Who Are THE People?

Shorn of the glittering nom
sense of the political stump
speech. this thing that we call
the people" is a monster horde
Of different individuals whose
thoughts are gathered from
everywhere and nowhere. and
who are this moment stampeded
by the roar Of loud-voiced
leaders and the next moment are
lured on by the subtle scent Of
understanding viands.
In this country the people like
to believe that they rule. and il
they do not rule it is their own
fault. They have the machinery
by which they can do almost any
thing that they want to do if
they just want to sufficiently to
take the necessary trouble.
Every administration that is
elected to power is elected by
the people theirs is the credit,
they are to blame.
But these same people. into
whose hands is given so much
power, these people who are the
autocrats that rule the destiny
Of a nation. are. at times. swayed
in their purposes and their ac-
tions by some very trivial things.
This thing we call "the people"
can be stampeded like a herd Of
cattle. When il can not be
driven and that is because
there is not driver with suffi-
cient force it can be coaxed.
baited. drawn and lead.
When the herd cannot he
driven, stampeded or. coaxed it
can always be split into groups,
contending factions and hostile
camps.
Surely the people are fear
fully and wonderfully made"
II there is a corrupt official he
has been elected by the people.
If there is an official who caters
to the interests" if there is one
without backbone. a jelly-fsh. he
too has come from out the hopper
of the public election mill.
The people cannot escape re-
sponsibility when it comes to
public officials they have all
been elected by the thing that
we call the people"
No one will deny that the re-
suits that we get from our cleo
tons are generally very much in
ferior to what they should be.
But what can you expect when
men and it soon will be women
also whose interests are linden
teal and whose only desire. Us
far as they have a desire in the
matter. is to see that good gov
eminent obtains, permit them
selves to be diverted from the
purpose that they have. or should
have, by the cry Of some poll
tical boss or party leader. whose
only reason for concerning him
self is that he may serve q
selfish end,
As long as the political intel,

make up the people" can be re-

getting" the voter-as the re-
suits of so many elections have so
often proved.
Most of the time the people
get it in the neck and that is
just where they are, most of the
time. entitled to get it.
The average citizen believes
almost every thing that he sees
in print.
The publicity men Of the poll
teal interests know this and
they act accordingly. News
stories are told in such a way
that that impression is left
which will best serve the cause
of the party or the clique inter
ested.
Deliberate lies are not infre-
quent and that worst of all lies
a half truth. is the best friend
that this class of publicity mong-
ers know.
Speaking generally, the peo-
pie" are bunch of dubs.
They allow themselves To he
led like sheep. herded like cattle,
driven like calves.
Here a boss and there a boss
cracks his whip and the herds
flock to their respective pens.
There used to be a difference
between people and cattle
cattle used to have horns.
Now all cattle are dehorned
and so there is no difference.
How is that we dare to say
anything like this about the
dear people?"
Well, we are not running for
office. that's one reason. An
other reason is that we don't
care rip whether or not few
mutton-heds take it into their
noodle to get sore over what we
have said here
When we see people Of average
parts. who should have at their
command a goodly amount Of
gray matter. fall for this and the
other propaganda of the political
servants Of the machine" it
makes us disguised.
The coming campaign is going
to be flag waving campaign.
Already one of the great par
ties is making a frantic effort to
stampede people to it's standard
by raising the loyalty cry.
To our mind the man who
makes capital out of his religion
or his loyalty to his country is
dealing in very highly watched
stock-the religion and the loyal
ty that are thus offered on the
altar of selfshness are apt to be
very thin"
In the name of all that is
great we ask: What credit is it
to man to be loyal to the best
country in the world? How can
an American be anything but
loyal?
Are we to take off our hats
and bow-to the dust before every
man who loves his mother?
Are we to do homage to a man
lust because he does not lick his
wife?
Is man entitled to a special
reward because he loves his
country?
Danish the thought!
AS every man should be pre-
sumed innocent until he is
proven guilty. SO every man
should be accepted as loyal until
he is proven otherwise.

HOME RULE BILL
FOR IRELAND TO
FAIL IN RESULTS
Peace Will Not Come With
New Measure Is Belief of
British Press.

LONDON. Nov. 12.-Many newspapers
united today in the opinion that the
Irish Home Rule BILL which was passed
by the House OF Commons last nieht.
Premier Lloyd George made an i'm
FASHIONED plea in the House just before
the final vote was taken on the home
rule bill
81 implore Ireland to remain within
the empire which she has helped to build
and adorn," said the Premier. The Pre-
mier outlined three "immovable condi-
lions" of the government:
!. That ireland should not become an
independent state.
2 That Ireland should not weaken the
strategy OF defense of the United King
dom by depriving the English govern
ment Of complete control of the Irish
harbors
3. That south and central ireland
should not coerce Ulster 1.-THE anti-home
rule DISTRICT.
CHIEF FEATURES
OF NEW MEASURE.
The chief features Of the new home
rule law, which supplants the home rule
bill passed at the outbreak OF the war,
follow:
Two Legislatures shall be established,
one for north Ireland and the other for
south Ireland; the people of the six
Ulster counties shall not be brought ad
ministratively under any outside Parlia-
ment in Ireland.
will not bring peace to Ireland.
Premier Lloyd George Ensembles his
love with such notorious persistency that
his professions Of good viii carry no
more weight than a Russian .ouble,
and now he offers a piece of legislation
(the home rule bill), which is impudent
IN its futility," said the Daily News.
a newspaper owned by Lord Northclifre.
The newspaper added Nobody believes
that the measure will work out and
nobody wants it."

"The bill Is not wanted in any
quarter" said the Morning Post. 1T
viii maintain no tenable position be-
tween union Of the empire and separa-
ton by ireland. 1t is an experiment"
Some OF the newspapers termed the
new home rule law an srmistice be-
tween England and Ireland. Only three
of the morning newspapers commented
upon the passage Of the bill.
The Times, in addition to It's comment
printed a statement by Cardinal Bourne

lie urged the Duke of Norfolk to SUP
port the widest self government for Ire
land, Wales and Scotland. He said he
was convinced that the majority Of the
people would accept government for
Ireland, Wales and Scotland If there
we're provisos for the maintenance of
the crown and safeguards for the essen
tlsl defenses ofo the empire. The Car
dinal furthermore expressed the belief
that most Englishmen view the mainte-
nance of vast numbers of troops in Ire
land as 4 shame and desire their with
drawal, but at the same time he pointed
out that evidently a secret oath bound
the society that was using assassina-
ton for its weapon"
81 am assured the Sim Fein disclnims
all connection with this society and that
Sim Feiners are unable to control the

Cardinal. "But at the present time the
Sim Feiners are unable to control the
murder band"
The Archbishop of Tuam was quoted
as saying that the black and tan police
had instituted a reign of frightfulness
In the region of Tuam, adding: If serv
ants OF the Crown were now to reciprO-
cate the peoples longing for peace it
would be possible TO esta blish peace at
once. But the first move must come
from the government"
The Times supported this contention.
The newspaper charged the government
with engaging in an effort TO scOurge
Ireland into obedience. The Archbishop
of Tuam is more likely to be better in
formed on Irish matters than any men,

Former Premier Asquith urged only
yesterday that a concerted effort be
made toward peace continued the
Times. I'VE hope that his earnest words
were not spoken in vain. The only other
alternative is for the government TO out
