DEMOCRACY NOT
A FORM OF RULE
"Issue Depends on Concept of Our
National Purpose Dr. Hugh
Black Tells Audience.

Democracy is not a form Of gov
eminent, as there can be an auto
cratic republic and democratic
monarchy" DIR. Hugh Black OF
New York said before a large audi
ence at Broadway Presbyterian
church last night in speaking on
the topic Democracy. Tonight's
lecture will close q series of talks
that he has been giving under the
auspices of the Rock Island and
Moline Presbyterian churches.
The ISSUE DR.. Black said. with
reference to democracy, even po-
iiticalIy goes deeper and depends
on our concept of national pur-
pose. If we think of a nation as
an organization for war we are
beaten before we begin Autoc-
racy gives power for discipline
and control. Democracy Will not
and cannot prepare for war, GER
tainly it does not
Democracy like Christianity is
a program as well as creed. ami
the creed exists for the program"
DR.. Black showed that if democ-
racy had anything for the world
today it must be able to use the
old watchwords. Liberty, Equality.
Fraternity" He then built up a
modern doctrine for each of these
on the foundation of the moral
worth OF man.
Apart from this men are OBJ
viously nor equal. but If we &C
knowledge moral worth from this
will spring the real rights of man.
he said. The rights OF justice,
which means the equality of all
civil rights. To get these and
maintain them there must be equal
ity of political rights and for the
future there must also be more
equality Of opportunity 1t comes
to this ultimately, that democracy
is impossible without religion.
Democracy cannot be magically
acquired Our American demOc-
racy is an ordered historical de-
velOpment from the great English
history of constitutional liberty.
In the main it has been orderly
evolved. 1t is part of our heritage
