NOW FOR DEMOCRACY.

HE GREAIER WHEELING CHARTER is a VIC
tory for Labor. And because victory for Labor
it is victory for democracy For Labor the only real
democracy earth
The workers cannot gain for themselves single thing
that does not bring equal good to ALL In every other
graduating walk of life the benefits secured through gov
eminent are for their favored selves alone.
We have gained the right to vote directly on measures
affecting ALL And will have the right to VOTE That
is in itself enough to justify charter.
It gives some measure Of home rule. A municipality
is simply group of people living in closer communion
than others. municipal charter is simply the mita
group he state) to live their lives. The new charter
gives greater freedom competer control over the at
fairs which much and the larger group
but little if at ALL It is not all that of desred it
is all that all the people wanted 1t is enough to give
every voter in the city the right participate directly in
the affairs of his city, to have voice and vote in every
thing that may him and his family to take from
office any department head who fails at any time to
satisfy him.
The Majority is sure that the objections offered
against the new charter will be found by time to be but
false alarms The prohibition of corporationists from
public service will not be calamity for public loyalty
cannot thrive in the same bosom with private loyalty to
private business that lives upon the public needs.
The City Manager is not likely to assert an authority
that will inevitably end in all Of being taken from him
Council is not likely to pass UNI just ordinances which
the people revoke.
Neither will the referendum be constantly appealed
to by those who will be as constantly defeated
The possibility Of machine to perpetuate the posi-
lions of those in power is surely less likely with the civil
service than with political appointment where ward heel
ing is the only qualification
Watch the fulfllment Of this prediction: Paved

We must see this before we are in a
fair way to discern the trail that leads
from a governmental and industrial
autocracy to a free democracy. This
is a fight that is vital to- labor. We
cannot sit to one side and watch the
army of fighters but must take our
place in the ranks of the real demo
Gratis. If we line up with the forces
of privilege, either by our carelessness
or by our active aid, we are traitors
to our fellows and those millions who
come after US.
We find real democrats aligned with
all political parties striving for good
government AS time goes on and the
futility of their efforts strikes them
we will seel all those who are really
sincere in the fight; who have cast
aside all the chains that bind their in
terest to those of their natural enc
mics; who are really determined that
justice shall prevail, lined up, side by
side, in one movement to overthrow
the control of Gold.
In that day there will disappear the
rule by court injunction; by thug and
militia in the. hands of oppressive en-
ployers. The fight is one that is dis
tinctively up to the people. There will
be no appropriation from a money en-
