ward which the inner impulsions o
Jour being go out in ceaseless quest
1--WE all long for it, and strive TO
lit, yet few among us appear to realiz'
the working oft of the ideal in oul
4 lives. From the cradle to the grave
we find trammels of various kind anC
degree, in spite Of our incessant long
1 ing to be free.
As free citizens of free republic
we perhaps approach closest to the
ideal as applied to government. Yet
even here, upon every hand in oul
daily contacts, we are reminded that
there are restrictions and curtailments
upon our Liberties. No one is able
Ito do exactly as he pleases-when
Fand where he pleases. All of which
proves that the ideal of freedom in
our commonwealth is quite as elastic
and indeterminate as any other ideal
of human conception. 1t is merely
relative.
Our ideas of freedom differ ma
terially. To the average intelligence
the ideal of liberty is as incompre-
hensible and undefnable as Einstein's
law Of relatively. The normal human
being resents interference with his
rights and privileges. The abnormal
claims rights and privileges to which
he is not entitled. He claims for
himself a liberty which interferes
with another's freedom. We are all
linked so Interchangeable in COM.
mon destiny that it is quite easy to
infringe upon the rights of others
while pursuing freedom for ourselves.
Through the expansions of an elias
tic consciousness the ideal could be
reached so easily-if the other human
ity would not persist in getting in the
way. The race of men being what
it is, naturally there must be re-
straining law to prevent species of
vandalism or an iconoclasm of sacred
rights. When one regards this law
as a useless fetter upon his liberties
he is verging upon a dangerous pc
ton.
The universe is founded upon law
and governed by it. Each atom and
molecule obeys that law and within it
is at liberty to work out its destiny
to the fullest extent compatible with |
those cosmic bounds. In obeying it I
there is no interference with the eXol- |
ution and organism of the other atoms
and molecules. Harmony results. 1t I
is when an atom or a comet strays |
beyond its proper sphere and inter-
feres with the cosmic arrangement |
that disaster results. In carrying /
out the analogy it is obvious that go
ing off on a tangent never secures
true liberty or freedom. One is sud
denly brought up against forces with
which he had not reckoned. Other
and greater restrictions would swift
y follow.
We are all held in bondage to
however we may boast of
,ur freedom. If everything in this
world is relative, it is apparent that
freedom cannot be an absolute con-
lition. Thrust stand in relation ia
else which either en-
or restraints. AS we natur-
lily resent shackles arbitrarily i'm
,osed it is quite evident that
'ur inherent instinct for freedom is
normal one. Up to a certain point
t should be encouraged. Humanity
S quite within its rights when it re- {
uses to bow to any dictum or fiat t
vhich'enslaves the mind or conscience.

sales-tax. Why? Two reasons: He
knew the Farm Bloc was against the
tax and that Labor was emphatically
on record against it, ard he could tell
the American Legion he was for the
bonus but that he was blocked by this
opposition; further, everyone about
the Capitol knows that ever since it
became apparent that Harding was
to be elected the Wall Street district
has flooded Congress with letters and
arguments of every sort, directly and
through the great New York news
papers, under control Of the financial
interests, urging the enactment of a
sales-tax. Big Business seeks, through
Harding's recent action, to bring the
sales-tax into use first on the plea
that it is necessary to pay the bonus
that for the entering wedge. Their
hope and intention is that it shall
be made, within few years to take
the place Of all income and corpora
ton taxes. This has been expressed
in the Wall Street Journal and the
New York Tribune repeatedly.

Any attempt of the Congress to take
from the President the power
vested in him under the Constitution
to direct the movements Of the fight
ing branches of the Government will
be stoutly resisted by him. This atti-
tude on the part of the Chief Exec
utive was made known today. 1t was
explained in this connection that as
commander-in-ch of the army and
navy, the President has the sole right
and power to handle the movement of
troops. not only within the boundaries
of the United States, but in our IN
sular possessions as well. The state
ment emanated from report that
Congress would make an effort to de-
price the Chief of the power conferred
upon him under the Constitution to
dispose Of the army and navy and
malv such assignments of officers and
men as he saw fit. Such an attempt
would be vigorously opposed. it was
announced. and any suggestions along
this line are regarded as impractical
in the mind Of the occupant of the
White House.

Indirect warning against strike
of coal miners was given at the White
House today when attention was
called to the fact that at this time
there are greater supplies of coal on
hand than there had been for more
than two years 1t was said that
prices are lower and conditions bet
ter in this respect than for some time.
For this reason the Government has
taken no steps thus far to protect

effects Of this cut, it was said today,
is that it would put completely out OF

ton would make the defense of the
