COLLEGE BOYS ON A STRIKE
Delaware College Upper Classmen Re-
sent Rulings of Prof. Sturgis


Because they were conditioned
by Professor Thomas L. Sturgis, in
charge of the electrical engineering
department, between fifty and sixty
students of Delaware College at
Newark, went on a strike yesterday
morning when the faculty failed to
comply with their demands for the
resignation of the instructor. AS a
result of the strike, no classes or
recitations were held during the
day, and while the situation seemed
to be pretty much up in the air last
night, the prediction was made that
matters will be adjusted soon, prob
ably within two or three days.
After the students had objected to
being conditioned, they went to the
faculty with the written demand for
the resignation of the professor, and
when they were informed that the
faculty had no power to act in such
a matter. the students. after at
tending chapel yesterday morning,
went on a strike. The striking
students comprise the bulk of the
membership in the senior and junior

Representative democracy has fail
ed, failed to establish justice to the
average man. Political party rule
has failed. All history shows that
Plato's dream Of an expert govern
ing class is pure fiction. The Amer
lean people now demand a pure dem
ocracy, the necessary machinery to
enable the individual citizen to pass
on politics and public measures.
This is the great twentieth century
issue in politics on this continent.
So far this government has been on
ly a representative democracy-we
now want a real pure democracy.
We want to give this fair and ex-
tensive trial. A majority Of the mid
die class of the American people be-
lieve that by means Of such a sys-
tenn, a pure democracy, the evils of
this nation can be gradually correct

uated. It now behooves all old pop
ulists who dropped their armor some
fifteen years ago to wake up and do
their duty as citizens of the country
Of Washington and Lincoln.

At last we have got a real political
issue, not simply details of frag-
ments from the old political parties
Of the past. Pres. Taft has consti-
tuted himself the leader Of those who
believe this is, or should be, Pla-
to's Republic; Of those who believe
in a governing class, and a governed
class, with or without the consent
of the latter. Pres. Taft has at that
New York speech where he publicly
announced this rule of the few over
the many doctrines, laid the plat
form Of new American political
party-the party Of absolutism in
America.
The party of the people in opposi-
ton to this, the party who will take
the declaration Of independence for
their gospel-and Abraham Lincoln
for their prophet-have not come
together yet, but the clans are gath
ering and men are choosing sides
whether to fight on Seminary Ridge
or Cemetery Ridge.
This is simply another epoch in the
onward march Of humanity to great
er light of liberty and progress and
human freedom. Since the Civil War
the human hyenas Of greed, of spe-
cial privilege. of political bossism,
have grown and grown, while the or
binary man was busy making iv-

averice and absolutism has reused

shares must be made into pruning
hooks to again redeem humanity or

wide trusts and monopolies, billion
dollar trusts, mind you, such as thu
world never has seen before. These
gigantic concerns reach not only ove1
a continent, but their power is world
wide. The money trust, the stee
trust, the oil trust, the meat trust
etc., etc. have practically corneret
the necessities of modern exis,
tence and are now exploiting the re-
sources Of this continent for the az
grandizement Of a few multi-million
aire families. And so we have ou

ing still admiring this miracle of So
called big business, this very big
business we have been admiring has
become our moral ruin, has corrupt
ed our politics, depraved our private
habits, and debauched the sanctity
of our homes. In the states another
form of political graft is now assum-
ing serious dimensions. I refer now
to the ever increasing number of
state boards and state officers to
lead and guide and take care Of US
ordinary people from the cradle to
the grave. This graft comes under
the form Of a beneficent state pa
ternalism to care for the dear peo-
pie, you know. But the real under
lying reason is to provide soft snaps
at the taxeaters' bench for the de-
generate progeny Of the politician
and the superior degenerate. Eng
land and Germany and Denmark and
Sweden keep their enormous civil and
military establishments chiefly to
provide soft births for their scions
of nobility. We have no nobility in
this country, titled aristocracy,
mean, but our class Of superior de-
generates are increasing by leaps and
bounds every year-University grad.

small dose Of strychnine, 100 Of a

all wide awake true Americans. What
is La Toilette, but very radical
populist? And the Colonel7 Well,
no populist dreamt Of such radical
measures as he boldly advocates.
Oh, yes, the populist party is dead
but its principles are very much
alive. The peoples party sowed the
seed twenty years ago that is now
springing up and bearing fruit,-that
will inside of a reasonable time give
the country Of Washington and Lin
coin a new birth Of freedom.
Pres. Taft has done this country
one invaluable service, he has located
the line Of political battle for this
age. You know that when Gen. Lee
occupied Seminary Ridge that fixed
the battle Of Gettysburg between
Seminary Ridge and Cemetery Ridge.
So when Pres. Taft announced that
this government is a government of
the people for the people by a part
Of the people,-for that is the mean
ing Of the various versions of this
political dogma-he fixed the lines of
political battle for the Goth century
for this nation. Taft possesses one
very estimable trait, he is honest.
There is no discrimination about him.
He is one Of those men from the up
per classes, now so numerous among
leading educators, who do not believe
in the "rule of the people" as Roose-
welt terms the idea of democracy. He
believes, honestly so, I have not the
least doubt, that real democracy is
not practicable. He believes in
Plato's Republic-the rule of an elite
expert oligarchy over the masses.

'The Wolf" is from the pen Of
Eugene Walter, author Of several
dramas, but it is so different from
the usual run Of plays that it leaves
a distinct impression from che usual
run of its own upon the minds Of the
spectators. The story and theme are
new. There is an abundance of
bright dialogue, droll humor and the
pathos and sentiment Of the play are
not Of the artificial sort. The stage
settings are remarkably elaborate
and many Of the scenes are so well
managed as to receive hearty APP
plause. The return engagement OF
"The Wolf" promises to be record
breaker.
