PARTY GOVERNMENT.

The Syndicate, and its subsidized
prosecutors. are particularly and tear.
fully concerned in sustaining party
government" or, as they express it, the
democratic policy of government b,
parties.
1t has been observed that those who
have some Interior purpose in appealing
for popular favor invariably plead the
inviolability of governing by parties.
No one seeks to dispute the PROPOSE
ton that in unity of action those who
have an unity Of purpose in political af-
fairs will sooner achieve the ends they
desire. Such is self-evident fact, but
the contention that parties as such are
endowed with either Immortality or in
volatility is a folly which any reason
ably well versed reader of history can
explain.
Parties in democracies are merely the
means for achieving the ends of popular
government; the rule of the people. for
and by them.
There are party bigots, as there are
bigots in all causes.
To them party is an end.
For it, according to these, government
was instituted, just as the obstinate and
infatuated votary of the American Con-
stitution would and does insist--as Mr.
Taft did in his Oklahoma address-that
from that instrument comes human
liberty and it is not that which it really
is, the mere expression of free people,
delegating certain of their inherent per-
sonal rights to the will and for the bene-
fit of the whole people.
Party, in other words, is a mere in
strument to be used for the success Of
policies which individuals who think
alike believe are for the common good !.
The moment party becomes fetish; the
moment it falls to the use of designing
men or factions, then it is a danger to
the people, to democracy, and its de-
