This picture Of the liberator Of North

Of the northern half of the South Amer1-
can continent. He not only freed his
own country, Venezuela from Spain, but
performed a like service for Colombia.
Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. AS the man
who is responsible for five Fourth OF
Julys" he Is deservedly popular with
the Latin American small boy and there
are few historical characters who can
boast so proud record.
The Liberator. as he was justly desig-
mated, took up the unfinished task thus
far SO actively carried on by Miranda
He had been the close associate OF this
patriot. and from him inherited an in
extinguishable ambition for his country's
freedom. He. too, was born to wealth
and travelled abroad, where. incidentally,
he was the hero of an adventure that.
in view of subsequent events. might be
taken as prophetic.
While in Madrid as a child he had
been invited to play with the Crown
Prince Ferdinand The two boys quar-
relied over their game of battledore and
shuttlecock. and In the fracas young
Bolivar landed on the royal head with
his bat. This was 'lese majestic" with
vengeance and high crime. but, to
the credit OF Queen Marie Louise, Ferdi-
nand's mother. the young Venezuelan
was not punished-that is, officially.
What his own parents did to him for
his act history does not relate. In after
years Bolivar made much more trouble
for this same Ferdinand when he occu-
pied the throne.
Bolivar was only about twenty-six
years old when he began the campaign

preached, at first incomprehensible to his
fellow countrymen: so his efforts failed.
He fed to France. where his military
training soon found him q place in an
other revolutionary army. and In time
he became q general Of division under
Napoleon
After many vicissitudes of fortune he
returned again to the United States to
begin anew his efforts In behalf Of the
cause Of liberty in Venezuela This
cause had already gained much ground
throughout all Of South America, so Mi
randa found many eager spirits anxious
to join him. In fact, a mob in Caracas
drove the Spanish governor to the coast.
where he sought refuge on board a
French man-of-war. and, rid Of this au-
thority. the people called Miranda to be
the provisional president OF the republic
But his triumph was short lived. The
King OF Spain dispatched fleet and an
army to subdue the revolving colony. In
this he was curiously enough greatly aid
ed by an earthquake. The terrestrial
convulsion destroyed the city of Caracas
and buried some twelve thousand people
including whole regiment of the patriot
army. Many of the leaders in the revo-
lutionary cause persisted, and those who
remained could put up but a poor fight
against the veterans OF Spain.
Miranda was betrayed. made prisoner.
and taken to the Island of Ceuta, oppo-
site Gibraltar. there confined in an un-
derground dungeon till he died a few
years later. His body was cast to the
sharks. This was the unfortunate end

uously from the painting in Caracas is

relates that in 1876 Bismarck's plans for
state railroad ownership were condemned
as "socialistic," although now state rail-
roads are regarded matter of course.
The extreme demands of today are the
commonplaces of tomorrow. The coming
state will not hesitate to control the dis
posal Of private property. 1t will even
go SO far as to instruct rich individuals
invest their wealth. The state will i'm
pose heavier and heavier taxes on the
rich; and the rich may threaten to evade
the states demands by investing their
wealth abroad, or by taking themselves
and wealth together out of Germany.
Wagner declares that the state has a
right to forbid this 1t will forbid the
investing of capital abroad, and will even
punish as criminals men who break its
rules. This means also that the state will
forbid it's own citizens to emigrate, or to
change their citizenship, and from these
extreme measures Wagner does not
shrink.
The conservative "chair socialist state
which Wagner foresees will naturally
make war on orthodox socialist doctrine
and defend monarchy, army and church.
But that will not prevent 1t from Dor
rowing the favorite clothes of the so
cialists.. Wagner stands here for the eX-
preparation of private enterprises to the
state. He prefers, he says. the state as
monopolist to the private corporation az
monopolist. The state and the munich
pality will take over enterprises freely
the moment they see the threatening of
any public or private interest. In the
competence of the state to work any
business efficiently Wagner does not
doubt. He even goes farther than some
German socialists who lately have made
peace publicly with the conception OF the
private ownership of industries.
Wagner goes as far as the EXTREMIST
socialists when he promulgates the idea
OF the tax" Tax in the European
continental sense. is not an impost levied
for revenue. 1t is the fixing of prices by
public authority. combined with the i'm
position Of penalties on all who demand
higher prices than the tax Wagner
holds that the coming universal state will
regulate competition and prevent abuses
by adopting this drastic expedient. The
state, for instance, will not tolerate gam
bling in food prices. 1t will simply de-
termine and proclaim the prices at which
the main necessaries Of life may be sold.
There are difficulties. says Wagner. But
the fixing Of prices is essential II the
general scheme of state interference Is
to work tremendously.

