Sayings of the Day

1t would be fatal mistake to allow
the antithesis between autocracy and
democracy to impress us to such a
degree as to make us needless of the
mighty struggle that will presently
take place within the bosom of de-
mocracy itself: l mean the struggle
between two opposing ideas as to
what democracy is, and how it should
be worked. The one idea, the new
and ominous conception arising in our
midst, is in brief, government with
the consent of the governed but with
out the participation of the governed.
Increased power is to be vested in
those who WELD authority, both in
the political chiefs and in the captains
of industry; they are to mature the
policies, to decide on the action to
be taken, and the people thereafter
merely to hold them to account for
the results achieved 1t is in the
name of efficiency that this new for
mula of democracy is advocated. AL
ready it is put in practice under the
pressure of military necessity in the
belligerent countries. But it was
proposed before the war, and it is de-
signed to mainain and fix it after the
war. Democrats, it is said, are inef-
ficient. slack, undisciplined. In pro-
portion as the size of democrats in
creases, as the prolific millions, the
hundreds of millions, enter into DEM
ocratic ranks, the multitude will be-
come more and more unwieldy, its
action more and more uncertain and
confused. In the interest of the
people themselves, therefore. ruler
ship must be exercised by the few,
albeit for the benefit of the many
But this is after all the old superman
theory revived. The rulers, the super
men, are indeed to be elected by the

GOOD POTATO STORAGE

CORVALLTES, Ore, Nov. 3.-Ideal
potato storage conditions are a well

kept about 40 degrees in the early
