Usher, and to render his property of no value
to him, 1t abolished principle which is en-
bodied in Magma Charta, and which is as old
as Ang lO-SaXon Institutions
This principle is, that the citizen shall not
be deprived of his property without due pro-
cess OF law in the courts.
This ancient and sacred principle survived
the Civil War, and was never shaken in the
least, until the Government went after the
Louisiana Lottery.
That dangerous precedent paved the way
for all subsequent encroachments upon the
freedom OF the press, and encouraged such
KomanlstS as Gallivan and Fitzgerald to in
troduce bills whose purpose is to outlaw the
entire mass of Protestant literature.
Is it too late to appeal to the conscience of
Congress?
Is it too late for these Representatives of
the people to realize how they have disre-
gsrded the oath of Office and have dealt q
fearful blow to our constitutional liberties?
Is 1t too late for the President to retrace
his steps, and halt in his hasty rush toward
an abyss whose depths no human eve can
penetrate?
Why did he abandon the position that he
publicly took, on Feb. Goth?
He had had more than two years to DELHI
crate, before he announced himself for armed
neutrality
With whom did he consult between the
10Th of February and the 2nd day of April!
What additional and controlling facts came
into his possession?
And, above all, what powerful motive i'm
PEELED him to cut loose from our constitutional
system Of government, and to embark upon
the shoreless, uncharted sea of personalism
and miitarism?

What Are Your Natural Rights?

- ONE rights are yours, as a human being;
- others, as member of society: and the
rights which are yours By nature, should al
ways be distinguished from those which are
yours, as social unit, because society can
alter your status as a citizen, but can never
deprive you Of your rights as a human be-
ing.
To illustrate: Your right to be free, and to
be secure IN your person, your limbs and your
life, are natural rights, which society cannot
justly deprive you of; whereas, your right to
vote and held office are political p1iri7cgcS,
which can be taken away, if YOU are guilty
of certain crimes; and which you cannot ex-
ercise, until you have reached a certain age.
complied with certain legal requirements, as
to paying taxes, registering, &c.
Society can say that minor shall not vote,
OF hold office; but society cannot say that
minor shall not Hre unless that minor-ar-
rived at the years of discretion - has COM
mitted capital crime, and has been legally
convicted.
The government can say, arbitrarily. that
woman shall not vote; but it cannot arbi-
trarily say, a woman shall not Ire The vote
is political privilege, and society can give it,
or deny it; but life is natural right, and
society neither gives it, nor can take it away,
except as a penalty for heinous crime en-
dangerlng the existence of social order
Much confusion arises, because writer's and
speakers fail to recognize the distinction.
Have we reached the point where the Dec
laration of independence is reasonable doc
ument, and its circulation violation Of law?
Has President Wilson put himself in the
sovereign position once occupied by King
George Ill?
Must you and [ run the risk of the halter
and the headsman's block, by re-assrting the
doctrines which were daringly proclaimed by

