SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

Just at this time the world
is -anxionsly inquiring the
ward meaning of President
Wilson's immortal phrase,
"safe for democracy"
Just what is "safe" and just
what is "democracy?"
In the first place, safety,
while it must contain the ele-
ment Of freedom, must not
grant license.
Safety means security = OF
the individual, the group, the
community, the state, the ma
ton, the world-security from,
the forceful encroachment of
others. 1t must carry with it
exemption from violence.
Likewise democracy means
freedom-of the individual,
the group, the community, the
the state the world-freedom
in the enjoyment of life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
But freedom, made absolute
would nullify safety and re-
suit in anarchy. Therefore free
dom must be bounded by equi-
ty.
The divine principle of right
DEGREES that none shall climb
to success on the downfall of
another. Your brothers. un-
merited loss must not be your
gain. And this must apply not
only to individuals, but to vol
untary groups, communities.
states, nations. 1t must be
worldwide.
Given a worldwide recogni-
ton of this principle, we lave
the very essence of democracy.
When all individuals and
groups shall recognize the
RIGHTS of other individuals
and groups, and concede them
then will the world be "safo
Tor democracy"
If any are inclined to para
phrase Plate and ask, "What
Is Right" we would answer.

the opportunities of earth and

ness to exercise those powers
for evil is as absolute and I'M
limited as his power for good.
Neither does the question of

Widely different from this
is the condition III tbs coun-

his power is stripped from

ANENT DICTATORS.

A perpetual source of won
der and establishment to the
people of the Old World, is the
immense power lodged in the
hands of the President of the
powers endeavor to use it as
an argument against the sim
cerity of our declarations as
to the objects of this country
IN the world struggle. They
point out that our President is
more of a dictator than any
Hohenzollern or Hapsburg.
Even our friends the British
seem unable to reconcile his
great powers with our proud
boast of personal liberty.
Viewed from an Old World
point Of view, we must confess
the problem is a knotty one.
From the viewpoint of demoe-
racy, however, the solution is
very simple. And the one great
outstanding principle tn a t
governs the situation is that
OF human volition.
Kingly powers are matters
of inheritance. Not of the mil
lions of the Kaiser's subjects
had the least choice in clothing
him with the power he Yields
over them. Those powers were
conferred first by might on his

HIGH PRICES AND COM
MUNITY COOPERATION

We are inclined to view the
present era of high prices as
conducting entirely to the bene-
fit of the farmer, and to regard
him as a very fortunate MIDI
vidual. True, he is more for
tunate than he has been III time
past, but while he has been re
iieved of some burdens he has
been saddled witl others. Not
all the high prices have bene-
fitted him.
We are too apt to view the
farmer as living entirely on
the farm and off its products.
In one sense this is true, but III
another sense not. While his
means come from the farm,
much of these means must be
exchanged for commodities
that do not come from the farm
the farmer must wear
clothes. These must come from
the manufacturers and the mer
chants. He must have farm
implements, and these he can
not make. He must have wa
CONS and buggies, and ii he is
to enjoy lie as his city brother
automobiles, and the prices OF
these articles are soaring in
company with the products OF
ms farm.
But what we startled out to
remark was that the farmers
can IN large measure meet and
overcome the effects of high
prices of farm implements
by a Wei planned system of
cooperation. And it looks now
rs tLvugI this plan will have
20 be adopted. The demand

implements is freely predicted.

would impress the fact that
wherever these can be owned
and operated comparatively, it
is not only economy to do so,
but it is also of real benefit to
the country in this crisis.
Every ounce of energy that can
be diverted from the manufac-
ture of farm supplies can be de
voted to the manufacture of
government supplies.
Every community in our
country should give this matter
serious consideration this fall,
while planning for that record
crop that will be needed next
year.
