The Paramount Law of Democracy

The Paramount Law of Democracy
Democracies are based on the
rule of the majority. There is no.
thing so sacred as the principle that
what the greater number demand
shall be granted. II is the funda-
mental law in which all republics
are grounded. the one ON which
political parties contest for the
right to manage them. Every de-
mand is made in the name of the
majority, and the sacredness OF
that majority is the tenet of faith
oftenest recalled and most strenu-
uusly insisted upon.
Is it not then to be held the
least bit odd that the very party

last year, they are this season put

In varieties they have selected

which they have. secured for seed

DECLINE OF SEA-POWER IN
 FICTION

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Probably few persons were surprised at an announcement of the death of ". Clark Russell, except those who sup
 posed he was dead long ago. This is an Illuminating commentary on the changes which take place in public taste. Thirty years ago Russell was perhaps the most popular novelist in the English speaking world. Every year he turned out several stories reek-
 ing with brine, filled with fine descrip- tions of the sea and with no little good
 characterization. The action was all ways swift and the love stories were agreeable, even if there were few "prob- lens" and not much of what in these
 days we call psychological exemplifi- | cations"
 But who reads Russells stories TOW Only those who browse around second hand bookstores or haunt libraries. Ii | is a pity, because the stories he wrote | had a charm that is not found else where. It has been said that he got his inspiration from Cooper, but that is
 hardly fair, for there was little in com
 mon between the two except the sea itself as the principal part of the scen- ario.
 ] In fact there has been a decline of interest in sea stories. In part this may be because few authors are writing such stories now, but more so because
 the sea Is no longer romantic. Steam
 and gasoline. airships and wireless l telegraphy have conspired to make sea going rather prosaic and the white
 wings of merchant ships are hardly ever seen any more.
 | Those who love good stories for their own sake will find it worth while to
 look up some of Clark Russelis tales but the fact is that the current output
 of fiction is so great that most persons can't begin even to catch up with it
 and so some of the older, and possibly better, books grow dusty on the shelves
 Still many people will care to shed some symbolical tears emblematic of the sea
 which Russell made so delightful to Us | in his many novels.

1 From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The postmaster at a little crossroads village in western Kentucky has been arrested for "bootlegging.' It is neces-
 sary for postmasters at offices Of that class to piece out their incomes, un-
 less they chance to be sufficiently
 well to do to admit of their holding non-remunerative position by way Of pas time. The unfortunate postmaster who resorted to bootlegging was not an Idle rich man who could afford to be post master for the fun of the thing. Living,
 as he was, in "dry" territory he took
 advantage of the opening that present.
 ed itself and began selling booze as a side line.
 The federal government will not know ingly permit an official peddler of stamps to peddle liquor. looking upon the two lines of activity as incompatible. As the sale of the booze increased the sale of stamps. 1t is presumed, fell off and the general efficiency of the postmaster was somewhat impaired. So it happen ed that the "goblins'' of the internal revenue department descended upon the postmaster and bore him away to Owensboro and placed him behind the bars where neither liquors nor postage stamps are abundant.
 In addition to losing a salary of some SIS a year the postmaster finds him. self in a position where it will require several years salary and much of the money that he has amassed in the boot logging business to square accounts with Uncle Sam. In the meantime new post master will take his place and the pos tage stamps will gradually lose the in- ternal revenue odor which has charac- terized them in recent months. The post office will not be so busy a place as it was in the days when the 1ure of the demijohn brought numerous thirsty cus- toners several times a day to inquire for letters that never came and which, in point of fact, were never expected. It goes without saying that the postmas- ter will be missed by large circle of friends. especially those who also miss their mornings morning and refuse to be comforted by hard cider and pump water
