work In a government that was not intended by it's founders to be a pure democracy. Freedom Is the straint, freedom from school re- straint. freedom from law re- straint. freedom from sex re- straint, freedom from religious re- straint. Isn't it about time to ut ter in the welter of words which are influencing conduct a few words about the principles and customs which enabled free thinkers of today to reach their sublime agreement about the ideals of America?
 When ancient Israel led the vanguard of the nations on the march toward civilization one Of her great kings placed upon rec ord for the guidance of his people these words: Walk about Zion, and go around about her; tell tho towers thereof. Mark ye we'll her bulwarks. consider her palaces; that ye may tell 1t to the genera tion following" He believed Is- rael was all right. He bade His people observe. learn. understand Israel so they might be enabled to preserve 1t. He had hope that if they saw and knew and under stood they would hold fast to the faith. America was made great by many things, principally by veneration and respect for consti- tuted authority. which demands quiet obedience to the mandates of the law and patient endurance of unjust and unwarranted deci- sions until by orderly processes they may be altered. She was made great by each man sweeping his own dooryard rather than cleaning the yards of his neigh up and upkept. She was made vidual responsibility for personal conduct than by any idea that each man was to be guardian of the conduct of others. She was made great by compromise and adjustment. by consideration of the other mans viewpoint. She was made great by allowing the gospel to be preached by pol ished Paul in Athens and by plain Bartholomew in the fishing smacks by the sea She was made great by recognition of the fact that tho supreme duty of her citizens calls for malice toward none and charity for all. Ours Is a government of laws. not of mon. and government by discretion. even of the most discreet, leads to far worse confusion than could possibly arise from foolish stand ards. America was made great by building up. not by a tearing down; by recognition of the truth that 1t is not what a man has nor what he does, but what he Is. that marks him as a good or bad citizen.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL Former Vice President of the
 Tinted States

In the dear departed days of In- diana politics. when we had just Democrats. Republicans and i'm migrants to deal with, party leader once was asked how he proposed to conduct the campaign. His answer was typical of the age. It was: Boys. when you mako scholars of all the school, school Is out"
 Oracular, indeed, was this state ago. We are approaching. if we have not already reached the time when scholars have been made of all the school, and school Is almost out. Times have changed. No longer can 1t be said that results of the political game depend primarily upon the shrewd- ness of the players. or that secrecy as to moves. which then was one of the strong points of the game. Is now essential. Voters have ceased to be checkers, white and black, to be moved about by play CTS of the game. They have had the breath of political life breath ed into them, and they move themselves.
 Much might be written about the relative merits of the old and new systems. Advantages and disadvantages of each might be noted. I care nothing about the merits and demerits so far as mere office holding and party su- premacy are concerned, yet I can ha ~ | 1t is impossible in America to disassociate partisan habits from the conduct of those affairs which are far more important than the temporary holding of the reins of power. When in practice, re- gardless of any theory to which we held. we began to get away from representative government, new habit of political thinking began to develop, and naturally enough this habit invaded other avenues of life. It could not be otherwise than that a man of re- stricted environment and devoid of real education would become assertive and self-opinionated about everything coming under his attention after he had asserted himself on things political. Though lacking sufficient expe- rience to realize that much may truthfully be asserted on both sides of nearly every question, he had been encouraged to believe that upon his judgment hung the hopes and fears of humankind. In this age of universal infor- nation moro than ever before, perhaps. the old adage. "A little learning is dangerous thing, holds good. It was a little learn- ing that induced the surgeon with knowledge that a diseased appen- dix should be removed to cut into the left side of a patient and sever

