The test which determines whether or
not q people is civilized is its generally
received idea OF what should be the lin
itations in the use OF violence, intended
TO deprive others Of life or liberty, 70 re-
strain or coerce them.
Among the lowest saVages violence is
resorted 70 by the individual and ey the
community for the purpose Of obtaining
suStenance either through the siaugh-
ter Of the members of other communi-
ties that their bodies may be used as
food or by robbing them Of their stores
of provisions.
Among the most highly civilized vlo-
lence, actual or by implication, Is re-
sorted to only when absolutely neces-
sary in self defense.
AS the Government which represents
soall the individuals OF any country fails
10 conform TO this standard; as II uses
violence or coercion by threat or impli-
cation for any other purpose than the
defense or essential rights and for the
protection Of all in the exercise OF those
rights, il falls short OF being 4 civilized
government, and represents 70 greater
extent the original barbarism ana oru-
tality Of the man Of undevelOped intel
lect who killed his fellows and ate their
flesh.
Among all peoples who have made
any considerable advance in civilization
1t is recognized that the right OF the
individual 20 use violence 10 destroy
the life or restrain the liberty OF others
is rigidly limited BY his own right TO
live and be free. When be kills or CO.
erces, except TO defend himself, or
those he is under a natural obligation
70 defend as himself, DO is rightly
looked upon as = criminal and an op'
pressor.
Since society consists Of the individ-
uals composing IL, il cannot have with
IN itself any right or duty except such
Is is derived from them and is depend
ent upon their rights and obligations.
Consequently there can be in society
neither obligation 70 the use OF vio-
lence and coercion nor right in resort
ing TO it except to preserve the live:
and libertiss-that is, the rights-oi
!, those who compose IL, and by
delegating to q limited number OF
others the general right to use VIC
lenee 10 Selt-defense, have constituted a
government intended 10 serve as theiI
proxy 10 the use OF necessary force, and
by so doing TO relieve them as indiVld-
uals from the necessity Of being always
on guard against the danger Of destruc'
tive or cOerclve violence.

Marion H.dxepe.h His Mr.. Williams.


WAsHIyeroS CRY. Feb. 2f.-rSpscial.l-
Louis L. Williams, the new marshal of
Alaska. was at one time sheriff of Boone
county, Mo-, and while acting in that
capacity narrowly escaped death at the
hands of Marion Hedgepeth, who, next
to Jesse James. bears the reputation of
being Missouri's greatest highwayman.
Hedgepeth was the son of o wealthy
farmer in Boone county, and for some
knavery was sent to the county Jail for q
year. One day Hedgepeth struck Sheriff
Williams over the head with a stick of
stovewood and escaped. William, how
cred between life and death for some time,
but finally recovered. Hedgepeth was re-
captured, and this time sent to the peni-
tertiary, where he got in with gang Of
train robbers. whose leader he afterward
became. Mr.. Williams, who is waiting here
for his commission, thinks perhaps he is
responsible for Hedgepeth's criminal ca
reer, in that he was so careless as to per-
nit himself to be hit over the head with
billet of wood.
