Pictures

I shall make OF zach day a canvas to
hold
The thoughts that I dream but have
never yet told;
The thoughts Of the things I am long
ing to be,
AID beauty to hear and beauty to see.
One thought is a picture of chiidr,n
that run
Through tulips and peoples. m laugh
in the sun.
And one is a picture OF heaven afa-
When no thought lie stirring say Only
a star.
And one is a bird who's silver soft
wings
Now flash and now fade. and forever
he sings
Tho song that through aSes has
never been heard.
The music OF silence, the unspokcn
word.
The pictures are many. but always the
frame
Is over and over forever the same
a desk and a chair and a silent brick
wall.
And a border Of duty surrounding IL
all.

rendering a Lemon

ITHE DEMOCRATS are playing to the galleries,
= where the ladies sit. They are loud and vehement
in calling attention to the nomination by their party
of Mrs. OLSEN, of Minnesota, for the United States
senate. They are ringing in the changes on Mrs.
OLEsEN's nomination in an effort to make women
believe the Democrats are the only party which rec.
Iognizes woman in politics sufficiently we'll to give
her a nomination of distinction.
Their constant drumming upon that one string
indicates that 1t is the only string upon which they
have to play. Instead of emphasizing what they
have done for women, the conspicuous isolation of
this one instance, which they so persistently en-
phasize, only focuses attention upon what they
have not done for women.
Furthermore, it is of more than passing signif-
lcance that they selected a state in which they knew
they had noNhope of winning for the purpose of
putting a woman on the ticket. Nominating some
lone to lead a forlorn hope in order to pay off a
political debt owed by someone is a very old prac-
tice by some politicians. 1t would seem this were
the situation with the Democratic machine and
Mrs. OLEsEN in Minnesota.
If the Democratic party wishes to show how
much they think of women and how ardent is their
desire to elevate women to high Office in the land,
why did they not put up a woman for the senate in
Mississippi where she would have been certain of
an election had she been nominated?
There are a great many districts and a great
many states which are solidly Democratic where
the nomination of a woman to congress or some
high state position would be equivalent to an cleo
ton. We search them in vain for any such exhibit
ton of Democratic chivalry. The Democratic policy
is to nominate women only where they know women
can never be elected, but to reserve for the men all
nominations where there is any chance of election.
From all we have heard of Mrs. OLEsEN, she is a
splendid woman, of engaging personality and com.
manding talent. We regret she did not live in Mis-
sissippi or Alabama or Georgia, where she might
really have had a chance to go to Washington
and associate with a Republican woman who is in
congress, sent there from a Republican district,
Miss ALICE ROBERTSON, of Oklahoma.

nnSoS himself was the shining exempIar of this
policy. No president in the history of the United
states ever tnterfered so uIjustiAably and SO auto
Icraucally In the primaries of his party as did Presi,
dent WILSON. He and his CLIQUE still practice that
policy. There is not the least doubt that they will
knife Senator REED in Missouri. There is not the
least doubt that they will knife any other Demo
era who is nominated against their wishes. There
is not the least doubt they would sooner see the
Democratic party go to pieces than TO see it succeed
under a leadership other than their own.
The Democratic minority in the congress has de-
veioped no leadership. The Democratic headers"

ship. They are neither admired nor feared by their
Democratic associates. Their constant abuse and
IviIlincation on the floor of the senate has disguised
not only the substantial Democrats in congress but
has disguised outstanding Democrats everywhere.
Such Democratic papers as the New York Times and
the Baltimore Sun in the north and the Richmond
Dispatch in the south have repeatedly deplored the
fact that the Democratic members of neither branch
of congress have exhibited any symptoms of leader.
ship, have formulated any policy or have shown any
cause why the country should return the Democrats
TO control of either branch of congress.
The Democratic publicity reflects this low estate.
1t offers nothing constructive. 1t is broadcasting
a lot of ridiculous assertions which have no founda.
ltion in fact. 1t is devoted largely to cheap abuse.
1t has been compelled TO abandon n discussion of
first one issue and then another because it had no
facts with which to back up its assertion. Even
upon the tariff, about which it is making the loud
est noise, it is compelled TO witness Democratic sen.
ators voting for the protective schedules almost
every roll call. 1t is common knowledge that Sena-
tor AsHuRsT, of Arizona, Senator JONES, of New
Mexico, and Senator KENDRIcK, of Wyoming, are
making campaigns upon the fact that they have
supported the Legislative program put over by the
Republican congress.
The Democratic organization in several states
has sought TO strengthen itself by making a shame,

nents, with the Communists, Socialists and others

cratic ranks in TIE state where this sort of com.
bination was engineered by the Democratic leaders.

substantial, law-abiding Democrats and has not
won the confidence or support of the radical ele-
ments.

