A CONCEPTION OF LIBERTY

In the early days of the nation, when our national
government was in process Of formation. disorder broke
out IN various places, and riotinS wan common. The
leader of a New England riot, addressing his mon, said:
MY boys. you are going to fight for liberty. II you wish
to know what liberty is I will tell you. It is for every
man to do as he pleases. to make other folks do a. you
please to have them, and to keep folks from serving the
devil" =
There were no telephone exchanges in those days.
If there had been. these rioters would doubtless have
raided them II they believed 1t to be necessary in order
to keep folks from serving the devil"
Attorney General LANCER has different surroundings.
he ls the servant OF an organized commonwealth, with
an established government, and with means provided for
the orderly carrying out Of the provisions Of the law.
Yet Mr.. LANCER, in this day and age, declares himself as
regardless of law as were those men who, generations
ago, CROPPED blindly for the meaning of government. He
declares, in substance, that he has a right to suspend any
Of the particular law which. for the moment, he seeks to
exploit. Laws courts, personal rights. are nothing to
him His conception must govern, and his will 10 SUI
prems.
The telephone, according to Mr.. LANCER, was used
for the purpose Of conveying Information relating to
raids which has been made In order that other offenders
might be warned. There is no reason to doubt this.
Nor is there anything startling about the fact. But Mr..
Langers business was with those who used the telephone
for this purpose, and not with the telephone company.

communication of the people Of a city for an hour in
order that Information relating to his raids might not
be spread than he had to prevent the railroads from OPP
Grating trains to and from Minot In order that criminals
might not escape on them. Under proper legal author
ity he might, perhaps, do either. But without that au.
thority his act was an inpudent defiance Of law.

N AND PROPERTY RIGHTS

Attorney General LANCER, in attempting to justify
his course in violating ono Law In order that he might
enforce another. talks Of the difference between human
rights ana property rights. Be it known that Mr.. Langer
is q friend of the Peepul. and he doesn't cars"who knows
it. Human rights are sacred to him, and for property
rights in comparison he cares not Q a..
THIS sort Of twaddle is older than MI. Hangar. A
good many demasogues before him have talked in tho
same strain. Over and over again men Of his type make
issues Of distinctions which do not exist.
Human rights and property rights. what are they.
and what is the difference between them? The only
rights that exist. with which human beings are concerned.
are human rights. Property has no rights. 1t can have
none. Human beings have rights, and those rights cover
many fields.
Tho only thing that can be described as a property
right 10 the right Of the individual to possess property.
The property itself is insensate. And the right of the in
dividual to possess property is simply a human right. It
belongs to the individual, together with his right to life
and liberty. 1t is as sacred as either of these, for with
out it tho others would be worthless. 1t would be idle
to concede to tho individual the right to live and to move
about II we denied to him the right to possess the prop
erty necessary to his sustenance. That which lawfully
belongs to a man he has the right to use and enjoy. sub
ject to the regulations which society has found it neces-
.sary to make for the maintenance of order and the pro-
lection Of the equal rights of other persons.
It makes no difference whether this property consist

This paragraph contains the essence

hysteria or mad rush to get supplies
at any cost.

menceau says:
I'm invaded France at the present
hour there il a name which represents,
by I know not what force Of intuition.
the beauty Of Americas intervention
1t is that Of Roosevelt. You are too
much of a philosopher not to know
that great popular leaders have in
fiuenced men out of all proportion to
their own real value by the intangible
atmosphere Of legend which: with or
without their assistance, has formed
around them.
Whatever may be tho reasons and
without. attempting to analyze the
phenomenon. I yield to the imperious
need to tell you that the name Of
Roosevelt has in our country at this
time a legendary power. 1t would be
an enormous error. in my view, to
neglect q force which everything urges
us to make use Of as DON ~ possible.
I'VE have learned that the 1rst
American unit has arrived at the front.

Red Gross nurse has keen appointed

into the least possible time. by giving
two or possibly three lessons weekly.
AZ demands are made. classes for
morning, afternoon and evening work

aIsn evidenced among the women
probable that there will be q good
many Groups Of women formed for
the taking up Of this work.
In explaining the work that COM

drew attention to the fact that there

of, volunteers. The aids are as nee
essary as the Red Cross nurses, and
The work is Of q very serious and
worthy nature. Miss Mahoney drew
attention to the fact that there are
10000 deaths annually in the state
from preventable diseases, and she
felt that h course would be Of par
ticular value to home women, in the
prevention Of disease, and in pro-
noting wholesome sanitary condi-
tions In the home.
The course will include theoretical
and practical demonstrations and will
be concluded with examinations, sent
out from Washington headquarters,
which will be conducted here by a
Red Cross nurse, who has not pre-
scented the course. The successful
passing Of the examinations, which

ON WALKING

When the bicycle was at the height Of its popularity
ono OF the comic papers had a squib In which a nelshbor
was represented as asking of a fve-year-old. Can your
baby sister walk yet, Johnnie ?" WALK" responded
Johnnie. %scornfully. II should say not. She. can't even
ride a bicycle yet"
It did seem for a time as II the human race might
be about to abandon its habit of travelling on its own
feet and taking entirely to wheels. Walking seemed
In danger of becoming a lost art. Nor does there appear
to have been much of a revival OF 1t. The bicycle is less
popular than it was, but it 10 still with us, and other
means of locomoion have been added. We travel by
bicycle. and by automobile: on roller skates and in fly
ing machines. Occasionally the more daring Of US essay
a trip behind a horse, and every auto SHES at the spec
tacle. But the practice Of going for a walk seems to
have been relegated to the limbo of things.that were.
And yet, walking is good. The doctors tell US 4, 10
good for ones health. Undertaken in the right frame of
mind. and with the right surroundings, 1t is certainly
good for the spirit. Try it early in the morning, at sun
rise. while the air is chill and the sky gray. Brisk mo-
ton is needed to keep up the circulation. The air 10
clean and still. for tho wind has not yet risen Silence
reigns in the woods. The light grows stronger, and faint
twtttess are heard as birds begin to rouse themselves
from their sleep. Tho air grows warmer. and with the
warmth come faint hints Of fragrance as the dew rises
search Of food for their hungry broods. and the air is
filled with a medley Of song. And when one walks out
on such q morning, with a clear conscience and after a
good nghts sleep. he will return home with an appetite
which may remind him forcefully Of the high cost of
living. but with the conviction that life Is worth living,
no matter what the cost.
