THE Minneapolis journal recently in
troduced the style of printing the name
of the paper with space between each
letter, this way: urnal. Now that
the journal has bought the Times, that
paper also prints its name in similar
typography, thus: Times. This Is
liable to be perplexing. The Journal
is an alleged Republican paper. and the
Times an alleged Democratic organ.
Here was a great opportunity to tell
which politics was which, but it seems
to have been lost. If the Republican
organ would print its name thus -
Ournal, and the Democratic organ
thus-Times, the public might be able
to tell whether they were reading the
Democratic journal or the Republican
Times. or vice versa. or both together.

Mr.. Morris cannot help being flattered
at the cordial reception he received. and
his "D'Artagnan" richly deserved all it

In the numerous climaxes of the play,
Mr.. Morris was at his best. His acting
was exceptionally free from affectation

1t repudiates the essential principle of
Democracy, and it Is only In the latter
that organization, In its true sense. is
possible and consistent. A Democratic
party Is only al aggregation Of men In
spired by belief in the fundamental
principles of the party, and giving their
support to the policies OF the party
which are based on these principles.
Organization, in such q party, is only
such methods as will enable the meu
composing 1t to govern the action Of
the party. 1t rests OH the assumption
that In Democracy each man Is free
man. entitled to his opinions andIsn
equal share in the means adopted for
expressing them. While admitting the
right 10 differ, il insists on the ruld Of
] the majority after decision is maze.
1t proceeds on the theory that party
action receives its motive and impeEus
froInvhe base. and not from the heads
on the right of each locality to admin.
lister It's own affairs; and that In the
combined action Of all localities in the
matters affecting all the representatives
shall give voice to the wishes Of their
SOuSbakucutS. -
Any organization In any true sensesof
the. word is based on the rank and file
of the party. 1t gives to them home
rule In all local matters. 1t gets its i'm
pulse from the bottom. not tile top. 1t
is not ansarmy, dIyided in many minor
divisions for greater convenience in
handling. taking its airction from the
autocratic wall of a commaudef-in-chief,
but deliberative body, each subdivis-
Ion self-controlling and governing, and.
by its representatives, directing and
controlling the larger aggregations of the
divisions. 1t aims to give to each MEM
Der OF the party sense Of duty and re-
sponsibility by giving him participa-
ton in all its acts. 1t proceeds On the
theory that it is only when each man Is
inspired with this sense that the founda-
lions of party are built broad, deep
and enduring. Such is the basic idea of
the plan of organization which will be
submitted to the state convention. De-
tails are immaterial, the idea is every
thing; and we hope to see it adopted.

ORGANIZATION OR MACHINE.

Perhaps it is we'll, while the question
of organization is being considered, and
in advance Of its consideration by the
coming state convention of our party,
TO clear the question of some misappre-
tensions, and especially to set out the
difference between political machine
and political organization. The con-
fusion which now, in many minds.
blends the two and makes them indis-
tiDguishable, is more due to the incor-
rect application Of the term orgPniza.
ton to what is only machine, so that
in such minds the impression prevails
that any plan Of organization means
simply the construction of another ma
chine designed by its builders to dis
place some other machine which they
cannot control.
The fact is that the two are essentially
different, both in purpose and construc-
ton, and the one cannot exist where the
other is in force. The machine is built
on the true paternal line. Its power
centers in one head, commonly termed
the boss. He acts through his lieuten-
ants, known in the vocabulary of politics
as henchmen, who bring the chief adj
vices of conditions and take from him
their orders and execute them faithfully.
These again have their serfs, who do the
work of running primaries and conven-
tions; see that tractable elements COM
pose them and that the intractable are
excluded, and that thus the dominance
OF the boss is maintained. Where the
machine rules the mass of the party are
Indifferent to party matters. feeling that
they have no voice any way. and, should
they wish it, would be repulsed and
beaten. If patronage Is to be had, the
boss dispenses it to the henchmen and
the serfs to pay them, out OF the public
purse, for their services to him. He
knows that no people in the world are
as submissive as the AEerican; none
who will endure maltreatment so long
or SO patiently. He knows, too, that
but small percentage of the cltizenry
take any interest in that work of the
party which consists in preparing lists
of candidates, the rest contenting them
selves with consideration of the larger
questions of party policy, and casting q
vote for whatever candidates are Sc
lected by the machine as the sole means
left of expressing their Judgment on the
main questions.
This is the machine. 1t ignores the
masses OF the party, and values
them only for their votes. 1t dis
trusts them; doubts their capac-
ity for self-government, and op-
poses bitterly any effort to give to the
rank and file right of action in any
matter concerning the party. 1t imag-
ines itself to be the best possible form
OF organizations; in fact, declares itself to
be an organization, and denies the pos
sbilitY of any other form of combined
regulated action. In party animated
by paternal ideas of government such a
machine has its natural and lit place,
! but it is all anomaly in Democracy.
