THE DANCER OF GLASS GOVERNMENT.

The menace to democracy in Europe this time is still class government The miaristic and capi- taistic class has been overthrown in Germany and Austria. The threatening danger is that the oppressed working class Will force itself into the saddle with all its class consciousness and class dis tinctions. That would be almost far from de- nocracy the conditions which America and her Allies have overhrown It is not strange that this of thing should exist in Europe, where the whole fabric of society has been erected with class dstinc lions and basis. For centuries most of con tnenta Europe has been ruled by casses-either one class another often sub-cass has been in power Under such conditions people inherit disposition to think and in classes, and that is not demo- cratic It took nearly century after the Fall of the Bastie, several revolutions armed and otherwise, republics for France qualify herself for democratic government. The transition from mon archy to the anarchy or Boshevkisn is short and easy. It requires only change O. the governing class The application of democracy requires great wisdom, and usually is slow growth.

They have argued that their class should take con trol of the government This brand socialists gen rather than American democracy. It easy for it to form alliance with the Kaiserists in America because neither Bolshevkism Kaisersm could ex- ist in a country where democracy is dominant.
 The flame of democracy, quickened by the great war crisis that shot upward the leadership of Pres ident Wilson, caused the European made advocates of

 However, the seeds for class contention are in the air We have class advocates of high and low degree We have those who would have the monied class in control of the government and those who would have the poor class in control. And herein turks American danger It would be easy to develop class consciousness if should permit the affairs o the Nation become football in play between these classes. If people do not recognize that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and hold the banner of democracy high could very speedily reach point where men would join the other of these classes.