Democracu's Predicament

THE INSPIRED STORY going the rounds that
L the Democratic party has decided to center its
efforts this year upon carrying several state cleo
lions rather than the next congress has a great
many facts to give it substantiation.
The underlying fact is that the Democratic party
has nothing upon which they can go to the people
in the present campaign and ask for a vote of con.
fdence. The party has no program. 1t stands for
no policy. Its leaders are at loggerheads. Its
issue in 1920 was the league of nations; its leader
was WOODROW WILSON
Today the party is hopelessly split upon the issue
of the league of nations. The victory of Senator
REED in Missouri was a terrible blow TO the league
of nations followers and an even worse blow to the
WILSON faction. The fact that former Senator
VARpAMAS, of Mississippi, received the highest
number of votes in the state primary is another
blow to the leadership of the WILSON crowd.
These facts have an evil meaning for democracy.
The WILSON Democrats are not good Democrats in
the sense that they are for the party first. They
have always been distinguished by the advocacy and
practice of the policy OF rule or ruin WooDRow

An Advanced Suggestion

"A bill has been introduced in the
British parliament that must make a
strong appeal TO all lovers of fair
play" declares the Valve World. ''lt
is Intended TO prevent any possibility
Of intimidation or undue influence in
the taking OF a ballot by members OF
a trade union on a proposal to declare
a strike.
Under the provisions OF this bill
strike ballots taken in vital industries
must he conducted by independent of
ficials and under a system OF secrecy.
The industries named are: Mining.
railways, gas supply. shipping. water
surs.y and lighting supply. A ballot
taken under the new conditions would
be conducted under the supervision OF
a committee comprising the president
OF tho beard of trade. the minister OF
labor. h registrar OF friendly societies
twho would be the chairmanJ the
chairman OF the parliamentary labor
party, the chairman OF the rad un-
ion congress. and two other persons
appointed by the trade union con.
gress at its annual general meeting.
The committee would endeavor 'to
secure n true and secret vote of the
persons entitled to vote on the ques-
ton submitted to tho ballot" It
would take entire charge Of the ballot
and issue and collect all papers and
documents. Amy divuisence OF secrets
or any intimidation or effort to infiu.
ence the voting on one side or the
other is made punishable.

lists. especially, for they are the ones
most directly interested in any pro.
posal to A working, and therefore.
to cease earning. 1t is quite ~concelv-
able that many a strike that has been
called in the past, never would have
been called were trades unionists sure
that the expression of their honest
convictions on the question would re-
main a matter between themselves and
the ballot box. And 1t Is just as con.
cetvable that many a strike has been
called and a brought Its losses and
suffering to union members because
the b~alloting was not secret and the
voters. through fear, did not exercise
their actual wishes.
All ~balloting by wage arner on a
proposition that for any reason they
should cease to earn wages-for that
is the sum and substance OF a strike
ought to be conducted under as much
independence and secrecy as is our
balloting for political offices. In fact,
would 1t not be a good idea il all such
proposals were handled through the
regular machinery established for the
recording of votes on public matters;
for where is the strike that does not
more or less intimately concern and
affect the general public? Under such
an arrangement it Is our frank con.
viction that the number of strikes,
with their consequent losses TO both
strikers and h public. would be re.
duced materially"

in the year Of our Lord 1922. seven
centuries after the emerging national
state began to assume Jurisdiction
over recalcitrant feudal barons haugh-
ty and wilfui prelates and monopo-
listic corporations OF artisaDs. One
might almost think that feudal dis
indignation had set In.
1t is needful TO recall just what the
modern state is. In general Il is an
loutgrowth OF feudal anarchy. through
"a process Of naturalization and Sc
polarization Of authority. Specifically
lit may be defined as a sovereign politl.
lcal unit. Feudalism knew no unitary
sovereign political authority. II was
a series OF persons and property re-
lationships eliminating in the king 40
the great overload over his vassals
the king had a certain authority. but
he never was quite sure low much.
But gradually the king enlarged his
royal domain; gradually he drew with
in the net OF his Jurisdiction barons,
clergy and corporations: gradually he
rose to be a sovereign.
That process OF rehabilitation and
g~eculnrization was necessary TO the
rise Of the modern state. 1t went fur
ther in France than It did In England.

ion took the control of his sovereign
political mi from one and gave IT
TO the many. That is what we call
democracy. Democracy. however. has
inherited the sovereign rights OF kings.
So government By the people does not
mean the dissolution of government
or should not mean that. Today there
lis a tendency-and II Is feudal-for
associations and corporations to usurp
the powers Of government. on the one
hand. and OF resist the authority OF
government. on the other. II that
tendency were to be carried far
enough 1t might result in a complete
decentralization OF government little
short of feudal anarchy. 1t needs to
be watched. True. decentralization
is an equal dangerous tendency IN the
opposite direction. But somewhere
there must be a golden mean. There
should be NJ Caesarism nor should
there be any surrender TO special inter
