DEMOCRACY IS OPPOSED.
Every Step Fought by Property Own.
ing Glasses, Says T. E, Will.

Every step toward democracy has
been stubbornly opposed by the few, who
have grudgingly yielded to the popular
demand from time to time only what ne
cessity demanded. and it was the few. the
property-owning class, that framed and
secured the adoption of the Constitution
according to Thomas E. Will in a lee
ture before the Study Club in Economies
at Ingram Memorial Church last night.
The topic was. why Democracy in
America Has Failed to Safeguard the
Rights of the People
Mr.. Will maintained that the ''revolu-
tionary fathers were the standpatters
Of their time, so far as democracy was
concerned. and had mo quarrel with
the fundamental British institutions I'M
der which they lived"
Percy H. Skinner spoke on democracy
and Industrial liberty. THE class that
owns the machinery of production always
controls the government. democracy or
no democracy" he SAID. Hence the So
called capitalist domiIAhtion' of today"
Mr.. Skinner thought the hope of the flu
ture lay In collective ownership Of the
socially necessary means of production.

Latest Thing in the Line Of Food
Adulteration.

Quite the latest thing in the line OF
food adulteration has come to the at
tention of the bureau of chemistry in

use of petroleum for making the cream
filling in some of the sandwich biscuits
on the market Just what the substitu-
ton is for. either butter. cream or eggs,
II Is hard 10 say. but il is cheap by the
ton and has no food value. according
to the experts of the. department
In the samples seized the petroleum
represented about 3 per cent in weight
of the crackers Several cans of the
biscuits have been seized and the mat
ter will be tried in court to decide
whether the adulteration comes within
the letter of the pure food law.
