For Free Intellectual Life.
But tin, intellectual life is itself a
product. 1t thrives only under pecu-
liar condN ions, and one of the indis-
pensable conditions is freedom. The
intellectual life can prosper only
where libe9'ty of conscience and of
thinking ara cherished. 1t has seem
ed to some among us that of late our
American life has drifted too strongly
toward pateinalism. Possibly this
drift has been caused in part by the
inconvenience and dangers of social
disorder and anarchistic propagan anda.
But let us not Yin our war upon these
perils forget HIat. while they may
violently destroy. paternalism viii in
evitably stifie and in time will kill
all spontaneity and outreaching of the
human intellect.
Americanism then at last comes
down to this. We Want an Americanism
that will produce men and women
that are not only .self-reliant in the
practical sense: butt who also are self
reliant. strong. ouheaching. fearless
creative in the spiritual sense: and
such men and WON Ell can live and do
their part in the wolld if we have a
particular kind of law and particu-
lar kind of liberty. a, liberty king
law and law abiding liberty. Like
the Pilgrims and the Puritans who
created our institutions, like the pa
troit, who made us an Independent ma
tion. like the men who saved and con-
solidated our Union and like fae men
who now have given their lives to
save the whole fabric of civilization,
we must continue to make and to
sa feguard such law and such liberty

Orderly Amendment of Law.

He must understand that America n
liberty is a lawful libesty and that IN
America we amend law not by vlo-
lence but by due process OF law. Ihe
American therefore may not say with ,
out qualification. as the more radlcal
among US have been asserting. that
"self-government at it's worst Is
better than autocratie government
its best" Self-government is an op :
portunity without which individual
self-control and public responsibility
cannot arise. much less develop; but
unless they do arise and develop. self
government. so far from being better
than autocracy at it's best. is quite
as bad as autocracy at its worst.
When self government degenerates
into violence or any other sort of law
lessness. it is as despicable. outra-
geous and destructive as any other
tyranny Murder by a lynching mob
is no better than murder by the Sc
c-etly instructed agent of czar.
Looting, burning, and manning by

people, is not ethically preferable to
