TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Difference Between Governments Of
Greece and Rome and Those of
the Gothic Tribes.

There was this radical difference be-
tween the governments of Greece and
Rome and those of the Gothic tribes.
In the former the state was every
thing, the individual nothing; the
state was thought to have a perfect
right to the property, liberty, and
even life. of its citizens. In the lat
ter the individual was everything and
the state comparatively nothing; all
rights were thought to exist, to inhere
by nature In the individual; and the
state could demand nothing from him
for public use without giving him an
equivalent Here we find the funda-
mental principle of civil liberty; that
principle which has been so carefully
guarded in the English and in all the
Anglo-American constitutions. and
which was so happily and tersely ex-
pressed by Jefferson in the Declaration
of Independence. Our rude Saxon an
cestors. though under a kingly govern
ment, had more real liberty, and a
more just appreciation of the true dig
nifty of man, than had the polished cit
liens of the republics of the Mediter-
ranean. The legislative authority was
vested in the witenage-mote, or assem-
bly, of wise men.-Dexter A. Hawkins.

his injuries. Since then one of the

II Is stated that some years ago,
when an old window shutter of the six

was discovered pushed into the wall
between the joists of the skirting. and
