AMERICANS BECOMING
 MORE DEMOCRATIC


 Granted that the great majority of
 Americans of respectable position are
 disposed in these days to favor social
 informality. the question arises: Does
 this indicate growth of democracy,
 or is it due to the increasing propor.
 ton of those who lack either the sur
 plus money or time, or both, to en-
 able them to indulge in social formal
 tiles? We are inclined to favor the
 theory of democratic development
 but we should insist upon qualiflca-
 tion. There have been periods in the
 past during which barriers erected
 to promote social exclusion equally
 with barriers intended for social pro.
 tection have been ruthlessly destroyed
 in the name of democracy. The
 French revolutionary period affords the most striking illustration to be found in history of the lengths to which people will sometimes go in their efforts to reconcile destruction with democracy. Great crimes again st individuals and against society have been committed in the name of democracy. as we'll as in the name of liberty. The fallacy that democracy means leveling down is not yet en- tirely abandoned.
 But in our times. we believe, 1t is largely overbalanced by the truth that democracy means leveling up. In any we'll regulated community or neigh borhood today there is greater incen. tive to social inclusiveness than there Is to social exclusiveness. Going "out of ones class" does not have the meaning it once conveyed. Modern relationships-closer contact, increas- ing intermingling. community of in. terest and aim, common recreations and amusements. the spread of educa- tion, the recognition of mutual rights and obligations. the decay of special privilege, the disdain of unearned credit, the voluntary rather than the force acceptance of the claims of human equality and fraternity, all cemented with common sense and spiced with wholesome appreciation of the umorous-combine to demo. cratize the race.
 Real merit, true worth, does not need in these days to be tagged, tick. eted or distlnctively logged. The average man and the average woman prefer the natural to the affected, the easy to the strained, the informal to the formal, leaving the reverse of all of these to the novel and the stage. But this need not mean the destruct. ion of qualities, customs and observa- 1ces that have proved their right | 10 conservation and respect. Rather, We think, 1t means that the well dress ed, educated and refined are no long, er so much class apart; that larg. 'r and larger percentage of the popu- ation every year is rising to the social plane upon which true democracy 'rospers. It means, in short, a high. 'r popular conception of the meaning md mission of democracy.-Christian Science Monitor.

TRIBUTE TO DEAD
 FRENCH STATESMAN

With Europe tottering on the verge of universal war, Jean Jaures died by an assassin's bullet, the victim of a consistent championship of the cause of peace. For years he had stood at the head of the preliminary Socialists in their protest against the madness of militarism and the appalling waste of big ornaments. He had served as the political spokesman of the work. ing classes in their persistent plea that the domestic welfare and social progress of the nation be placed above the policy of revenge and implacable hatred. By the irony of fate he Der. ished at the very hour when the brute passions of neighboring peoples seem- ed about to triumph over common sense and the powers of reason.
 Juares was one of the great orators of his day. In the Chamber of Dep utles and from the editorial chair of

Dr. Charles Richet. statistician of tbe University of Paris, estimates that tbe war in Europe will cost the Ma tiops involved S54,125.OOO a day, or approximately twenty billion dollars n year. without allowances for the in' terruution of commerce and industry or war indemnities. He bases his figures on the assumption that 2O'oOV'' OOO men will be under arms and that half that number will be engaged in operations before the war Is over.
