it come from? Well, it says right here, "To secure these rights, governments are instituted among man, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Government, in other words, is a tool fabricated by man for the purpose of preserving God's gift to man. Men are God-made. Rights are God-given. Equality is before God and the law, but government is made by man. Government is propelled by man. Government is financed by man. Government is created by man as man's appliance for the preservation of God's gifts.
Now we brush the drawing board clean of all the super-structure that has resulted from it. Here are the basic primaries of Americanism. These are the things without which the Republic will not stand because here are its supporting cornerstones. Here are the concepts that must be burned into the consciousness of the American people before you shall be free from the bedevilment of socialism, statism and communism. Of first necessity is the proper popular conception of what government was designed to do and what government therefore can be expected to do.
IN this blueprint Government is designed to preserve rights. The man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, paraphrased it this way, he said that government was designed to \eep men from injuring one another and to leave them otherwise free.
Government is a tool, a device for that purpose. How many people in this country today regard government as a tool, as an appliance to serve a special narrowly restricted purpose?

Certainly not very many. And yet, we are a tool-conscious nation. Nearly everybody understands about tools; the farmer, the mechanic, the housewife. Even I know something about tools and devices.
I went with my wife some months ago to purchase an electric dishwasher. I really went to resist the purchase, between you and me. We have had it now for about six months. It has been a Godsend. It is everything they said it was. You just put the soiled dishes into the dishwater, close the lid and press the button. Some sort of a noise then emanates from the machine, splashings and rumblings — the operations are entirely secret — at a given point the lid pops open and the job is done. Just take the dishes out, put them on the cupboard shelf and go about your business.
At the moment, we are making eyes at a garbage disposal unit. I have maintained a safe distance in thia case however. But, from that distance I have observed the garbage disposal unit is not unlike the dishwasher in appearance. It makes the same kind of noise, also operates in secret, and automatically stops when the job is done. It also costs about the same amount of money.
It has occurred to me that we might save the cost of this additional investment by taking the dishes out of the dishwasher when they are clean and then put the garbage into the dishwasher. The dishwasher could then dispose of the garbage.
Well, I can't even get a single vote on that in my household. Even my six-year-old son screams with laughter when I mention my plan to have the dishwasher dispose of garbage.
