The Highest Courage.

The Highest Courage.
"Now I coTet for america this splen-
did courage of reserve moral force
and I wanted to point out to you gen
tlemen simply this: There is news
and news. There is what is called
news from Turtle bay that turns out
to be falsehood; at any rate in what
it is said to signify, and witch, if you
could get the nation to believe it true,
might disturb our equilibrium and our
self-possession. We ought not to deal
in stuff of that kind We ought not
to permit things of that sort to use
up the electrical energy of the wires,
because its energy is malign, its en-
ergy is not of the truth, its energy is
of mischief. 1t is possible to sift
through them.
81 nave known some things to go
out on the wires as true when there
was only one man or one group Of
men who could have told the origi-
nators of the report whether it was
true or not, and they were not asked
whether it was true or not, for fear it
might not be true. That sort of re-
port ought not TO go out over the
wires.
There is generally, if not always,
somebody who knows whether that
thing is so or not and in these days
above all other days, We ought to take
particular pains to resort to the one
small group of men Or to the one
man, if there be but one, who knows
whether those things are true or not,
The, world ought to know the truth,
but the world ought not at this period
of unstable equilibrium to be dis
turbed by imaginative combinations OF
circumstances, or rather by circum-
stances stated in combination which
DO not belong IN common.
Hold the Balance.
"For you are l3olding now, I believe,
you and gentlemen engaged like you,
the, balance in your hand. This un-
stable equilibrium rests upon scales
that are in your hands. For the food
of opinion, as I began by saying, is
the news of the day. I have known
many man go off at tangent on
information that was not reliable. II.
deed, that describes the majority OF
men. Tie world is held stable by the
man who waits for the next day to
find out whether the report was true
or not.
eve can not afford, therefore, to let
the rumors of irresponsible persons
and origin get into the atmosphere
of the United States. We are trus-
tees for what I venture to say is the
greatest heritage tnat any nation ever
had the love of justice and right
eousness and human liberty, for fun
damentally those are the things to
which America is addicted and to
which she is devoted. There are
groups of selfish men in the United
States, there are coteries where sin
lister things are purposed, but the
great heart of the American people is
just as sound and true as it ever was.
And it is single heart; it is the heart
of America. 1t is not r1eart made up
of sections selected out of other coun-
tries.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.

ton is loaded to the guards with spe-
cial privileges. The burden is crush
ing the life out of the producing
forces Of the world and the cries of
the crushed are mounting to heaven,
but fall on deafened ears here on
earth.
Among the minor special privileges
that tend to constant increase is the
making of class of pensioned public
officials. The latest proposition of
this sort is that to pension our worn
out judges.
If government by the people shall
be preserved and perfected the aboli-
ton of all kinds of special privilege
must come, and our laws must be
made, so that every human being
shall have equal freedom and equal
opportunity. Government machinery
should bear equally upon all. Gov

should be the portion of every citi-
zen. Every human being should have
an equal opportunity to participate
in all the benefits and in all the social
advantages of civilized society.
These conditions demand the abo-
ition of poverty. Any pension law
that does not include every human
being violates justice.
The broken-down workingman or
woman is entitled to pension as well
as the judge or the policeman or the
soldier. But our unrighteous system
of land holding and taxation, which
gives the few special privileges to
prey upon the many and puts the bur-
den of maintaining our governments
upon the producing forces and which
gets it's revenue mainly from labor
and labor products, stands in the way
of reform.
If it we're changed so that monop-
oily would bear the burden and cap
ital and labor be free from toll we
would have sufficient public revenue
to pay all the expenses of all public

surplus large enough to give every
needy human being pension.
The fundamental democracy pro-
posed by Henry George, If adopted
and enforced in its fullness and integ-
rity by an enlightened people, will in
reality abolish all taxes. 1t would
abolish all inequality and all special
privilege. 1t would establish social
conditions so just, so righteous and
so free that people would laugh to
scorn the idea of pensioning anybody.
For there would be no one on earth
that would~need it.
Workingmen! While you are get
ting short breathing spells in your
fight against monopoly for existence,
why not look into fundamental de-
mocracy as a remedy which will give
you lasting peace and equal freedom?

What did this county send women
