We hold these truths to be that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, amongst which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. The only reason for the existence of a government is to furnish sufficient authority to preserve order and an amount of liberty which falls short of license. Government, with its agencies and its minions, and its authorities, treading on your heels wherever you go, crossing your threshold, invading your home, reaching into the nurseries of your children government! And what is this thing called government? Government is mine and yours to do with as in our judgment and in our intelligence we think it should do, always mindful of the individual. Any government that invades the secret domain of individualism is a government which does not belong to a period of American liberty. This government was erected to protect life, liberty and property and when it ceases to do that, it ceases to be a government of the civilization of this age and era and belongs to another age and another era. self-eviden- t, BORAHS VIEW Some people believe that Senator Borah blundered when lie said that the Republican party erred in riding out of the party La Follette, Brookhart, Frazier and Ladd, and in other ways criticis- ed his party for the stand taken. There is one commendable thing about Borah lie stands for the right and is not afraid to fight for his enemies when he believes they are right. When a party gets to that stage when men and women are barred because they may differ in opinion, then the party is at a dangerous who will point. Teddy Roosevelt bolted his party organization, yet say that Roosevelt was not a good Republican? It matters not what party it is, the party needs all the individual support it can possibly assemble. Suppose a man does make a mistake? Have most of us become so infalliable that we can set ourselves up as judges and dictators? Or is the Republican party beleaders are becoming autocratic coming so strong that certain of its and hold themselves above criticism and can dictate at will? The Citizen was not, and is not, in sympathy with the movement started by Senator La Follette and his cohorts. However, we may be wrong and these insurgents, as we call them, may be right, and sometime in the future the story will be told. All.indications pointed and we believed to a overwhelming victory for President Coolidge, was at the time that any Republican who came out against Coolidge and the election showed that they were.
