The idea is common that the true theory of 90.
vernmcnt is. that individuals surrender ccrlain
rights to society, and in return receive protection
at It's hn nds: so that government is tt,hde tip of
rights Topped off from individuals. But what
rights does an individual surrender I 'fhe right
10 lake his neighbor's goods to Gu, his neshbors
thrort TO control his neighbor's will Docs he
surrender the right to judge his own causc, or to
retaIiale his own wrongs! How came he BY such
rights or how can he claim such licenses to be
rights! Who conferred such upon him The
Almighty? lmpious lf the Creator did not,
who can! The notion that men part with rights,
or that government acquire rights, in this wav


Is fnllaclous. Men. such is the t, ue theory, agree
10 institute society to secure each individual in
the enjoy ment OF existing rights to protect the
whole. and not to cothe part with privileges or
to confer On part Il right to Control part. But
most "otuy has government been perverted
The intellectually strong originally, and then,
through inherited power, weak fools called kings
have ruled their follow beings, and used them to
crafty their own lusts, whether for power, war.
or avarIce. Thus have they Appropriated. as
they would so many cha t!es, the sacred, origina .
natural rights Of man and mankind, from the
dawn OF history to this hour, have becn wadlng
through oceans of bI cd to regain them. -.
n, all men, can claim 10 be considered free
and equal, so far as rights are concerned, and 70
exercise them in full fre,dom and liberty. But
nmn's freedom is Id be bounded by right and his
liberty is a liberty Of exercising the powers God
has clothed him with ms his o~n free will dictates


provided he does not. in so doing encroach upon
the coequal rights of his brother men. And 90.
rernnient is instituted 10 proircf all men in this
righteous pursuit. of happiness.--Bo Post.
