One of America S greatest scholars
and thinkers is urgently agitating
the substitution Of the word social
istic, for the word democracy. He
contends that it's meaning heretofore
has been subverted; that instead
of meaning; by the people we rule
it is made to mean. by a sectional
few. we are ruled. He says it has
no sympathetic reflection or feeling
for the oneblood family, but that
socialistic has. He is right and we
endorse the change.

It's peculiar state Of affair s
when foreign countries are OH the
verge of ecstasy over the possibility
of their tottering monarchies aud
empires, to be replaced by a repub-
liean form of government like ours,
while Our own is not only bordering
on their systems of government,
but the very things that have ruined
their countries, are being rigidly
enforced here. Let the true and
patriotic lovers of America keep in
mind that free speech and a free
press constitute the basic foundation
of our government, but both have
stiff bits in their mouths and curb
chains under their lower jaws. If
they are allowed to be choked and
stranxled into submission, to pot
goes the best organized govern

into play. Especially near the coast
a heavy baTrage was conducted all
