the well-to-do middle classes. The
Workers Party fought for a Farmer
Labor party, for farmer-labor plat
form and for farmer-labor candidates.
1he Workers Party did all in its power
to expose the petty bourgeois game of
Senator LaFollette and to denounce
and couIt-ract his attempt to destroy
the farmer-labor movement. The
Workers Party fought for the political
independence of the oppressed masses
as against the political leadership and
domination over these masses by both
Big and Small Business alike.
Such was the strategy of the Work

And the tactics employed were Of such
nature as to secure for the position
of the Workers Party almost the unan-

BY WILL p. KENNEDY

long to US, the people. When one
part or class is given some right or
special favor in which all the people
do not share, it represents some
thing taken from all Of US and given
to few.
Agency for Protection.
Government is nothing but an
agency for the protection of common
rights, as, for example, when you chip
in and buy a base ball and bat, you
all own it on shares but you ap-
point some able fellow to take charge
of it. The Government has nothing
of it's own TO give and carries on as
we. the people-all equal partners
direct.
SO we, the Government, control
ourselves through our honor system
or we are controlled by others. Alex
ander Hamilton, who more than any
other man is responsible for the
framework of our system OF self
government said:
Give all the power TO the many.
they. will oppress the few; give all
the power to the few, they will op-
press the many Both, therefore.
ought 10 have the power that each
may defend itself against the other"
The price of good government is
eternal vigilance by the people.
To use this great power and right
of self-government properly and to
preserve government "of the people.
by the people, for the people" there
is duty in honor, conscientious,
moral obligation upon you and me
and all Of US, a duty to ourselves and
to each other-to be accurately in
formed.
Indifference Is Hit.
You, boys and girls, in school to-
day are to be the voters in d few
years; you will be the leaders of
public thought and civic action. 1t is
your duty to prepare yourselves by
keeping well informed about the af-
fairs of Government, which really are
your own affairs.
Here is Washington's own advice:
"In proportion as the structure of a
government gives force to public
opinion it should be enlightened"
The National Government often Is
criticized by unthinking people who
do not understand the nature of
peoples government. They criticize
it as something remote from them
selves. Whatever is found wrong in
any branch of the Government can
be corrected by the people them
selves
School children OF today must pre-
pare for their duties of few years
hence by setting firmly in their mind
that they must always be on their
guard against political indifference
which gives Il minority control.

In your school if the teacher is
always on the lookout to catch you
"out of order" you feel like break
ing all the rules you can without
being punished, but if the teacher
puts you ION your honor" your de-
pertinent is as near perfect as rest
less, healthy boys and girls can make
it.
This shows you the difference be-
tween the old monarchal form of
government and the honor system
in our own, National Government.
We are all on our honor toward our
fellow citizens.
The world for centuries has tried
all sorts of government--from rule
by one man to rule by the mob-and
tyranny and rebellion have as re-
suit made history grewsome reading.
1t was not until the honor system
was set up in this land of the free
and the home of the brave" that the
idea was given a chance to solve the
problems of government.
This is a Government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people"
You, we, all of the 1l0,0o0,o00 persons
men. women and children-are the
Government. Here in America the
people rule. They have it in their
power to shape the Government poll
or bad, depending on the interest the
people take in il.
People Retain Power.
In many countries the rights of the
people go down from The State,
which means the ruling authority.
In this country the power OF The
State" goes up from the people. This
is the only country in the world in
which sovereignty is in the people.
We now have the oldest form of
government. because this honor syS-
tenn of ours has lasted longer than
any other without destructive change
The Federal Government is not an
institution set apart to rule us-lt
is ourselves. We elect certain lndi-
viduals to represent US. for short
periods, it is true, but we always re-
main the real governing authority.

without resort to force or violence.
may change the form of government
from a republic TO something else
We might even abandon written
Constitution, which is the very corner

a steady increase in Russian trade

trade through Great Britain and Ger
many, which is of considerable pro-
portions, but impossible to trace ex-

the fiscal year ending June 80 1928,
goods to the value of $15523,S01, i'm
porting in that year goods valued at
S1,24l, 1863.
In the past fiscal year, exports to
Russia increased to $24.904,597, while
imports rose to $5,078.093 The gain
was particularly noticeable in Eure-
pean Russia, which took $22.451 ,635

sent us s4,926,S05 worth of imports.
