Let the People Rule

This is a country of liberty. All
citizens Of the United States are de.
clared to be free and equal. 1t Is
a government Of aud for the people.
1t is specifically provided that the
people shall rule.
Yet do they? Have they ruled
this country in the last twenty FIVE
years? Have they ruled 1t since
the days of Jefferson? There are
none so brave that they will say
that the people have ruled. They
may labor under such a misappre-
hension or delusion, but deep down
in our hearts we know that we have
been merely tools IN the hands of
greater powers and the power behind
the throne has been the power which
has ruled, and not the people.
The time for change has arrived.
1t is a day when the people should
demand their birthrght. 1t is the
shibboleth Of the present Democrat
ic campaign. Let the people rule
is heard on every hand. Let us
wait and see il they will, or wheth.
er we will continue to remain under
the domination of trusts and COM
bines.
When we think OF existing con.
ditions, when we take a RETROSPECT
tive view Of the political past,
when we see what Inroads have
been made into the rights of the
people, it seems that there is some.
thing more to be done since the days
of the French and Colonial revolu.
tlons, something that has not been
done, but something that must be
done, if we are to progress.
Who are the people? Those who
register and vote regularly, or those
who do not register and do not vote?
Here is the question which must
be answered frankly. When
man does not think sufficiently of
his franchise to register and vote,
he can not be looked upon as a good
member of society. lie is a politi
cal drone, when the hive should be
filled with workers. Unless we as.
sert ourselves at the polls and unless
we take an active part in the politi.
ca! affairs of the nation, the people
will never rule. They will be held |
in abeyance IN future, just as they
have been in the past. 1t is a not
able and at the same time a regret
table fact that the registered vote
of the country shows a steady de.
crease. This is probably due to the
fact that there has been a growing
public disgust of the way public
affairs have been handled. But
this spirit of lethargy must be check.
ed, if things are to be improved,
and the recalcltrants must he
brought to realize this. The people
must rule in this land of ours if the
inspired predictions of our fore
fathers are to be realized. Let us
all be of the people and for the
people and with the people, and ex.
press an opinion at the place of
polling. Commercial Appeal.
