. LAW Of LIBERTY
A Timely Article on An Important
Subject-Self Control The Prime
Factor in Securing the Best COndi-
tiOns.
By Henry Churchill King, D. D.
President of Oberl1n College

There is a widespread menacing
endency to forget that self-control is
i prime condition of everything that
rs worth while in life. There is much
talk OF so-caIled personal liberty, that
really means liberty to make condi-
lions far harder for both personal and
social progress. 1t cannot be justly
claimed that women have a fair re-
presentation in organized society to-
Gay. 1t cannot be justly claimed that
industrial workers IN general are fair
ly sharing in the joint product Of labor
ana capital. How certainly the selfish
awlessness of the capitalistic class
fruits either in the selnSh Iawiessneos
OF other classes, or IN the determin-
alton to bring all business under STATE
control, is witnessed by the conserva-
tive Railway Age Gazette: "The real
leaders of Socialism in this country
are such men as Charles S. Mellen, 3.
f. Yoakum and the directors of the
New Haven, Frisco and other roads,
who are too crooked, coWardly, indOl-
ent or incapable to perform the duties
of their positions" Nevertheless, sell
fish force cannot bring the emancipa-
ton of any class. Not even if they
could be certainly successful in the
use of force could the emancipation SC
come. We are learning that the un-
speakable folly of war is that it set
ties nothing; that after all the fight
ing is over, the real solution must be
reached in other more rational ways
