To the Editor -
When fanaticism and propo-
gandism establish laws that alter
the principles upon which govern
ment is founded, | deem it prud-
ent to call their attention to a
section Of the Declaration of In
dependence, which says 1--WE
hold these truths to be self evil
dent, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unal-
ienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. That to secure
these rights governments are in
stituted among men, deriving
their power from the consent of
the governed, that whenever any
form of government becomes de-
structive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or a.
bolish it, and to institute a new
government, laying it's founda-
ton on such form as to them
shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness"
Prudence. indeed will dictate
that governments long establish
ed should not be changed for
light and transient causes, but
when a long train of abuses and
insurpations, persuing invariably
the same object, evinces a design
to reduce them under absolute des.
potism, it is their right, it is
their duty to throw off such gov.
eminent, and to provide new
guards for their future security
When laws are made that de-
prive mankind of their life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
they are wrong. Man, being {
free moral agent, he is left Il
choose that which will give hin
these according to the dictates
of his own conscience. l have
searched the Divine law for thu
word prohibition, which / fail tt
find. When men set up an abso
lutte despotism they are breaking
the Divine law and the principle
upon which this nation was found
ed.S The manner and means the,
institute to enforce their despo
tism upon their fellow men is
disgraceful infamy. They ar
breaking the morals and home
of this nation, and creating ad
verse regard for all law and max
ing liars, thieves, perjurers, rob
bers, murderers, and bootleggers
and filling our penal institution
, so full they do not know what t
do with them. The Divine com
mandment, Thou shalt not kill,
is entirely ignored. They sen
out their snoop sleuths arme
with automatic guns and save
off shot guns to enforce despot
ism. The papers report casa
in Arkansas where two wome
, riding in their auto were cha
lenged by one of these sleuth
: and because they did not obey hi
demand he shot and killed thel
both. He is a murderer, accord
ing to Divine and mammal
laws, and should receive the sam
punishment as those who comm
murder to obtain money. 1t is
contemplate way to enforce Law
According to the declaratio
j given above, the people have
right, and it is their duty [
throw off such despotism and
provide new guards for the
future security. The agents "
have at Washington should amen
or repeal a law that is contra1
to Divine law, and put a stop
the disgraceful means used
inforce it.
