Use h Power.

To accomplish this. means of course a
certain Increase In the use of-not the
eminent. The power already exists. It
does not have to be created. the only
question is whether it shall be used or
left iGle-and meanwhile the corporations
over which the power ought to be exer-
ctsed viii not remain idle. Let those who
object to this increase in the use of the
only power available, the national power,
be frank, and admit openly that they pro-
pose to abandon any effort to control the
great business corporations and TO eXef-
else supervision over the accumulation
and distribution of wealth; for such SUI
pervision and control can only come
through this particular kind of Increase
OF power. We no more believe In that
empiTicism which demands absolutely un-
restrained individualism than we do in
that empiricism which clamors for a
deadening socialism which would destroy
the country with a completeness that not
even an unrestrained ndivtduallsm Itself
could achieve.
The danger to American democracy lies
not in the least in the concentration Of
Misunderstanding power in responsible and
accountable hands. 1t lies in having the
power insufflciently concentrated. SO that
no one can be held responsible TO the
people, for its use, Concentrated power
is palpable, visible, responsible, easily
reached, quickly held to account. Power
scattered through many administrators,
legislators. many men who work
behind and through legislators and adj
rinistrators, Is i~mpalpable, is unseen, is
irresponsible, can not be reached, can not
be held to account. Democracy is in
peril wherever the administration of po-
ltical power is scattered among a va
riety of men who work in secret, whose
very names are unknown to the common
people. 1t is not in peril from any man
who derives authority from the people,
who exercises 1t in sight of the people,
to give an account of it's exercise to The
people.
