ties more congenial to their desires.
What has Gods nature iven us
in this poor country? The first of
temporal blessings is health. We
are satisfied with the country in
this respect. A range for stock. to
help support us-but it has helped
to support many thieves i'll the hog
line. Providence brought disasters
where men failed to correct the
evil.
| We had one of the finest forests
and the most accommodating water
courses in the world, to handle the
wealth of the forests. 1t has been
handled, and we have nothing but
ghostly stumps to show for it. Our
magnificent cypress and pine trees
were turned out of their natural,
most open, direct and convenient
course. To- support and help build
ND several fine lumber mills iii O
neighboring State. where they help
to enhance the value of other prop
. erty and institutions. The lumber
then comes back through our Pearl
, river, to find market in our State,
J lodging the wealth we SEE just out
of our reach. 1t has also enabled
non-residents to own the front lands
on our rivers, for many miles, to
, the exclusion of our citizens. We
were told that no man could enter
. more than 100 acres of State land;
but those who honrded the wealth
of our forests and labor, gained
with it the privilege of entering as
much az they desired, and just as
: they wanted it. One mans entry
is disgrace to the managers of the
State Land Office.
If we supposed that those nom
r residents would improve and ELL
; nance the yu.ue of those lands and
, the interests of the country, We
! might be satisfied; but We know
that they are stripping them. and

contempt, the latter OF dread. The
golden mean, however, approaches
much nearer the latter extreme than
the former and the truly independent
man. independent in the best sense, of
moral qualifications as man, is but
one step removed, from that of callous
Indifference. That one step is the
idea of fair-play. Inject the idea of
fair.play into the hardest headed in
differentism and you have one of the
finest types Of Independence. Such a
character will most obstinately defend
a proposition; yet will allow full
discussion of it; he will state his views
IN naked truths and with carelessness
as to whom it may be applicable, and
yet he will not descend to personali-
ties; he will be positive, and yet not
arbitrary; he will stare the premises
out of countenance and take off his
hat to a logical conclusion. Thlsspe-
cies of independence, SO closely allied
to perversity, is the kind of stuff of
which heroes are made, men whose
example, if followed, lead almost in.
variably to success. The class of syc'
ophants and drivelers can not, logl-
cally, held themselves in any esteem,
nor expect to be esteemed by others.
Living in constant dread Of adverse
criticism F.; fearing to face any one S
opinion, lest it should be i'll, having
none Of their own, attempting to
dodge every issue, they are entitled
to no more consideration than an au'
tomoton, being only, so much men, in
appearance, and no more so, as free
moral agents. To sum up, the one
type assumes the responsibility Of its
opinions, bears the burden Of its own
errors, and is a positive one, the other
shifts or lodges all responsibility in
the matter of opinion, lives in constant
fear of committing an error and ID a
negative type.
