Strength of Democracy.

President Wilson's Memorial day address,
marked by the calm dignity which has charac-
terzed his public utterances for months. has IN
II one thought OF supreme force. The president
ssid:
Duty for a nation Is made up OF many COM
plicated elements that determine IT, NO
group OF men without wide common counsel can pos
sbiy determine what the duty Of the day Is.
That the strength Of a democracy. because there
daily rises in the great body Of democracy the ex-
preston OF an untrammeled opinion, which seems to
iii the air with its suggestions OF duty and those who
stand at the head OF affairs II their bounden
duty to endeavor 10 express IN their actions
those things that rse out OF the conscience
and hope and purpose OF the people themselves
Carrying his thought little further. the
duty Of this nation is clearly and Enthusiastically
indicated by the thought of the nation. The
strength OF democracy springs from its quality
OF facie responsiveness TO the will OF the people
And this will is expressed so plainly and so easy
to understand that doubt can not exist as to the
purpose OF the people
Popular clamor may swell, and subside, but
II seldom determines final action. The deeper
lying elements find expression in times Of crisis.
when the sober deliberations of the people form
conclusions that are irresistible. The RESPONSE
bility of the individual is the governing factor.

Ninety Miles an Hour.

De Palma's feat Of driving racing motor
at the rate Of ninety miles an hour over dis
lance OF 500 miles. at indianapolis, is notable as
indicating the endurance Of the man and the
machinery. II is not practicable for the average
individual. who will still prefer to travel at a
more sedate rate OF progress, But TO the engi-
neers who designed and the mechanics who built
the car. It is a splendid proof OF theory pat to
the severest test. This means great deal to
auto drivers. for they may feel reasonably sure
that machinery that will stand the terrific stress
OF being driven at the rate of a mile every forty
seconds for longer than five hours. will meet
any requirement of ordinary usage. In this
way, the race at Indianapolis is Of real service.
and the experience there gained Is useful. The
sporting side of the race Is not nearly so Inn
portant as Is It's contribution to the automobile

Realizing a PrOpheoy.

Many years ago The Bee urged that the mat
ter OF reclamation Of the arid west be under
taken by the federal government, II was then
set out that the nature of the projected under
takings was such that it was beyond the power
Of the several states to properly finance and
direct the operations. Discussion which fol-
lowed The Bees suggestion ripened into action
by the government and all over the west may
be noted the benefit of the plans adoption, The
latest manifested effect is the announcement OF
the readiness to open up another section of tho
Belle Fourche project. which has 10000 lcres
ready for the coming of the owners. who viii
buy from the government and will make homes
on what was but a few years ago neglected and
all but useless desert. No undertaking. of the gov
eminent in recent years has been OF greater
benefit to the country a whole than has the
reclamation work. The prophecy made for II at
the beginning has been realized, and yet its pos
abilities have not been exhausted. The Bee
takes justified pride in having been a plonear
in advocacy of this work. and ventures the as
sertion that in time TO come the government will
