The Drift OF Democracy.


if he observes a strong tendency
towards democracy in this country
provided be means by democracy
Il growing disposition and habit of
the people to direct legislation to-
wards tho needs and uses OF the
masses and increased tendency to
oppose the control of legislation
and of affairs generally by the
large financial and industrial inter-
ests.
But he is astray if he thinks he
sees any tendency in the Demo
cratic party to challenge the peo-
pie by every possible means to de-
pend upon themselves rather than
upon fostering powers lodged in
groups or individuals"
The Democratic party is not
challenging the people to depend
upon themselves, but it is to the
forefront in the modern movement
of collectiveism and paternalism
in government. The Populist par
ty, which was all paternalism, was
evolved from it and has been reab.
sorbed by it. Nearly every large
declaration of Democratic national
platforms 10 recent years has been
declaration that the government
should do something for all the
people which hitherto the people
have done for themselyes-if done
at ail-or should protect the people
from evils against which they have
in the past been compelled to de-
fend themselves.
Republican platforms have also
been loaded with propositions for
the paternaI care of the people by
the government-often similar
declarations being contained in
both, the chief distinction being,
in many cases, that the Democrats
have endeavored to preserve the
power of the States while looking
after the people paternaIly.
This shows the drift of the
country is toward collective demo.
cracy, and not the individual self
reliance democracy DR.. Wilson
speaks about. Democracy Of SEN
timent and action is undoubtedly
growlng-not only here, but al
over the world. Indeed, we are
somewhat tagging behind the pro
cessiOn in some manifestations OF
it. But it is collective and social
istic in its tendency, not individual
istlc.
Neither the Democratic part,
nor the Republican is "chalIegins
,he people to depend upon them
Selves" but both are pushing then
in the direction of dependence up
on the government. We shall have
more democracy of government il
the future, but it will be that sor
of democracy where the peopl,
care for themselves through gov
ergment activities instead o.
through individual activities.
If DR.. Wilson sees any Other
democratic tendency in this
country-or elsewhere-he mus
see it in books, not in a study o1
the people and the conditions oi
life Of to ,dsy.-6s. Louis Star.

Mr.. and Mrs. j s. Mooring hospit-
ably entertained Thursday evening at
eight-thirty in compliment to the la
dies of the Entire Nous club and their
husbands. The party in its appoint
ments and decorations reflected sim
pie and beautiful elegance in design.
The handsome Mooring residence was
touched throughout with blossoms and
green in dainty reception array. The
affair was conducted after the perfect
style of the host and hostess and the
special feature of the evening was
bridge. The freshness of spring was
apparent in the adornment of the
pretty rooms, rich yellow and red
nasturtiums tastefully arranged in
bowls and vases were prettily distrib-
uted in the dining room together with
jardinieres of handsome ferns. The
gracious and charming hostess had
| further enhanced their home with a
Sc inS of handsome ferns and palms,
which against the green of the re-
ception hal produced fresh and in
viting harmony. Pink LaFrance roses
lent a lovely floral environment in
the parlor wherein table swere placed
/ for the card game and the score cards
very artistically embodied the spring
flower in water colors. The scores of
the pleasant and exciting games were
kept by Misses Lucille Demarett and
Irene Board. Refreshments of chick.
en- salad, cheese straws, olives, sand
witches and apricot ice was prettily
served and each guest was delighted
to have enjoyed Mr.. and Mrs. Moor
ing's hospitality.

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES

A charming hospitality of the week
planned on unusually artistic and eff
fectiye lines was the rose and butter
fly card party given on Wednesday
afternoon when Miss May Wilson en-
tertained the Bachelor Girls club at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. f. Wilson This was one of the
most beautifully appointed and notab-
ly handsome entertainments given
this year. On entering the home the
home the first thing that greeted the
eye was the decorations. Lovely but
terflies and roses, emblems Of the
spring, formed the motif of the decor
ations and appointments, the perfect
and effective ensemble reflecting the
hostess Characteristic attention to de-
tail. Beautiful colored and gilded
butterflies were so gracefully placed
on the lace curtains and twined
around the chandeliers that they
seemed as though they had flown in
through open windows for the pretty
roses within and had rested in these
places. The table in the dining room
from which minis and nuts were serv-
ed was one of unusual beauty, the col
or plan of pink and green prevailing
throughout the arrangements. The
center decoration of the dining table
was suggestive of the month of May.
Clunny lace overlaid the polished sur
face and placed on this was love-
" May pole made with pink ribbon,
finished at the top with bunch of
pink forget-me-nots. Extending from
the top were numerous pink ribbon
streamers reaching to the hands OF
pretty bisque dolls daintily dressed in
rink satin dresses wearing picture
hats trimmed in forget-me-nots, as
though they were dancing around the
May pole. Placed at two corners OF
the table were small May baskets,
the handles being tied with pink rib
bon and filled with pink and white
mints. On the opposite corners were
cut-glass dishes filled with sailed
nuts. From two large bouquets of
roses in the dining room were seen
dainty butterflies poised as If ready
for flight and these were the score
cards, and as the guests drew butter
fly then the places at the card tables
were found and the game OF bridge
was begun. The library and hall were
very prettily decorated in nasturtiums
'erns and lovely butterflies. The re-
'reshment plate was especially dain-
y and appetizing. Fruit ice and cake
ere served, the ice being in pretty |
link rose cups and placed on each
)late as a souvenir of the party was
I pretty colored butterfly.

six to meet Miss Mikell of South Car
DINA, charming and attractive young
lady, the guest of Misses Frances and
Esther Davis, of College, who together
with their guest were spending the
day and evening with Miss Buchanan.

her entertainments are always well
planned and executed and her aptness
for delightful ways of passing an even
ing is well known The cheerful rooms
were a perfect bower of cut roses in
every hue, and the ferns and palms
added much to the beauty of the oc.
casion. The dining room table from
which refreshments were served was
very prettily decorated in sweet peas.
The effective blossoms filed recepta-
cles elsewhere about the room. To
do justice in word picture to the re-
freshments is impossible-a most APP
petizing salad lunch with iced tea was
prettily served. The afternoon being
appropriate in the extreme each guest
felicitated herself upon the honor con-
ferred on her in receiving an invita-
ton and showered congratulations up
on Miss Gussie and her mother, who
assisted in entertaining, upon the sue
cess of the party, for they certainly
excelled themselves or this occasion.
At a late hour the guests departed af-
ter thanking Miss Gussie for the pleas

Mr.. Dee Sustains Serious Stock Loss.

Mr.. Thos. Dee, of this city, who
farms extensively down in the Cliff
tonville neighbOrhood, sustained a
serious loss ofstOck within the past
few weeks, due to tick fever. Mr..
Dee has a large herd of cattle and
they had been free from ticks UNI
till recently, when an infected cow
was brought into the drove and
straightaway the other cattle be
came infected and tick fever of Il
malignant type developed. Mr..
Dee lost twenty-five head of fine
cattle as a result of tick fever and
others were sick.
This is but one instance of the
results of tick fever in this county
and instances like these are rapid
ly cementing public sentiment in
favor of tick eradicatiOn.-COlum-

valley neighborhood, where he was
arrested by Mr.. r. A. Cunningham
and the stock recovered. At the
preliminary trial Logan was bound
over to await the action of the
grand jury in the sum of five hun
dred dollars in each case.
The developments at the trial
were of q sensational character.

store Of Ledbetter & Gaines at
Crawford some time ago and con
Quoted the officers to his home,
where some of the stolen property
was located. 1t is understood that
he implicated two other negroes
