The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-06-19

| There must be a State, and there must be
laws. True freedom cannot exist except
where person and property are vigorously
| protected where each Is free to seek his
own good in his own way, SO long as he
does not interfere with the rights of
( others; where all bear the just burden of
taxation, and where all, so far as consist
| ent with the general good, have an equal
| hare in the sovereign power. Doggedly
| did our forefathers struggle to establish
upon this continent such freedom, and
| our government is the most completely
| self-sustaining system that the world has
ever seen.
That there is room for improvement,
and that there is even need OF it, is recog-
nized by all. We are menaced by oppos-
| ing dangers-too much freedom on the
| one hand, too little on the other; the
| former reaching its extreme logical con-
sequence in anarchy, the latter in despot-
| ism.
Given such higher and all prevalent
| education, and the concomitant will be
wise legislation. Then shall liberty no
| longer be confounded with lawlessness,
but on every hand, above the sound of the
whirring wheels of industry, shall be
heard the cheerful song of the artisan,
telling more plainly than any of mouth,
that true liberty is, indeed, obedience to
law.
