Is Democracy
"BOOb Rule %


A western editor with more candor
than regard for popularity, discussed
the matter of popular government and
reaches the conclusion that democratic
dictum, or rule, of the people, results
in boob rule" There is no greater
fallacy, he says, than to assume that
popular judgment and opinion is al
ways right. More often than not, an
intelligent minority which has given
real thought and sincere study to a
problem at hand is right though over
ruled and the majority opinion is
wrong, though dominant.
Whether or not this is true and
whether or not popular government is
"boob rule" may be made matter OF
argument In the long run the peo-
pie reach a sound conclusion because
in the mass and in the main they
think sincerely where a question OF
personal gain or interest is not in
volved..
On the other hand it may be said
that a general opinion on subject is
of little value because it is reached
without study of the premises. Peo-
pie Jump to conclusions and are gov
erned by their prejudices instead of
their reason. Hence the street view
of the matter is not to be relied on
for its sureness. Every newspaper
man knows that.
Popular government to be success
rests upon one thing. In this country
every man is a sovereign. To merit
privileges accorded us by the constitu-
ton we must be equally keen about
our responsibilities. Because the

American people in general are strong
in demanding their privileges and
lame in living up to their responsible
ties democracy as form of govern
ment is breaking down all over the
land.
The flag, the government, the coun-
try are nowhere else but in the heart
of each citizen. IF each recognizes
that upon his individual conception of
citizenship and the purity of his ideals
the whole structure rests-democracy
begins to function. One hundred mil
lion citizens, each imbued with demo-
cratic principles and each determined
to carry them out become in the mass
a real democracy. Otherwise it plain
ly is, as the western editor says, Boob
Rule"

Should the Oil
Buy Be ReScinded!

Several developments convince
THE HERALD that the purchase OF
oil pumping machinery for Klondike
should be held up, not for rejection
but to further consider the matter.
Will the thousand dollars set forth
as a down payment fully cover the
city's first cost and all else but ex-
fractions from the coal budget? Will
there be additional equipment for Oil
conveyance, oil tanks, etc., which Will
run into considerable money?
Has the matter of economical pro-
duction under long time use, say ten
years, been looked into?
Will it be necessary to carry bank
ed fire in the steam plant to provide
extra pressure in case of fire hazard
Does the Interstate cOmpany's offer
to install pumping system at their
expense, give the city bill of sale, in
stall and maintain power line and
pump the city water for &c thousand
gallons present more attractive feat
ures to the city when we consider
that Lancaster makes no investment
under this plan?
Matters of this kind are grave and
not to be lightly considered The
present administration will pass, as
previous others have passed and fu-
ture city councils will be left to wres-
tie with problems they inherited from
this administration. 1t is well to go
slow and consider all points.
THE HERALD does not condemn the
action of the council, but we would
rather be safe than sorry.
