THE FOOL AND THE GENIUS,

A Fool was one day shutting heed,
lessly along the street, his elbows pro-
jecting at angles stiftly out behind, his
head Craned forward as far as his neck
would allow, as if it desired no connec-
ton with the body, but would fain have
detached itself therefrom and have
travelled on ahead, and totally indepen.
dent of that Indispensable adjunct.
A leer of mingled righteousness and
cunning constantly occupied his feat.

cling with lightning rapidity here and
there, seemed to see and comprehend
everything coming within the range of
their vision Ever and anon would he
burst into a loud OUTLAW, as some
thought of more than usually humor-
GUS character would force an entrance
into his adamantne mind.
1t had been said by a great many PEG.
pie that the Fool was not such fool as
he appeared, but they had been laughed
down by the neighbors.
Men smiled and condescendinglv be-
slowed bow upon him as they passed,
Certainly he was fool, and far beneath
their notice, but the spirit of Christian
charity would not permit them to pass
by him unnotced, W hen with a mere
bow they could contribute to his happj,
ness. This was the manner in which
they viewed their actiCns. They forgot
that the Fool might look from stand.
point directly the reverse.
In the guise Of charity what kindly
condesCension we are prone to bestow
upon one whom we consider a greater
fool than ourselves.
The school children shrank away
from him with a feeling akin to that
nameless awe which one experiences
upon the contemplation of something
which Is beyond the comprehension Of
man. Still the Fool Shuflled heedlessly
onward, Obliyious either to the good or
bad opinion of others. his mind riveted
upon himself.
Now, from a direction lying at right
angles with that whence the Fool was
coming came a Genius-one who had
obtained far and wide a reputation As a
creator and originator of ideas, some of

it that the more important eco

DEMOCRACY AND DEMAGOG.
VERY.

UER1.
The election of men and the en-
actment Of laws are two vastly diff
ferent things, and the application
OF democratic principle to these
different acts requires different man
ners. To adopt the same tactics in
the selection Of competent officials as
are right and expedient in the adop-
ton of laws would dcfoat democ-
racy. The Socialist Party rec0g-
nizes this in its own affairs, for
while all laws are submitted to a
general vote, the Party wisely leaves
the election Of an administrator to a
single Section, for the Party at
large cannot determine upon the fit
ness Of an individual, while Sec
ton may easily be acquainted with
the attributes Of oneof It's members.
And when it comes to the selection
Of employees of the Party where
technical knowledge is required, it
Is left to even a smaller body than
Section to decide, For instance,
the selection Of u composItor in
our prlntery would hardly be at
tempted by general nomination or
by genera vote. The person is in
this instance immaterial-compo-
tenCy is what is wanted, and that is
judged of by the competent.
True democracy implies equality;
not only equality as to the simple
power OF casting ballot, but equal
lty Of knowledge upon the subject
under consideration to be adopted
or rejected; and while it may be adj
mlttod that this is only approx
matoly present among those who
have to pass upon laws, rules and
regulations, it certainly is not pres,
ent where large numbers vote for 4
parsonage with view to securing
competence in special and partjcu-
lar service.
The popula ton of the United
States, spread over a vast territory,
having to certain extent different
customs and manners, Judging by
different standards, and more than
all, unacquaiuted with the mdiyid-
ual candidate for their suflragcs,
cannot intelGgently select an cxccu-
tive officer whose duties REQUIRE a
certain knowledge and certain capa-
blltles; and yet We find "demo-
cratic newspapers clauoring for
the abolition of the electoral college
and the election of the President of
the United States hy direct vote.

mere formality, and since the man

For years past this publication
has been pointing out the change
which has taken place in public
opinion and in government action
on the subject of competition. The
political economy of the nineteenth
century, which was born of the neg
atlye policy of the last half of the
eigh teenth century, in every way
magnitied competition. "Let US
alone, . the cry was, "supply and de-
mand, "Self,help,' "a fair field and
no favor" will set matters all right.
1t was in this school we were all edu-
Gated, and our editors and pollti-
clans keep on enunciating the old
axioms right in the face of their
every day experience. Herbert
Spencer has lent his great talents
and lucid style to the advocacy of
government abstention from all in
reference with mems pursuits, and
in trying to show that the free play
of human forces cannot but in the
end bring about the best results.
The working classes were the first
to revolt against ruthless competi-
ton. They declared that its effect
upon them was ruinous; it was the
struggle for life which played such
sad havoc with the animal world
about us transferred to the sphere
Of human activity. 1t led to the
masslng of wealth in few bands
and the starvation of many; so the
trade union came into existence to
get rid of competition by uniting
among themselves. The history of
these organizations in Great Britain
and this country shows that in a
measure they have succeeded in put
ting a stop to competition in their
own ranks The employers have
generally been beaten until recently
when they discovered the value Of
combination, thus beneftting by the
experience of the working people,

that they are self-governing because
they elect men to office is demagog-
uery. 1t not the advocacy Of de-
mOcraCE
Democracy implies form of gov
ern ment in which the supreme
power is with the people, and d.

CATION Of power to others by mere
I'm plicaton yitiates the spirit Of de-
mocracy, The power being dele
gated, it is not in the hands of the
people in this so-called democracy
Of ours. Hence, the insstence
by the Socialist Party that the laws
be submitted TO the people, and
that they have right under certain
rules to propose laws.
Napoleon HIS pretence of demo
cratic procedure in the pIe6tscjte at
the time Of his comp Getat was an
example Of how a demagogue could
hoodwnk the people. When u
large number of people have placed
before them the nomination of prom
lnent men, they are as likely to
choose the person they do not want
as the one they might be well
served by clecting. And it is the
knowledge Of this popularity that
serves demagogues 80 well,
a political or society speculator
for position, for himself or for an
other, payos the way for grand
"democratic' feat, by placing him

is used for the object in view. An
office IS to be filled and the best

The Socialist Party'S plan is the
correct one, and should be care
