Had it not been for the liberal
minded, fearless, deep, free-thinking
orators and writer's Of past ages that
have broken down the barriers of gen.
orally accepted opinion of the times we
might today be under the despotic rule
suffered by our ancestors, and not be
enjoying the more liberal form of gov
eminent and bettered social condition
Of the present time.
The evolution Of the bettered social
condition of the present is due to the
battles Of right steadfastly waged
against pre-existent evils.
The early colonists established an
Independent government with a view
to liberty and freedom for all. As one
of the leading features Of this freedom
we have a free public educational sys-
tern. which has been the main instru-
ment In the elevation of morality and
in the making Of the highly success
full commercial nation Of today.
Undoubtedly, could the noble found
ers Of our Constitution have foreseen
the conditions resultant from the broad
misinterpretation and abuse of the
word Freedom they would have made
some limitations and amendments. A
people of any nation ought to be al
lowed freedom only as far as the limit
of doing that which is right, but man
should not be allowed freedom to lay
individual claim to natural commodi-
ties and resources that are essential
to the welfare, life and health Of ma
ton.
All laws ought to be based upon
natural equity between man and man
When any country is new and unde-
veloped, with boundless unowned ter
ritory, men have practically their ma
tura rights. But as development con-
tinues and the country becomes dense
ly Inhabited the greater majority OF
the later generations become abjec1
slaves to their masters-the first
corners or their progency, and the
more selfish, willy, shrewd men Of their
time.

PARKER q LITTLE CIFVFlAND
SAWS ABLE SOCIALIST LEADER
Victor L. Berger Writes Of tho Democratic Nominees Formal
Acceptauoe.-Judge Parker Does Not Recognize
the Industrial Problem.

A. B. Parker, the Democratic can
didate for Prestden has spoken. In
hts speech accepting the nomination
he has given his views Oh the political
situation and his remedies. While
holding the position Of judge Of the
New York Court of Appeals he con-
sidered himself In duty bound to re-
train from expressing any POLITICAL
opinion. He ydlded ON one occasion,
however, and sent the we1l-known
despatch to tho Democratic convention,
in which he declared the god standard
to be firmly established.
A few days ago he resigned his aeat
on the judicial bench, and thus put
himself in position to express his
views.
The substance Of what he said in
his speech was, Of course, what we ex-
pected Of him. He recites his little
piece very cleverly. Especially that
part Of his speech which deals with
Imperialism is very neatly done. In
this he deals with the only issue upon
which the two old parties pretend to
be divided Mr.. Parher's view on that
questton-vtz>. that the American
Republic has long been a world
power" that It has not become one
through the Late war. but through it's
ant1-monarchtc principles Of govern
ment and by the labor Of it's inhahit-
ants; that this country should not be-
come military power. seeking adven-
lures abroad or suh3sagAting other ma
tions-to all these views every sane
man must subscribe. And that Is the
only part Of his message worth any
consideration.
Mr.. Parker saw tit also to mention
the Colorado incideuts right in the
beginning Of his speech. Being a
lawyer he does not 80 beyond the

morris, claims that 1.-The 1nonopolies
may be reached by COMMON law"
This endn mis- speech of acceptance.
And not what he actually says Is
so assat!able, as rather that which he
orntts. The social problem does not
exist for Mr.. Parker. With the tariff

patrontze and control Parker. It was
this element which induced Cleveland
to Interfere In behalf Of the railroad
companies In the Chicago strike in
1894
From the good cithen's'' standpoint,
as well an from the point OF view OF
the big capitalist, no doubt Parker is
more Trustworthy man than evan
Roosevelt. He will therefore receive
not only the vote Of those Democrats
who did not vote for Bryan. but also a
large number OF Republican votes. He
will also receive at least as much, II
not more, money from the trusts and
railroads as will Roosevelt. But on
the other hand, Parker will lose the
support OF a number Of Bryan men,
who In suite Of tho (oouhrad ictory) ad-
vice OF Bryan, will not vote for Par
ker.
But In order to be elected, however,
he will mead not only New York state;
but also one or two large states at the
West; and It il very doubtful whether
he can scar1y them. HenGerSIr. Par

who is paying 1t. There Is nothing
that adds as much to the cause of
