expose, have constantly assumed the
necessity Of benevolent despotism.
Suppose we experiment with the 9TH
er option: benevolent democratism.
What may we say in its behalf? Let
us see.
The first article of a democratic
faith (unless it be a pure sham, is
the specialization of power. A leader
must be willing to submit his plans
and policies to those whom he may
neither respect for great knowledge,
nor trust for broad, good sense. Yet,
if he be a genuine democrat, he will
be willing to foster the myth (even
if it be only that, that the subor-
dinate many are worth while consult
ing anent the affairs of profundity.
1 tell to those Of you who have
never been possessed of great power
or of superior opportunity that the
most difficult achievement on this
earth for men of power is to learn
to share that power amicably and
honorably with other claimants. The
whole history Of civilization (socialo-
gically speaking) is the story of power
seeking by all means. foul and fair,
to Illustrate the specialization of its
prerogatives.
Let us not be forever hoodwinked.
Let us clearly realize that the love
of supervising and of controlling the
destiny of others (who are moved like
puppets by wills stronger than their
OWN, is deeper than tolerance or rea-
son or the passion for Justice. The
love Of power is the love of life it.
self. Power is life. 1t is more than
that. Power is life made exciting and
interesting and apparently worth
while. The will-to-power is the key
to the meaning of human history.
Now comes your democracy and
rudely commands: "Give up some of
this power. We trust no longer in
your infallibility. We don't feel safe
under your dictatorship. You don't
even know our interests, let alone sim
cerely care for them. What do you
know about us and our human de-
sires? Haven't we the same deep
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-12

need as you for power and prestige
and distinction and special privilege?
Unless we curtail your superiorities
and appropriate for ourselves the vast
power, hitherto in our credulity and
blindness forfeited to you, we cannot
attain our hearts desires. Our eyes
are opening. We, too, want a place
amongst the consultations. Yield your
glory to us. We desire to know the
delights of sovereignty"
The latter-day demands of democ-
racy shatter the most sacred assump-
tons of superiority. Do you under
lings expect Superiority to yield to
this half-awakened claimant without
murmur or blow? Benevolent democ-
racy shines in theory, but rusts in
practice. Men aren't capable of d.
viding their power with those who
are far removed from them in posi-
ton and viewpoint. That's why the
first need of true democracy, as /
am well aware, is the collective en-
thronement of the ordinary citizens,
in order that they may demand hear
ing in the councils of the Mighty
and be assured of obtaining it thru
their numerical strength (if they lack
other insignia of power).
When teachers in the ranks can
unite and present collective front to
their official superiors, one hates to
think of the formidable power their
union and unanimity will afford them
Benevolent democracy will arrive
when official superiors shall have been
replaced by comrades in equality,
| chosen from the common run of
teachers and wholly responsible to the
teacher citizenry. That day is sure
to come. It's arrival may be fastened
or delayed by the teachers themselves.
AS a benevolent despot, trained and
taught in the older, more rigid disci-
pline of superiority. cannot subscribe
to the disrespectful democracy of in
feriors. However, / have the intel
lectual acumen to interpret the signs
of change, when are as clear as day
light to those who are not spiritually
color-blind. Great changes are pre-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-12

pairing everywhere.
Whether these changes, bringing in
their tumultuous wake the socializa-
ton of power, the dethronement of
autocratic superiors, the greater equal
ization of all salaries, the restoration
of unfettered freedom of teaching
and Of criticism, will beget their own
peculiar problems of disharmony, we
need not at present discuss. The
school system cannot escape the con-
tagion of revolutionary change.
The most far-reaching change will
undoubtedly be the abolition Of the
hideously undemocratic and CALLING
superior-inferior relationship and the
substitution therefor of a democracy
of comrades.

