h an article in the November issue
Of the Woman's Home Companion
Governor Wilson says;
Democratic government has, the
world over, had deep and far-reaching
results. IL has created a new con
ception OF the functions OF govern
ment. II Is not merely that Demo
cratic government is based, as the old
phrase used TO go, on the consent OF
the governed" but that II Is based
npon the participation In government
OF all classes and interests; and
whenever this conception can be real
lied, whenever government is Olsen
tangled from it's connection with spe-
cial interests and made responsive to
the genuine public opinion, through
out the length and breadth OF the
great country, IL at once gets new
IDEALS and responds to new impulses.
IL then becomes an instrument OF
civilization and OF humanity.
America has so prospered, her en-
ergy has been so great and her
achievement hitherto so easy that she
has not until our day felt the real
difficulty and exigency of govern
ment. She has not had time, appar-
emily, amidst her various and expand
Ing industries, to think OF making her
government economical in its admin.
ist-ation and efficient at every poit
as her own business enterprises are
Every dollar that the government
spends ought TO be spent as carefully
as II the resources Of the country
yerc limited. Every dollar Of ex-
penditure ought to mean something
done or provided for the people
Waste is also weakness. Inefficiency
brings confusion
X is part OF the new meaning OF
government, therefore, that Its re-
sources are not to be put at the dis
posal OF governing class or OF any
limited set of governing influences
but that those who exercise its au
thority must keep house" for the
whole people: must use the money
raised by taxes as If II were expended
in trust TO produce the best possible
results In the ordering and sumula'
lion OF our life.
IL Is an interesting circumstance
that government is becoming less and
less a business for politicians: that
minds and energies Of every kind are
turning toward II as part OF the gen
eral enterprise Of life. The reason
we want our government to be free
from every kind of private or narrow
control Is that We want TO have IL see
more things than IL would see IL II
served only few. Those who con
duct It ought to be sensitive to Inn
pulses from every quarter. The
statesman should sit down with the
philanthropist, with the engineer
wl.h the forest expert. with the stu
dent of soils and agricultural meth
ods. with masters OF technical and
vocational education as well as with
financiers and lawyers and manufac
turers and merchants and those
whose interests have usually been al
the center OF policy. Though he can
not himself keep the life Of the ma
ton as a whole In his mind, he can

Not In Market

Il have found said J. p. Morgan
20 the Clapp investigating committee,
that gratitude is a strange commo-
dlty."
That was an expression TO have
been expected from Morgan. A COM
modify, says the dictionary, is some
thing bought and sold"
A king OF finance, like Morgan. prob
ably always believes that everything
has its price, everything-gratitude,
affection, principles, all sentiments
Is to be bought and sold.
A strange commodity Is gratitude,
says Mr.. Morgan, who has doubtless
many times given money away and
received In return what he mistook
for gratitude, while 1t Is likely that
]ie never came upon genuine In
stance OF that sentiment In all his
giving.
Genuine gratitude is not something
to be bought, but something to be
earned through somewhat OF self-de-
nial on the part OF the giver. II is
safe to believe that In perhaps every
one of Mr.. Morgan's instances OF Civ
ing, the recipients first thought was
that Morgan could well AFFORD to give.
The gift was nothing for him to make.
The Detroit times., 1912-10-23

