THE TYRANNY OF THE
 MAJORITY.

More than 80 years ago the most profound of all students of Ameri- can institutions, Alexis de Tocque- vile, wrote this warning:
 of ever the free institutions of America are destroyed that event may be attributed to the competence of the majority which may at some future time urge the minority to- desperation and oblige them to have recourse to physical force. Anarchy will then be the result, but it will have been brought about by despot- ism
 hnd further:
 "When I refuse to obey an anjust law I do not contest the right of the majority to command, but l simply appeal from the sovereignty of the people to the sovereignty of man kind. Some have not feared to as- sert that people can never over step the boundaries of justice and reason in those affairs which are peculiarly it's own; and that, con sequcntly, full power may be given to the majority by which they are represented. But this is the language of the slave.
 "A majority, taken collectively, is only an individual whose opinions and frequently whose interests are opposed to those of another individ- ual who is styled q minority. If it be admitted that man possessing ab- solute power may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should not majority be liable to the same reproach? Men do not change their characters by uniting with each other, nor does their pa tience in the presence of obstacles in- crease with their strength
 These words are worth recalling at time when the popular tendency toward repression is stronger than il has ever been before in the United States. Having destroyed personal liberty by means of prohibition, we are now engaged in destroying the bill of rights.
 X There is no freedom of speech or of the press left except by consent of government. Police authority everywhere is denying to small min orities whose doctrines are unpopu- lar the right of free speech. The spostoffice department, under author. ity of congress. proscribes newspap- CTS whose political and economic policies are regarded as obnoxious by the postmaster general. A police 5department that recognizes the right of assemblage in the case or minori- ties tainted with radicalism is held to be not only incompetent. but defi- cient in patriotism. The New York police ons Christmas day attempted to maintain the weird and wonder ful theory that while the right of petition might be tolerated on Sixth avenue, it is flagrantly illegal on Fifth avenue.
 sS Plainly, the American people are getting away from first principles. They are forgetting their traditions and losing sight of their ancient shndmarks. All the radical agitators in the country can never do half SC much harm to democratic institutions as an inflamed public sentiment IS de- ing when it sustains the attacks the various agencies of government are making against the guarantees of the bill of rights and of individual freedom.-N York World.
