WHY WE HAVE FAILED

That our experiment in popular
government, SO far as we have gone,
is not altogether satisfactory must be
admitted. But, there is nothing in
our experience that need in the least
discourage the friends of popular gov
ernment, while on the other hand
substantial progress is being made to-
ward a realization of the perfection
of human government. The above
may seem to such as have not given
the subject the attention it deserves
as rather optimistic view. But
nevertheless, there is ample and
abundant warrant for such view, as
we shall undertake to show.
First, we assert that our people are
now in the full possession of every
requisite for perfection in govern
ment, except that of intelligence alone.
Next, our contention is that our peo-
pie are learning fast, and that it is
only question of short time when
they will have mastered, not only the
principles of government, but will
have also mastered the details of the
administration OF government, ade.
quate to a perfect function of justice.
Self preservation Ii n law of nature.
History has not yet shown MS a man
good enough to govern others justly
without responsibility to them. As
soon as the whole people learn TO
participate In the government as a
means OF protecting their own inter.
ests. the interests of the majority will
be safeguarded TO the extent that the
majority possesses the Intelligence 10

His Prize

He was very short Of money and
was also out Of job. Wondering
what on earth he could do to meet
the rent he happened to gaze in at the
window of a grocery store, so that he
might feast his eyes on the luxuries
he could not purchase. A bag In the
window caught his eye. On 1t was
written:
"The person who guesses the exact
number of beans In this bag by the
twentieth Of this month will be re-
warded with the sum of $50.' s
He went home, made guess, wrote
a number on a postal card, and to his
intense astonishment gained the prize
when the count took place.
But he was not happy. Oh, dear,
no. His troubles only just began at
that moment. A small crowd OF
friends were awaiting him. They all
wished to congratulate him In the
sane old way, and after leaving them
he was quite S. poorer On leaving
them he went home, only to find
awaiting his arrival one or two book
agents, an insurance man, the butcher,
the baker, the shoemaker, the install
ment fend and the landlord. They
had in some way all heard OF his good
fortune.
He discovered his wife highly elated.
She had, on receiving the intelligence
Of his good fortune, Immediately gone
out and purchased new bonnet,
which she had ordered sent home G..

He hid himself in his bedroom, and
later on a wild-eyed individual might
have been seen furtively stealing out
of the back door, and running at
break-neck speed down the street fol-
lowed by a band of shrieking der
wishes.

veloping the latent powers of our peo
pie. The evils that have afflicted us
most and are responsible for the
growth of Industrial monstrosities
among us are intellectual Incidence
and party slavery The awakening
that is now in evidence is unmistak
able and is genuine contagion.
Party idolatry Is withering before the
fashlight that Is being thrown onto
the lives Of the men who have con.
troled the machinery of the parties
for private ends, in total disregard Of
the public good. The order of the
day is to dethrone party bosses, re-
store the government to the people
through primary system of making
nominations, and the penalizing Of
non-voting both at primary and reg
ular elections.

majority cannot infiict pain upon the
minority without at the same time in
ficting pain upon it's own members.
Therefore, while the right remains in
the minority and the various members
thereof to criticise, without fear, the
government in all particulars, the
minority can, through the work OF
education, make their own views the
views of the majority at subsequent
election.
But, it may be asekd, how will it
become possible to make the whole
people participate in the government?
While conceding the power of ma
jority to rule, yet all are forced to adj
nit that the interests of the majority
of the people have been grossly abused
by the government for more than a
generation, during which time the
government has been converted into
an engine to enable the crafty cum
ming and INSCRIPTIONS to plunder the
people under forms of law. True, the
majority have failed to realize their
power and control the government in
their own interest, and have through
Indifference, born Of ignorance, al
lowed a minority to control the gov
ernment and plunder them.
The idea, however, never occurred
to any considerable number, until
quite recently, that our political ma
chinery was at fault and that change
in political methods must be devised
such as will encourage and inspire
the voters to take the helm of govern
ment into their own hands. Neither
did ii occur to many, until quite re-
Gently, that as a means Of self preser
walton the people would not only have
to displace the tried and found want
ing, caucus convention system of max
ing nominations and hereafter nomi-
nate their candidates by a primary
election system, but that they would
have to go further and penalize non
voting.
But now that the people in large
numbers realize the necessity for such
a change, the change is sure to come,
and with it possibilities in the way
of just government, that are SO far
removed from the people under the
caucus convention, as to cause many
to sink into Indifference or despair.
The dawning of a new day politically
is already here. The generation that
is just entering upon the stage of po-
Iiticol action are doing so with a
broader intelligence than did their
They know their power and
will, never, fear, exercise it wisely.
From the nature of things suffl
cient number of our people TO const- |
Lute a majority will never adopt ex-
treme views, or venture any long
step upon untrodden paths. The idea
If liberty so permeates the American |
heart and mind that majority can
never be found on the side of ill-eon-
sidered experiment In the government |

SCREAMS SAVED THE CHILDREN

The frantic screaming of a woman
yesterday afternoon attracted the at
tention of the neighbors of a Mexican
family that goes by the name Of Chino.
1t was evident that n row was in pro-
gress, and word was sent to the mar
shall. He sent Policeman Simkins to
look the matter up and the latter
found that Chino and his wife were
having a dispute over the custody of
their children. Chino ii seems had
become dissatisfied with his wife. and
announced that he was going to quit
her. and would take the children with
him. The woman objected. and let her
objections become known by screaming
at the top of her voice. The policeman
informed Chino that he was pursuing
a course that would land him in the
Gala boose. and offered the advice that
if Chino wanted the children. he would
have to go about it in a legal man
ner. 1t is understood that the man is
inclined to avoid the law IL possible.
and will probably be content to let the
children remain with their mother.
