natural evolution
Roughly classifying we might saw that
the earliest leader of men was the warrior
Inc most perfect type is Julius Caesar The
soldier-hero was king, lawgiyer and high
priest.
Inc leader of men in the medieval world
was the priest, of whom Gregory the Great
Is the type. He projected the Caesaria sys-
tenn into the spiritual world
After the Reformation and the French
revolution the hereditary noble was the
leader. or this class Queen Victoria and
ffahcls Joseph of Austria are good examples
NOW mat democracy is finding itself it is
recognizing that work, and not war nor re-
hglous feeling noble dIettantism is the
only normal occupation of the common man
Hence Inc natural ruler of the common man
is the business man, that is the man who
gives employment and directs labor
what are we coming to, then? The sordid-
ness OF universal dollar rule? The crassness
OF piutucracy? The worship Of the shrewd-
ness and fox-likeness needed to amass
money, to the detriment Of the nobIer ele-
ments of character?

The responsibility that rests on wealth
is the most misunderstood OF sociaI-ethical

TO just one thing, to-wit, to make conditions

THE LAPSE OF NAPOLEON

r N his time, Napoleon Bonaparte was the
most thrilling character in his century
He the terror of Europe, and the
pride and boast of France. HI seemed to
be invincible at the height of his career
but the tide turned the 18th of June,
1915. when the battle of Waterloo was;
fought. Napoleon's descent was as great
as his rise had been phenomenal.
He made some mistakes and his personal
ambition misled him into disaster finally.
France generally gets bewildered in the
blaze of what she calls GLORY" The wor-
shippers of Napoleon shouted for glory and
there will be monuments in France in mem
DRY OF the great Corsican for ages to come.
If he had gone slower he would have
lasted longer If he had not placed a
crown on his head France would have
served him better in the end Among the
certain things in human life is the downfall
that goes along with towering ambition
There have been examples of personal am
bltion in our own country that broke down
IN unexpected places. Henry Clay and J. G..
Blaine are samples of what is here indicat-
ed. Both OF them set their hearts on oc-
cupying the White House. They put in this
craving all the strength of their lives and
vet what seemed near was really far off
Ihey were sorely disappointed To the end
or thelr lives there was unavailing regret at
the breakdown. Thus Napoleon deceived
himself.

The Democratic Convention

ne DSWOCT0t7c AOnOenC7Ou
THE national convention of the Demo
Gratis, only two days futureward, will
present thousand significant con-
trasts to that of the Republicans. Always
opposed in principle, the two parties are now
strikingly different in personality as we'll
The foregathering at Cleveland would have
been as flat as a Coolidge message on the
World Court but for the occasional upsurging
OF little group of wild Westerners, who
were squelched, and for the last-minute sur
prise OF Dawes being chosen tail of the Pres
idential kite. In all other respects that con
vention might have been held with automa-
tons for delegates, operated by switch from
the White House.
There will be nothing mechanical about
the Democratic meeting, and no shadow of
dictatorship. A majority of the delegates
come instructed or personally committed to
vote for William G. McAdoo But their
pledges have been voluntarily taken, and
their only bond is that of a common enthu-
for the free principles he champions. Every
step of the New York convention promises to
be unconstrained and forward going
In further and sharper contrast to the Re-
publican affair will be the interests and aims
dominant at the Democratic council. Forces
there are which, though without loyalty to
either party, seek to control and use them
both-ths forces, for instance, behind the
Fordney McCumber tariff and other legisla-
tion that favors the few at the expense OF
the rank and file. That these will have their
agents at the New York convention there Is
no gainsaying; nor can it be denied that
they will do their resourceful utmost to pre-
vent the nomination of William G. McAdoo.
But whereas at the Republican national con-
vention they were the very body of the cur
bubbles on the stream.
Nor is this surprising when consider
the recent records on which the two parties
stand. The Republican is record of reac-
ton against what is most liberal in Ameri.
can policy and most heroic in American his
tory, turning back from things progressive
in our own government and reputation OF
the ideals for which we entered the World
war. Moreover, within the tenure of the
present administration there has existed at
Washington such recreance to official trusts
such disregard of public interests, such in
competency, such corruption and such graft
as have no parallel in the annals of the last
halt century. What different background
is that OF the Democratic convention whose
coussseis will be inspired by fresh and im-
Sri~aable memories of administration
which was as great in peace as In and as
noble in deeds as in ideals.
Much is expected this year OF Democracy
representatives in the forthcoming conveu

that they will put forward Presidential
