M cans and Ends.

"Our Wills and fates do 80 contrary run,
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts and acts are ours,
Their ends none of our own"
The notions of justice which were re-
Gently exemplified by the Spanish au-
thorities, in the case of Francisco
Ferrer, patriot and teacher, and anar-
chist only in so far that he opposed tyr
amy, has only resulted SO far in an
ominous expression of disapproval of
the travesty of justice, called trial,
which preceded his death. This is but
one of many such instances proving that
partially educated men still think that
sends Justify means" Could there be
more unreasonable proposition than
that, when dubious means are used to
safeguard the ideals of enlightened
men?
The means supposed to be religious
and conservative need not be recalled to
the minds of readers of history since it
is the existence of the idea that sends
justify means" and not its source which
concerns all subjects at the present time.
Nobody considering the consequential
and dangerous idea under discussion
will Uiph fn lopo of 70, 81
sible perfection of the social state, but
consideration convinces one that the
means is as important, or more so than
the ideals to be realized. For there is
still uncertainty attached to the ideal
but misuse of power in the hope of per-
fecting human behavior gives actual re-
suits in the shape of resentment and an.
tagonism. And such results constitute
the greatest problem before those en-
trusted with lower. When will men,
generally, understand the proposition,
"Two wrongs do not make a right"
No doubt the methods of Ferrer were
wrong in some degree but the greater
wrong, evident to a host of students of
public affairs, in the disposal of him,
really justified, to great extent, the
propaganda offensive to the authorities.
The authorities gave evidence against
themselves. Ferrer living, aud perhaps
likely to blunder in his methods was less
of menace to the policies he opposed,
than is Ferrer regarded as a martyr by
influential and respectable men, who,
previous to the event of his death had
hardly given thought to him or his
purpose. Ferrer's teachings now will
be widely considered and contrasted
with the policies of constituted author
ity. In misuse of power lays the oppor-
tunity for host of professional agita-
tors and revolutionists.
If those entrusted with power in any
degree will look well to the means they
employ in furtherance of a worthy pur-
pose they will help in an incalculable
degree to realize the greatest need of
our times, respect for laws set forth in
Holy Writ and in the statutes of the
authorities. If laws and methods of
procedure are offensive to the sense of
the great mass of persons of naturally
good disposition there will still be the
sympathy with law breakers that bodies
