Certainly the time has come when

TOTAL VOTE.

oyLOfJVoS
The gains seen in Arizona, Idaho,
Montana, Utah, Washington and Wy
oming are more than offset by the
losses in California, Colorado, Kan
sas, Nevada and Oregon. The total
vote polled in the eleven States last
month was less than 81 per cent of
the vote polled in the same States
four years ago.
This experience is not new. The
popular vote in 1900. and again in
1904, was less than the vote of 1896.
Apathy is not the reason for these
fallings Off There are two reasons
for them. One is the refusal of DEM
ocrats to go to the polls for a candi-
date whom they dislike or whom they
believe is certain to be defeated The
other reason Is the cocksureness of a
few Republicans.
AS 1t was when Mckinley opposed
Bryan in 1900, as 1t WAS when Roose-
velt opposed Parker in 1904, SO it
was when Harding opposed Cox.
What would have happened to
the Democratic candidate II all the
disgusted Democrats and all the
cocksure Republicans had turned out
and voted according to their con-
sciences? Harding's plurality we
fancy, would have equalled Cox's
total vote--New York Herald.

oNE.mAn GOVERNMENT

The certainty of the ultimate fail
ure Of one-man government is i'm
pressively emphasized by that emi-
nent historian Edwa1 Gibbon. In
his account of the beginning of the
decline of the Roman Empire he tells
us that if man were called upon to
fix the period in the history of the
world during which the condition of
the human race was most happy and
prosperous, he would without hesita-
The Delta independent., 1921-01-07

of Rome when the Empire was cover
ned by absolute power under the gut
dance of virtue and wisdom. He re-
marks, however, that although the
labors Of emperors then in power were
overpaid by the immense reward that
inseparably waited on their success,
by the honest pride of virtue and by
the exquisite delight of beholding the
general happiness of which they were
the, authors, yet, they must often
have recollected the instability of a
happiness which depended on the char
acter of a single man."
The people of Rome, accustomed to
one-man government with the legis-
lative body subservient, were in no
position to cope with the ignorant and
vicious tyrant whose reign marked
the beginning of the end of the Roman
Empire.
The American people may well con-
gratulate themselves and feel re-
newed confidence in the perpetuity of
American liberty with the Inaugural
tion next March of an administration
which rejects both the semblance and
the reality of one-man rule. and brings
to the administration Of the affairs
of the government the best minds and
highest characters available for the
promotion of the general welfare.
1t is not necessary to characterize
Woodrow Wilson as vicious in order
to show the fallacy OF his theories of
government. He came to the highest
executive office in the land almost
entirely ignorant Of the affairs of the
people whom he undertook to govern
He had never been in any way asso-
ciated with productive industry. He
had never earned his bread by the
sweat of his brow. He had never been
engaged in trade or in any competi-
tive enterprise. His life had been con-
fined chiefly to the schoolroom where
autocracy reigned supreme. 1t was
not to be expected that a man posses
sing his unsurpassed egotism, his un.
reasoning prejudices, and his unyield-
ing stubbornness could be transformed
in the twinkling of eye from man
of such human inffrmities to a divi-
nifty capable of administering with
both virtue and wisdom the compIi-
Gated affairs of hundred million
people. 1t is not at all surprising that
a man of such aggressive self-con-
ceit should surround himself largely
with men of incompetence and that
as result the business of the gov
ernment was conducted inefficiently
and extravagantly with steadily
growing encroachment of bureaucracy
upon the legitimate activities OF pri-
yate initiative and enterprise.
Not only in the methods pursued in
conducting his campaign for election,
but in the frequent conferences he
has since held with prominent men of
all sorts of economic views from all
parts Of the country since the election,
Mr.. Harding has given cause for re.
assurance to the people OF the United
States relative to the future of private
business and public welfare. Although
his public and private record have
demonstrated him to be man Of the
highest character and Of training
which fits him in an unusual degree
for the administration OF the public
business, yet he does not purpose to
place this country in the position
described by Gibbon in his story OF
Rome's decline. "the instability of a
happiness which depends on the char
acter of single man."

tifu1.
We would like to see '21 typify
WOMANHOOD for good and suffici-
ent reasons. One is that the coming
year would have no interest whatever
in war, or the things of war. This
old world has had its complete fill of
deadly conflict during the decade just
closed and If the WOMEN could have
their way there'd never be another
on this footstoll of the Lord.
II 1921 were Woman, the world
would see more religion and more of
the good things that come out of it.
The cynics and Bolshevists and ex-
ploiters of mankind generally may
sneer all they like at religion, but
God in the form we civilized people
know Him, or in some other form, has
been comfort and high inspiration
to untold billions of people in the
past and He will be again to untold
billions in the future. The earth needs
a great revival of religion in 1921.
II our New Year is anything like
WOMAN, we will see more coopera-
tion in the real things of life and
much more gentleness and human
sympathy and love in 1921 than for a
generation. The vice of hate has en-
circled the world and inflicted its
wounds on countless hearts. Only
human sympathy, kindness and love
will heal the deadly hurts that the
human race has suffered.
We repeat let's typify the New
Year as a WOMAN.
