tion because it must inevitably fol-
low political and industrial liberty.
Political liberty is the first and
most important step in the devel-
opment of a nation and is common
in all democracies. Social position
in many European lands is restrict
ed entirely to those born to the
position. Over there are many
persons who still believe that the
fact that their remote ancestors
were feudal barons absolves them
from all claims of the state; in fact,
in some countries in central Europe
and the Balkans the state acknowl-
edges the contention by supplying
the descendants of noble families
with sinecures in the shape of pub
lie Offices; in some of these states
they are given gratuities outright.
without even the pretense of work
ing for the money. While it is
beneath their dignity to work, their
peculiar code somehow enables
them to reconcile their ethics with
necessity-they do not work but
they are willing to accept and
spend the money of the workers;
they cite dead and forgotten SER
vices of doubtful value as a reason
the state should support them;
they boast of their bravery in
battles against Liberty; they claim
to know how to die; they seem to
forget that dying is not a particu-
larly difficult feat to accomplish, not
a wonderful one; they forget that
living rightly is far more diff
cult and commendable task.
True Liberty cannot be .materi-
alistic, materialism is gross, nothing
idealic is included in it's scheme.
1t concerns itself with material
progress only and, as with the in
dividual, a nation soaked in materi-
alism is nation in which every
spiritual ideal has been smothered.
Once the sense of idealic proper
ton becomes lost men descend to
the level of brutes. Surround
teeming and constantly growing
population with purely Materials
tic aims in life and they fail to see
the value of ideals. Their so-called
kultur takes the place of spiritual

false liberty it is the sham liberty
of expediency, because it is not
built upon a foundation of right.
In America all the states are equal
ly sovereign. The Federal Gov
ernment does not usurp state
rights, nor impose unequal taxa
tion as in some European countries.
What would the people of the SOW
ereign state of Minnesota think if
the national Congress were to pass
a bill providing for the special
taxation of Minnesotans. for the
making of public roads in the
state of New York? Or if our
form of government permitted
only those possessed of over ten
thousand dollars worth of property,
to vote? Or if a landed nobility
could dictate to the workers of the
country just whom they should
electg Or perhaps give them the
choice between only two men,
both equally untrustworthy from
the view point of the peoples
All through history we find the
curse of political privilege. In
olden times the political and social
aspirations of the people were fixed
at a certain limit by the few, for
the advantage of the few. In
America ones political and social
advantages, or aspirations, are only
limited by ones knowledge and
ability. The old time limitations
might have been necessary to i'm
pose upon certain people of a par
ticularly low order of intelligence,
but in Europe the limitations have
not been removed to keep pace
with the intellectual development
of these people. The laws of a
nation should apply equally to all
grades of intelligence.
Liberty has progressed much
further politically than indus
trially or socially. The two pri-
mary elements of Liberty are of a
political and industrial nature; the
social element is purely secondary.
Every indication from Europe
points to the belief that industrial
emancipation will be the next phase
of the evolution of Liberty over
there. Social liberty is only of
secondary importance in this evolu.

WHAT DID you?

When the war has been won,
When our duty is done,
When our sailors come sailing the foam;
When our men Of the air,
And the guns over there
All the nation is welcoming home;
They will come to your door,
The young winners of war,
They will look you UP, and through,
And in word, or in thought,
They will ask, like as not;
swell. we did quite lot
What did you?"
!. When the years have gone by,
And the pages are dry
That the story of struggle record;
With democracy sure,
When we're living secure
In the strength of our soul and your sword
In that glorious time
To our knee there will climb
Then boy, or girl. or the two,
And will say, 'Some were brave
On the land and the wave,
Some their everything gave
What did youa"
Or it might be at night
You will sit by the light
Of fire in home that is free.
You will sit all alone
Meath roof of your own
In some year of the future to be,
And voice down inside
Will say, ''Some of them died,
Or suffered their duty to do,
And the ones who could not
Give their all gave a lot,
Gave their money-say, what,
What did you9"