ent will conserve his time by use of
the telephone wherever possible, by
taking clippings from the local papers,
by building up regular and reliable
channels of news, and by making adj
vance lists of union elections and 9TH
er labor events. Advance notices of
important labor events are worthy Of
a short news item and should be sent
to the DAILY WORKER.
Technical Changes.
Many letters come into the editorial
Office of the DAILY WORKER, which,
after a few minor mechanical chang
es, can be put into the DAILY WORK
Err just as they are written. But
the editorial staff is very busy, and it
is often these technical errors which
keep otherwise acceptable news lay
ing around the editorial rooms for
weeks. In the next article l will give
few suggestions as to how best
write up these news stories for the
DAILY WORKER.
Every one on the editorial staff is
talking about the organization of our
army Of news gatherers into a we'll
trained staff of volunteer reporters.
Every one on the DAILY WORK
staff realizes the immediate necessity
of closer contact with our correspond
ents.
Send In Suggestions.
These articles are written to give
few suggestions whereby our volun-
teer reporters can become more valu-
able to- the paper. One of the most
distinctive features of the DAILY
WORKER is the exclusive news of
the class struggle sent in by our read
ers. The business Office has been
preaching the slogan, every reader a
subscriber" An equally important
slogan which, if followed out, will
materially increase the value of their
paper is every reader reporter"
We will be glad to help solve any
problem of our volunteer reporters.
There will be other articles later by
other members of the staff. Mean
while, don't fan to write us any sug-
gestions or question which comes to
mind concerning the building up of a
DAILY WORKER staff of volunteer
reporters.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-12

Il means be sent to the DAILY
WORKER.
If the event of interest to the mill
tant working class occurs outside of
Chicago, the volunteer reporter can
often clip the news out of his local
newspaper and send it in. The local
newspapers are, in fact, the most fire.
luent source of news in cities or
towns outside of Chicago. The DAILY
WORKER not long ago printed an
editorial based on a clipping sent by
a contributor from Miami, Florida.
Local News Wanted.
But the DAILY WORKER contri-
butors must select their clippings
carefully. Every week the DAILY
WORKER receives clippings that are
not the type which can be used. Only
local news which occurs in the vici-
nifty where the paper is printed should
be sent in. Washington dispatches,
syndicated articles such as Brisbanes
column, any news story printed under
an out-of-town date line, are almost
always valueless, even as material for
editorial comment, because the
DAILY WORKER has already re-
ceived such dispatches.
On the other hand, any local news
items which bear on the class strug-
gle are disable. Our correspondents
will find it advisable to get into the
habit of reading their local papers
carefully, clipping those local news
items which play up the workers
struggle for emancipation, and then
using these clippings as 'leads" to get
better, longer, and exclusive DAILY
WORKER news stories. Interviews
often over the phone, can be secured
with those persons and organizations
mentioned in the clippings. Announce
ments of future events, meetings,
demonstrations, etc., should be taken
from the local papers and jotted down
in a note book, and then covered"
by our correspondents.
Select Local Correspondents.
Workers Party branches in points
outside Chicago should make it their
business to see that a correspondent
covers every strike and every meet
ing of the Federation of Labor. The
reporter should take complete notes
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-12

of these meetings and from them
write up a concise news story.
To cover strikes, the correspondent
should be in the court room as much
as possible, if strikers are arrested,
taking down especially the testimony
of the defendants.
He should go to the picket line fire.
quently and notice whether there is
any police violence, any drunken po-
licemen, the number of the policemen,
scabs, and pickets. Arrangements
can be made with the union official in
charge of the strike headquarters, to
give the strike news over the phone
at a regular time every day.
1t is preferable for each town to
have its regular DAILY WORKER
correspondent, to train himself to
write the news as it will be printed
in the DAILY WORKER. When each
town has a regular correspondent, he
becomes known as the DAILY WORK
Err reporter. One of the most valu.
able assets of a reporter is the num-
Der of connections he makes with in
dividuals and organizations in touch
with the happenings of the town. The
first few times the correspondent COW
ers a meeting he will get only the
minutes of the action taken at the
meeting.
Build Up Connections.
But as the correspondent, thru reg
ular attendance at the meetings, for
instance union meetings, becomes bet
ter known, and talks to the different
union delegates, he will find that they
will be coming to him with union
news items which are often valuable.
All organizations, even liberal, la
Dor and radical, want publicity. AS the
organizations of the town become &C.
quainted with the DAILY WORKER
correspondent, they will give him the
publicity of their organizations. The
only difference between publicity and
news is the way it is written up.
DAILY WORKER correspondents
should expose themselves to the i'm
portant connections in their town.
Organizational publicity and union
news, especially where militant pro-
gressive principles are involved,
should be collected. The correspond
