THE CURE OF DEMOCRACY
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919, By Frank Cranes

John Quiggan, whose address is 10 Jacob
ST., New York City, is one of several thou
sand people in the u. S. A. who have An
Idea. And his idea is one of those iIlumi-
mating flashes of common sense that now
and again blaze across the murky front of
the storm things.
In other words, he has, to use the royal
language Of Henry VIII, "the right sow
by the ear"
Here's the Idea: To get any workable
Democracy you should break the mass of
voters up into Groups of Ten. This he calls
Decentralization.
This suggests what is the matter with
Democracy, which we are convinced is a
good thing, but which has always dsap-
pointed us a bit in its practical working out
Democracy is right, because it aims that
the people shall get the kind of Government
they want.
But Democracy breaks down, because we
have always overlooked vital important
Psychological Fact and because Of over
looking this, the people have been cheated,
and have not got what they want
That Fact is: That when the number of
human beings in group exceeds 10 or a
dozen it becomes incapable of thought, it
loses its intelligence, it ceases to be ra-
tional, it becomes a mob
"One white man and one black man on a
desert island" says Quiggan, become fast
friends Five would fraternize Twenty
would separate. Fifty would fight"
This explains many things. The Political
Party, for one. The Party is the plague
that besets Democracy because it is i'm
possible for us to function as whole nation.
Hence we form Parties, which are blind

Music as Booze Substitute

The passing of liquor is going to prove immense
impetus to music in this counrynot only artistica but
commercially
And it includes all classes of music.
It will reflect itself in greater patronage of the
concert stage pupils for the music teacher in the
larger sale of musical instruments and employment
70 professional musicians at increased 1t has
done that in Seattle already.
It is not just for the that people will have
more money to spend for music and muscmang Devices
but is in the fact that those of who used to use
from the material of everyday fe going to use
music to degree for the purpose.
The substitute of music for drink will not be so COM
pce and sudden in its action we may not even be con-
Gous that adopting music partial substitute for
booze, but anyhow the effect will be more sprtuazng
md with less negative reaction.
One of the musical publications propheses that next
year viii find 25pece orchesras in many of the big hotels
where but eight to ten employed.
Many of the big cities have symphony orchestras
= their own that have not had them before.
The membership Of these organizations have been
recruited from the older orchestras of the East and these
m n turn combing the theatre orchestras Of the country
md teaching studios for competent players to fill their
chairs.
~ The manager of the Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
tn of the largest and best musical organizations in
he world, says that his band will make four
trips the Allegheny mountains into the West that
This is alike true with other Eastern orchestras and that
~ will make towns that have not heretofore been upon
their routes.
He further says all the younger professional orchestral
yers Of Europe who obtain passports and transpo
tion coming to America and that all of these
cDrtan of profitable employment.
further explanation OF why music Will be one OF the
dement's to replace booze is in the fact that there rest
1ocreation and relaxation in contrasts.
sE Music is emotional
We win seek music, the emotional contrast to the
1ntellectual, the material of our everyday lives.
Music is means by which forget the
trial for time at least but without intoxcaton, in
the case Of BOOZE

mobs, run by little group of ten or So
Always Government gets back to its small
group unit.
Also the Long Ballot. Professional poiti-
cal bosses hate the Short Ballot, because
when the ballot is long the voters are con-
fused and the boss can control them.
"The public does not have its will" under
the present system, asserts Quiggan. TT
simply assents to the will of party COM
mittee whose personnel is unknown, and for
man who is merely name. The average
citizen has no real choice. Mass elections
are simply method of keeping up an il
fusion. Political parties are necessary to
that method"
Thus we have light upon the grand
scheme by which Democracy has failed, in
sofar as it has failed.
The remedy, according to Quiggan, is
to divide the community into groups of
Ten.
The trouble with Autocracy (Monarchy,
Kaiserism, etc. is that it is not Represen-
tative.
The trouble with the Mob is that it is
not Intelligent. 1t is always led by the
nose by the shrewd boss
The judgment of Ten is Representative,
Responsible and Intelligent.
Mr.. Quiggan can count me among his
converts.
He talks sense.
1t was Partisanship that gave to Ger
many her initial success; the Democracies,
misled by Parties, were slow to defend
themselves. 1t is Partisanship now, in this
period of Reconstruction, that threatens
to rob us Of the fruits of victory. And
Partisanship is the child of the Mob.
