SELF RESTRAINT.

A number Of countries have
copied our constitution with
provision that the constitutional
guarantees may be suspended In
case Of necessity. We are all
familiar with the result. The
guarantees of liberty, justice and
order have been forgotten. The
government is dictatorship, and
the popular will Is expressed only
by revolution. Religion, the phi
losophy of morals, the teaching
OF history. the experience OF ev-
cry human life. point to the same
coDclusion--that In the practical
conduct of life the most dificult
and the most necessary virtue
is self restraint It is needed
more by men acting in nasB than
by individuals, because men In
the mass are more irresponsible
and difficult Of control than In
dividuals. The makers Of our
constitution, Wise and earnest,
students Of history and OF life,
discerned the great truth that
self restraint IL the supreme NO
cessity and the supreme virtue
Of democracy. The people Of the
United States have exercised
that virtue by the establishment
OF rules OF action in what we
call the limitations Of tha con-
stitution, and until this day they
have rigidly observed these rules.

Thick wall or moated gate;

Not starred and spanHled courts
Where low-browed baseness

No! Men, high-minded men,
With powers as far above dull

In forest, brake or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks

Men who their duties know

If this country is to endure and

would seem, is in the plan of an all
wise Providence, that destiny mus t
rest for its foundation upon the
manhood of the American people as
whole. 1t is American manhood
that has made this country what
it is today and it must be Ameri-
lean manhood that will carry it on
to ever greater achievement. ;
1t is in the power Of the people
to make this nation what they will.
1t is - therefore Of vital Importance
to the welfare and even the life Of
the Republic that the great masses
of the people be possessed of a high
order of intelligence and imbued
with patriotic devotion to the best
interests of their country in order
that we may, at all times be con-
trolled by intelligence and wisdom,
rather than by ignorance, passion
or prejudice.
From the beginning, this country
has never been without it's serious
problem. There have even been
times when the very existence of
our national government was
threatened. This government has
serious problems now to meet and
determine and the future will, al
wsys bring its problems which
will test the strength of character
of the American People. If this
government is ever not all that it
should be, there is but one method
Of remeding the de feet and that is
high standard of citizenship, which
we in this country have the power
of establishing for ourselves,
The right solution of all vital
problems which may ever confront

Christian era. before thought
that the earth was round seized

trepid characters thought that
impelled the discovery of this
mighty continent. Nearly three
centuries more elapsed before the
people Of this new world were
ready to proclaim and receive the
message o. the Declaration of In.
dependence, These great acts of
history show that Mans progress
and development for centuries in
the past. was painfully slow. 1t
was a progress of gradual evolu-
tion. 1t was slow and steady
struggle from darkness into light.
We are still very far from seeing
the sunlight Of mans perfection at
its zenith; but his progress has been
faster, steadier and surer, since
the establishment of this govern
ment, than it ever was in the his
tory Of the world before.
Th great soul and spirit of the
Declaration was the equality of
man-in his status before the law,
equality in opportunity for his own
greatest individual achievement.
The Declaration was the death
warrant of the fallacy of divine
right Of kings to hold in very bond
age subjects from whom obedience
and submission was the alpha and
omega of duty.
The Declaration has not only had
its effe ct upon the people of this
continent, but it has had it's inf1u-
ence upon the world at large. so
that today the blessings of liberty
and individual opportunity are en-
joyed to a much larger extent in
many countries outside of America,
than would have been the case,
were it not for the precept and ex-
ample of this republic. In this con-
nection, it is to be noted that the
fundamental principals enunciated
in the Declaration of independence
are Of general application and ap-
ply to the world at large, as fast as
! advancing civilization makes any
people capable of enjoying, without
abusing, the blessings of free gov
ernment. These primo nciples are a
beacon light of hope to strug-
Cling humanity everywhere, and
point the way to the ultimate
achievement, at some future time,
of universal liberty.
The history of this nation, dur
ing the comparatively brief time
that has elapsed since its birth, has
been one of unprecedented progress
and development. The worlds CIV
ilization has advanced more during
this short time, than durng all the
centuries of recorded history pre-
ceding, and this great advance has
been due in large measure to the
IeaveDing influence Of this mighty
nation of freemen.
We have acquired wealth and
power until today we are the fore
most nation on earth. But wealth
and power bring proportionste re-
sponsibilities 1t is said that:
ut is great to have the strength of
giant. a.
But it is tyrannous to use it as u
giant"
So far We have not abused our
power, and i have such faith in the
American conscience, that I do not
believe It ever will be abused.
While we view with pride and
satisfaction that in our influence
upon the other great world powers,
we have unselishly sought to pro
mote the cause Of international
Righteousness.
1t is q source of pride to every
patriotic American that we bave

held in the Opera House last night
were much appreciated by repre-
sentative audience of Elko citizens.
The usual commencement exercises
were held. and every number in the

ever heard in Elko. The address

along with such other matters per-

Judge Gorcross said:-

Every revolution" says Emer-
son Twas first thought in one
mans mind, ard when that same
thought occurs to another man, it is
the key to that era. Every reform
was once a private opinion. and
when it shall be private opinion
again, it will solve the problem of
the age"
What mind first conceived the
idea of universal liberty? Amid
the gloomy centuries of universal
absolutism, to what soul did that
thqggkA first come like a flash
of inseSfing light? We know not.
All that we know is that the
thought was born, that it develop

divine rightsof kings. That tyran-
ny and oppression only served to
fluctify the seed of liberty. and
little by little it grew out Of the
. shadSf into the bright sunlight Of
freedom and the bloom of liberty
was a reality.
h When we view the centuries pre-
ceding the birth of this republic
and contemplate mans social and
political evolution, the thought is
