How many proverbs there are in ex-

alone are attributed no fewer than l.
900 proverbs, and though 1t is noted
that Americans have few proverbs of

Democratic principle by Democrats
who are best informed in American

ciples OF American Democracy. II S
pertinent and necessary to explain
what Congress did yesterday. because
just before the Senate adjourned
Senator Brandegee OF Connecticut as
serted without qualification that the
Democratic party has changed its base
and repudiated its principles; that it
no longer represents them; that unLer
its present leadership it has been car
ried to the other extreme. and has be-
come a party extreme in its Federal
ism: extreme in its tendency to take
control Of the citizen and regulate him
coercively in his private habits; and
that in every way, except in
name, the party now differs
from the Democratic party whose ira
ditiOns go back to Jefferson. Sena-
tor Brandegee professed not to know
what the party might do under diff
ferent leadership, but he alleged that
Democrats abandoned principle, left
their landmarks, and had made the
test for everything, Stand by the

might have fastened to answer him.

a definition Of what ii means. Sen

to rely on Judge Brandeis in foreign
