Back TO FIRST PRINCIPLES

MOSES the Hebrew lawgivcr was a con-
W. structivc statesman of very high order
of ability for the age in which he lived. The
plan of government he formulated to pre-
serve the Hebrew race as q nation Of "pccu-
liar people" with great future was founded
upon certain fundamental principles which
are basic lin all good governments subse-
qucntly established. IN the Mosaic code is
noted this specific comm and with respect to
husbandry: Thou shalt not thy vine
yard with divers seeds les, the fruit OF
thy seed which thou hast sown and the fruit
OF thy vineyard be dehlod. Thou shalt not
pillow with an and together
The principle here Cnurciated rs appli-
cable to plant life applies with like force to
individual and national life: and as national
life, especially under Il republican form of
government, owes its direction to political
parties. it essentially applies TO party organ
1zations. In individual life must have
clear ideas OF right ard wrong adherng 10
the one and rejecting the other. to develop
wcll-rounded character. Likewise, nations
must observe 4 sacred regard for the funda-
mental principles which brought their form
of government into being in order to safe
guard its existence and diffuse its blessings.
These said Thomas Jefferson in cnumcrat-
ing the essential principles Of our republican
government. should be the creed Of our
political faith. the text Of civic instruction,
the touchstone by which to try the services
or those we trust: and should wander
from them in moments of error or OF alarm.
let us hasten TO retraCc orr steps. and to
regain the road which alone leads to peace
liberty and safety"
The archives Of history are filed with tho
records Of dead nations which "sowed divers
seeds of poisonous doctrines among the

viEor of the nation.

VIC are pleased to term party misfortunes
invariably have their origin in failure to live
up TO the principles they profess and in non
luihllment OF promises which found favor
with the majority of voters. This furnishes
the explanation OF the recent loss of Con-
gress by the Democrats after enjoying long
lease of power. The party was displaced be-
