from the clause in the Declaration Of IN
dependence. To quote Lincoln again; No
man IS good enough TO govern another
without the consent OF the governed.

deal with race not our own. Our deal
ings with the Indians are termed cen

The objection to letting the Islands

Holland and Switzerland. II we do not

Newton B. McDonoush, q Chicago. a
lawyer Of that city. who is here on bus
mess before the departments, and is AZ the
Shoreham. spoke about the modern ten
dency toward Capitalization IN the Amer
lean government yesterday. He said:
We have recently had brought force
fully to our attention the difference be-
tween European government Of Olden
days and to-day. Europe has been ad-
vancing toward liberty ever since Amer
lea set the pace. but along different
lines. We have led the advance toward
liberty from the time OF the Revolution,
but to-day We talk OF Capitalization in
government IL is because we are so
busy with our Industrial activities that
We have no longer any time for politics,
as IN the old days. We have departed
from the old debate, and even the town
meeting is not what Il used TO be. In
our cities We have. tried TO remedy civil
evils by Capitalization Of government. but
this has failed, and why should We expect
the plan TO succeed for the nation2 An
executive to-day is expected 70 control
the legislature and his congress. and We
have been building up executives at the
expense of our legislative bodies. II IS
time TO stop and look and listen and see
II there is any mistake. Madison. JEFF
ferson. and Washington all said that as
lOng as We kept the three departments
OF the executive. the legislative. and the
judicial separate there would be no dan
