Phases of Democracy
(Henry Fords International Weel

(Henry Ford's International Weekly.)
 The Canadian House of Commons voted amid shouting to request the King to refrain from the grant titles of knghthood nobility to Canadian citizens.
 At the same time, the wires occasionally inform us that the King of Great Britain and Ireland has been pleased to confer order of knighthood up this that American officer, and that the Amer ican Government has given its consent
 On side Parliament which ack nowledges George " as monarch insisting that all Canadian citizens be one level of citizenship Or the other hand see plain and bluff American ranked as Knight Commander of the Bath. a
 It is easy say, as have already said, thai this is sign that the British domintons are becom ing more and democratic and that America t becoming more aristocratic. It one of the cur ious opinions of the late Professor Munsterberg o Harvard that America showing monarchel ten dencies.
 But as a matter of fact there is only one dis cernible tendency in society anywhere, and that il the universal drive toward democracy. Sometme this comes with the rush of a mob in Petrograd sometimes it moves with the sweetness of wedding march as in the nuptias of Princess Patricia of Connaught and her commoner husband. Th Canadian Parliament shows it's democracy by wavinl been showing democracy by conferring titles on mel who distinguish themselves in manhood, if the. are the sworn servants of a Republic. The knight today citizen knights, the kings that will ho their thrones citizen kings The king who de lights to .honor men, the men who have accepte those honors and the men of the Ottawa house wh have asked that titles be added to the titles o manly recognition all moving in the same grea tidal wave of democracy

In spite of all Legislative and Grano Jury III III vesigations of charges of graft in connection with (,overnment by high officials of Juneau, most oi which charges, emenated from the political ampl. tons of Dan Sutherland, the only illegal grab oi public monies that has been uncovered was made by the holy Dan himself-if we except $3.S3 that sane timonious Dan contends the Governor wrongfully chapred sto the Territory And further, Dan Suth erlands grab of $21O60 not only illegal but it was for "traveng expenses incurred" on trii THAT WAS NEVER MADE Not only his claim illegal, but it had absolutely no, basis, morally oI otherwise, because it for something that never existed.
