sions when they try to make IL APP

bitiOn, and to do what they could to

Ia designed by the ''leaders," TO di-
vide and finally disrupt the demo-
cratic party in this state; they desire

" hat they did in this matter, was
done wholly for the purpose Of put
ting down a dangerous dogma that
had its origin in the north and could
do no go"d to the people of Texas

party. Hence their action in the
premises was timely and as an evil
d,nce that the democracy of the
state approves of what they have
done, we have only to point to the
result of the recent local option elee
tions in a number of the most popu'

ties in the state, which overwhelm-
ingly endorsed them ia the course
they have pursued.

The worst Form.

contemplates sinking individualism
out of sight entirely aud substituting
In its place tho rule of the communi-
ty. This is to extend even to the ex-
treme length of regulating the per-
sonal habits, tastes, appetites, moral
modes, religious beliefs, and in short
everything pertaining to the individ-
ual, or which belongs to and Is to be
regulated by the community. With
this sort of rule prevailing the indi-
vidual will have nothing sacred to
himself His moral makeup aud re-
ligious faith, his home, his children,
his farm, his store, and his OK, and his
ass win belong as much to the CON-
munity as to himself. This is travel
ing long way in this direction
where the community shall say what
man may drink or how he may do
1t. The fact is we are toying with a
principle which is dangerous and
deadly to the last degree. If we take
down the bare in one place the whole
field lies open to fanaticism and its
carly occupancy is as inevitable as to-
morrow's sun.
Under our system everything
tends to the glorification of the dig
nifty ofcitizenship. Personalism is an
intense element in our system. This
can be seen and understood when we
reflect that the people are sovereign.
To enable a sovereign to maintain
his dignity, we do not curtail his
personal Importance and force him
to eat, drink and wear only certain
articles prescribed by law and to re-
frain from those prescribed. The lib
critics, that is, the privileges, the dig
mites and Importance of the inviduai
cannot be too jealousy guarded in a
government such as ours where ev-
erything depends upon the individual.
Give up one thing, give up the
right to order your private life as
you choose and there is no telling
where it will stop. No man properly
balanced and worthy of citizenship in
free government, will willingly sign
away his right to take a drink Divine
or beer If he cares to do it. A man
whose appetites are so ungovernsble
as to be unable to control himselfmay
call in the community to help re-
strain him. But our government il
not built upon its weaklings We
have asylums for them and they ar,
tcnderly cared for by tho state.
The government is not predicate
upon their deficiencies or their wan
of self-control. If it wer
then the sooner 1t fell to pieces an'
was blotted out from mems memo
ries, the better.
Our government is growing yer,
rapidly in population, in wealth am
in intelligence, aud now more thai
ever does it behoove us to guard we
the personal dignity and privilege
of the individual. With our enol
nous growth grows the dispositio
to concentrate power In the hands {
of the government. For every priv
