In reply his young wife maintained the
silence of discretion. She had met that
mother only a short time before her
death. but of her hands young wife had
a distinct recollection.
She knew they were gnarled at the
joints, puffy and discolored with swollen
veins showing thru the wrinkly skin.

young wife wondered TO herself how any
one could fancy those hands beautiful.
Yet Mr.. Lately Married was right. His
mothers hands were indeed beautiful, so
beautiful that. to those who understood,
their ugliness went unseen.
Days by the thousands those same
worn hands had been soft enough to
smooth table cloths or pillow cases or hot
cheeks. They knew how thru dexter
ity to remedy what awkwardness had
bungled. To million wants they had
and to two million whims, do
ing the apparent task always, forever
finding work where none was commanded.
They had fashioned material things into

Once a week, few traders in butter

An Issue Between
AutOcracy and Democracy
Is a Spiritual Combat

Autocracy demands the sacrifice of
everything to material necessity.
The end sought, noble or base, becomes
Cod and it becomes legitimate to de-
stroy hospital ship, a passenger ship,
or women and children, or anything else
precious or sacred.
Such things become legitimate because
autocracy is law unto itself.
Autocracy must be merciless and
shameless, else it undermines itself.
1t must rely upon material things, be-
cause it asks of its tools sacrifice of all
spiritual sentiment. German autocracy
could cheerfully and consistently dec
crate the commander who murdered the
women and children of the Lusitania,
for the reason that he executed the law
of necessity, and necessity knows no law
save that of autocracy.
The end justifies the means.
Might is right.
This is materialism, without equivoca-
ton and stripped of all degrees of am
biguity.
Democracy is an appeal to the spirit
ual.
1t requires loyalty to ideals that pro-
mote high aspirations.
1t requires suppression of selfshness
and the jealousies of private interests.
The individual is not debased, but it
is required of him that he be better and
stronger than ever before, for the good
of all. The purposes of democracy are
peace, progress, equality, justice, frater-
nifty and the greatest possible opportu-
nifty for happiness.
Appealing to such ideals of men, de-
mocracy has its laws that are not abro-
gated by immediate necessity.
1t knows mercy.
II kills to save.
It recognizes that, after all, in spite of
variety of color and race, all men are