apropos of the new tariff:
IT listens good. as the slang phrase
goes, but will il listen good TO the very
end? Won't the end be dismal sur
prise, like the tale of the lost coat?
A country minister, driving to church
with his new overcoat on the seat beside
him, lost the coat en- route and announc-
ed his loss from the pulpit
Dearly beloved he said. I met with
sad loss this morning. Somewhere on
the River road. while driving to church,

trine For instance, DIR. Goeren, prom
inent member OF the Imperial League
Against Socialists, demands that the uni
versal state shall take questions .. iri-
vate morality into its competence That
will be the only way OF regulating the
baseness and excuses OF a commercial
age" The state ought not only to pun
ish crimes which injure the public. or
threaten it's security: 1t ought also dras-
tically to punish private Wickedness such
as ingratitude lack of respect for par
ents, and so on. THE state must not be
content to punish the man who steals. 1t
must punish the man who refuses to help
a former benefactor. The state must be-
vision of the existing state Ii must cease
merely regulating matters which come
automatically to its cogniZance as public
authority. 1t must make it it's function
to watch, discover and eradicate ILL.,
i i
That is the ideal of the universal state.
Naturally its opponents are as convinced
as its propagandsts. A prominent OPP
ponent is Prof. Ludwig Bernhard. who
teaches political science at Berlin Unit
versity, and who has just issued a book
on THE Undesirable Results" which are
the fruits of too much state meddling.
Prof Bernhard fOreSees a doleful age
when Germans will be will-less tools. He
declares that state tutelage and popular
pupilage are in5uring the national fiber,
and making the people dishonest. feeble
and false. Already, he says, state med
ding has gone to extremes. Officials
compete in their zeal to issue new regu-
lations: factory workmen have their
every step regulated, and are so over
whelmed with prohibitions that they now
assume a right TO do everything which
the state does not specifically forbid. The
results are multiplication of bureaucrats.
confusion Of authority. endless litigation
over the rights, duties and competence
of officials, and a sapping of the public
fiber. The multiplication of officials,
other critics complain, diminishes the
productive forces of the nation. German
coal mines have attached 10 them five
times as many state officials as have
American coal mines. and four times as
many as English coal mines Altogether,
state railway servants and mu-
nicipal officials and workmen, there are
nearly 100000 Germans I'm public en-
ployment, and only q small proportion
of them are engaged In productive work.

the decay OF nineteenth century individ-

and mandatory legislation which is now
fashionable on European soil.

that colony.
OF course, Colombia as it exists today
was unknown. 1t remained for Bolivar
to bring this nation into being. But his
native land had first call on his services.
Pushing overland, the young patriot soon
found himself at the head of consider
able force, with which he captured Ca
racas after several hard-fought engage
ments.
In the beginning the record Of his mill
tary career exhibited as many ups and
downs as the temperature chart of ty-
phoid patient, but eventually he found
time to leave Venezuela and push the
cause Of liberty in other Spanish colonies
Colombia celebrates the 10th of June
as Independence day, and red fire burns

1t was Bolivar who won for Colombia
her independence, so 1t is altogether fit
ting that that nation should also honor
the memory Of the Liberator by making
the day Of his birth a national holiday
