Today in History

II you think you won't be here 80
years hence. TO get verdict of his
tory on these lively times, perhaps
you will be interested in the contem-
poraneous remarks of Ferrero, au-
thor Of The Greatness and Decline OF
Rome"
Ferrero says we have entered upon
an entirely new phase of American
life The day OF representative gov
eminent, dominated by party names
and party philosophy, has passed
away. We have a vast cosmopolitan
population congested in cities. and 10
| this mass OF voters we have given the
power OF direct action at the polls.
What will they do? They will ig-
more party traditions and the century
old division between the ideals or
Hamilton and OF Jefferson, and pin
their faith to great individual leaders.
What then will the leaders do with
us? That depends on their culture,
their social tendencies and the direc-
ton OF their personal ambitions.
Ferrero doesn't undertake TO pre-
| dict the outcome. His point is that
the American people are now expert
ercing the transition from the rule or
q class OF public men who formerly
represented them in the political con-
vention and electoral college, in leg
| islature and congress 10 the rule OF
dominating personalities who Will
mold the action of the masses at the
primaries, and in the exercise of In
/ itiative. referendum and recall.
Our suspicion is that Ferrero, look
ing backward TO Roman history and
treering forward into the misty future
OF American democracy, fears We are
treading on dangerous ground.
I But he must admit one thing: What
ever evils we may have today came
out of the rule of the superior few
rather than the direct rule OF the
many.

Chicago and makes IL perfectly plain
that he is not only ready TO bolt, but
that be will probably succeed In leav-
ing the impression in the country that
he really represents the majority or
the genuine Republican representa-
tives in the convention, the practical
politicians are a bit puzzled. They
do not relish theomotion OF being swept
aside as so much lightweight debris
by the Roosevelt avalanche.
The fact is clear that Taft, II he is
nominated, will be named by the
southern office-holders and the north
