THE PERIL TO DEMOCRACY

TT ERE, then, is a great Industrial
RI demand for servile labor in a
climate to which democracy is
not indigenous. Freedom, like grass,
is exotic on irrigated land. Per-
sonal equality is product of the rain.
Where the rain falls on each mans
field, during the growing season, the
problems of that mans life can be
solved by himself in that field. So
individualism. independence and de-
mocracy developed under the mists and
rains of Europe and eastern America.
But where the moisture falls in, the
mountains in the winter, and must be
used on the plains in the summer, the
problem of life is collective one. No
man can solve 1t for himself alone.
Government, corporation or co-opera-
tive effort must intervene. Out of such
industrial conditions grew the placid
despotism of Egypt and Mesepotamia,
and into such conditions we have arti-
ficially transplanted, at the other end
of the worlds migrations, a modern
democracy, separated from the regions
of its origin by a great barrier of noun
tain and plain. but connected with the
servile orient by the close bond of ocean
transportation. 1t is too much to ex-
pect so artificial a growth to survive in
so strange a land without some arti-
fetal protection.
Under the policy Of laissez faire, the
free play of natural forces would soon
work out the inevitable result 1t has
begun already. The class of free white
farm laborers is disappearing. The
migratory hobo is not desirable, either
as a worker or as a citizen. In the
great fruit industries the harvesting is
being done more and more by orientals,
Indians and Mexicans. The Pacific
coast is the ideal region of the world
for the small farmer, where a few
acres make competency and the isola-
tion of country life disappears. But
there are beginnings which, if un-
checked, would mean the end of the
small farmer also. The Japanese does
not remain a coolie. When he can he
buys or rents land. Wherever many
Japanese settle, as owners or renters,
white men move out surrendering to
the Japanese a voluntary monopoly.

trip lasted about a month, the ad-
Venturers having to turn back from
Mexico on account of the bad roads
encountered. The party made its way
slowly down the coast after reaching
Los Angeles, stopping at all the prin-
cipal towns and visiting most of the
missions and places of interest, but
turning at San Diego and coming back
to Los Angeles by the inland route.
The expense of such a trip amount
ed TO but little more than it would
cost for one to live at home, as the
party was able to stop at any suitable
place along the route and shoot quail,
Snag a bunch of fish, build a good
fire by the roadside and have a supper
that would suit millionaire on mere
ly the results of a good days sport.
After the evening meal was over and
night had come on it was a simple
matter to turn on the lights, get out
q newspaper which had been pur
chased at the last town through which
they had passed during the day and
enjoy the days news before making
UP the bed.
The possibilities Of such a trip in
Southern California are almost I'M
limited, as the motoring party does
not have to wait for the summer sea-
son to undertake it, the equitable eli
mate of our southland making it pos
sible for such a jaunt during any sea-
son Of the year
In fact the winter is much more de-
sirable than the summer in many re-
spects, that is if one will time the trip
to avoid the rainy season. The wealth
er is cooler, there is much more game
and it is a we'll known fact that the
climate here in the south is much
more desirable during what we call
our winter season. than it is during
the middle of the summer months.
Then nature is also seen at her best,
for the hills are green and the entire
country is surrounded by luxuriant
vegetation.

ton and one is pleasantly surprised to
find a fine oval French plate mirror
that can be tilted in any position. This
dresser also contains leather pockets
lined with plush, in which handker-
chiefs, purses and other small articles
can be carried.
A toilet case especially designed for
this car carries a complete combination
set of toilet, manicuring and stationary
articles, such as comb, brush, hand
mirror, needles and thread, buttons,
nail file and poliSher pencils, pens and
paper. This case when folded occupies
a space of only 7x9x3h inches.
After your toilet is complete, this
dresser folds compactly together, the
back of the front seat is lifted out of
position and a folding dining table 22x
Sc inches appears. This table is car
ried by a large folding arm fitting into
a socket on top of the tonneau door.
The table is so arranged that it can be
passed out of the car between the bows
of the top when the meal is being pre-
pared. An imported basket, carrying a
full set of dishes and silverware, sand
witch boxes, glasses, bottles, napkins
ETC., sufficient for four persons, is con-
veniently located on the left stepboard
of the car. This case, like the trunk in
the rear, is water and dust proof A
full set of automobile aluminium cook
ing utensils is also carried, that not
only supplies gas for the headlights,
but is connected with a one-burner gas
stove furnishing heat for cooking.
When everything has been prepared on

tonneau and two on the front set,
which, with the back removed, enables
them to face the rear The table swings

nv HE adaptability of the wonderful
California climate, and especially
- that of Southern California, to
motoring is not remotely appreciated
by the motorists of other sections OF
the country.
Recently r. NJ Smith and wife of
San Francisco passed through Los An
geles in a White steamer on their way
to Mexico, their car being Veritable
hotel in accommodations, having a
Jap as a servant to get the meals and
to keep the moving hostelry in order.
BY a very simple contrivance MI.
Smith was able to SO arrange the
front seat of his car that it could be
used for ordinary purposes in the day
time, while at night it could be folded
back and made into a very comfort
able bed chamber. If the night, were
fcggy or rainy the sides of the car
were covered with curtains and the
electric lights turned on so as to make
the interior almost as comfortable as
a fireside
Camping outfits of all sorts were
loaded on the steps and in the rear,
while oil and provisions were obtain
able almost every day at any one of
the numerous small towns which were
passed through, so that no worry was
necessary on that account. The Jap
found a place to sleep on the outside
of the car in a small hammock which
was set up at nightfall. The journey,
being simply for pleasure, was taken
slowly, the average day covering about
100 miles, and if a point of especial
interest was reached a stop of one or
two days was enjoyed, relieving the
monotony of continual travel to a
marked degree.
Many of the principal towns Of the
southern part of the state were Wis
tied, including Paso Robes. Santa
Barbara, San Diego, Oceanside, Bak-
ersfield, Fresno, Monterey and Stock

Time has proven that when the
Benton Seminary was established
Camden made a good investment.
We refer to this with pardonable
pride, for, as managing editor of
the Benton County Enterprise in
1888, we inaugurated movement
for a good school building and a
bank. Week in and week out we
hammered on these two PROPOSE
tions until they were an accom-
plished fact. They were built by
private enterprise, Judge Joseph
e: Jones, the late lamented A. G..
McRae, and others whose names
we can not recall at this moment
financed the Benton Seminary and
the Camden Bank and Trust Co.
We have always chung to the idea
that a good school is towns best
asset. No railroad, manufacturing
plant or bank can be of as much
value to the town and county.

When the five minutes had expired
lad of nine years stood up and
said: "Well, sir, habit is hard to
overcome. If you take off the first
letter, it does not change 'abit.
IL you take off another letter, you
still have bit left. If you take
off still another, the whole it re-
mains. Ifyou take off another, it
is not totally used up, all of which
goes to show that if you want to
get rid of habit you must throw it
off altogether" He won the prize.
