Today In History

IF you think you won't be here 80 years hence, to
get the verdict of history on these lively times per-
haps you will be interested in the contemporaneous
remarks of Ferrero, author of ''The Greatness and
Decline of Rome
Ferrerp says we have entered upon an entirely new
phase Of American life. The day of representative
government, dominated by party names and party
philosophy, has passed away. We have vast cos
mopoltan population congested in cities and to this
mass of voters we have given the power of direct
action at the polls.
What will they do? They will ignore party tradi-
tions, and the century-old division between ideals
Of Hamilton and of jefferson and pin their faith to
great Individual leaders. He in Theodore Roose-
welt the first of line of these leaders who will claim
personal allegiance in place of the party allegiance
that has formerly held sway in America
What, then, will the leaders do with us7 That
depends on their culture, their special tendencies,
and the direction of their personal ambitions. Fer
rero doesn't undertake to predict the outcome. His
encing the transition from the rule of class of pub
lie men who formerly represented them in the poit
ical convention and electoral college, in legislature
and congress, to the rule of dominating personalities
who will mold the action of the masses at the primary
and in the exercise of the initiative, referendum and
recall.
Our suspicion is that Ferrero, looking backward
to Roman history and peerng forward into the misty
future of American democracy fears are treading
on dangerous ground.
But he must admit one thing: Whatever evils we
have today came out of the rule of the superior few
rather than the direct rule of the many.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June II.
The lettuce in the backyard of
451 N. Eighth ST., "Terry Hut"
is comm up right smart, and the
lima beans are sprOuting, to say
nothing of radishes.
And the morning glOries have
begun their climb up the front
porch and the moon flowers are
only a lap behind.
And one of the two peach trees
that Gene Debs brought from Gil
rard, Kas., and planted in the back
yard at 451 North Eighth ST., is
giving certain signs that it's going
to be a regular peach tree some
day; while the other one Is per-

Gan FEED The BIRDS
A Novel Plan Suggested by Postal Au-
thOritieS for Rural Men
ORDER NOT COMPULSORY
Would Give Quail and other Birds Food During
Would Give Quail and Other Birds Food During
the Cold Weather

The rural mail carriers should be
given permission to feed birds while
on their rounds during the cold wea-
ther is the opinion of postal authori-
ties, and there is every likelihood that
dispensation to this effect will come
shortly from the postmaster general,
as result of efforts of Michigan
sportsmen The plan in brief is that
the sportsmen will furnish the feed
and that the carriers will scatter it at
favorable places along the route.
Some time ago an organization of
sportsmen in Muskegon county wrote
Congressman McLauchlan that the
snow and continued cold weather was
making it very hard for quail and par
fridge to scratch up an honest liv-
ing. These birds, Mr. Mclaughlin
was informed, depended largely upon
seed for their sustenance, and when
the ground was covered with snow
for long periods they were unable to
get food. The sportsmen in Muske-
gor county stand ready to buy grain
if Uncle Sam will make it possible
for the rural carriers to distribute it
where it will do the most good 1t
is quite certain that fsportsmen in
this county may want to do the same
thing in the event of favorable ac-
ton by the department
The postofhce department will not
require rural carriers to do this or
other extra work while on their
rounds, but consent will undoubtedly
be given for them to do it in case
they wish to accommodate sportsmen
As there will be little exertion in
volved, it is believed that carriers
will distribute as much grain as the
latter care to furnish
