Bat even you and ], governor, have
sometimes been betrayed into an sppro-
val and admiration OF government pa
ternalism. For example, when the city
fire engine drew up in front Of our
dwelling in an emergency and saved 1t
from ashes, we embraced the oppOrtu-
nifty to treat Che boys to oysters and
coffee at least. I know / did, and I
don't think you 80 emRncipRtedi from
ordinary human nature that you would
not have done likewise. And when q
burglar was infesting our house, the
government police was q mighty handy
institution to have around. Aud our
postofacs and school systems should
have been constant reminder to us that
we were living under paternslistic sys.
tenn. And while so many cities are
struggling against bankruptcy and liti.
CATION growing out Of contracts with
water, gas and electric light fiends, how
consolitory it must be to them to be
hold their neighborlng town (like Water
vile, Ms.), running all these at cost and
without trouble and disturbance from
within or without-ths people contented
and paying from one-third to one.hslf
for all these what neighboring towns
and cities are paying for inferior accom-.
modRtlons in the same line. Indeed, I
am informed that Topeka owns and
operates an electric light plant and has
for years; and that 1t has done more to
make her streets safe at night than the
whole police force Of the city.
And what is this thing dsnominsted
nationslism Gather than pstsrnslism),
and what does it mssnP 1t means the
administration Of things public in their
nature by the state or by the public,
with no infringement OF natural rights
OF the Notwithstanding strictly per.
sOnsl things to personal initiative snd
control. And confess to seeing moth
ing frightful in that, do you? And this
nstionslizSr works for the benefit of the
whole instead Of the few. That is it's
great fault with those who have hitherto
profted by the system Of grants, cOrpo-
rstions and special privileges. They can
no longer feather their nests at the ex-
pense Of the toilers and the masses, and
hence their kick. They have enjoyed
the psternsl benefits and blessings FOR
half q century and have grown stronger
and stronger and more able to keep the
wesklings in subsection. Therefore, as
I said last week, turn about would be
fair play. But even that is not pro
posed; but a system that would treat all
sliks-so that its benefits, like the dsws
of heaven, would fall indiacriminately
upon all. So, common people, come for
ward and take possession Of your own
governments and run them in your OWL
interest Hitherto, you have had very
little to do with them and have derived
very little benefit from them.

Destroy Liberty to Preserve Civilization.
The Progressive Farmer directs atten.
tion to a dispatch sent from Washing
ton, July 2, to the Chicago Inter, Ocean.
In it the following words appear:
"Public men here are very reluctantly
arriving at the conclusion that this
country may be called upon to decide
whether 1t shall become necessary to
destroy liberty in order to preserve civ
ihzatlon."
Commenting upon it the former paper
says: "This is one Of the most Rstound-
ing, and indeed the most startling dec
lsrstion that has appeared in the pluto
cratic PRESS" Farmers and working
men, read carefully these lines. Weigh
them we'll and reflect. Consider in what
short time you may have no voice in the
affairs Of this republic,
It may not be out Of place to examine
this "libsrty" aud 'civilization." It will
not be denied that there are several
kinds Of "libsrty" and civilization"
First, there Is natural liberty and civil
liberty. Then there is political liberty
and religious liberty.
Natural liberty is defined ss consisting
sin the power OF acting as one thinks ft,
without any restraint or control, except
from the laws OF nature" Is this the
kind OF liberty to be destroyed by plu-
tocracy in order to preserve ciVilizationP
Political liberty is "bhe freedom Of
nation or state from all unjust abridge-
ment Of its rights and independence by
another state" Is this the kind Of
liberty which plutocracy proposes to de-
stroy In order to preserve civilization?
Religious liberty is the "frse right Of
adopting and enjoying opinions on religi-
Gus subjects, and Of worshipping the Su-
preme Bsing, according to the dictates
of conscience, without external control"
Is this also the kind Of liberty which
plutocrscy intends to destroy in order to
preserve civilization?
"Civil liberty is the state Of men in q
state Of society, 30 far only abridged and
restrained as is necessary and expedient
for the safety and interest OF the society,
state or nation" Is civil liberty, then,
to be destroyed by plutOcrscy in order to
preserve civilization
"Civilization is the state of being re-
fined in manners from the grossness Of
savage life, and improved in the arts and
learning"
Did the dispatch to the Inter. Ocean
mean that liberty, whether, natural,
political, religious or civil, 10 to be de-
stroyed in order to preserve the people
of this republic in state Of being re-
fined from the grossness Of savage life
and improve them in the arts and learn
ingP
No, verify By ''liberty" it meant the
right Of voice or vote in the management
Of governmental affairs, and by "civilizs-
ton" is meant the maintenance Of the
present conditions brought about By the
passage Of unjust laws through the in
fluence and power Of corporations, CAPT.
talists and income classes.
