But democracy is more than a SOC

a social order. 1t is for attaining as
well as for proclaiming. We cherish
it as a mode of social life, ard it is
the practical realization of the ideal
that the word desires. Our task, then,
as democrats, is to achieve in con-

prey to this invincible democratic
spirit that fills our age, that is our
age, in fact! And out of the dust of
these shattered despotisms have risal
the new democratic states of the new
Europe, and new hope stirs IN the
hearts of the world. 1t presages the
day God speed its coming) when
wars shall be no more, and when the
free nations of the world shall unite
as one common family to work out
their common well-being and their
common life.
A world democracy is upon us. The
whole earth has been drawn into a
common neighborhood by the bonds
of transportation and commerce. No
nation can longer carve out its career
alone. No nation can longer isolate
itself behind geographical barriers
and hope to survive. The welfare of
the smallest cannot be a matter of in

individuals, so with nations,--the
greatest aristocrat must be the great
est servant. God save America-our

The word democracy is Of Gree
ian origin, from dymos, the people or
the commons, and kratos, rulc--mean-
ing, therefore the rule of the people,
or the rule Of the commons. De-
fined in trems Of political science,
democracy is that form Of government
in which people rule themselves,
either directly or through represen-
tatives. No finer definition Of politi-
cal democracy has ever been given
than that given by President Lin
coin in his famous Gettysburg speech
as government Of the people, by the
people, and for the people"
But, in larger sense, democracy
is more than form of government.

impelling spirit. We meet with it in
the home, the school, the church, the
shop, the street. 1t has filtered into
every department of our national
life, and clamors alike for recognition
IN the mansions of the rich and in
the novels Of the poor. 1t has fastcn-
ed the world in its grip, and is eff
fecting a mighty revolution.
Let me illustrate. A few months
ago had the pleasure of talking to
very brilliant young Chinaman, a
student who is N this country getting

was interested to get his opinion of
certain things new transporting in
China, and of the Chinese reaction to
certain provisions of the Peace Treaty
He told me his opinion very frankly.
Then | asked about DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
that brilliant statesman who spent so
many years in our country studying
our form of government, and who
more than any other man was respoa-
sible for the overthrow of the Man
chus and the establishment Of the re-
public. | asked if DR.. Sen had any off
cial connection with the new govern
ment of China. He said "No, he has
no official connection with the gov
ernment, but he is the greatest in
,fluence in the life Of the Republic, and
stands as a mighty bulwark against
all the forces of reaction" Then,
replied, using an American express
tsion, "he is really the power behind
the throne'," to which this young
Chnaman, as quick as flash, re-
piled, mo, he is the power behind the
Republic!"
Think of tia citizen of China not
permitting the use of any term of
monarchy, even IN an American COLO
ouialism! The fact is more signifi-
cant when we remember that Old
China has LAIN like sleeping giant
throughout the centuries, stepped in
the doctrines and traditions Of the
past, and drugged into inaction by the
wilful Vaccinations of her masters.
She has had baptism Of the new
democratic spirit, and the process of
her rejuvnation has begun.

The incarnation of the ideal is never
complete. The ideal itself recedes as
we approach it, and enlarges as it's
Ifragmentary attainment enlarges the
capacity Of men. 1t cannot be said
that we have fully achieved democ-
racy, even in America; we have not
achieved that condition Of life in
which every many has chance and
knows that he has it--and that is the
primary concern of democracy. We
have certain elements of democracy,
to be sure, principally in our political
life, but we have not yet achieved a
democratic order of society. We can
not have such an organization of Soc
iety, wherein the principle Of equal
ity Of opportunity has free play, SO
long as we permit avoidable injustices
so long as the two great classes in
productive enterprise are arrayed
against each other, so long as COM
petition chokes out cooperation, Sc
long as the strong are allowed to ex-
plot the weak, and so long as the
child is regarded as a negligible Soc
ial factor and his education restrict

But while it cannot be said that We
have achieved democracy, it is UNI
mistakably true that we are moving
in this direction. The persistence anc

STAY ON THE JOB

In every community there are doz-
ems of farmers who are either getting
ready to quit farming entirely or are
wishing they could. The reason is
the extremely low price Of farm pro-
ducts and the high cost Of implements
as well as clothing, etc. In every per-
iod of distress there are always a lot
of Summer soldiers" who give up at
the first frost. And it is they who
help to improve conditions for the
man who sticks to the job. There are
sure to be hard times in any business
and agriculture is no exception. But
the real business man, the real farm
er is the one who both looks ahead and
prepares ahead. He is the one we
depend upon to prevent a calamity
and there are still many of his kind
left. So we may safely predict that
present conditions will not last long
Brighter days are just ahead. The
man who sticks to the job now is the
man who will cash in when the i'm
provement comes.

BRING HIM BACK

For the love of all that's sensible,
let's have Grover Bergdoll, rich draft
dodger, back from Germany. Not
that we want him as a citizen Of Tai
lulah-not in a thousand years. For
if Grover ever happened to settle him
self in this community we wouldn't
give fifteen cents for his hide and
tallow two hours after he hung up
his hat. But let's get him back in
the United States that we may show
others who ducked when Uncle Sam
called for aid that no matter how
much money a man may have, he
isn't too good or too great to peel off
his coat and pitch in when there's
trouble ahead. Let's show the world
that there's something more highly
priced than money-and that's pa
triotism and true manhood. Let's
make an example Of this rich and
pampered rich do-nothing who has
tried to make Uncle Sam look foolish.
II the war were still in progress, the
firing-squad would be his just de-
serts. But if there are few faint
hearts who oppose this method, then
let's bring him back, stick him in
a federal prison for the balance Of
his life and forget to worry when the
guard overlooks prison etiquette and
uses his foot n him.

BARRING THE JAPs

Nebraska, with her many foreign
born aliens, has recently enacted q
law prohibiting all aliens from ac-
curing title to land. There seems to
be no reason to doubt that many Of
the other states will follow her lead
in such elimination Of alien landhold-
ers, who have not already bought real
estate. Wherever such laws are pass
ed the road to real estate ownership
by the Japanese will be closed. And
today, as every one knows, the Jap
anese question q one Of the biggest
and most serious this nation has to
face.
Aliens from Europe can quickly
become citizens of the Uuited States
and thereby escape from the provis-
ions barring them from owning land
but the Japenese and Chinese will bt
unable to do this. They must remain
aliens and landless, unless they al
ready own real estate, where sucf
laws as the one enacted in Nebrask'
are passed.
Every incident like the one in Ne
braska helps California and the othel
Pacific coast states in their struggle
to stop the spread of Japenese land
,.,,,,,;no and Tho naturalization of Jap
anese in this country. Every measure
adopted by a state far from the Pa
cific ocean which checks progress II
real estate buying and makes citi
zenship in this republic the open doc
to important privileves, strengthen
the western states, and at the SAM
time serves to make the entire Unite,
States a great deal more safe from
a mighty bad mixup with the oil
world in the years to come.

DEVOTION

AS an example of the devotion Of
the negro to those for whom they
work,an like, during the fire Thurs
day of the residence of Mr.. Gilbert,
their servant worked so faithfully to
save the effects of Mrs. Gilbert and
the children, that she forgot her own
clothes that were on the back gallery
until it was too late to save them.
Such fidelity is to be appreciated and
it is often found among the negro
race.
