We know. from the history of the past. that there can be no civilization without order. that natural laws are positive and absolute. indeed. order itself. that there are few natural deformities in man. as you will not find. on an average. one cripple in athousand people. and more than 50 per cent of that deformity can be easily traced to the action of man himself.

Tyrants have always found an excuse for harsh and repressive rules. mostly on the pretense of preserving order.
