THE DIFFERENCE

Augustus Thomas, playwright, was
lately mentioned by Mark Sullivan
among the noted Americans not ac-
lively in politics whom Sullivan
thinks would make good presidents.
Mr.. Thomas has Just concluded a
highly interesting series Of articles,
"The Print of My Remembrance" in
the Saturday Evening Post. OF es-
pecial value to the citizen who wants
to keep posted" is quotation the
playwright makes from an old book
entitled Toulmin Smiths Local Self
Government and Capitalization, is
sued in London in 1851. Read it:
"Local self-government is that sys-
tenn of government under which the
greatest number of minds, knowing
the most, and having the fullest op-
portunities of knowing it, about the
special matter in hand, and having
the greatest interest in its we'll
working, have the management OF it,
or control over it.
naturalization is that system of
government under which the smallest
number of minds, and those knowing
the least, and having the fewest OPP
portunities of knowing it, about the
special matter in hand, and having
the smallest interest in its we'll
working, have the management OF it,
or control over il"
These definitions were brought to
the attention Of William j. Bryan,
who described them as the best he
had ever heard for the purpose OF
showing the difference in the two
systems of government. In a gen.
eral way they might also be said to
define the distinction in faith be-
tween the two great political parties
the republican party being the
party Of Hamilton, the great expo
nent Of Capitalization, and the demo-
cratic party that of Jefferson, the
equally renowned champion Of local
self-government and of opportunity
for the fullest possible development
of the individual. In other words,
the true gospel of the democratic
party is unalterably opposed to So
cialism in any form.
Mr.. Thomas thoughtfully pursues
middle course. He would have the
local self-government idea carried
out to the greatest possible extent
in our domestic affairs, and strong
Capitalization in our relations with
foreign countries. And this, to our
own way of thinking, is the correct
attitude.
At all events these definitions will
bear careful perusal and measure
of study. Just now they are partic-
ularly pertinent, in view of the
marked trend of our government
since the world war toward pattern
alism.
