ANENT plcTAToRS

A perpetual source of wonder and
establishment to the people of the
Old World, is the immense power
lodged in the hands of the Presl-
dent of the United States. The cen.
trail powers endeavor to use 1t as an
argument against our sincerity in
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 Hohen-
xoIIern 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
4 knotty one. From the viewpoint OF
democracy, however, the solution is
very simple. And the one great out
standing principle that governs the
situation is that of human volition.
Kingly powers are matters OF In
heritance Not one Of the millions OF
the kaiser's subjects had the least
voice in clothing him with the power
he yields over them. These powers
were conferred first by MIGHT on
HIS remote ancestors, and passed on
By MIGHT to their present possessor.
The question of fitness to exercise
these powers has never entered into
the situation. His power for evil is
n absolute and unlimited as his
power for good. Neither does the
auestion of ability count, as witness
the pitiful spectacle of imbecile rul-
ers who have in the past dominated
many of the old countries. AS a
matter of fact, mediocrity Of intellect
and a 4aucity of moral fibre has
characterized the majority of Euro
pean rulers as far back as history
records. True, among them a really
great character has developed occa-
eionally, which is the one fact that
has in any sense tended to mitigate
the evils of the system.
Widely different from this is the
condition of this country. Here the
principle of human violition and
Individual freedom of choice has full
and free expression. Every president
Of this country has been in the full.
est sense of the word the choice of
the people Primarily, he has not
one iota of power not enjoyed by the
humblest citizen of the republic. His
power is a delegated power, and that
only for a reason and an emergency.
At the end of that reason or en-
Urgency, his power is stripped from
him, and he resumes his place as
merely one of the millions.
In the matter of personal fitness.
too, the presidents of the United
States have in every instance meas
ured up to the highest standard.
Not one has ever proven recreant
to the high trust reposed in him.
All, without exception, have been
men of probity and high ideals. AS
. matter of fact. the manner of their
choosing guarantee this unless the
people themselves are decadent.
From all of which it can be seen
that European relationships are one
man relationships. while the Ameri-
can brandt it can be so called

"sAFE FOR DEMOCRACY"

Just at this time the world is
anxiously inquiring the inward mean
ing of President Wilson's immortal
phrase, safe for democracy"
Just what is SAFE and just what
n democracy"
In the first place, safety. while
1t must contain the element OF free
dom, must NOT grant license.
Safety means security-of the in
dividual, the group. the community,
the state, the nation, the world
security from the forceful encroach-
nent of others. 1t MUST carry with
1t the exemption from violence.
Likewise democracy means free
dom-of the individual, the group, the
community, the state, the nation, the
world-freedom in the enjoyment of
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
The courier-index., 1917-11-02

But freedom, made absolute, will
nullify safety and result in anarchy.
Therefore freedom must be bounded
by equity.
The divine principle of RIGHT de-
crees that none shall climb to success
in the downfall of another. Your
brothers unmerited loss must not be
your gain. And this must apply
not only to individuals, but to vol
untary groups, communities, states
and nations. 1t must be world wide
Given a world wide recognition OF
this principle, we have the very es
sence of democracy.
When all individuals and groups
shall recognize the RIGHTS of other
individuals and groups, then will the
world be safe for democracy"
If any are inclined to paraphrase
Plate and ask, What is Right?" we
would answer, an EQUITABLE allot
ment of the. opportunities of earth
and of life.
How those erstwhile spectators
must envy Mr.. Hoover. the ease with
which he has cornered wheat.

effect war training is today having
on our headstrOng boys who are now
in the army, and who at home lived
pretty much as they pleased.
According to the Journal a boy
from one of the training camps who
returned home for visit overheard
his father ask younger son to fix
the furnace. The lad objected and
the father promised him a quarter il
he would obey. Whereupon the en-
bryo soldier remarked: Father, the
discipline in this house is perfectly
rotten"
Here was a boy who possibly never
fully understood the value of disci-
pine demonstrating with his father
for not more vigorously exercising his
parental authority.
This boy, as youngster at home,
was, no doubt, as lax in his obedience
as his yuonger brother, and his father
ciplinarian.
But the boy had served in camp.
He had enjoyed the benefit Of mill
tray training. He had learned his
lesson well, as all boys will learn it,
when they enter camp. Discipline
comes first in the army. An order
is issued. 1t is the duty to obey
You have no time to ask why such
an order is issued or to enter a per-
sonal protest against it When the
order comes you must execute it
promptly, cheerfully and effectively
This is the first principle of military
rule II is the basis of army eff
cheney.
The boy who has had his own way
and has abused his privilege viii
find in camp just the discipline he
needs to bring out the best that Is IN
him.
Many parents will live to bless the
day that their unruly sons enlisted 10
the army of the United States. They
will come home with all the kinks
taken out of them. They will return
the finished product of American
manhood that nature in the beginning
intended they should be. This boy
was right. The discipline in ms
home was rotten when the father nao
to pay his young son a quarter 10
execute the simple order issued.
IL discipline counts for so much IN
the army it should count in our
American homes as well-Commer
cial Appeal.
