the past and of our ideals for the fue
ture-these are the fundamentals of
our government.
Here in America. as distinct from
czarist Russia or kaiser-Germany, we
have adopted the doctrine from our
forefathers that it is the individual in
whom all that is good must be real
lied, and that free growth of the in
dividual must be the supreme end of
a political system that must refashion
the world. AS in its essentials we ap-
proach this ideal cherished by Thorn
as jefferson, we need have no fear Of
the spread of any other doctrine,
whether it be one championed by a
few self-seekers in office. or another
thrust upon us with much noise and
little sense by mistaken zealots of this
faith or that. Such government
rests securely in the minds and tenn
per of the American people; 1t can not
be changed by pamphlets and inflam-
matory speeches; it can be changed
only when the people at the polls ex-
press desire to change it.

VIEWING WITH ALARM.

In these times of unsettled condi-

pressions of fear for the safety of our
institutions and even the government

of alarm is the following sensible edi-
torial appearing in the Detroit News:
