The bill inalienable individual
rights, the general recognition of
which is the foundation of civili-
cation would be, under the La
Fouette proposition, at the mercy
Of Congress. It klckedly challenges
the professed purpose of every ci-
vilized government to remove from
the realm of public conflict those
individual rights the reasonableness
and necessity of which have been
demonstrated by warfare as old as
the world, and to establish which
the blood of untold millions
throuhgout the ages has beenshed.
Los inalienables derechos indivi-
duales, cuyo reconocimiento es Ia
base de la civilization, de acuerdo
con. la proposition del senior, La
Follette, estarian a merced del
Congreso. Sc coloca frente al pro-
p6sito de todo gobierno civilizado
de colocar fuera de los confictos
pollticos tales derechos individual
les, cuya justicia y necesidad ha
sido demostrada por las guerras IL
bradas traves de todas las .eda-
des para conseguir.os, y derramada
la sangre de millones y millones de
almas para cimentarios
That government whose policy
is determined by the ultimate judg
ment of the people will permanen-
t'y survive. The government whose
actions are determined by the pas
sing phases of popular opinion, as
distinguished from ultimate OPT
Mon, will perish. The Constitution
of the United States establishes
the rule Of the people as distin-
guished from the rule Of the mob.
The difference between the dema-
gogne and the statesman is that
the demagogue appeals to the mob
and the statesman to the sound
judgment of the people.

pueblo subsistira siempre El 60

But the most dangerous reac-
tionary is the man attacking the
Constitution of the United States,
under which our happy and pro-
gressive people live in peace and
2 prosperity greater than that Of any
other nation in the world. Let US
not deceive ourselves. The doc
trines of the Socialists of the Uni
ted States, headed in this campaign
by Robert M. La Toilette, are the
reactionary doctrines. The hetero-
geneous collection of the represen-
tatives or organized n1inorittes
which endorsed the candidacy of
Robert NJ La Toilette, could never
have envolved a platform of their
own so diverse were their doctrines
and so impracticable and impossible
their scattered viewpoints. It
seems that there was but one man
in the United States who could
impose a platform upon them, and
he only could do it because the
cardinal principle of this platform
was an attack upon the courts and
the Cosntitution of the United
States.
Pero Ell hombre mas dafiino y
reaccionario es aquel que ataca la
Constitution de los Estados Un:dos,
bajo la cual nuestro pueblo feliz y
progresista vive con mas paz Y
prosperidad que ninguna otra ma
