darkness of the middle agos the year
A. I). 1-1(12 was strangely propitious
in heralding the dawn of a glorious
epoch, for not only was America dis
covered in that year by Columbus
but tiiat same year beheld Uoabdil
Iho last of tho Moorlfih sultans, came
forth from tho Allmmbra and yield
up Hie famous city of Granada, a
favorite seat and stronghold of
Moorish power, to Ferdinand and
Isabella. The expulsion of the Moors
from Spain and the discovery of this
continent gave birth to an amazing
awakening, for soon tho stories of
the voyages of Columbus and the dis
coveries of Cortez, Coronado, Drake,
the Cabots, Frobisher, Hawkins, and
Raleigh kindled the theretofore ap
parently dormant imagination of
men. These discoveries doubled the
earth, and ships of conquest, adven
ture, glory, and science began to cut
through tho billows of every sea.
The expanse and magnificence of this
now physical world thus opened to
mankind had, as such things always
have, its beneficent influence upon
human character and tho trend of
tho world's events, for mental and
moral evolution and growth flow
from a contemplation of the external
charms of nature, and they always
exclto a lively and intense interest In
human existence.
Seventy-two years after the dis
covery of America began the Shakes
pearean age, a period during which
liberty, progress, and civilization
made forward strides; and when
Shakespeare's works were published
it was ascertained that his. writings,
in addition to delighting and glori
fying tho intellectual world, also
evoked remarkably strong patriotic
and liberty-loving sentiments. For
instance, in the play of Julius Caesar,
he made ono of his characters to say:
"So every bondman in his own
hand bears the power to cancel his
captivity."
Years later the noble rhetoric and
Inescapable logic of John Milton and
the bitter satires of Jnnnriinn srtff
in his newspaper called the Exami
ner , publishod in 1710, forced the
abolition of the censorship over the
press, which was another forward
step in securing a larger liberty for
the people. The past 150 years, how
ever, has been an age during which
liberty has advanced to a greater
degree than in any other equal num
ber of years In the world's history.
Tn 1775 tho population of tho
American colonies numbered ap
proximately 3,000,000 and was prin
cipally composed of the descendants
of those persons who had emigrated
nithor to enjoy freedom of con
science, thought and worship. Thev

fringes the Atlantic coast, stretching
from Florida to Maine. In thei?

nets wrote another charter of Ameri
can liberty on tho backs of the flee
ing soldiers of General John Bur
goyne and Lord Cornwallis. England
then caught somewhat tho spirit of
liberty and "made good the declara
tion of her great Lord Mansfield that
'no slave could breathe her free air,'
and thus in all her world-encircling
possessions, from the Pillars of Her
cules to tho Indus, the fetters
dropped from tho limbs of every
English bondman whose ear could
catch the music of her drumbeats,"
so tho present contest of the people
in behalf of a larger measure of free
dom is not a spasm. It is not a pul
sation nor a leap nor a jerk nor a
sudden start. It is simply part and
parcel of the resistless advance of
progress which can not be stopped
or stayed. Tho movement is seem
ingly more pronounced at this par
ticular time, because the facilities
for communication afforded by the
telephone, the telegraph, and tho
newspapers are easier than they havo
ever been before, the facilities for ac
quiring knowledge are greater, and
for the further reason that men who
sternly stand for national progress
in times of peace are now recognized
to be patriots as truly as those who
upon the battle field fight for na
tional safety.
In criticising or discussing a "re
actionary," a "stationary," or a
"standpatter" it is unjust and un
fair to apply opprobrious epithets to
him. Ho is simply unfortunate, for
ho has either misread or failed to
read the history of the world. Al
most everything that has over been
proposed for the benefit of the people
or for their increased liberty has
been stubbornly opposed by reaction
aries. Every world-important inven
tion, whether it be a ponderous en
gine or an ingenious electrical con
trivance, was ridiculed and opposed.
Every discovery jn science has been
ridiculed by the reactionnw 'anuion
was denounced and imprisoned for
asserting, in accordanco with tho
theory of Copernicus, that tho sun
was the center of tho planetary sys
tem and that the earth had a diurnal
motion of rotation. In both science
and government many people prefer
to remain static and undisturbed and
"? ly- resent auv interference
with their settled beliefs. They look
with suspicion upon innovations, new
suggestions, and ideas as, in their
op nion will interfere in any manner
with their present interests." (See
S. Doc. No 438, 56th Cong., 1st sess.)
Hence their tendency to remain in
tho old -ruts, violently opposo im
provements or changes, and de
nounce inventors as cranks and pro
gressives as demagogues. The stub
born opposition of thG standpatter
and reactionary in invention and
government passes all understanding
and the singularly sad feature of It is
that many of these inventions and re
