Numerous complaints are. bei.ng voiced byour readersconcerning the proniiscu- ous littering of porches and lawns through the careless -distribution of A Gro Wi$1g circulars, hand bis, and, Nu.snce n assortment of other lit- erature ni o t dispatcbed through the. mails. The burden of these complaints is that persons distribluting such material frequently toss it in 'the general direction of the house entrance instead* of taking the trouble to place, it carefully on, the porch -or other location where it may be accessible to the. boUse- holder. The resuit. s that the wind ca tches up these papers and carnies them over the lawns or into 'the streets, where they cre- ate a decidedly untidy appearance. A Village ordinance prohibits the indîs- zriminate distribution' from bouse to bouse of. folders and other advertising matter. It does, however, provide for the granting of a license for such distribution to estab- lished publications and reputable business. concerns But such license does flot ex- tend the privilege of mussing lawns or streets. It provides that care must be exercised, to avoid such disfigurement as is so 9ften the subject of compl aint. It might be well for citizens to bear in, mind that theyare under no obligation to endure this annoyance. The ordinance [ provides for penalties for violations of its regulations, and if Village officiais are g iven specific and accurate information upon which -to base action offenders can be brought to justice. It may be that a few stiff lessons will have a salutary effect upon those whose carelessness is respon- sible for an unsightliness which mars the wnmcn, even witn its imperfections, is Det-, ter at its worst than a'ny other at its best. To relinquish the individual rights it guar- antees is to give up. that which. others fought ýto gain 'and'preserve, that we might enjoy the, benefits. By lure of promise of relief f rom pres- Cnt difficulties or awiser administra'tion of. public affairs citizensý are'-induced to consent to -a withdrawal ofý their constitu- tional ight to representative gov ernment, to accept edict as a substitute for law, to entrust their destinies to a débénevolent dictator," and to become traitors -tô that compact to defend a constitution which Edmund Burkeý said existed "between the dead, the, living, and tbe unborn." This idea, of a oneman goverfiment is flot only.dangerous, but un-American.. Yet we find it operating fromf the smallest nmu- nicipality to the national adm~inist ration. We sec congress surrendering its rights and becoming nothing more than a ratify- ing body, witbout real legislative powers. We sec state legisiatures and city. councils doing the'same thing, obeying the orders of a single individual who presumes to hold dominion over aIl within his jurisdic- tion and in effect asserting bis ability to govern themi better than they tan governi tbemselves. We stili think that the o14 deal is better tban the new deai (it really is not new but very old), anmd that as a people we are more competent to govern ourselves than is any individual to do the job for us. This applies to local governments as well as to tbe national government. Granting hon- esty, sincerity,- patriotism1 and bigh mo- tives of service to the people, we have not so mnucb faitb in any man as to belive that ail of bis acts under a dictatorship can bc wise or for the best interest of town, county, state or nation.
