If you take a number of people
similarly born into this world with
similar nepds and desires, each of
them fvould have equal freedom-with
all the others. The only office of
government is to settle disputes

Let us apply the above logic to a

volved), a picture of peace; some >
will be feeding; some chewing their
cuds; some sleeping and all will
be Wi about the same physical and
mental condition. You will n<4 find
one fat ahd AH of the rest lean. You
might find one lean and all of the
rest fat, due to disease.
'What would be the reason for the
similarity of condition in this herd?
Some have said that cattle lack fee-
ken, which may be true. It might be
beneficial to man if he would use
the reason that he flatters himself
with having and see why th herd
is in that condition. “Consider the
