MAJORITY RIFLE

1t is a common fallacy, observes
James F. Morton, jr., in November
Case and Comment, to look on major
ity rule as an end in itself, instead of
the means to an end, a mere expedi-
ent to approximate popular control of
popular concerns as fully as possible.
Democracy itself, however, is some
thing much broader, and rests
full grasp of the right of human be-
ings to rule themselves-the Individual
to rule his private concerns, and the
group, family, ward, school district,
city, county, state or nation to man
age its own collective affairs. Public
control of private rights is as undemo-
cratic and vicious as private control of
public rights. a majority trampling
on the conscience of the individual is
no less guilty of crime against JUS
tice than a king or emperor who op-
presses the people as whole. Mob
spirit wrought into the form of law
has no more excuse for existence than
if expressed in opposition to law. If
public sentiment could warrant the
suppression of the circulation of I'M
popular or even. abhorred opinions,
there could be no cha-ce for progress,
nor would the liberty of any individual
be safe. He who stood with the ma
jority on one issue, and rejoiced in

A NEEDED SCHOOL.

Columbia university, we see. by the
paper, is to have a school of diplo-
macy, and it should have a large at
tendance. There has been complaint
from time to time that American dip
lomats are a political product, and
don't amount to much. Many of them
are so boldly democratic they won't
wear court dress while hobnobbing
near the seats of the mighty in
Europe'S capitals, and others don't
wear it as they should, and other bad
breaks are reported from time to time
among those who would have our dip
lomats ape the aristocracy of the old
world as much as possible. Still,
While American ENJOYS may need GER
tain rudimentary training in the pro-
fession, it looks from this distance that
the ambassadors of Europe are the
cEes who really need special coaching.
There are reasons to believe that dip
lomatic breaks of one kind and an
other brought on the great war, and
nothing is SO certain as that diplomacy
failed to avert it, and that diplomacy
won't end it seems reasonably sure.
Besides, both sides have shown a dip
lomatic weakness in lining up the later
entrants into the hostilities. Germany
sent her star performer to Italy, in
an effort to keep that country in line
with the Triple Alliance, or at least
to maintain neutrality, but Italy went
ahead and joined the entente powers,
in spite of that. Then it was the
allies turn to fail, as they did miser-
ably in the case of the Balkan coun-
tries. Bulgaria, of course, was always
a doubtful proposition, and inclined
to the central empires, but the failure
to offset Bulgaria's entrance by bring
ing in Greece or Rumania, or both,
must be charged to the entente diplo-
mats, until a better excuse is offered.
Taken it by and large, nothing has
been botched extensively in resent
months as European diplomacy and
young Europeans leaning toward such
a career should not afford to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered by
Columbia university and it's brand new
school of dip1omacy.-Atchi Globe.

Epening Chat
A Foolish Expectation.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


The little VIC man in front of me on
the car almost wept for self pity as she
told her woes to the older woman.
'I haven't been feeling at all well
for the last week." she said. ct didn't
: tell Tom because hate to seem to be
always a crying baby. But when he
came home and spoke about going
away for a weeks hunting I couldn't
help crying. Then he got mad and
said I never wanted him to have a
good time
She paused to swallow a little sob.
Then she added, almost vindictively,
ST bet he'd be sorry if he knew how
sick I've felt
You didn't tell him?' asked the
mo. I wouldn't tell him for any
thing now
Of course she will, sooner or later.
And in the meantime poor, bewildered
Tom will drag himself home evenings
to house over which the shadow of
misunderstanding hangs heavy,
wondering just what has hit him.
The craving for sympathy is uni
versal. The baby cries for it, the child
demands it, we grown-ups hope for it
and feel hurt when we don't get it.
1t is an easily understood. though
rather foolish trait, this forcing our
griefs and injuries upon the attention
of others polite enough to feign an
interested sympathy they do not feel.
For mo man limps because another
is hurt.
But even more foolish than this de-
mand of ours that others sympathize
with our sorrows and ills when we
tell of them, is the hope of receiving
sympathy when the cause for such is
withheld.
Tom simply didn't know that his
wife hadn't oeen feeling well. His
side is just as understandable as hers,
and if either of them deserves sympa-
thy, I rather think it is he.
Now and then we make a praise
worthy effort to martyrize ourselves
by refusing to demand the sympathy
we crave. Our purpose is a worthy
one, but to be really worthy of praise
it must be adhered to to the bitter end.
If Smith, suffering from indiges-
ton, withholds that fact from Mrs.
Smith, in order that she may not
worry. he is doing a Spartan and COM
mendable thing. But if Mrs Smith,
in her ignorance, sets a boiled dinner
garnished with mince pie before him,
who can blame her for lack of SYM
pathy?
For Smith to eat the dinner, think
ing with bitterness how sorry Mrs.
Smith would be II she knew how much
he suffered and was about to suffer,
availeth no one anything. If he
chooses he can eat and be miserable.
but to be true to the course he has
mapped out for himself he must do so
without bitterness or self pity

