This wealth has come through

The first intent of the congress is
to bring about federation Of the

TIME modern nation is totally
different thing from the an
Gent empire or the medieval
monarchy.
The idea of the king or monarch
was that he was the viceroy of
Deity. This kind brooked no rivals.
The interests or rights Of other ma
tons were never considered
neither were the rights of indi-
viduals.
The court of the king was as
splendid as he could make it, and
his palace as sumptuous as he
could afford The limit of his mag
nifcence was his ability to tax the
people, and the extent of his power
was his ability to subjugate. An
army of trained lighting men. ready
to use at any moment, was needed.
First, he must be able to sup
press any possible revolt at home
Second, he must at all times re-
veal glamour and splendor that
would excite both the adulation and
the fear Of his subjects.
Third, he must be able to fight
off foreign foe.
Fourth, he must be able to take
advantage of any opportunity that
might occur to acquire new terri
tory should any rival kingdom re-
veal a weakness.
Today. the strength. prosperity
and perpetuity of nation does not
turn on its ability to fight, but on
it's ability to render a service to
other nations.
1t is productive skill that counts,
not destructive ability.
The army of the modern state is
a medieval appendenda vermifor-
mis- 1t is the most costly and flu
tile item in the government "over-

in point of national health-and the
chief cause for dread as disturber
of our national peace.
Nations today are interdepend-
ent. Each one fulfins certain
economic purpose. Permanent
prosperity for all nations turns on
permanent peace.
our solicitude is for the happi
ness and prosperity of the indi-
vidual, not the ambition of the So
called rulers.
And happiness, health and pros
perity for individuals demand dis

TF newspaper men were subject
to governmental prosecution
and possible Imprisonment for
every honest mistake they might
make in their criticism of an ad-
ministration, the government would
soon cease to be democratic.
Few journalists would be found
to take the inevitable chances of
error and of the failure of their
witnesses. The lure of the finan-
cial and social rewards of the news
paper business would lie altogether
on the side of a studied sycophancy
in the praise and promotion of the
political pawns as they exist, and
the money pawns that stand back
of them.
There would be but short run
back to that political absolutism-
that worship of power in spite Of
every defect of title-from which
modern society has so painfully
emerged
Shall we say, then, that the thing
to do is to declare for absolute
freedom of speech and print. and
to go abroad through the land stir
ring men UP to flaming indignation
against every restriction of tongue
or pen?
l heard brilliant man make
speech to this effect at club din
ner of literary men in New York
the day.
The speaker called himself an
anarchist indeed. but his doctrine
was not so very different from that
expounded so classically by John
Milton in his famous essay ION
the Liberty of Unlicensed Print
ing.
And it was hardly to be distin-
guished from notion entertained
by many scholastic people concern
ing what they call the rights of
academic freedom.
1t is said by these theorists that
teachers in colleges-if they will
but invoke the sacred names of art
and science-ought to be permitted
without hindrance or accountable
ty to say anything they please.
Now. this freedom to say any
thing one pleases-in well en-
dowed moral vacuum-may be an
academic ideal But to practical
men it has always seemed too aca-
demic
And modern society is likely in
accordance with its own genius, to
become not less but more insistent
In holding people responsible for
what they say.

mans responsibility for his uttered
word. And in general, as human
relations become more delicate and
intricate in their adjustment, words
acquire a prodigious power to hurt
or help.
1t might be safe to set down the
rule, Professionally, that it should be
lawful for a man to propose and
recommend by speech and print the
doing of anything that 1t is lawful
to do. Thus it should. of course, be
crime to advise the commission
of crime.
And it should be unlawful to use
words in such manner as tends to
subvert the meaning and purpose
of the law.
But such precepts need to be
pressed closer home before they
can amount to much as working
principles.
We need to clear our minds as to
what is the genius and spirit of
modern law before we can judge
what kind of speech should be con-
demned as Hbellous or against pub
lie policy
Now the actual social order In
America is industrial and is based
on property rights.
This is working society and its
master aim is to put the people in
possession of the materials Of ex-
istence. This aim is not to be
thought of as necessarily sordid.
for the process of earth subdual
and material production is seen to
involve the fine goods of art and
all the spiritual issues. Therefore.
it is not and should not be lawful
in America for a man to use his
tongue or pen to destroy rights OF
property SO far as they are genuine
and legitimate rights.
Speech and the press can not be
too free or too bold in attacking
ostensible property rights that are
not authentic.
The whole battle for freedom Of
utterance is likely TO be waged
around the question of the authen-
ITCHY Of certain contestible prop
erty rights.
When the battle is over we shall
probably settle down to the general
conviction that property is inviola-
Bile whatever it's amount in the
hands Of an Individual, so long as
the manner Of its use and tenure
tends to ditfuse property through
out the whole community. and that
otherwise it has no legitimacy.
A man may be as rich as he can,
if his being rich helps to make
everybody else rich. But IL his
riches make the community poor he
will be fair game for anybody with
harbed tongue or a trenchant
pen.
