They took arms nots to destory, but to save liberty; not to overthrow, but to establish the supremacy of the law. The crisis which they faced was to determine whether or not this people was fit for self-government and therefore fit for lib- erty. Freedom s not a gift which can be enjoyed save by those who show themselves worthy of it. In this world no privilege can be permanently approprizted by men who have not the poweg and the will Successtully to as- sume the re sibllity of using it aright. In his recent admirable little volume on freedom and responsibility in_democratic government, President Hadley of Yale has pointed out that the freedom which is worth anything is the freedom which means self-government and not anarchy. Freedom thus conceived is a con- | structive force, which enables an intelligent d good man to do better things than he could do without it; which is in its essence the substitution of self-restraint for external restraint—the subsetitution of a form of re- restraint which promotes progress for the form | which retards it. This js the right view of reedom; but it can oply be taken if there i & full recognition of the close connection tween iiberty and responsibility in every do- | main of human thought. It was essentially | the view taken by Abraham Lincoln, and by | all those who, when the civil war broke out, | realized that in a self-governing democracy | those who desire to be considered fit to enjoy | liberty must show that they know how to use it with moderation and jusfice in peace, and | jeoparded by how to fight for it when it is malice domestic or foreign levy.

The run from the battlefield to the capital was without incident of any kind. During the trip President Roosevelt went to the for- ward Pullman car and spent about two hours in conversation with (eneral Daniel E. Sickles and General O. O. | Howard, both Civil War veterans. The | trio discussed the various positions of the Union and Confederate armies, not only on the Gettysburg field, but also on other noted battlefields of the war. The President listened with great in- terest to incidents related by his com- panions of events of the war. AL TAFT IS TOPEKA'S GUEST. War Chief in Address Denounces His- toric Kansas-Nebraska Bill.
