VIEWS ON
DEMOCRACY

I'VE are all inextricably hound to-
gether. Therefore. freedom is not go
ing to be a thing Of solitude. or isoia.
tion. or individualism; Il must be a
social thing; in short. must be democ-
racy. What IS democracy? 1t is the
cooperation OF all sorts and conditions
Of men united 70 preserve the rights of
the person and the rights Of property.
The preservation Of the rights. Of the
person and the rights of property Is
the whole structure Of civilization, and
democracy is the cooperative method OF
securing those rights.
I'VE sometimes speak OF democracy
as II its fundamental doctrine was the
equality of men; but there is no such
thing as equality among men in any
proper sense; because human nature
has infinite variety. and the individuals
OF the race exhibit an inequality which
is absolutely and literally infinite. You
can not make men and women alike;
you can not make two children I'm the
same family alike.
Therefore. democracy would be fight
ing the facts Of nature If it sought to
bring about a monotonous equality OF
men. II never undertook that impossi-
BILE job. Democracy simply insists upon
equal security for all proDerties, large
or small and Of whatever sort. The equal
rights Of persons and of property is the
sole OF sense in which democracy means
equality. But democracy does mean CO.
operation. working together toward those
great ends" s."-Ex-President Charles w.
Eliot, OF Harvard University.

ORDER MOTOR CARS
OFF CERTAIN ROADS

RICHMOND, Va. Sept. 2S-owners
Of automobiles and the drivers Of the
same will have little pleasure when
they go to the Hot, the Warm or the
Healing Springs in the county of Bath.
The supervisors of that county have
ordered that on and after September "a
there shall be no automobiles on GER
tain of the roads in that county. As
many of the best highways are includ-
ed in the order closing them to the
users Of cars. the touring In the vicin-
ity OF the resorts named will be con-
siderably restricted. The supervisors
acted under the provisions Of State
law which allows them 10 direct for
what purposes roads shall be used,
the vehicles prohibited from using the
same and providing penalties for those
who violate the laws.
AS the law is general and can be
applied to any county in the state,
It is possible that other counties
may resort TO the same action. especi-
ally i'm view Of the fact that In some
of the agricultural sections there is a
great deal of aversion to having the
machines pass along the highways.
While the regulation Of the super
visors of the county Of Bath do not
go into effect till Friday of this week.
there is already a move on foot to test
the validity of the order by going to
the courts. There is no restriction as
to the driving Of horses and buggies
along the roads, and there are many
iiverymen engaged in business in and
around the resorts named.
