WHAT CONSTITUTES a DEMOCRACY.

IL has become the fashion to point to
the United States government as an ex-
ample of a typical democracy, though
the facts do not warrant the concIu
sion. Webster says that democracy
is form of government in which the
supreme power is in the hands of the
people, and directly exercised by them.
1t Webster's definition is the correct
one, and we believe It is, then we are
Eot living under a democracy. We
may have democracy in its most alb
DreYlated form. but, summing it up
conclsely. 1t is very small improve
ment on monarchy. True, we have
our congresses, one branch of which is
elected by direct vote of the people, but
we have also our life tenure supreme
judges. appointed by president who is
not elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie, to declare invalid any laws they
choose. But that is not all: even if ev.
cry Officeholder in the land were elect
ed by direct vote of the people, we
would still be far away from an ideal
democracy. The people are not SO
much affected by the men who draw
the salaries as they are by the laws
which are enacted, and it follows that
when the people are denied a voice in
the making of those laws, democracy
falls. We are not now speaking of the
term as party appellation; we are
speaking of it in It's strict sense-as a
thing which must be in force before the
people can be free.
There are in existence only two par
ties today which advocate democratic
form of government in its full sense:
they are the Populist and the socialist
parties. On their banners thew have
inscribed these symbolS-''DIrect Leg
lslation, through the Initiative, Refer
endum and Imperative Mandate
They are proclaiming it throughout
the land, not because of any benefit
they might derive, but because it is the
savior Of the race. That general well
fare'' contemplated IN the preamble of
our constitution can never be attained
until the Lying principle of genuine
democracy is enfOrced-Direct Legisla-
ton. A representative government.
snch as we are now living under, is
nothing more nor less than monarchy
literally constructed or the foundation
OF ademocracy merely outlined. We
cannot. according to the definition of
the term, lay any claims to democra-
cy until the supreme power is in the
hands of people, and directly exercised
by Them

MEMORIAL DAY.
Headquarters Eldred Post, }
No LA L A z 1


No. ia, G. a. r.
The fragrant blossoms of spring
again recall to mind the near approach
Of a day hallowed by sacred and patri-
otto associations. which the nation by
law and custom has decreed shall be
dedicated to the memory of those who
volunteered their lives in defense of
their country. The nations memorial
day-May 80, the one day of the year
when the patriotic people of this ma
ton gather as of one accord to pay their
tribute OF love and respect to the mem
DRY of our honored dead. Let the liv-
ing comrades in the most fitting man.
ner unite in making the services of this
day as impressive as possible, with fra
grant flowers, sweet music and patriot
ic utteraDces; let us stand by tie graves
of our dead comrades and pay to them
the tribute of our hearts deepest affec-
ton, and over their green mounds
which are now their blvouacs, pledge
and to the cause for which we and they
battled. If other eyes grow dull and
other hands slack and other hearts
grow cold in the solemn trust, ours
shall keep it as long as the light and
warmth of life remains to us. Gather
sprIngtime's brightest, purest garlands
and decorate our comrades graves: not
one should be forgotten.
Memorial Sunday has become sacred
day i'll the Grand Army calendar. All
patriotic citizens are invited to meet
with US on this occasion. May 2Sth, at
ii O'Clock at the opera house where the
exercises appropriate to the day will be
held. w. H. THOMPSON,

A CAPITALIST writing to the
Appeal to Reason says that
reform will never be accom-
plished because laborers are
below the brute creation NOR
ally, physically and mentally.
He says the average working
man does not look into the
future, has not the capacity
to study economy and will al
ways remain in submissive
servitude so long as he has a
few pennies on his person.
While the capitalists version
seems correct in some instanc.
es we believe time will prove
that he is wrong as applied
tn the majority of working
men. A large per cent are
now studying reform ques-
tions as they have never stud.
led them before, and the
list is growing. We deny,
also, that the workingman is
a brute in intellect. He has
the capacity to think more
than any other man and he
is doing it. Some of these
times this capitalist will wake
up to find that the laborer is
not the fool he now thinks
him to be.

TAXES are paid in more
ways than one. A direct tax
fades into insignificance com.
pared with an indirect tax.
Of the two, a direct tax is
more just and equitable. An
indirect tax, as at present ad-
ministered, is wrong in prin-
ciple. It swells the Golfers of
idle millionaires and impov.
erishes the industrial forces.
1t discourages industry and

THEMississippi ValleyDem-
ocrat is opposed to a redeem.
able dollar but favors a
"swappable" dollar. Anoth-

REFORM agitation will nc

REFORM agitation will not
down as long as conditions
are unchanged Parties may be
born, live briefly and die but
the fundamental principles
will go marching on. Trait
ors may betray them but
they continue to live when
the culprits are dead, damn
ed and forgotten. Be patient,
aggressive and resolute, and
the era of human equality
will dawn.
