TRUTH (I
Those who have lived in the more
remote frontier districts have often
had occasion to observe that with the
relaxation of the set rules obtaining
elsewhere which such remoteness en
genders, come along with apparent
-, naturalness the various kinds and dc-
grces of crime incident to frail and
perverse humanity. It lakes not only
laws, but rigid ones, equitably drawn
and impartially enforced, to keep the
body politic anywhere near the nor
mal condition of hcalthfulncss, and
sometimes, as is also frequently seen,
bad eruptions occur even with the
closest surveillance, those who arf
naturally disposed to concur in the
rule of right being themselves occas
ionally drawn away from the straight
and narrow path.
Ill
v Since it is manifestly the case that
law is the only reliable and enduring
safeguard, it naturally follows that its
existence and employment mean a
cheaper condition of things than can
be had in its absence; but this cheap
ness docs not go to the extent of
gratuity. It takes time, skill and
money to make laws, and still more
of these to uphold and enforce them;
at special times, when the violations
have been unusually flagrant, when
the outrages committed have been un
commonly flagitious and the means
of determining where and when the
crimes have occurred arc curtailed
by the skill and preparation em
ployed in concealing them, extra
evils are a matter of course, and all
that the good citizen should do un
der such circumstances is, to use a
sporting phrase, "ante tip and look
pleasant." It is not the amount of money
spent in maintaining government and
enforcing authority that we arc to
find fault with, but the manner and
purposes for which it is spent when
these arc viciously or incompetently
rerformed.
As to the President's conclusion re
garding the gentry on trial, that is
merely his view of the situation. As
he is not a despot, and could not
1 ractice despotism in this country if
lie were one and desired so to do,
others arc not compelled to adopt his
method of reasoning or his conclu
sions thereon. It would probably be
surprising, though, if the number of
those who .agree with him in general
and in detail were to be made known
to the family of man in these United
States.
