Civil Government
az M. LeATHERMAN

Civil government has TO do with
civil conduct only, and in its pnrest
manifestations il will be guided by
fundamental principals OF justice.
Justice being no respector of per.
! sons, for it is of God, grants 10 every
individual equal privileges, and places
upon them the same restraints.
When this condition prevails in
government, whether it be monari'
chal or democratic; the people OF
snch 4 nation can not do otherwise
than prosper and enjoy the blessings
of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit OF
! Happiness" But when these condi.
tons are wanting, injustice and con-
sequcnt inequality of privileges and
benefits are manifest, producing con-
! tention, unrest and all the train of
evils that so seriously affects the
/ stability OF civil government and
, illustrates its purpose. and sooner
or later results in rejustment to
! fundamental justice, either by poll
! teal action or by that more serious
and cruel method, civil war. Any
undue restraint exercised without
adequate basis in fundamental jus
tice is tyranny and can only result
in the final overthrow of govern
menr or the altering OF its policies
by those instruments always in the
hands OF the people, viz: Political
action or revolutionary violence.
In cases where injustice prevails
10 an unbarable degree, political ac-
ton is preferable as means OF re-
adjustment, but it often has been
necessary to apply the less preferable
mel hod-civil strife with revolution
AIRY intent. \ ease TO the point is
the revolutionary wa: 'esultng in
the final establishment OF the United
States. which, with its superb con.
stitution, fortifies in original justice
and eternal right the equality of all
men. | am fully aware OF the fact
that there are those who deny the
principle laid down in the Dcclara-
ton OF Independence that all men
are created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty. and the pursuit OF
happiness; that. TO secure these
