WHAT TO FEAR.

I'm the war measures enacted by Con /
gress. care has been taken to put in
the provision that the extraordinary
powers conferred should be in force
only during the period of the war. The
executive department of the national
government has been clothed with great
cr authority, in the regulation and con
troll Of private affairs. than ever before
i'm the history of the United States. In
their effect these measures have placed
the resources of the country at the pres
ijeut IS disposal. Men, money and ma
terial have been made subject to his
order The proclamation of martial law
could hardly do more than. the special
legislation of Congress has done. 1t is
marvellous that the American people
have so willingly put aside all their
( ideas about individual liberty and have
So patiently submitted to iutcrferences
+ and restraints upon those privileges
which have. from the foundation Of the
republic, been regarded as inalienablc.
/ Behind all this there is feeling of
conscious power, Of ability to bring
about a restoration of these privileges
at any time when it is the viii of the
people that it should bee done. In the
unprecedented extension of executive
\ AUTHORITY, there is no intention of a
permanent REIMBURSEMENT Of sovereign
\ ty to one man or group of men. 1t is
the collective will of the people put
into action for the accomplishment of
a collective purpose. Although the ac-
ton has ncccssitated the taking Owen
of many Of the disagreeabIe attributes
of autoeracy, it has no part or lot with
kaiserism.
In spite Of the danger signals that
have been put out, the fear lest the PEG
Pile Of the country may fall into The
kaiser habit is not warranted by tn,
manifestations of the present time
Much more to be feared is the spread
of the notion, that was expressed il
the Massachusetts constitutional conven
ton, that "the people are entitled t,
| get what they want. when they wan
! it. - Such an expression carries with i
J the idea that there is creative power il
laws; that prosperity and progress cal
be attained by fats of legislatures an,
congresses. that a government can over
| rule the play of natural forces so tina
each individual member of such a gov
eminent win be able to have his person
al desires satisfied.
This is a notion that is quite prev
alcnt at the present time among cel
tain groups Of people who have bee
carried away by Utopian dreams Of tn
possibility of organizing society in sue
a way that man no longer will be unde
the necessity Of earning his bread b
I the sweat of his brow. Under sue
- schemes the fruits of hard work an
self-dcnial are to be east into a commo

dreamers, filed up with Marxism, hay
an idea that they could do better tina

The Rutland Rally.
(Randolph Herald and News.1

TKandoIph HeraTd and NeWs.)
The Rutland patriotic rally was an
impetus to effort Well conceived and
carried out, it achieved the desired pur-
pose. The hundreds who attended were
reawakened and carried home a stimu-
lus bound to spread and deepen in every
locality. There may be signs of dis
loyalty, of weakening in the face of the
great task undertaken, in some parts of
the cOntry-there is none in Vermont.
The heart Of the Green Mountain state
beats true to the cause. With its pur-
pose once formed, nothing can swerve
it. Our citizenship needs only the oc-
easional inspiration that comes from
such gatherings as the Rutland meeting.
