penetrating thinker for mankind, and
in the rugged Jackson, who seemed
to cut his way toward the right by
rough instinct and the mere energy
of an honest. indomitable nature; and
so we see embodied in them the two

as of the common people, its abound
ing energy outside as well as within
the field of cultivated thought.
Democracy is not mere theory of
government. 1t is an energy of life
dwelling in the rank and file, inter-
preted once and again by great lead
ers, but not confined to their private
cult and understanding. Its blood is
the blood of the people. It's purposes
are the purposes shared by all man.

rational civilization.
This is the day upon which we ut
ter our creed and renew our views. 1t
behooves us to ask ourselves what our
creed it, and to answer the question
without subtlety or sophistication, in
the plain terms Of everyday life. We
must state our creed in the concrete,
not in the abstract. Our thoughts run
back, of course, to the great Declara-
ton of independence which Jefferson
gave us, but we can not stop with
that. The Declaration of Independ.
ence did not mention the questions of
our day. 1t is a mere starting point
for our thoughts. 1t is Of no conse-
quence to us unless we can translate
its general terms into examples of the
present day and substitute them in
some vital way for the examples it
itself gives, so concrete, so intimately
involved in the circumstances of the
day in which it was conceived and
written. 1t is an eminently practical
document, meant for the use of prac-
tical men: not a thesis for phil
osophers, but whip for tyrants; not
a theory of government, but a pro-
gram of action. Unless We can trans
late it into questions of our own days,
we are not worthy of it, we are not

I'VE say that we are against priv
ilege and for the rights of the people,
but privilege has worn many forms.
What is the especial form of priv
ilege we now fight? How does it en-
danger the rights of the people, and
what do we mean to do in order to
make our contest against 1t effectual?
What are to be the items of our new
declaration of independence?
