Wise and patriotic men of all po-

scious OF the fact that we stand at

that the abolition Of the autonomy
of the state means the destruction
of the liberty of the citizen and Of
the life of the republic.
For a century after the adoption
OF the constitution sages and pa
triots stood watch and guard against
the imminent and admitted peril Of
federal aggression.
Let there be no changes by usurp-
alton, said Washington. for this,
though It may In one instance be
the instrument OF good, is the ordi-
nary weapon by which free gov
ernments are destroyed.

Lodge, founded a limited govern

man." and after 1900 years they
make the sovereignty OF the citizen
the cardinal principle OF all gov
ernment. To this principle is due
that high sense Of personal honor,
that deep sense of personal obliga-
tion, that superb resourcefulness,
and that marked and unique irriivid-
uality hitherto unknown among the
children OF men.

Apostles of Freedom.
At last, wearied by century Of
struggle against purblind British
despotism, they proclaimed and es-
tablished their absolute and eternal
independence.
An age of poetry produced Homer;
OF art, Raphael and an Angelo;
of discovery and adventure, Colum-
bus and Magellan; of eloquence, a
Webster and a Clay. So were WASH
ington, Jefferson and Hamilton,
Madison and Monroe and their i'm
mortal confreres the evolution and
the epitome of the ardent aspira-
tions of n century of untold sacri-
| flee and endless endeavor to gain
and to hold the priceless boon OF
| liberty. They stand pre- eminent in
all the tides OF time as the very
apostles of freedom. They erected
in the western world and for a new
born nation the most faultless and,
| hope, enduring temple ever dedi-
icated to the liberties OF mankind.
Without parallel in the institutions
OF the past. 1t is the Incompatible
model for the emulation OF the free
peoples of the future.

dacity of genius, took a mere man

Fountain Was Citizen.
But the fountain, the source, OF
all authority was the citizen. This
was the cardinal principle Of Jeffer-
sons philosophy; the sovereignty OF
the states was but corollary; the
largest measure of individual lip
erty, not state rights, was the sum

government. The Individual was
surrounded by the precinct OF town

cles, and each in proportion of It's
nearness TO the citizen was invested
with the greatest possible jurisdic'

button of powers between the ma
tional and the state governments,
and, If this process goes on. our
local governments will grow weaker
and the central government stronger
in the control OF local affairs. until
the local government IL dominated
from Washington by the votes OF
distant majorities, Indifferent to To-
cal customs and needs. When that
time comes the freedom of adjust
ment which preserves both national
and local liberty in our system Will
be destroyed and the breaking up
OF the union will inevitably follow.
The Propaganda and Its Purpose.
For what purpose are state lines
to be obliterated and state rights
ignored? TO do the very things
that state governments and county
governments were originally or
dained to prevent; TO enable a fed
eral and centralized authority to in
wade the privacy OF tho home and
the personal liberties of the citizen.
Whenever, by amendment or
otherwise, you make centralized
government and not the citizen the
source and repository OF all power,
you will not have amended, you will
have abolished tho constitution OF
the United States. You will have In
verted the whole system upon which
FOR u thousand years the structure
of Anglo-Sa liberty has rested
