its atmosphere had somehow been lifted
out of the commonplace by the clinging
"reminiscences of a temperament abnormal
in efficiency and thought. And recently an
article in LIE Mercure of Paris was devoted
to nothing but an impression of the house
which Rubens built for himself at Antwerp,
beautiful house with a beautiful garden,
spacious, reserved, discreetly ornate and
sumptuouSly distinguished. Above the door
is a plate bearing the following inscription
in Flemish:
P. P Rubens.
Born at Antwerp,
1877.
Built this house.
1872.
Died in it,
1910.
The statement is like little epitorle of
the mans life; but, as a matter of fact.
though Rubens was born and also settled
and died in Antwerp, he spent much of his
life in other places.
Few people remember that In addition to
being one of the most prolific of great paint
ers, Rubens was also a very distinguished
society man, remarkable for culture, charm

For In Spain. having successfully managed
the mission upon which he had been sent,
he painted portraits Of the king and several
of the grandees of the court. besides large
subject pictures. Rubens was very unlike
his pictures. In his paintings the escape
from excess is always only very narrowly

Englishman. Sir Dudley Carlton. called him
"the prince of painters and a gentleman"

democratic and loyal to democratic princi-
pies.
The attitude that the democracy should
take toward great capitalistic organiza-
tons now is precisely that Of Jackson to-
ward the United States Bank, which APP
peared as menace in his day.
The property right of every man and of
every organization of any kind must be re-
spected. but today, as in the days of Jack
son. 1t is necessary to declare that no power
shall rise UP greater than the government,
or menacing to the government.
The democrats of today must declare,
and they must mean, that no matter how
great the wealth Of individuals or corpora
tons, that wealth must not be an irreSpon-
sible dominating power In government.

Money in Elections.

No organization Of money, however great,
must override the votes of the citizens, or
deprive of his vote any single citizen.
The activity of trusts in politics and their
power in government have been, unfortu-
nately, great, and very plain to all in re-
cent years. The trusts absolutely inimcai
to the public welfare have been able to
dominate In both parties by giving special
rewards TO INSCRIPTIONS bosses, and thus
nominating on both sides candidates sdbse-
quently controlled by the trusts.
Money has been used before elections to
influence nominations and to defeat the
public Will on election days.
And after election money is used to bride
legislatures, TO buy laws that organized
capital wants, to buy immunity from
laws passed In the peoples interests.
There are certain Imperative demands
which represent the popular will at pres
ent. But these demands, based on justice
and right, do not cali for any new theory
Of government, for any new political or So
cial system In our nation.
They simply demand enforcement Of
American principles, Of democratic princi
pies. SIS those principles have existed for
more than a century.

Eight-Hour Law.
The people beyond any question demand
open primaries and the passage of direct
nomination laws to bring the government
directly under the control Of the people.
The passage of such laws would be purely
and simply democratic. For democracy de-
mands. above all. the greatest good for the
greatest number.
And the welfare Of the majority demands
that the voters shall have all possible con-
troll of those whom they put in office.
The enforcement of the eight-hour law
In government work. the enforcement of the
law concerning the prevailing rate of wages,
Is demanded by the people, and it is de-
manded by "a democratic principle as old as
the Declaration of Independence. Control
by the government of railroads and railroad
rates means control of a national necessity
upon which the prosperity and the comfort
of the whole people depend.
The people demand honest, rigid govern
ment Inspection and control of the banking
department and the insurance department
In the state of New YORK That again is
simply an expression of democratic doc
trine.
The welfare Of the people depends upon
honesty on the part of those to whom their
savings are intrIsted. 1t is plain, old fash
ioned democracy to demand that the gov
ernment shall protect the savings of the
honest citizen and protect his family
against dishonesty in banking in insur-
anceN concerns that operate under govern
ment sanction.
