Perfection Unattainable

SPEAKING before the Institute Of Politics at
~ Williamstown, Mass, DIR. RIMrrARE FUJIsAwA of
the University of Toxic, closed a very interesting
address on Democracy" with these words:
Perfection in this actual world is unattainable,
but some scorn Of selfshness and some hate of
wrong are essential for the smooth working of
democracy. On the other hand, as a practical ques-
ton, some scorn of self and some hate Of wrong
are only incompatible with possessing more or less
margin in the means of living which, 1 believe, is
covered by the name of high standard of living
Such considerations would show the validity of
what I have said concerning the extension of the
electorate and the education of voters as the two
processes Of perfecting a democracy. I see no rea.
son why the two processes should not go on side
by side instead of one after the other, particularly
Of wealth and resources which the necessary for
furthering the advancement of education.
Moreover, in this respect, all countries of the
world, not excepting even the most advanced ones,
are still in a state Of transition. Such considera.
lions would show the validity, even if only for the
present, of my definition of democracy. In any case,
one thing seems to be beyond doubt, and that is
that every nation has the right to its. own conccp.
ton of democracy and no nation has the right to
demand that its conception of democracy should I'M
eonditionally be accepted by all other countries OF
the world. >
at may be asked whether my conception of de
mocracy is shared by the large majority, if not all
the thinking men of my country. 1 say decidedly:
NO." Yet the speaker bravcly gave them forth as
those which he hoped would prevail in Japan.

moment the same feeling Of party
loyalty that men have. This a.
because they lack experience In
the political neid and because In
order to set the things they have
wanted In the past they have had
to be bipartisan. As they pro-
Eress politically they will ind that
they al do their best work
through party organisation. ana
that their duty and their inciina-
tion will be to elevate the parties
and to clarity many conditicos
which are now cloudy.
There are more Republican
women IN the United States than
Republican men. This Is because
women absorb their political be-
liefs from their fathers and grand
fathers rather than from ..5eir
husbands The fathers and grnnd-
fathers OF the Republican women
of today lived IN the strenuous
days OF the Republican party and
hence were loyal to its early and

Fighting Dead Issues

TITLE NoURISHMENT can be derived from
IL quarreling over the Newberry expense account in
the Michigan senatorial primaries Of several years
ago. That incident is closed, and we trust the pay
went to the persons who did tho work. The actual
cost Of keeping HENRY FoKD out Of the American
senate, whatever it was, was worth the money.
1t will be admitted that he can turn out more
Hivvers per twenty.four hours than any living
maker of cars, but 1t is not admitted that he would
be of any value as a member of the United States
senate. For a gentleman serving a great state as its
representative at Washington must know something
more than how to obtain volume in output and Mr..
FoHp knows but little else.
In some states they are conducting political cam.
paigns with the Newberry advertising bill as the
issue, and this is not taking place in Michigan
either, the state having the greatest interest in any
such discussion.
It would seem that with hundreds of other pub.
lie matters crying for attention, real live issues,
there is little need dragging in dead ones like the
Newberry contest which has been settled by the
courts and all but forgotten.
Whatever lesson is to be taught by the expendi-
ture of campaign funds for favorites has been i'm
parted in the NEwBEkRY- FoRD case long ago.
For heavens sake don't disturb the political
churchyard for topics for discussion.

Cost of Strikes

UNNECESSARILY rough estimates of the losses
~ which the strikes OF the miners and railroad
have already caused, directly, show appal.
lingly large figures, which are likely TO be greatly
exceeded when the ultimate reckoning Ia made" Is
the view taken by the Albany Journal.
"The number of striking miners is estimated at
ers at $4,000. On that basis there is an average
daily loss of $7,500,00o in wages, making a total,
thus far Of $500, 100000 or more.
"Loss of the mine operators is estimated at
something like $250,000y000, on the basis Of 81 a ton
for the bituminous coal that would have been mined
in the time of the strike. Estimate of the loss of
the anthracite mine operators is omitted. presum-
ably because it is considered that intensive opera
ton will to a degree make up for present stoppage
of earnings.
"And it is estimated that the railroads have al.
ready lost about 81 600 through diminished oper-
alton facilities and conditions that required extra
ordinary expenditures.
"These estimates make a total loss of more than
half a billion dollars, of which nearly half is suf-
fered by the workers.
Most of that loss can never be made up. And
then there are the innumerable indirect losses from
compulsory reduction of activity In industries
which require abundance of coal for continuous op-
GRAFTON, and from decreased purchasing capacity Of
the million and a quarter workers who are without
their regular wages.
att is obvious that there isn't anything that can
be gained by the strikes, which can com
pensate the strikers for the losses which they are
whose enormous total is steadily grow
ing while these workers remain idle"
