The main dlfferen1e

The main differenHe between democratic and autocrAaic rule, as We see 1t, IS that if political con- ditions get rotten enough in q democracy-and perhaps they would need to become terribly rotten to arouse indignation-it is possible for the electorate to change the bosses, or elect people who are not yet bosses.
 In an undemocratic country, one operated by dictator, however, the electorate has no such opportunity short of a revolution.
 The censorship Of public informa- ton and dictatorship propaganda which flows like mountain streams in an autocratic country can scarce ly be compared with the freedom of criticism which exists in a demo- cratic country. Let somebody in Italy for instance, criticise Nlussolini; let some public spirited editor in that land, for instance. criticise the ad- ministration of public affairs. In the good old L. s. A.. however, we are not backward in the least in criticis- ing the government. the president, or any other statesmen or politicians. That's our long suit in fact.
 The American press handles pub He questions In an open and free manner. How does the press in an autocracy-ridden country handle public questions?
 1 Fifty per cent of the people may be disinclined to vote at elections, but believe you us. Mir, Dictator, 100 per cent are discussing, free and un- i disturbed, when they feel like it which is quite often.
 We have political machines, Of course; but we can put them out of business if they interfere with our enjoyment Of democracy and demo- cratic institutions. We tolerate our type Of political machines because we are somewhat indifferent, and i that undoubtedly is a grave fault; but we know We can knock them cold if we really felt like it.

\ JNDANIENTALIST DEFEAT

Ontario is not TenDessee in more ways than one. The fundamentalist pastor of the leading fundamentalist church in Toronto has been barred from the Baptist Union of Ontario and Quebec by vote of 532 to 217.
 The Rev. T. T. Shields has right to his fundamentalism, but when as a member Of the board of governors of McMaster university he opposed the appointment of a professor on the grounds the professor was not orthodox, he was plainly attempting 10 force his mode of thought into the teachings of the university. Naturally, he forced his literal doc trines into his own church, the Jar wis street Baptist church, said to be one Of the largest in Toronto, and created so much dissension that a part of his flock seeded and estab- lished a modernistic church of their own,
 For two years, it appears, this apostle of fundamentallsm has fought the appointment Of Professor L. T. Marshall as a teacher of the ology at McMaster university. In an j address before the convention that busted him he declared that Prof. Marshall had rejected the doctrine of the atonement.
 1 This religious furore in Canada comes just when Dr. Albert C. Dief- fenbach, editor Of The Christian Register, has nurtured the lime light through the issuance of his book, Religious Liberty-The Great American Illusion" In this volume the editor says that the funda- mentalists have practically seized political power, and that the mod ornist spokesnen who two years ago resisted vigorously have today with out exception given up the fight. { Lawyers like to cite that part of Article VI of the Constitution which says, No religious test shall he re quired as a qualification to any of fee or public trust under the United States" Dr. Dieffenhach quotes. *s* Any intelligent person knows that in actual affairs Article VI is violat- ed in every part of the country. A mans religion does help or hurt him. especially if he professes a minority belief. On indicating his receptive attitude to the presidency, Govern or Alfred E. Smith Of New York quickly learned the mind Of large part of the country. William II. Taft lost thousands Of votes because of his religious affi1iation. Any Jew ish candidate for office will bear lively witness that religion counts
 Fear of losing their jobs causes modernist ministers 10 refrain from stating their views in public. the editor says. The roll of lost lead ers' includes Dr. Emery Fosdick, Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, president Of Union Theological Seminary; Dean Charles R. Brown, Of Yale Divinity school; Dr. J. Fort Newton; Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell; William L. Sperry, dean of Harvard Divinity school,
 None of the foregoing Host lead CTS" it will have been noted are residents Of Canada. where religious activities per square mile seems to be unoqualled elsewhere on earth. By this time Dr. Dicffenbach must realize that fundamentalism cannot win all the time.

 Democracy arose in America chiefly out Of free land. You had in- diyidual economic independence. in dividual economic liberty, individual economic equality and upon that economic independence, liberty and equality there arose po- littcal liberty, independence and equality as upon a sound basis. There were also other factors. '@** There were the skilled trades that gave workmen the sense of unique ness. Scientific management had not arisen to show three fools how 10 do the work of one skilled man,
 This blighting and bitherng at- tack upon democracy was answered by Bertrand Russell, scholar, of England. His main thesis was this:
 Are the democratic countries of the world on the whole, taking tn" population right through, happier? :? Are they on the whole more inte)li- gent, are they on the whole more progressive, than the undemoCratic countries?
