''Folk Defines Democracy"

Today, all over the world, men are dying for their ideals, Prus-
sianism and Democracy. Prussianisn recognizes no law but natural
law; it believes might makes right; it worshps at the altar of force;
it breaches the gospel of hate.
Democracy recognizes natural law, and builds on it intell-
gently; it makes for true liberty by teaching that no man has any
rights who does not first recognize the rights of others; it makes
for fraternity by preaching. love, instead of hate; it governs by
human law, but IS governed by moral law. Democracy is a religion,
a religion of brotherhood among men, a religion that says Thou
shalt not lie; Thou shalt not steal" a religion that demands more of
the Golden Rule and less of the rule of gold in government and in
our daily lives; that does not array class against class, but preserves
the rights of all by causing each to respect the rights of the other;
that equahzes conditions not by dragging down those who are up
but by lifting up those who are down; that does not attack wealth
honestly acquired, but wages unending war against the privileges
that produce unearned wealth on one hand and undeserved poverty
on the other; that protects property rights but recognizes the fact
that property rights should never be inconsistent with human rights;
that accords to each individual the right to worship God according
to the dictates of his own conscience, whether he be Jew of Gen
tile, Catholic or Protestant; that gives to each man an equal oppor-
tunty to participate in Government and to live and labor upon the
earth that God has given to all and to enjoy untrammeled and UNI
restricted the gains of honest toll; that seeks as a remedy for
existing wrongs not less government by the people, but more
government by the people; that holds laws re made to be enforced,
not to be ignored; that seeks more of service and less of selhshness.
The capacity of a people for selfgovernment is to be determined
not by the extent CT a nations dominion, but by the happiness and
welfare of the average man. 1t is the average man for whom DEM
ocracy stands, and it is for him this Republic has become the torch
bearer of liberty for all mankind.
This is the democracy for which we are fighting; this is the
democracy for which Woodrow Wilson stands; and this is the
democracy I shall continue to advocate as the representative of the
people of Missouri in the Senate of the United States.
