Americas greatest thinkers are to-day
directing their attention to disclosures
made by the United States commission
on industrial relations. In a speech at
Chicago few days ago Speaker Champ
Clark said: Il am fain to believe that
the crowning glory of the philosophy,
statecraft, humanitarainism and religion
of the twentieth century will be to de-
wise a scheme whereby every man and
every woman, too, shall enjoy the usu-
fruct of his own labor, and to prevent
one greedy soul from monopolizing the
toll and sweat and lives OF thousands -

THE FUR WOULD FLY.

There is very strong current OF feeling
among members of the Legislature that Governor
Carlson will not re-appoint Volney +. Hoggatt as
register of the state land board. And many of
those who doing things in the big building
on the hill say they are in possession of the dope
this question that will warrant them in back
ing their opinions with sufficient coin to buy the
eats and little something the side Be it
known that Mr.. Hoggatt is oldtmc personal
friend and business partner OF Fred Bonfs of the
Post. and everybody believes that he was named
for the place by Ammons at the request of
Champa street. No question but what the Post
boosted Carlson after primary to the limit and
for one. believe such support brought him many
votes. For weeks the Bonfs paper has doomed
and boosted Hoggatt to such an extent that the
uninitiated would be led to believe that he was
more than mere man and sort Of SUI
perior being. All this was for purpose. The
Post people don't want anything from the Carl
son administration, and it must be true, for they
say themselves 1t was probably base canard
circulated for deterrent effect. that Secretary of
State Ramer was asked by them to appoint ex-
Chief of Police Michael Delany now an attachc
of the Posts editorial rooms, as deputy labor
commissioner and were turned down. Be that as
it may, and taking for granted that the Champa
strcet people have no care regarding the Hoggatt

night to Miss Ethel Raisor, one OF Denvers fair
Young daughters While the wedding was sort
of surprise to the many friends OF the young cou-

CHESTERTON JUDGES THE LADIES

democracy commits u.s. for to whatever It can
really be shown TO commit me l will assent
or give I'd the dogma altogether. ! am not
a rodernst and l cannot hold contradictory
doctrines TO be true. Democracy, then, COM
mits me TO the view that temporal sovereignty
belongs to the whole body Of the people, of
the nation, and that the government OF the
nation should be conducted in accordance with
the general will. It does not commit me to
the view that everybody ought to have vote
or that anybody ought to have vote. Vot-
ing is not democracy; it is at best more or
less useful method of achieving democracy
Surely you can conceive pure democracy
without any voting at all If an hereditary
despot or a priest of some particular shrine,
or, for the matter of that magistrate, chosen
by the color of his hair, always does what the
mass of the people desire you will have pure
democracy. Nor is this merely theoretic.
There in the world highly democratic in
sttutions that are not elective. The common
jury, for instance, is both in theory and prac-
tice a more democratic thing than the fran
chise and I have often thought that an excel
lent second chamber for England might be
constituted on the same principle by selecting
citizen by lot from every constituency.
Again, there are many primitive communities
wherein, for convenience, the actual decision
of outstanding matters may be left to some
chief or king, but where in practice such
chief or king must be much more careful than
your ordinary member OF Parliament or Con-
gress to consult the general will, for the SIM
pie reason that all his subjects are armed and
that otherwise he is exceedingly likely to be
killed.
Nevertheless it is unquestonably true that
in modern times the nations Of Western Eu-
rope have looked to voting and representa-
ton as the normal means Of achieving the end
OF democracy, and out Of the association Of
ideas so formed comes the theoretic case for
female suffrage. It is strong It is
this
Granting, as l grant, that the whole people
ought to govern the state. and granting also
the much more questionable and indeed in
creasingly dubious proposition that the best
means by which they can do so is by voting,
then it seems that all members of the COM
munity ought to have votes. But women are
certainly members of the community. There
fcie women ought to have votes. There is
