of the class of people whom we call
the politicians" Let it be noted that
the word administration just used is
employed designedly: We are not and
never have been under the rule of the
politicians. They have never wanted
to rule. They do not lead. they fol-
low They do not speak, they listen.
They do not move, they are pushed.
What the politician wants is the emol-
ument and the dignity Of office and
the elusive appearance of power; a
certain number, too, are seeking the
opportunity of more sinister gains
But the real governing forces in North
America are such things as Big Bust
ness, the Manufacturers, the Labor
Unions, and, in various forms, Ma
tional Hysteria; mixed in with it all,
as the war has proved, is the golden
thread of individual patriotism and
love Of country, woven into the COM
pick meshes of national seltishness.
On the whole, the rule is not bad; It
is free at least from the arrogance CT
caste and the power of hereditary arts.
tocracy that disfigures still the gov
ernments of the older world.
But the least part Of it all, in the
sense of real influence and power, is
the politician. He moves about in
his frockcoat and his silk hat, a garb
which ne shares alone with the under
taker and the travelling conjurer, his
pocket full of presentation cigars, the
most meretricious and the most melan-
choly figure in the democracy of North
America. At times. indeed, ne bursts
through the shell that envelopes him
and insists on being leader in his
own right, ruler of men and not a
suppllant for votes: as witness Of
such stand the commanding figure of
a Roosevelt and the manly dignity of
a Borden. But these are the excep-
lions. The ordinary politician is
merely busy picking up his votes from
the mud of democracy, like the ramas-
seur of the Partisan streets picking up
cigar butts.
Thus in the matter OF real rule the
politician is nowhere. His only aim is
to give the public what the public
seems to ask for And the politician
has heard apparently only single

Kenyon-Anderson bill, in
tended to regulate the
meat industry, is charged by Sena-
tor Kenyon, of Iowa. He stood on
the floor of the Senate on July 81
end exhibited a thick bundle of tele-
grams to members of Congress, ex-
pressing disapproval of the bill,
which he said were inspired by the
packers. He said:
From every point the packers can
reach these messages are being poured
in upon Congress. They come from
bankers, merchants, farmers and every
one else the packers can influence.
The scope Of the propaganda shows
the tremendous power they exercise in
this country
II am not objecting at all, of course,
to information being sent to Represent
atives and Senators, but | do think
Senators ought to know the influences
that are at work stirring up these let
ters and kilograms.
~ will show to Senators that the tel
egrams and letters they are receiving
are in response to circulars and let
tiers sent out by the packers. Every
! influence they can reach in this coun-
try is being put to work to stimulate
this propaganda"
The packers admitted the truth of
Senator kenyon's charge. A state
ment sent out by the Institute of
American Meat Packers, comprising
about 200 firms, replied to him in
these words:
Senator Kenyon has charged in the
Senate of the United States that the
packers are sending out propaganda
| against this bill to place the packing
| industry under Federal license, as if
! there were something wrong in this.

The packers are not entirely
alone in the defence of their posi-
