THE WH4TNEss OF 4 DEMOCRAT

contemporary that Mr.. Bryan failed signallv
last week in his attempt In its columns TO define
Democracy. But we are prepared 10 agree with
Mr.. Bryan that 'The World" has also missed
the mark ia its elaborate solution of a great sci
entific and psychological mystery
Reduced TO plain terms, Mr. Bryan's answer
was that Democrat was an "anti-FederaIist"
and antl-aristocrat-" But, rs we pointed Off

The Democratic party has elected President
only twice in the last fifty years. and as there
are hardly enough "FederaIists" and "aristo

single voting precinct in a single state the long
succession OF Democratic defeats remains abso-
lutely unaccounted for. If all the beliavers ,n

men more than half Of them do NOT vote tho

4 FAITHFUL BOARD.

The retiring Rapid Transit Commissioners have
served the city faithfully, devotlng to the pub
lie time which they could spare with difficulty
from their own affairs Their record has been
one OF great public spirit and If the people have
shown less realization of this in tho last veor
or two than they did Immediately after the com
pletlon Of the subway, the great achievement or
the commission, II has been because OF n grow
Ing sense that the transit problems OF this CITY
were becoming too complex TO be handled in the
nara FOUND leisure hours of busy men But men
or that character were exactly what the slt,,o
ton demanded when the board was created. A
subway had been a municIDal aspiration TO-
nearly generation, but no one would put uonav
INTO the venture. Men of wealth and large husI
ness interests at the head Of the enterprise were
an assurance to capital They could Invite II es
men unconneCted with great commercial Affairs
could not, and they were a guarantee tbot miII
IONS invested In building the subway would nor

Impressed every one at that time as an imnor
thnt achievement, and we feel sure thar contan,-
poraheous opinion was a better Judge of thn dif
nculty than Is uncrtical afterthought.
Inc chief criticisms that have fallen unon tho
commission have been that 1t was overaenerops
IN its terms for the first subway and that II
mas been Slow In extending the rapid transit
system. The first criticism overlooks the nat
uraI dlstrust OF an untrIed enterprise. while the
failure 10 extend the subway system has been
uue 10 the uhreadiness OF investors to enter the
field under the conditions now apnarentI,, do
manded by public sentiment. The commissioners
would be the last men 10 assert that their WORK
mas been entirely successful, but they have been
unseifshly devoted to their laborous service and
they deserve the gratitude of the community.

equality of rights aud opportunity. But the whole
face Of the social and political world has al
tered since Jeffersons time, and many of the
most ardent Jeffersorans nowadays are willing
10 discard the weapon Of individualism and to
seek their aims through the opposite method or
state aggra adizement and semi-socialistic con-
troll.
Mr. Bryan still processes some loyalty to in
dvidualism But 1t is only Il surface loyalty.
For what is vital in his political policies is their
assertion of the right of the state TO do anything
and everything necessary for the indlViduaIs
protection and welfare. He is a cOmmunistic
Jeffersonian while The World is trying to be
an indlvidualistlc Jetfersonian, and neither
seems to understand that they can both be JEFF

not both be Democrats long, for the Democratic

into treaty obligations guaranteeing the status
quo in East Asia. In so doing they gave the
strongest possible guarantee of continued peace
in that part Of the world. They also reduced
to the minimum their own need of armamentS
against each other, and therefore their entire
need Of armaments. Again, Great Britain and
concerning their respective rights in Africa to
the effect that the status quo should be pre-
served. That was a guarantee of peace in that
part of the Dark Continent, and it removed the
need and the sense of need of their arming
against each other. Still later Great Britain
and Spain and France came TO an agreement TO
maintain the status quo in the Western Med
iterranean and elsewhere, and thus covered that
part of the world with guarantee of peace
That is peacemaking or peace guaranteeing at n
rate which the congress at The Hague might
envy.
In Olden times nations sometimes entered into
compacts for aggression and conquest. We can
scarcely imagine civilized nations venturing
so to affrOnt the worlds sense of justice as to
do that now. Instead, they enter into compacts
for nothing more than defence and for the keep
ing of the peace. Obviously, as Mr. Seward sug-
gests, If all the nations OF Europe should make
such treaties among themselves the need and
the sense of need of great armaments would van
ish. There can be no more effective work for
peace than that which soveregns and presidents
and their diplomatic agents are doing in making
these treaties for mutual protection, peace and
safety. II will do more to abate the burden of
overarmament than anything else which has
been or which seems likely to be devised.

The trials of drafting a railroad law that does
not hurt anybody appear anew in the complaint
of the Kansas farmers against the working of
the Hepburn bill. The director of the Kansas
Free Employment Bureau has officially informed
the Interstate Commerce Commission that the
former effective plans of sending harvest hands
to Kansas have been thwarted by the new law.
Formerly five men constituted party and Sc
cured party rates. but now fifteen are required,
and because of the delays and cost of raising
such large parties Kansas is said to be facing
ruin" When the Kansas farmer says he is

SOME MODEST DEMANDS.

The socialists must have been holding night
school courses for the benefit of municipal en-
plOyes, If we may judge from the modest de-
mands made by the garbage wagon drivers who
are now imperiling the health OF a million or
two people by a strike. Commissioner Craven
announces that these men, who have apparently
been enlightened by magic lantern lectures on
the Rights of Man, sterny request the Street
Cleaning Department TO make the following con-
cessiOns:
First-They must be allowed to trot their
horses when they like.
Second-They must have the privilege of us
ing their own judgment In deciding whether or
not loads shall be taken on late In the afternoon
Third-Their superior officers must be re-
strained from maintaining the present rigid sys-
TEN of discipline for which one time football
hero is notoriOusly responsible.
Fourth-The Commissioner must see to II
that the strikers receive full pay for striking
and sitting around the matted froth discussing
The Duties of a Citizen
The variety Of socialism or anarchIsm ex-
pounded by the garbage wagon drivers has all
the beauties Of the academic kind. All men are
to be treated alike by the government, whether
they be workers, strikers or Ioafers Every
honest man resents being ordered about bv
Would-be superors. If the gang wants TO knock
OH III the middle of the afternoon, why let the
q
lash the cty's $500 draft horses into n gal
lop; streets must be left uncleaned and arrogant
young superiors with cranky notions on dIscI
pline must be ignored
Some people who have not studied socialistic
science protest at the effect which the wagon
drivers theory must have on city streets, but
the drivers retort that If bacterial plaques
should sweep off thousands OF people while the
refuse collectors were taking n vacation the
1auit would lie wholly with the microorgansms
Baclli must be taught to adjust themselves
peaceaoly to a soclalistic world and make 1t pos
sible for street cleaners 10 do as they please
without bringing on a typhoid or cholera epI-
demic. If nature conflicts with socialism so
much the worse for nature. But we still wish
that before the drivers struck they might have
converted a few quintillon bacteria to their the
