Migration of Negroes Southwark
Starts.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May %.
Nearly a score of negroes have
returned to Hattiesburg within
the past week after a brief So
journ in the North. Leaders
among the negroes take this to
indicate that there will be a
strong migration back south of
the prodigals now in the North.
According to reports brought
back by the negroes. they re-
ceived. higher wages in the North,
but were obliged to pay relative
ly higher prices for everything.
Cold weather also was another
hardship. Scores, they say,
died every week this spring from
diseases contracted during the
unreasonable spring weather.

WHAT AMERICA IS FIGHTING FOR.
d., UN1;l,,, Dat

It is plain to the thoughtful OBJ
server that at the bottom the world
conflict is between two opposing
principles of organization of civil So
ciety. 1t is between the principle OF
government by divine right with the
subordination of individual liberty to
the forces that maintain autocracy
and the principle of individual liberty
with the organization of government
for the preservation of that liberty up
on the basis of popular authority The
conflict is the result of forces might
Ter than the will of any nation which
in the providence of God have brought
this people to the point where once
again they are required to fight, at the
sacrifice of comfort and ease and prop
erty and life, for the institutions that
they cherish, for the liberty they are
determined to maintain, and for the
Justice which they hope to hand down
to their children.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1917-10-17
LIBERTY AND AUTHORITY,

Liberty, just so far restrained as
the good of humanity may require,
is an ideal form of government.
Authority, extended beyond the
wishes and contrary to the desires
of humanity, is despicable despotism.
In Russia, newly-born liberty rec
ognized no restraints, and toddled
for time close to the dangerous
abyss of anarchy.
In Germany, an inhuman autocracy
in the guise of authority has fastened
its fangs into an intelligent and
naturally kind hearted people, and
has compelled them to enter the abyss
of terrible cruelty and frightful de-
pravity.
Democracy, the rule of the majority
restrained by wise constitutions and
limitations, is a wise and just rule,
and this war must continue until this
old world is a safe place for that
form of government.
