C., On July 5 and 6, 1916, on the Operation of the Initiative, Referendum, and Recall, From 1903 to 1916That, government is not necessarily best which is freest from im perfection in operating details, that government is best in which each citizen is intensely alive to every social interest. John Stuart Mill well says that a malevolent despotism is to be preferred to a benevolent despotism, for the malevolent despot will awaken the people to life in defense of their rights and liberties, while a benevo ent despot, if there ever was one, would lull them to sleep, to stag-i nation and to civic death.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
