In comparing the annals Of tbo.I1
three great branches of the Arvs
family we find in their social s s
political ideas and institutions 40,
tain traits and features
COMMON TO THEM ALL
confirming their unity of origin
and constituting tie fundameny,
law of their national life.
In the course of their histo,;
growth it is to be noticed that fro1
the very first there existed in M
minds and found expression in ii
conduct of the fathers and foundeI
of Aryan culture and proves
all ages and everywhere, certa]
primitive conceptions aud eleme
taiy maxims of SOFA! aud politic|
order, free dom and progress. The
existed among the Greeks in star
ling and vigorous clearness; the
tlourished with purity and preoisio
in the best days of Roman greaI
nest; they were rudely but nobl
displayed by the Teutonic tribe,
whose wild, fierce and ba, bari
courage yalquished the power d
classical civilization and founded
the proud nationalities of moder
Europe; the acquired a new an
deeper meaning among the inhab
tants of early England. These COZ
ceptions and canons of political an
social well being reached their full
est utterance and received the
brightest illumination in the decl
ration that made the American co
onies independent states.
And what are some of these o.
ganic ideas and forces, constituting
as it were, the primitive law of Oh
national health? The first and ca
dinal principle upon which ever
other is based and around which a
others revolve is the absolute re-
ignition and preservation of the 4
dividual as the unit of organized 81
ciety. Within the limits which II
experience ana history of our rae
have pre- cribed as necessary to tt
existence and lnainten ance of soci
ard political order, the hights
freest and most vigorous exercise
individual freedom and aspiration
alone compatible with the prospe

national life. The individual pr
vate citizen, with all the naturs
attributes and limitations of hi
mental, moral and physical nature
is the indispensable and should b
the indestructible unit of every fret
enduring and harmonious common
wealth.
This was the fundamental MAXI
Of Grecian politics; it was the co
nerstone of Rome's pristine glor
as free republic; it constituted
distinguishing trait of the rud
systems of the Teutonic trlbes;
was the stubborn demand of on
English sires-those ''iron barons
