BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES
An editorial writer in the Mail-Tribune, speaking
of the Magna Charta, says in part:
"From the Magna Charta came our own declara ion of liberty; from
the violation of it’s spirit came the American revolution and the
bir.h of modern democracy; from it came the French revolution.
From il has also come the 'new freedom', which lecogo,.- s the rights
of humanily aa against tha rights oi individuals » id of classes, and
rom it wii; come a new internaticn ilistn rec grazing trie rights of the
Worm as superior ts the rigts of a nation. Europe is witnessing the
death slruggle of trie old order lo which the magria enurta vo.ced he
first prj.esi. In Ihe maelstrom of its bua.e fields autoeracy is m ..<-
tng a final stand in the effort to perpetuate itself and to s.c .r. a re
newal of its light to exploit mankind. Let us hope that huma.ii y
will in the resulting chaos force >m tliir n agi.u cl.ai tu Im the liglus
of rn.mi, rendering it lumeforlh in.t osstbie ¡or the govern ng m.d
privileged few to cause the siaugh u oi mill.oils and tin de '.true, n.n ‘
jf ihe development of centuries.”
The author of the article quoted from, like many
others, realizes in part what the future holds in store for
the human race. In our opinion the Magna Charta, the
Am jrican war for independence, the French revolution,
the Civil war which brought auout the liberation if ii e
slave, in .lie southern states, etc. v\eie ali caused b\
the spreading of a greater knowledge of the individual
rights of man and a corresponding growth of unbelief
in the divine right of kings and cler y to rule and “ex
ploit mankind. We thinic the writer i, mistaken in the
statement that I'.uiope is witnessing the death struggle
of the old order,” but that the death struggle will follow
closely upon the heels of the
present conflict and will not be a warot
nation agaist nation, but u:i uprising
of the masses against every form of
organised govornme t. resulting in a
reign of anarchy and lawlessness winch
will eventually convince men ,»• ’! f; .t
