truth. that the right to self -govcrnment must

One of the great weaknesses OF a democracy
is that the people that flourish under it come
TO believe that liberty is insepa ra bic from the
air they breathe-that it cannot be taken
from them Citizens of democracy arc
prone to grow forgctful OF how heavy a price
has been paid for their right to govern
themselves. and to relax their grip on hard
won rights. Zcalots and dcmagogucs are
never wanting TO take advantage of any lapse
in vigilance.
During the past few weeks the people OF
this State have had brought home to them the
fact that if they want TO keep their liberties
they must stir themselves Men and women
