Have Men a Right to Liberty!

The anarchists of today have push
ed the old dogma of natural liberty
to the EXTREMIST form of abstract
deduction, and they propose to make
it a programme of action. They
therefore make of it a principle of
endless revolution. If, how ever, the
basis on which it once rested is gone,
it is impossible that we should hold
and use it any more. With our pres
ent knowledge OF history, we know
that no men on earth ever have had
liberty in the sense of unrestricted
ness of action. The very conception
is elusive. 1t is impossible to reduce
it to such form that it could be YER
flied, for the reason that it is non
human, non heartily 1t never could
exist on this earth and among these
men. The notion of liberty
and of the things to which it
pertains has changed from age to age
in m odern history.
Never in the history of the world
has military service weighed enlarge
bodies OF men as it does now on the
men of the European continent. It.
is doubtful if it would ever have been
endured Yet the present victims of
it do not appear to consider it incon-
sistent with liberty. SuInptuary laws
about dress would raise a riot in any
American state; a prohibitory law
would have raised a riot among
people who did not directly resist
sumptuary laws. A civil officer in
France. before the revolution, who
had bought or inherited his office.
had degree of independence and
liberty in it which the Nineteenth
century official never dreams of. On
the contrary. the more this Nine
teenth century civil and political
liberty is perfected. the more it APP
pears that under it an official has
