masses OF the people by throwing on them the
responsibility for their welfare. 1t became IN
stantly incumbent on society to educate It's
masses in whom political power was lodged;
F! and a democratic form of government there
fore secured the greatest good of the greatest
number and the most rapid and even uphft OF
all the social strata of the land.
Our form of government has come to stay
and the general expectation is that democracy
viii be vastly extended as result OF the world
war New republics and declarations OF local
self governing states probably will be erected
in the early future; and these are likely to be
modelled to some extent upon our own. 1t VIII
he step in advance for every nation which
follows our examples nevertheless, it is unde-
lliable that our system has certain weaknesses
that powerful centralized governments do not
possess.
Perhaps the most manifest of these draw
backs is that mediocrity tends ever to elect
mediocrity to office as more nearly representa-
tive Of it, and that demagogues and self-seek-
ers mislead or cater to the ignorant elements IN
their constituencies. We have senators
Stone, La Toilette, Gronna and others-whose
course in the last few months has convinced
the country that they would sacrifice It's vital
interests in order to placate anti-Amerlcan con-
sttuencies and thus retain their seats. we
have representatives who seem as wanting IN
patriotism at this crisis as were the tories OF
the revolution or the copperheads' of the
civil war. And we have unique, unclassified
political nuisances like Senator Works, OF
California, whose term happily expired some
months ago. Such men bring democracies into
peril and contempt, particularly in the senate
where they can for long time defy the popu-
lar will. But every earthly institution has its
limitations, because a perfect system is not
workable in the hands of imperfect men; and,
after all, the evils and inconvenience we suf-
fer are light compared with the dynastic incu-
bus which is riding the great Tentonic people
tc their death.

This delay of ten days more than
the first tentative date set for mobili-

reported that recommendation has
gone to the provost marshal general
from General Plummer that the third
contingent be instructed to delay
starting for the camp until that date.
This change in plan practically
assures that the third and fourth con-
tinsents will be consolidated and
that every man not already here, who
is drafted in the first army will arrive
in the course of the last five DAYS of
this month.

POPE SEEKING

Having Failed to Impress Rulers, is
Now Thought TO be Appeal
ing Direct to the
Citizens

Staff CORRESPONDENT

by John II. Hearley, United Press
Staff Corresondent.l
ROME, Oct. Pope Benedict is
apparently seeking support of his
peace plans from the people of bel
ligerent nations, since his appeal to
the rulers has so far been ineffec-
tive. Direct approval by the holy
father of certain socialistic aims, was
attributed to him in two separate
statements today.
The greatest significance was at
tached to an editorial in the Obser-
yatore Romano, newspaper fire.
quently regarded as the vaticans OFF,
cial organ and which it was believed
was approved by the pope.
The editorial declared the holy see
was in agreem ent with the social
lists of Italy and elsewhere in so far
as they were seeking TO safeguard
democratic liberty and protect con-
stitutional rights by legal means"
Those who professed to see the
pope taking the radical step of SYM
pathtzing with soCialistic ideals, read
the Observatory Romano's comment
in connection with bitter editorial
attack in the newspaper Corriere
d'Italia on German Foreign Secretary
kuehlemann. Through these two edi-
torials, he held, the vatican had con-
triyed diplomatic hint to Germany
as well as a bit of counsel to the
German people and especially the
German Catholics.
Another direct intimation of the
vatican's position ON development of
the peoples rule, was in the popes
words of greeting to new Russian
diplomat accredited to the holy see
interviewed by the United Press
today, this Russian fatty denied that
the pope favored reactionary Rus
STA. He said his holiness expressed
personal sympathy with Russia's de-
mocracy, regarding the revolutionary
movement as political and social evo-
luton.