at least make sure that he is taking
counsel with those who know, that
mis- sympathies may be open upon
every side. and that he may seek to
serve civilization and humanity, not
party or any selfish program.
The government Is becoming more
and more a sensitive, registering in
strument Public opinion has accum-
ulated tremendous force In our day,
not only. but IL shows infinite rich
ness and variety. Men OF many oc-
cupations, Of many interests, Of many
aspirations, contribute to 1t. Neigh
borhood meetings, city assemblies.
State conventions, interstate gather
iEGs. national conventions are held
by people OF every sort interested in
every kind of occupation. Debate
stimulates each profession. eacn
Il ade, each class of manufacturers
every union of laborers, every asso
clarion OF agents, and the cumulative
effect upon opinion and upon affairs
is iDcalculable.
The fine results OF 1t all is that the
coLdmon interests Ii becoming more
and more clear-that II is easier &c
see things as a whole IL you will but
resort tor the men who have studied
them as whole.
Government, therefore, in the
United States may be said to be en-
tering upon a new day. That Is the
reason We are so impatient at some
of the old influences which abound
in it; that Is the reason we are sc
eager TO restore it's ideals and "a
broaden its point OF view; and that Is
also the reason why we wish to make
Il absolutely honest, not only, but
thoroughly efficient.
A vast deal remains to be done In
the mere line of efficiency. Indeed
there has been very little serious
effort even yet In the direction OF
making the government Of the United
States as efficient as a successful
business organization would be. For
government is an instrument, not an
object in itself We ought to be in
terested in II only as IL expresses the
purpose OF the people OF the country
The interests OF government In
high prices and an excessive cost OF
living is direct and manifest now
alays. Every law should be altered
which gives rise to conditions which
make II harder for the rank and file
Of men to live. And every meahs
odght to be adopted by which labor
may be kept In heart and made Sc.
cure Of its just earnings.

The Slaughter of the
InnOcents

II a single case OF bubopic plague
We're reported In the city OF Chicago
all the immense resources of that
great city OF Chicago. all the immense
great and wealthy town would be put
at the disposal of the health depart
ment. There would be scores OF san
itary guards; there would be organ
lied squads on rat-hunting expedi-
tions; there would be most rigid quar-
aniine.
And every citizen would be terribly
aroused and terribly anxious.
Now IL SO happens that last year
in Chicago $4,000 babies were born.
Ten thousand OF them died-ands the
great majority OF them died because
OF implre milk supply.
Think of II. Enough babies to pop
ulate .own, sacrificed on the altar
OF greed.
There vas not much excitement
about II. The council did not make
:. .ecisl appropriations for the war on
the pleague.
Isn't II about time that We stop
talking about race suicice and talk a
little more about race-muVer?
What happened in Chicago hap
pens IN every city in the country.
Everywhere the lives OF children
and many grown-ups-are being sac
riiced needlessly and wantonly'
Everywhere the innocents are being
slaughtered at rate that would ap-
pail us, II we were at war with some
other nation.
We speak of peace and prosperity
but there Is no real peace and no
real prosperity SO long as we are SO
callous as to prefer dollars to human
lives.

prints the following extracts from Mr..
Bryan's speech under the head oil

The chief fault OF Mr.. Taft is that
he is constitutionally distrustful OF
the people.
The chief fault of Mr.. Roosevelt is
that he is constitutionally over-trust'
full OF himself.

president who Is: OF Mr.. Roosevelt

dent who will be.

paper may know what they are read
! ing.
II is a very unusual thing that a
man should go into ONCE by a ma
tority Of over a million. and 60 out
of il by unanimous consent.
| While Mr.. Taft thinks that the
masses of the people have not sense
enough to run their own government
Mr.. Roosevelt does not know or any
other human being who has sense
enough to be president
Because his judgment failed him
when he picked out Mr.. Taft, he
seems to have renewed confidence In
his own judgment when he picked ou'
himself.
ON the initiative and referendum,
Roosevelt Is right now, butt four years
ago he sent Mr.. Taft all the way to
oklahoma to oppose the initiative and
referendum.
There is not an ONCE to which
Roosevelt has ever been elected that
he has not been elected TO with the
aid of wall-st.. and the predatory in
terests. never an office TO which he
has been elevated that the bosses
have not helped him.
Mr.. Roosevelt's position is now
well-known, and ! say to you with
deliberation. and yet with emphasis,
that no man in the history OF this
nation hasI ever taken a position or
the trust question so hostile TO the
safety and welfare OF the American
people.

and a half he was president and he
not only did not control the trusts,
but they controlled him.

public institutions. This generation
and the next will, very largely, look
upon such acts as acts of restitution,
and gratitude will enter very little
into the public consideration OF them.
While not a commodity, Mr.. Nor
gan, genuine gratitude Is indeed a
strange thing. II is as rare in poll
