Democracy
and Equality

~ NE of the most constant re-
currences of nonsense is the
~ expression of the idea that
democracy implies that all men are
equal.
1t is precisely the contrary that
is true.
The very purpose of democracy
is to preserve the inequalities
among human beings. 1t is tyranny
that insists on equality. That is
to say, there can be no autocracy
that is not based upon the class
system, whether that autocracy be
military or ecclesiastic.
The very basis of the rule by
one monarch or one group of auto
Gratis is that the castles of men
in the grades below must remain
fixed.
The idea of democracy is that
opportunities shall be equal, not
men; that all the hatchways shall
be open.
In this way genius is allowed
to mature wherever it may be
found.
Ones grade in society is to be
determined simply by his worth
and not by privilege or tradition.
1t is only the Creator that en-
dows men with their varied fac
ulties, and the Creator has no re-
gard for our artificial schemes.
He is fond of bringing a Lin
coin from out the poor white trash
of Kentucky, and otherwise remind
ing US that He reserves the right
to Himself to say who shall be
great.
One man is borr a leader or a
musician or an artist or a writer
and a thousand men are born COM
monplace; and we may set one of
the commonplace men on a throne
and put crown on his head and
give him million dollars a year,
but he will remain a boob.
1t is democracy that gives the
born leader a chance, and only
democracy.
1t is democracy that is the foe
OF the class system in every form,
and only democracy.
1t is democracy that means
square deal for every man and
woman, and that square deal shall
be attained only when democracy
shall have covered the earth as
the waters cover the sea.

The Richest State

4 CCORDING to statistics re-
"a Gently published, that State
"A in the Union which has the
best right to call itself the rich
est is California.
1t is richest per capita.
1t is stated that greater
economic equality exists in San
Francisco and in the State of Cali
fornia than elsewhere in the ma
ton. This is in part due to an
intensive campaign in savings on
the part of the California banks.
California today, according to
these statistics, though only eighth
in population among the States in
the Union, is fifth in her bank re-
sources.
The press reports from which
these facts are taken give the ag-
gregate bank, resources of Cali
fornia to Be- the colossal sum of
$2,500,000,0O0.<.
They go on to say that in bank
ing power per capita, in bank de-
poSitS per capita ana In the size
of her per capita deposit Cali
fornia stands in the first rank of
all States. =
This means that the people, of
California are not only the rich
est in the world, but that wealth
is more evenly distributed among
them than anywhere else on earth,
every sixth man owning his own
automobile.
The important question to be
asked here is: Why is California
so prosperous and why have her
people so conserved their wealth in
such large amounts for reinvest-
ment and reproduction The one
answer is:
Savings banks.

That the span of human life

longer than anywhere else in

Come Home,
Mr.. Cox
THE European pot keeps a-boil-
ing. And, like an undertone

ing. And, like an undertone
in symphony, the simmering
huns a constant tune:
"It's all up to the United
States. :"
Mr.. James M. Cox, defeated
candidate for the Presidency Of the
United States, is in Europe stand
ing beside the pot. And to help the
boiling along, he throws this mess
into it:
'"The nations of Europe are dead
locked on the reparations question.
No decision by England seems like
ly to be accepted by the French.
"The French Government 1OtH
not sanction a proposal from Ger:
many which might approximate
readjustment of the figures now in
the minds of French statesmen, be-
cause that circumstance might be
regarded by the public opinion of
France as a surrender to Germany.
Unless the United States interests
herself in European affairs within
a very short time, all in Germany
is lost and all in Central Europe as
well.'
The italics are ours.
A great portion of the present
European muddle is no doubt due
to Woodrow Wilson's great blum
der in having led the weary and
harassed combatants to believe that
his personal idea of the right kind
of peace to conclude was the pre-
vailing idea of the United States
and Europe's own blunder in not
having insisted upon finding out
whether he spoke with authority.
The worst that can be said of
Mr.. Wilson on this score is that he
was a self-willed ideahst who imag
ined that a hundred million people
would abandon all their traditions
to follow him blindly. The mo-
ment they began to think they re-
pudiated him and his views.
But what should be said of Mr..
Cox, who, with the clear-spoken
voice of his country still ringing
in his ears, dares to add fuel to
the European flame by giving them
cause to believe that it is his coun-
try's duty to help them out?
If the nations of Europe are dead
locked, then let them unlock the
deadlock. 1t is a political, finan-
cial, economic struggle. AND
WE'RE OUT OF 1T AND WILL
STAY OUT OF 1T.
1t was the policy of the founders
of this country to keep out of Eu-
ropean entanglements. At the last
national election this policy was
overwhelmingly approved. A pri-
vate citizen has a perfect right to
find fault with this conclusion and
to think that he knows better than
the majority of his fellow citizens.
But. what does one think of a
citizen who has been so highly hon.
ored as the late defeated candidate
of the Democratic party who, in a
foreign country, right alongside the
boiling pot which is hungering for
more American lives and dollars,
finds fault publicly with the. ma
jority Of his countrymenf
You had better come home, Mr..
Cox, and ask the American people
who do not speak French or Ger
man or Italian or Russian how
much more money they want to in
vest in the European mess. Be-
cause, after all, it s American money
they want-not advice, moral sup
port or economic doctrine.
You will find that America will
pay millions for charity but not a
cent to direct Europe's destiny.
