NOW that the skies have been
4 sailed, and the seas have been
hoped, and the great war has been
fought and won, apparently the only
adventure worth making in the world
to-day is that of saving democracy.
And since without adventure the hu-
man spirit would be a poor thing, it
is gratifying in a novel called Dem0c-
racy, written by an Irishman, Shaw
Desmond, TO learn that this exciting
business of saving democracy we shall
always have with us. In Jerusalem
the golden there will be revolution in
the streets. Democracy will no sooner
be saved than it will need to be saved
again-and again. For if democracy
can never be fully achieved, neither
can it ever be successfully stifed. In
a final chapter called The Blinded
Giant, Mr.. Desmond says:
Democracy itself is deathless. Once
more-a hundred times more-it will
lift itself from its belly and raise its
blinded eyes toward the light. De-
mocracy is bigger than Syndicalism--
it is bigger even than Socialism-it is
the biggest, the most certain thing in
the world-it is Evolution itself with
the Will behind"
In other words, the political strug-
gle is eternal. And the merriest fight
of all will always be within the ranks
of labor itself. So long as two Social
lists remain in the world they will split
into right and left; and if one of the
two Socialists happens to get hold of
the two shirts, Mr.. Desmond seems to
recognize the danger that he may sud-
denly lose all interest in the division
of haberdashery. As naturally as a
duck takes to water he may slide off
and up into the two-shirts class. As
Wells said long ago in his effort to
explain the failure of the Fabian
bureaucratic schemes in England,
sooner or later, if the lion did not lie
down with the lamb, at any rate the
man with the gun and the alleged So
cial mad dog returned peaceably to-
gether, and the Fabian hunt was up.
In a similar way, Mr.. Desmond in de-
scribing compromise finally reached
by labor and capital in Parliament
says: 1.-THE place had become vast
pigeon-loft, in which only the billing
and cooling of politics could be
heard"
Although tremendously interested
in democracy itself, Mr.. Desmond is
not much interested in political
schools and definitions. Schools may
come and go, and definitions may
change, but democracy remains. We
do not recall single direct reference
to Marx in the book, or to Bakunin or
Sorel, or Lenine or Haywood, Boil
ahevism or the |. w. W. Mr. Desmond
does not go into definitions, except as
they naturally occur in his story. He
endeavors to show democracy in the
making, chaotic and noisy at meetings
in halls and Socialist parlors and
Trafalgar Square, where Nelson has
zen strange sights and heard stranger

FOOL QUESTIONS
 ANSWERED WITH
 THE REAL DOPE

WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET, San Francisco,-P)-"Passing out the
 Dope" is the title of an editorial in last edition of the "Gunnery Bulletin,
 issued aboard the New Mexico. flag ship of the Pacific fleet It gives sug gestions for the treatment of civilian visitors aboard ship.
 It follows in part:
 Ever since we have been on the west coast we have been thronged al most daily with visitors curious to get a glimpse of life in the navy. Most of them have never been on board a ] man-Of-war as big and modern as the New Mexico, and, of course. they are going to ask questions to which, to us
 the answers seem apparent. Think a minute. tho: There has been a day when to all of us ship was just as
 strange and just as new and we asked
 exactly similar questions.
 "Of course, the temptation to give a fooly reply is strong. but, fortunate ly, few of us have succumbed to that
 temptation. However, such statements
 have been heard as the following Now these shells, (referring to the
 anti-submarine shells in the five-inch
 gun casements) are for target prac
 tice, because the blunt nose makes a
 bigger hole in the target and it is easier to count the score and others
 just as asinine.
 "That may be funny, but it is not
 true As we said, incidents like that are rare, but they should not occure at all.
 "The sole reason this navy of ours
 has for It's existence is to protect
 the United States and it's people, and
 as the expense of our existence falls
 on the people they have a right to
 know the truth about us. We are a
 form of national insurance and the
 nation should know as much about us as it does of it's fire or life insurance So take little care in answering our visitors questions and send them away satisfied that they are efficiently insured"

 IS TERM GIVEN
 BY ENCLISHMEN

LONDON.-(Associated Press Cor respondence)-"PussyfOoting'' is the term the newspapers and British liquor interests have given the cam paign to make England dry. and "pussyfeet'' is the title they have given those members of parliament and American Anti-Saloon league workers who are pressing the move ment.
 It has been announced that there is abundant money behind the move ment, and the nucleus of parlia mes tary prohibition party has been formed by nine members of the house of commons to first fight fol the retention of war time liquor regulations while forming their lines for more drastic action.
 Harrogate, a health resort with some 80 mineral springs, was select ed as the first object of attack, and a number of speakers were sent there to spread the dry" doctrine. It was decided to pay particular attention tC Scotland where, under new regula tions, local option is possible. Other plans, it was announced, are in the making, and within year the cam paign will be in full swing.
 Most of the newspapers have done nothing but ridicule the movement and urge that owing to the climate British men and women needed stimulants and would never volun tarily relinquish their alcohol.
 Lady Henry Somerset, late presi dent of the British WOmen's Fem perance association, is quoted as expressing the opinion that the pro hibition campaign will do positive mischief by making prohibition ap pear to be the sole alternative to a return to the prewar position.
 The liquor interests say they have not given the question much atten- tion, preferring to believe that the prohibition experiment in the United States will fail and therefore there will be no need for action in Eng land.

 " We must investigate our own part in this world brutaliZing process quite as much as we would our opponents abroad. Not until then are we able to understand the Paris decision as the tragic result of our own national guilt.

 "Who ever has the slightest con ceptiOn of the rigorous measures we adopted in the treatment of prisoners and the systematic destruction of in dustrial plants and the deportation of thousands of young girls will readily understand the resentment of the French people.
 We must be perfectly clear in our own minds in respect of our own guilt if we are to be born again ma tionally. We must always remember that, while the whole world is prac- ticing the politics of might, we on the other hand have systematized the pol tiles of might and elevated it to a new political philosophy"
