You have heard, you say, my dear. OF the Srich Americans,' and
% The United States is the rich mans country In a way, this
Is true. The American people are the richest people because they
have been industrious IN developing such vast tracts of the rich land.
And ali the while, you know, anybody who wishes could come here
and share IN the development and in the prosperity. The Immigrant
MAD a. much chance to grow rich as the native had. 1T all depended
only ON his industry and his intelligence. Education was open to
hmm; everything was open to him, if only he were willing. And great
hordes OF immigrants did come, and shared in the products of the rich
soil and became Americans.
You may have heard somewhere that the Americans grew rich
by other means than by their industry and the richness of the Ameri-
can SOIL and, OF course, it is true that here and there were men among
them who by cunning and corruption got more than their proper
share; but the common prosperity of the people is a fact of over

more in the socialism that tries to make poor people rich than in that
which tries to make the rich people poor.
Almost Inn s all the richer people in America have won their riches in
open and fair competition; they have won by industry or intelligence
or economy, or all three; and there are indeed very. very few poor
people who need to remain poor if they display normal energy and
are so universal that almost all of those who consider themselves poor
today can have more comforts in their lives and better education for
thelr minds than wer within the reach of those who we're considered

ATWOOD STATES

REPUBLIC LIFE
Moline Speaker With Patriotic Fer
VOr Delivers independence
Day Address.
Especial Moline service).

tCp0CIaA mO1116 OSTN1G0js
Scores of Moline residents hun
cry for patriotic words gathered
at Prospect park this afternoon to
hear the address of Harry Atwood,
Chicago attorney, who delivered a
characteristic Grafton on patriot
ism. telling the horrors of the war,
the political views and giving much
of his time to the topic of the
greatest republic-America. Mr..
Atwood, speaking from the park
pavilion, said;
1T is rather startling state
ment, but it is an indisputable fact
that during all the thousands of
years prior to the writing of our
constitution and the founding of
this republic, there was no govern
ment to which the historian could
point and truthfully say, There was
a system of mathematics that work
ed we'll During all those thou
sands of years the pendulum of
government was swinging back and
forth from one extreme to the 9TH
er just as it has in Russia and is
now doing in Germany, swinging
back and forth from the extreme OF
autocracy, which has always re-
suited in tyranny, to the extreme
of democracy, which has always re-
suited in chaos
United States a Republic.
"Since that word has been used
so frequently and so much during
the recent years, / want to pause
just long enough to say that it is
an imposition on the people Of this
country to refer to our government
as democracy. The men who
founded the government were more
fearful of democracy than they
were of autocracy, and said so Just
as clearly as 1 am talking now.
They made a very clear distinction
between a republic and a democra-
cy, and said that they han founded
republic; and in order that there
may be no misunderstanding l
want to read exactly what they
said. You will recall that after
the constitution was written, Ham
ilton, Jay and Madison were ap-
pointed to interpret the work, and
in the Federalist, Madison says:
What then, are the distinctive
characters of the republic formT
We're an answer to this to be
sought, not by recurring to prinei-
pies, but in the application OF the
term by political writer's to the
constitution of different states no
satisfactory one would ever be
found. Holland, in which no par
ticle of the supreme authority is
derived from the people, has passed
almost universally under the de-
nomination Of a republic. The same
title has been bestowed to Venice,
where absolute power over the
great body Of the people is exercis-
ed, in the most absolute manner,
by small body OF hereditary no.
bles. Poland, which is q mixture
of aristocracy and monarchy IN
their worst forms, has been digni-
fed with the same appellation. The
government OF England, which has
one republican branch only, encom-
bined with a hereditary aristocracy
and monarchy, has with equal i'm
prOpriety been placed on the list OF
republics. These examples which
are nearly as dissImiiar to each
other as to a genuine republic,
show The extreme inaccuracy with
which the term has been used in
political disquiBitions.