necessary to enumerate the universally con-
ceded rights of freedom of speech and of
press.
These two principles, in connection with
the kindred rights of peaceable assemblace
and petition, were considered the very pillars
of republican institutions.
But after the Constitutional Convention of
1877 adjourned, and the work of the Fathers
came under discussion, it was thought best
to enumerate those English liberties which
the colonists had brought with them to this
country.
Hence the first ten Amendments adopted by
the States Immediately after the States got
in shape to act.
In the first of those Amendments, Congress
IS forbidden to make ANY LAW nbl5dqinq the
freedom Of speech or Of the press.
Congress cannot make any .uW,' to that
effect
Congress simply has no jurisdiction IN that
direction.
President John Adams, with the aid of
Alexander Hamilton, Oliver Wolcott and
other New England Federalists, tried the
temper of the country, with the alien and
sedition laws.
Mathew Lyon was sentenced to four months
in a dirty dungeon, and fine of 81 600 for
publishing defamatOry articles against the
President and the Government.
Lyon served out his term. and was elected
to Congress by an overwhelming ma jority,
q0hale he ac0s lying IN prison.
A Virginia SENATOR S. I. Mason, rode to
Vermont, horseback, carrying the gold to pay
Lyons fine; and the general feeling through
out the country was so hot against the
ADMINISTRATION press-gag, that the Federal
ist party was buried beneath an avalanche of
vOtes-never to rise again.
That was more than 100 years ago, and we
have had four wars since then; but never
until now, did an imperious President de-
mand, and servile Congress enact statute
qOhich Absolutely conferences the letter and
the spirit Of the Supreme, upohangcabzc 7a10
Of the Union.
In 1870 Congress refunded to the heirs of
Matthew Lyon the 81 900 fine, and $50 costs
that Senator Mason had paid to the Govern
ment.
The Wings and the Democrats took the
position that the press-gag law had been I'M
constitutional; and that the Z. S. Treasury
was polluted by holding money paid under
such a void law
Waddy Thompson of South Carolna-af-
forwards our Minister to Mexico-led the
fight for the Lyon heirs, and they got the
money, with more than 40 years interest, al
though Lyon himself had not paid the fine
The government monopoly of the mails
compels publishers to depend upon them for
the circulation of periodicals.
Freedom of the press, without freedom of
the mails, is the same as freedom of the air,
without lungs to breathe with: it is the same
as freedom to travel without access to the
roads.
So long as the government monopolzes the
mails, the freedom of the press is dependent
upon access to the mails.
This is SO obvious that need not elaborate

Constitution until I decide to attack it. sub
vert it, and revolutionize the government
whose fundamental principles it was meant
to perpetuate"
In other words, if Congress and the Presi-
dent can change the Constitution it is folly
to swear them to be faithful to it, as it stands.
1t it is at the mercy of Presidents and
Congresses, it is not Constitution at all. in
any true sense of the word, but q statute like
any other statute, bject to alteration when
ever the accident of politics puts into power
gust such a fearful conglomeraton as now
holds the stage.
(2) The president and Congress have
violated the plain letter of the Constitution
by using the militia for other purposes than
to the three alamed by the Supreme Law; to-
wit, to repe] invasion, suppress instruction,
and enforce the laws of the United States.
Where does the Government get the du-
thorlty TO use the militia for any other 1ou,,-
pose? =
NOfOne can say.
There is the language Of the Supreme Law,
sworn to by Congress and President, and VIC
lated with as much cynlclsm as the German
autocrats displayed, when they trampled upon
the Belgian treaty
The President in his War speech of April
2nd, spoke of the German disregard for law,
and said to mankind, that oar Government
WOULD 60 into the War and fight with proud
punctilio by the rules of civilized strife.
: Would it be out of place to first observe,
with proud punctilio, the simple and solemn
oath of office?
Would it be unbecoming, to set Germany
y good example, in the matter of honorably
living up to the Supreme treaty, between the
American people and its Federal Govern
tnent?
(8) The President and Congress have no
power to make any law which abridges the
Freedom of speech and of press.
What is the meaning of the word
Fabridge?"
The dictionaries and encyclopedias tell you
that, to abridge, means to lessen, to shorten, to
make of less extent to cut off from, to abbre-
Niate to contract, &c.
A familiar illustration is, the abridged die
tionary, as contrasted with the unabridged.
The unabridged, is the aoh0Ze thing: the
abridged, is q part of the same thing.
The Congressional Debates, in full would
hardly find room in an ordinary warehouses
but Senator Thomas II. Benton's "Ab1dge-
ment of the Debates" is work which one
shelf in the library accommodates.
Now, when the Fathers made the Consti-
tuition, they left out any statement concern
ing matters so very common and undisputed,
as freedom of speech and of press.
It did not occur to the majority of those
Fathers that the elementary doctrines of de
mocracy ever would be in danger, on this side
Of the ocean.
King George III. had not prosecuted James
Otis, Patrick Henry, and Alexander Hamil-
ton when those patriots made fiery speeches
