 Again, our indIyiduaIist voYager must conform 10 certain arbitrary rules and regulations, which he has not had the smallest voice in mak- ing. Nevertheless, 1t may be of comfort to his individual 8over- eighty to know that those laws are really conducive and necessary to his safety and comfort, and above all, that they are not the enactment of majority or even minority rule, but are based upon experience and observed facts, just as the laws of a socialist State will be, as soon as the people become intelligent enough to recognize them.
 And, taking things altogether, our transatlantic VOyager will find a vast amount of authoritative reguIa tl0n on this marine State that he has entrusted his fortunes to.
 On the other hand, what a glori- ous vision of Liberty (wIth 8 big, big L), freedom and spontanelty un- rolls itself like an oriental panorama to the unhampered, unrestricted, ungoverned gaze of the enthusiastic anarchist as he embarks in his very own canoe or catboat, and like unto Ulysses of old,
 "Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows." to discover once more the "llappy Isles, where everyone is sovereign and shoemaker unto himself. And then, are there not atfinitles who would voyage the same path: Truly; and thus we form our group, or fleet, each individual sovereign in his own canoe, padding "o'er the placid ocean plains" most glorious Armada of Individual Sovereignty.
 But have care, fond dreamers; nature to-day is as boisterous at times as in the days of Ulysses and Phyllis, and you in your canoe are far more likely to become food for fishes than the fishes to become your food. as they might had you not exalted your individuality above the law and au- thority of individual interdepend- ence.
 Our "anarchist" friends will take exception to the foregoing as not be- ing correct illustration of the diff ference between liberty as they con- ceive it, and as the socialists con- ceive it. They will claim that the conditions imposed by the forces and operations of nature render the authority and the discipline upon ship necessary; also the undevel- oped character of the individuals composing many of the ships con- pany. At first glance, this may
