APATHY OF BETTER CLASSES,
A MENACE TO THE REPUBLIC
Compulsory Voting is Necessary to Adapt Democ-
racy to Present Conditions. In the
People Rest All Power.

pie The need for such reform can not
be questioned, when no less a person
than Judge Seymour d. Thompson in his
address before the last meeting of the
Bar Association of North Carolina made
use Of this striking language: "Who
and what are the government? The gov
eminent is a collection of politicians who
have the faculty, frequently by devious
and underground methods, of keeping
themselves in public office. The govern
ment is in many cases the party boss,
and the boss is the uncrowned king Of
our politics. . He levies tribute
on pubic officers and on candidates for
public office. even upon judicial officers
and judicial candidates, and he wads the
money together and thrusts it down deep
into his pocket; and the high-priced cigar
sticks out of his mouth. and the big dia-
mond flashes from his shirt bosom; and
be accounts to nobody What picture.
And yet 1t was drawn in all seriousness
by man full of years and experience, of
wide observation and international repu-
tation.
The proposed reform is of course trea-
son against this ''uncrowned king of our
politics, and he will oppose it vigorous
ly, but he need not be feared. He can
only reign while the people, sleep When
'the people are aroused and come to
claim their own he disappears, either to
find an abode in a felon's cell or to be
rclegated TO the humber walks of life.
But there IS another class who will
view with alarm reform such as that
proposed. They are those who, either
openly or secretly in their own hearts
distrust the people They believe 1.-The
people to be incapable either through
ignorance or viciousness, of conducting
the government safely and justly. There
have always been such in this country:
from the days of Alexander Hamilton to
the present, some of this class have been
called the predatory rich who usually
stand in close alliance with the ''uncrown-
ed king
Who, then. constitute 'tthe people?
Are they able both to govern and to
govern wisely and Justly? Only those
who are permitted by Law to participate
in the elective franchise constitute 1.-THE
people" as referred to in this connection,
and this participation in the elective
franchise is a privilege rather than d
right, and it is granted or denied on
grounds OF general policy the prevailing
view being that it should be as general
as possible consistent with public safe

To the Editor: Some 600 years before
ST. Paul stood on Mars Hill and pro
claimed the beautiful alruism of Jesus
Christ, the unknown Cod to whom he
there found an altar inscribed, had
taught those brave people the universal
brotherhood of man, with its necessary
consequent, democracy, there already had
been inaugurated those principles OF
democratic government which grew I'M
der the leadership of Cleisthenes and
made possible the age of Pericles; when
the human mind reached its highest de-
velopment, when were produced those
monuments of genius in art and literature
which have ever been at once the marvel
and admiration of mankind.
From there on through the ages, to our
own time there has flowed an ever in
creasing current of the spirit of demo
cracy or sef-governmeh, gathering
magnetic strength in the better days OF
the Roman Republic. to be checked and
perverted in those darkest hours of the
human race which followed; yet never
lost but ever moving onward; among the
mountains of Switzerland, through the
forests of Germany, across the plains OF
the Netherlands; in England, tossing
aside kings and submerging one; often
diverted and polluted, often misnamed
and disguised, yet ever moving irresisti-
bly onward, and in our own favored land
and age, spreading into mighty sea,
bearing on it's bosom the life and aspira-
tions of great people: sustaining the
bones of humanity, and in its great
DEPTHS repeating the shining promises Of
God.
And so in time this irresistible blood
must conquer the world. As Mr.. Lecky,
who was certainly no great friend to the
movement says, in his Democracy and
Liberty" no one "who seriously consid-
ers the force and universally of the
movement of our generation in the direc-
ton of democracy can doubt that this
conception of government will necessarily,

well suited and we need only address our
selves to the means of avoiding or miti-
eating its characteristic evils.

at least for a time, entirely perverted
the very spirit of our government, was the
greatest political crime of any age or
country History furnishes no other ex-
ample of an effort by victorious people
to put the vanquished under the political
control of an inferior race just freed
from bondage and but recently emerged
from savagery. This so corrupted the
electorate in the Southern States that
public safety forbade the thought of com
pulsory participation in politics, and Of
ten required the very reverse. But this
condition, at least in North Carolina and
some other States, is now happily passed,
and we can with perfect safety rely upon
1.-THE people and discuss such measure.
1t has been said with much force thai
society is rotten at both ends. But the
two ends, the upper and the lower, are
as yet, small as compared with the mid
die to which they are so joined that they
must follow where it leads. THE people"
are what its middle class is. Thus it is
that human progress is possible, and
that
Though the ages one increasing purpose
runs,
And the thoughts of men are widend with
the process of the suns
Over two thousand years ago Aristotle
declared this middle class to be the great
est safety of government. From then
to our own time with it has been begun
and consummated every great reform in
religion, in morals and in government. It
has ever been the sturdy defender of lib
erty and the preserver of virtue and jus
ttce
Henry VIII, who was probably the
greatest statesman that ever sat upon the
throne Of England, was tthe first king to
put faith in this great middle class of
the people and to recognize in the House
of Commons the greatest safety of his
kingdom He was the first to give to
that branch Of the government its due
weight and power, and from that day the
real greatness of England dates.
At present there seems to be but one
place in the world where compulsory vot-
ing is in operation, and that is in Bel
gIum. But the subject is forcing itself
upon the minds of thoughtful men in our
own country as well as elsewhere. In
the State of New York, where the situa-
ton has at times been most acute the
great danger to society is al last fully
realized, and the true remedy is beginning
20 be considered. There has been intro
duced into the present session of the leg
islat,lre of that State bill requiring
every enfranchised citizen to vote under
penalty of fine. And even in Spain a
similar measure has been proposed in the
Cortes Had she acted on this principle
earlier. she might not have lost from
her crown the level OF the Antilles
But even this reform does not reach
the root of the evil, which lies in the
party primary, compulsory voting at elcc-
tions is highly desirable, but the greatest
need fol- State regulation and compulsory
participation is in the party primary
when the personnel Of the public service
is largely regulated. Here it is that the
middle class, or, if you will, the better
middle class, or,,if you will. the better
class. both rich and poor, must first take
up its burden
There is a growing sentiment in favor
of municipal ownership of public utilities;
