Onnnse Convict Labor

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 20.--At a
meeting of organized industrial and
railroad workers, under the auspices
of the Missouri state federation Of
labor, the governor was asked to call
a conference to discuss the evils of
convict labor.
The workers declare that this sys-
tenn has developed into scandalous
proportions in Missouri, and they are
asking citizens to aid them in abolish
ing this wrong.

The startling news that the United
| States Is now worth 800 billions Of
dollars raises the question as 10 who
possesses this vast sum, or the bulk
Of it.
Not the labofing classes certainly.
The truth is that immense wealth is
| both owned and controlled by COM
| paratively few men, and probably a
majority of these are not natives Of
American soil.
Nevertheless II must be confessed
that this huge capital which in a large
measure Is working capital, provides
employment fer the men who are
classed as laborers.
| But there are other vast sums
which have not been working, and
men are out of employment because
much of the wealth is tied up in war
/ bonds.
What has become Of all the bonds
sold during the years 1917 and 1918?
Everybody bought them. But who
has them now? 1t would be interest
| ing to know how many Union men Of
the Twin Cities have a $50 or 500
bond. We know of no labofer
skilled or unskilled who now has one
! in his possession They bought and
sold at a sacrifice.
The truth is that many bond hold
ers are not producers. That they
feed upon what the farmer raises and
buy other necesSaries of life which
they do not aid in producing. They
are Retired"
The system Is perfectly lawful and
probably if you or | were each pos
sessed Of a double handful of these
bonds we would spend the winter IN
California and the Summer on Hud-
son Bay. What goes against the
grain, when wealth is possessed by
citizens who are not producers, Is that
life is too easy for them.
1t is alright to say that the happier
man is the one who works and earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
But that does not answer the question.
There are certain fixed standards 20
aim at and the possession of large
wealth is one of them. Labor is
elassed at the foot of the column.
Men usually labor because of neces-
sity. Men choose the higher calllngs
from CnOlce,
Money is Americas goal of success.
The rivalry is intense. 1t is get all
you can and can all you get" We
race after the dollar and the man VINO
cans the most of it has achieved the
ideal success. That is why we have
accumulated 800 billions while other
nations are in comparative poverty.
We're quite proud we have it here,
and wish that Europe would pay us
some more of that war debt.
But dewn deep in our hearts we
know that there is something Infinite
ly Of greater value to live for than
the mere accumulation of wealth.
1t is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of
Happiness. 1t is what we believe we
lose of these super-values by not
having wealth, that is at bottom of
the quarrel between Labor and Capt.
tai.
If ten men in the city of Cham
paign were possessed of sufficient
wealth to prevent laborer from OBJ
tanning a just wage and would exer-
else that power, Labor would lose
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of
Happiness. That condition is wide
spread 1t is at bottom of all wage

ert NJ. LaFollette would be a ire
mendous asset as a platform speaker
on social questions. There is where
he should spend his remaining days.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1925-01-23

1t has just come to light through
the tabulation of election returns that
Robert NJ. LaFollette received more
votes at the last general election than
Roosevelt polled when he ran on the
Bull Moose" ticket.
An exchange takes consolation in
this, but it is hard to see why it
should. The fact is that Women's
suffrage was not then admitted in a
majority of the states and the country
was not quite as large as now.
And, by the way, the election IS
nearly three months gone and who
cares what any of the candidates
BOILED? LaFollette, though, is still
very much alive. Like William Jeu-
ming Bryan he will yet be a prominent
figure in national or social affairs.

What Is Democracy?
By DIR. EDWIN A. ALDER MAN,
President the University of Virginia.

No word is so generally used and
so little understood as the word
democracy In fact, what a man
thinks democracy is becomes uncon-
sciously to him sort of definition Of
his own character. Some people
think that democracy consists of not
wearing evening clothes; others that
going to dollar dinner gives evi-
dence of the democratic faith, and
still others that democracy means
equality, not only of opportunity, but
of intelligence and character and
still others that the term is descrip-
tive of the mediocre mind and the
bourgeois spirit.
Democracy is not any of that
However, ] am not presuming to give
here a valid definition of this great
human faith. 1 doubt if there is a
perfect definition. One can search
through English dictionaries for 500
years back and fail to find good
definition of democracy. Definitions
of any sort are difficult 1t is said
that there are only three in the BIZ
BILE. Alexander Hamilton, it is as
serted, in an impassioned manner,
once called democracy "a vast beast"
Talleyrand called it IAN arfstocracy
of blackguards, and Bernard Shaw,
in characteristic phrase, declared it
to be an excuse for bad govern
ment."
Strange to say. the Latin races,
led by Mazzini, and Pasteur, have
given us the best definitions Pas
is that order in the state in which
every man (and now he would say
every woman as weID has a chance
to make the most of himself, and
knows that he has the chance"
owe great deal to that simple, lucid
statement. 1t has steadied my faith
in the democratic theory of society
during long life, and at some mo-
ments when it sorely needed but
tressing.
Thomas Jefferson, never so far as I
know, concretely defined il, because
he was too busy living it, but out of
his philosophy [ may dare to try to
phrase his definition. You can trust
men If you will train them" comes
nearer to his thought chan any form
OF words 1 can PVT together.
Education and democracy are in
terdependent forces. The failure of
one means the failure of both. The
most daring and spiritual enterprise
ever undertaken by mankind is the
undertaking of the American people,
by public taxation, to give meas
ure of education to every human be-
ing born In the republic. Its splen-
dor and daring derives from the fact
that 1t is the assertion of democ-
racy's purpose to live and grow, and
If the energy of democracy to carry
forward so great a program should
ever fail, either in it's volume or it's
validity and direction, there will be
an end of the democratic era.

New Books at the Public Library

April 1926 has been designated as
National Garden week. BY way of OBJ
serving it the Public Library this
week calls attention to it's excellent
collection of garden material adapted
to help both experienced and ineXpe-
rienced gardeners who are handi-
capped by lack of space and time. The
collection is useful to growers of both
flowers and vegetables and includes
bulletins of the Department of Agri-
culture, magazines devoted to garden
ing and books on all the various
phases of planting. A good general
reference book covering the whole
field of gardening is Prof. Bailey's
Manual of Gardening" RI-B153m),
and for the inexperienced gardener
Stout's Gardening" CRIA-St78g) will
be found useful.
