THE WORLD AND DEMOCRACY.

THE WORLD AND DEMOCRACY.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The world has been made safe for
democracy We have been assured of
this repeatedly since the armistice
was signed. in November last NOW
II there can he found some scheme
by which the Inhabitants Of this world
can be made SAFE against the kind OF
democracy that is being developed ali
over Europe, all may be well
1t has always been a fixed belief
with the people OF the United States
that all other countries should have
a form of government resembling our
Americans 10 assist in establishing
the same everywhere. They have
talked about this so much that they
have not the least doubt on the sub
with this belief by encouraging and
assisting the efforts made by the
people Of some countries to effect a
change in their government. a change
that was not always an improve
ment.
The question OF the fitness of peo-
pie in those other countries to estab-
lish and maintain a democratic form
OF government appears 10 be a con-
sideration Of secondary Importance.
II has never been quite clear why
Americans should become enthusiasts
tic in favor of revolutions that begin
by emptying the jails Of all the most
desperate criminals, recruiting these
as the nucleus for the army of pa
triots, and continue their patriotic
career as iberators by attacking de-
fenseless towns. looting the stores
and dwellings and subjecting the
people to every imaginable OUTRAGE.
History does not relate that the
American revolution began in tina I
manner. When the colonies declared
their Independence they were Inhab-
tied by self reliant and Intelligent
people not BY wild beasts ike large
proportion OF those who are clamor-
ing for liberty today
The experience gained within the
past eight or ten years should make
Americans more cautious Not all tbs
people who CRY aloud about being
oppressed are telling the truth Many
OF them have learned that II paws
well to pose as martyrs to the cause
Of liberty. It is not well to hail every
jail delivery as revolution in the
cause OF democracy.
The prisoners in the fails and peni-
tentiaries in the United States are not
Dolitical opinions: most OF them are
criminals. and the same state Of af-
fairs exists in all other countries thst
have been discovered 70 date. It looks
very much like the effort TO make the
world safe for democracy has placed
some Of the nations in the situation
OF a HFrankenstein.'' like him. they
have created a monster without a
soul. and thiS same monster may beat
them to death
Peace is a mirage that the nearer
YOU approach II the farther II re-

innocents who believe that they can
