FOURTH LETTER ON

his head she began to- afflict him,

thee His great strength vent from
him, but he knew it not, nor that the
Lord was departed from him. But he
said, / will go out and exercise my
self and I will feel all right. Unfortu-
nate man. He had been robbed. his
great strength was gone, he was like
other men. The Philistines overpow-
cred him, burned out his eyes, bound
him and made a beast of burden of
him.
The anti church man who has a
dislike for texts and Bible stories will
surely criticise this paper as having
a poor promise for anything on civ
les. You will ask, why introduce a
paper on the science of government.

and love and hate. = Samson was the
tool and victim in the hands Of
avowed friendship Enemies you say
with emphasis. Certainly in reality.
Enemies, but operating under the dis
guise of friendship. Please understand
we are not speaking of the woman
i'm the case-she was merely a figure
head. an unfortunate victim of Sam
sons enemies. The real enemy oper-
ating. was the Philistine society. And
that enemy was the deadly enemy Of
all Israel
Let us change the picture and in
stead of a precinct of old Israel let
us hold in perspective a moving pic
ture in a Nevada town, of real life.
Shorter than the route from the sub
lime to the ridiculous is the turn
from ancient story to modern fact.
The spirit of the ancient Philistines
is in modern society. 1t has organ
lied itself in many forms, but in
whatever form you find it, it is the
old Philistine robber spirit still. whose
chief business is to plumber. rob and
graft, holding i'm merchandise even
the souls of men; knowing no lin
itation in enterprises seeking wealth
from society and giving nothing in re-
turn. Many forms we say, yet the
same spirit Each form so intimate

with every other form. that were the
forms unnamed. we could well call
them by one name, The Colossal
Enemy" of our civil government and
the attempted destroyer of our peace
and happiness
Before proceeding farther with these
Philistine- like enemies of civil life,
let us define our course to the read
er. The two greatest natural di
visions of politics are economies and
ethics. Ethics pertains to moral liv-
ing Economics pertains to prudent
living. while politics pertains to the
proper adjustment of economic and
ethic principles to the social good Of
society. and their smooth running in
the affairs of manind. If l should
undertake to write a paper on the
tariff conservation, or commerce, you
would say the paper was written in
consideration of fundamentals. But
hear me and let us understand this
well. 1t is the moral sense of a
community that makes the tariff,
commerce and Conserves the wealth
of a nation, and not these. when
make the moral sense. Are questions
of economies. fundamental in govern
ment? Questions of ethics are more
so. for they have to do With the max
ing and enforcement of every ques-
ton OF economy If then we shall
choose from this point forward IN
these discussions, to emphasize the
ethical side of civics. let us rest as
sured ii will be not less interesting,
and even more fundamental. as lie
and personal worth are more funda-
mental than method. The last has to
do with convenience only, the first
with life itself.
Modern pugilism is an enemy to So
ciety. This needs no proof better
than the echoes of disaster and crime,
from Rcno's brutal fight of July the

application at Reno. means, for the
contestants to cody and meditatively,

The fight at Reno was. and remains
an UNPUBLISHED crime. This is the
feeling of the majority of the Amer
lean people Why? Did not San
Francisco's mayor endorse it? Did
not an attorney Of the same city say
there was no Law against it2 Did
not Nevada's governor say there was
no law against it in his territory?
True! They did say SO. But they
were mistaken. They have either will
ingly or unthoughtedly violated
spirit and law, breathing in our every
denunciation of our citizenship. Hear
us If two men angered at each 9th
er unintentionally and before they
were aware of what they were doing
proceeded to settle the difficulty with
their fists, they would be arrested
and in all probability be fined or i'm
prisoned whether in San Francisco or
Reno. And yet upon the basis of
intent used by our courts in meas
uring the degree of crime, the little
street scrap is not to be named in
the same list With the pugiliStic en-
counters at Reno. The Reno fight is
infinitely more vicious and effective

not. California's governor needed no
