THE admirable platform upon which
the party appeals to the country for its
confidence and support clearly states
the principles which were so well con-
densed in the first inaugural address of
President Jefferson, and points out with
force and direction the course to be pur-

Liberty. as understood in this coun-
try, means not only the right of free
dom from actual servitude, imprison-
ment or restraint. but the right of one
to use of his faculties in all lawful
ways, to live and work where he will

of each of the several states, but the
states are by the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States
forbidden to deprive any person of any
one of them without due process OF
law.
Occasionally, by reason OF unneces-
sary or impatient agitation for re.
forms. or because the limitations
placed upon the departments of gov
eminent by the constitution are dlare
garded by officials desiring 10 accom-

whether the power exists in them or
not, it becomes desirable to call atter-
ton to the fact thatthe people. in whom