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

The aim of human life. no doubt, is
happiness, writes John Galsworthy, In
the November Atlantic. But after all,
what is happiness? Efficiency, wealth,
material comfort? Many by their
lives do so affirm; few are cynical
enough to say so; and on their death
beds none will feel so. Not even free
dom in itself brings happiness. Hap
piness lies in breadth of heart. And
breadth of heart is that inward free
dom which has the power to under
stand, feel with, and, if need be, help
others. In breadth of heart are found
ed Justice, love, sacrifice; without it
there would be no special meaning to
any of our efforts. and the tale of all
human life would be still no more than
that Of supremely gifted animals,

Presumably it will be all right with
the incumbent district judges in Kan
sas if the last legislature so bungled
in its lawmaking as to give them what
amounts to life tenure of office. In
repeating the non-partisan judiciary
act, the lawmakers neglected to make
any provision for the election of dis
trict judges. OF course, this will be
corrected by the next legislature, and
a loophole may be found by which
the district judges can be elected as
usual ad interim But as far as the
Iitigants and lawyers of the Shawnee
county district are concerned. they
would probably be just as we'll pleased
in letting the law stand as the care
lessness of the legislature left it.
Shawnee county is fortunate in being
possessed of two district judges who
give eminent satisfaction.

NEW YORK's LOST CHANCE.

A year or so ago, the voters of New
York decided to have their states
constitution revised. The constitu-
tionaI convention labored loud and
long for many months, at q cost of
about $1,OOO,OOO, and the result was
the draft of a proposed constitution
that spelled political progress in cap
ital letters. It's essential feature was
the reduction of the number of elect
i've officers. and combining of COM
missions-in other words, a plan of
administration that would centralize-
authority and make the government
more efficient. But the proposed con-
stitution was voted down at last Tues
days election by an overwhelming
majority. Had it been adopted, the
machine rule that New York has suf-
fered under for so many years would
have received a death blow. And it's
defeat is evidence that the political
machines OF New York, which natur-
ally campaigned against it, are health
lily alive and will col tinue to do bust
ness at the old stand for some time
to come

THE NEW QUARTERS.

'TWhy do we have to go home ?'
asked Tommy, as he and his little
mate ran across the garden toward
their home in the old log. IF we are
to live in the barn for the winter,
why don't we stay there right now :?
That grain Mrs. Hen spoke of had a
very good sound to me-Tm hungry"
you must learn to be more patient,
Tommy said Mrs. Tommy reproving-
". Its all very well to live in the
barn; 1 think Mrs. Hens suggestion
was the best we have heard, but we
must leave our old home in good or
der We would not like to come back
in the spring and find it all dirt"
Tommy had to admit that she was
right, but he couldn't help a longing
thought for the fine fresh grain-eat-
ing had been scant these last few
days.
Quick as they reached the log home,
Mrs. Tommy began her preparations
for winter. She brushed out the
smooth floor of the house, gave a care
full. cousinly look at Dingey Bat, who
was hanging on the wall sound
asleep, and then ran out for some
leaves.
IF you will help me, Tommy" she
said coaxingly, 1--WE can be through
and back in the barn in no timer
And of course Tommy, like the helpful
little fellow he really was, went right
to work and did his share.
How they did work. They gathered
fresh, crisp leaves and poked and
showed them in front of the doorway
till one passing would never have
guessed there had been a hole in the
log. That" said Mrs. Tommy as they
worked, will surely keep our home
for us. Never was there as good a
home for mice as this old log has been.

And Tommy assured her that was
exactly what he wanted to do.
