The very basic prlnciple of our gov
erument is government by the MAORI
ty and yet there is great deal of talk
these days about protection of the mi
nority. There is much fear Of mob rule
and the destruction of representative
government all because the progress
sive movement SO rapidly grown ad-
vocstes majority rule.
Here is one mans view of self-gev-
eminent. Addre ssing the New York
lawyers, this man said with great ear
nestness:
1--WE don't believe that all people
are fitted for popular government.
Some of US don't dare say so, but | do;
and the question whether people is
fitted 70: popular government de-
peuds upou the restraint that the mi
nority can place upon the majority to
see that justice is done"
That is explicit, il it not? The mi
norily must restrain the majority,
that is, the minority must rule tie ma
jorily; We are all familiar with this.
" hen this minority is made up of the
mobiles, in purple and fine linen, we
call 1t an aristocracy. When it il COM
posed Of the Iieh and powerful, we cali
It plutocracy. And when judges,
selected from the aristoerstic and plu-
tocratIc minority, reflect in their deci.
sons The economic views Of the minor
ny class from whic b they come, then
we Lave what has come to be called a
Judicial oligarchy. In each case mi.

1t is great satisfaction to the public
that another great robbiEg monopoly
has been called to account in the ex-
press companies ofthe country. There
has probably not been another such
exposure of all the astonishing revela-
lions brought out by recent invesuga-

over which the express companies OPP
crate are owned, principally, by the
same men who control the express
business, that they rob the express COM
panies by taking more'than sixty per
cent of their earnings and that yet the
expresscompanies make forty per cent
dividends and that principally or