Grade Crossings and Subway

Grade Crossings and Subway y To the Editor of Tho Age-Herald:
 In The Age-Herald of Juno 8 Is given praise to the Junior Cham Der of Commerce rightly deserved. The writer contends and would like to have The Age-Herald and Junior Chamber of Commerce CO., operate in the work of elimination of the grade crossings on Twen- tieth and Eighteenth streets in our fast growing Magic" City. by having the Louisville and Nash vile lower their tracks. subway 1t from Twentieth to Eighteenth street, inclusive. Cut all tracks at Twentieth Street, and Eighteenth streets. The company keep their whole yard intact also ware house. etc. Go up. far enough in the yard so as to get elevation der Twentieth and Eighteenth streets.
 It will be the best and only real solution of the grade-crossing in that particular part. It can be done, too. for less cost, as the railroad can dig right down and complete 1t without little blockage of trackage. and then we'll have a new depot. too. of course, and everybody will be happy and sat- !sfied, pleased and contented. believe the railroad company will act on this suggestion as soon as they see 1t in The Age-Herald. with the editors comments, and say: That's 1t; why didn't we see that before?"
 If tho Louisville and Nashville cares to they can make dozen tracks or more underground by the depot; then they can sell enough land on thu surface to more than pay for the lowering of tracks (subway) and new de- pot. and what an improvement, wonderful. beautiful. practical and rightly. Then again. no in tolerance. annoyance and traffic hindrances caused by leisure. by occupation of grade crossings, etc. No checking up, nor arrests: no fines for violations. and the traffic can go on unhindered by street cars. autos and pedestrians and parents won't need to worry about their children nor them selves being run over or killed by the trains. Last, but not least, the railroads can run their locomotives. freight and passen- gen trains at all times out of sight," and stop when and where they please; nobody's business then. The Louisville and Nash vile can let the Southern Rail- road and others use their sub way-railroads have gentlemen's agreements anyhow. Let tho good work go on-time for action now!

A girl of Los Angeles, attend ing the convention of the Shriners, encountered the president at the White House. Naively. she asked him what his duties were.
 "oh." said the president. T am one of the follows who hang around to see that everything goes all right"
 The girl walked on. She was later appraised by one of her as- sociates that she had 'braced" the president. Very red of face, she ran back to explain and apol- ogize. The gracious president, of course. had nothing to forgive and told her so.
 The president. still amused, told the story to newspaper men to- day.
 Washington, in entertaining the Shriners. demonstrated to its own satisfaction, at least. that 1t could satisfactorily entertain any dele gation. whatever its number.
 So Washington invited the Democrats and Republicans to hold their conventions in this city. It Is not anticipated that either will accept. The idea entertained by politicians Is that conventions should be held where impressions may be made for effect in the subsequent election.
 Washington has no vote, and neither party could be benefited by convening there and spending great sums of money in hotels and restaurants and stores. At the same time, by the same pro- cess of reasoning. neither party could hurt itself.
 There Is still another reason why politicians will fight shy of Washington, in all probability. Washington wants the right of suffrage. That Is a big question. Republicans would hesitate for fear lest Washington comprised In great part of natives of Vir- ginia and Maryland, would go Democratic.. Democrats will never consent to Washington voting un- til Washington agrees to throw certain restrictions around its suffrage. Democrats do not lik e the Republican ticket and tax the Democrats with the necessity of overcoming additional electoral votes.
 There would be additional trouble for Republicans in con- vention here. If they hesitated to write Washington suffrage in their platform, they would give offense to the negroes who can vote in other municipalities. In some municipalities and perhaps states. the negro vote constitutes the balance of power.
 Well. the sugar graft con- tinues. The president declares he will not take advantage of the "elastic" provisions of the tariff act and reduce the sugar rate. and thus reduce the price to the con- sumer. The attorney general Is outwardly belligerent, and de- clares that he will force sugar thieves to reduce their price by federal injunction.
 The injunction. however. is be- fore the supreme court, and the supreme court has recessed until October. The canning season will have come and gone before the injunction can even be argued.
 But. after the horse has made good his escape, Mir. Daugherty Is determined that the stable door shall be securely locked.

 There Is too much pessimism abroad concerning agricultural condition. due to the heavy rains of the past several weeks. too much insinuation that the farming industry Is going to the demni- ton bow-wows. It isn't. It is true that farmers have been greatly delayed by the rains of late, that their fields where planted require great amount of working out, that their early an- ticipated yields are not going to materialize. but 1t Is not true that they are not going to raise a crop this year. They are.
