In consideration of the fluctuating variations incident to common usage,
their first endeavors were directed for the devisement of a method that
would insure exampled conformity in act. The difficulty of effecting
uniform compatibility, in the then present habits of the people, soon
became apparent. As a dernier of preparation, a division of labor was
enforced, according with the personal healthy capacity of each
individual. Under this system of equalized industry for community
support, the drones were soon discovered, and subjected to the
taskmaster supervision of those capable of exercising self control for
the common good. Of course the outcry of slavery and oppression became
rampant with the ill disposed and vicious; but compelled association
with the good soon wrought a happy change; but not before many
revolutionary schemes of revolt had been planned by the democratic
majority, and nipped in the bud. The great bar to the full success of
the renovating process, was the all absorbing lust for selfish
gratification, procured from the sacrifice of others’ welfare.
Exhortations and demonstrations of the evil effects and instability of
pleasures having a material dependency upon the appetites and passions
of the body were of no avail. Stimulating provocations, for the
production of inordinate appetites, had held an increasing sway from
time immemorial, and the infatuation still continued to subvert the
efforts of the Doschate of advisors for the establishment of a rational
source of happiness, that should extend its blessings for the reciprocal
appreciation of all. Laws and penal restrictions proved of easy evasion,
and the local option of individuals native to Manatitla, having a desire
to establish in perpetuity the happiness of their people, as a beacon
light of example, were openly defied by aliens. To restrict emigration,
which was claimed as a privileged right ordained as an inherent instinct
of animality, they did not dare! as it was declared by the majority an
assumption that would directly controvert the rights of septs and
nationalities guaranteed by deity. The civilized progenitors of the
races represented by tribes and small nationalities occupying the
country adjacent to Manatitla, had undoubtedly been parasitical attaches
to giga castaways like those of the Manatitlans. This stumbling block of
perversion, continued from generation to generation for centuries; until
the advent of the Dosch Desiderata, who with the aid of his advisors,
turned the tide anarchy by the adoption of foreigners as guests,
withholding the privilege of citizenship for bestowal upon their
children’s children of the third generation. This inaugurated an era
memorable for the change of precedental precept, based upon warlike
achievements, into a source of abhorrence with the increasing minority.
Thoughtful consideration bestowed upon example for the transmitted
improvement of future generations in goodness, produced a wonderful
