our government be an agency

We are becoming increasingly

The Rise Of
Democracy

Our government is becoming
increasingly democratic. We are
drifting far from the standards
set up by the fathers. The
more democratic we become, the
farther we depart from the in
tention and essence of the Con-
stitution. The Constitution was
devised to keep the election of
the president and the national
senators out of the hands of the
people. Hence the electoral
college, and indirect election of
senators. AT the inception Of our
national life there was wide
spread distrust of democracy.
There was lack Of faith in the
ability OF the people to rule. Onr
Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers
certaiuly were not democrats.
They sought to establish an ex-
elusive theocracy in New Eng
land. To be a voter one must bs
a tax payer and a member Of the
church. The Declaration of In
dependence referred with en-
phasis to men being free and
equaP', but at the time that
document was drawn up one
sixth of the male population of
the colonies were slaves, and
many whites were denied their
full political rights because of
their debts.
If Alexander Hamilton had
been permitted to have his way
the Constitution would have pro-
vided for a president of life
term with full veto power over
all legislation. Thomas Jener-
son was the Democrat Of the
group who drew up the Consti-
tuition. He advocated revising
the Constitution every nineteen
years and thus permitting every
generation to formulate it's own
expression of governmental
principle.
Our present governmental
principles have envolved out of
those primitive ideas that pre-
dominated at the beginning of
our national life. Democracy is
on the increase. The principle
of Democracy are Christian
principles. Democracy defines
government as the instrument
for the diffusion of welfare.

Yates Man Killed
Near WibauX

A fatal auto accident, similar to
the one in which A. H. Lytle lost
his life, occurred Tuesday night at
about eleven o'clock, two miles
east of Wibaux, which resulted in
the death of John Davis, of Yates.
An account of the accident was
giveu to the Chronicle man by
Ralph Adamson, the driver of the
car, and is as follows:
Mr.. Adamson, who runs an auto
livery, was driving his car carry
ing John Davis, Frank Diebel and
Peter Kramer, all Of Yates to Wi
baux- When they were running
along about II miles an hour on
the north side Of the track, about
two miles from Wibaux, the car
ran onto muddy stretch Of road.
The driver attempted to turn out
when the car commenced to skid,
and before he could stop, 1t turn
ed turtle throwing the other o.
cupants out and coming over on
top Of Mr.. Adamson. Pete Kram-
er who was riding iii the front seat
with Adamson jumped clear Of
the car, while Frank Diebel and
John Davis were thrown from the
back seat, the latter striking on
his head knocking him uncon-
scious and evidently injuring him
internally.
A passing car about five min
utes later took the party With the
injured man, into Wibaux, where
he was given medical care. We'd
nesday it was decided to take him
to the Dickinson hospital az. he
was taken there on No. 6 that
evening, but it seems he was in
jured SO badly that nothing could
be done to save his life, and last
evening word came from Dickin-
son that lie bad passed away.
Mr.. Adamson, in speaking of
the accident. says the car skidd-
ed sideways and then turned over
bottom side up. AS Mr.. Kramer
jumped out OF the front seat, he
laid over to that side and hung on
to the steering wheel and was held
under the car until it was lifted off
from him. From where Davis
was PICKED up he had only been
thrown about ten feet.
The car was not badly damaged
two of the wheels and the steer
ing wheel being broken, other
wise there was little damage done
to the car.
Mr.. Davis, the dead man, was a
bartender at Yates, but aside from
that little is known regarding him.

HUMOR IN HIS EXAGGERATl0N
Jabish FurIong's Recital illustrates
the Characteristic That Makes
Maine Stories So Amusing.

Novel and exaggerated smiles and
comparisons characterize Maine
speech. Instead of such commonplace
as "As light as feather and AS
dark as a pocket" the comparisons
are likely to be Forty pounds lighter
than a straw hat" and AS dark as
the inside of a cow"
And it is this same humorous ex'
aggeration that makes many a Maine
story so likeable. Jabish Furlong, who
worked for old man McKusick in hay
ing time, had it.
Il had the greatest luck out cunning
the other day." said Jabtsh. Il was
walking a log across a deep hole IN
the brook, when | see a squirrel up

there and fired, and | fetched down
the squirrel and a partridge besides
that was settin' in the spruce buddin.
But the old gun kicked me into the
brock. Well, | floundered around
