such thing the morning after"
At last thought to myself, understand the glori-
out feeling of living under dictatorship which nobody
opposes. You extirpae The front part of the brain
which is the seat OF foresight and therefore of critical
opposition, and what is left of your mind exuberan
and free from care. The result always impresses the
superficial observer especially if he from coun-
try where men are still cold sober and worried
HOWEVER, the argument for retaining this frontal
portion of the brain is strong one For history
to show concusively that the casual dictator has
disadvantages The chief of them is that he can not
perpetuate his line During the Italian Renaissance

PORKER PRICES

VeaIerS Hold Stationary at
$3.50 Down; Lambs
UNCHANGED.

Porker prices fluctuated in a mar
row range at the Union Stockyards
this morning, with practically all
classes around steady at yesterdays
average. Initial trade developed
slowly and demand was fairly
strong.
The bulk, $50 to $50 pounds, sold
at $3.50 to $3.50. Early top held at
$685.. Weighty kinds, $50 pounds
and upward, were salable at $685. to
$685., while butcher classes weigh
ing 100 to 100 pounds brought $3.1O
to $3.50. Light slaughter pigs scaling
100 to 100 pounds sold at $2.10 to
$2.85. Receipts were estimated at
5000. Holdovers, POP.
Beef steers were strong to around
IS cents higher than previous fig
ures. Initial action was displayed
in the majority of all classes. Sew
eral loads held at Sc to ST, while
plain killers and heavies brought
So so to SIS. She stock showed little
change. Receipts were 1000. Veal
ers continued unchanged, selling at
$3.50 down. Receipts numbered
500.
With practically no early action
displayed in the lamb market, prices
remained stationary. Few small lots
held steady at SO down. Other
classes were inactive. Receipts were
500.
Few sales on hogs at Chicago

guage and had Europe found a
bond of union. The American re-
public is not merely federal in its
constitutional form; it is federal
in its social and economic struc.
ture.
Once that is understood the true
character of American parties is
apparent. They are loose fedora
tons of regional parties. The real
issues are made in the local
parties, but when these local parties
federate for national purposes.
principles and issues have to be
compromised to form a workable
union. There is such a thing as
New England Republicanism which
corresponds to the European notion
of parties.
There is such thing as a De-
mocracy of the cotton states. There
is such thing as a Democracy of
the great cities. There is such a
thing as Republicanism of the
prairies. But however much key
note orators proclaim the national
principles of the Republican party
or of the Democratic, there are not
any except temporarily for their
purposes of forming a working
union among the regional COM
ponentS.
ENAR from being a bad thing, this
Il tendency of national parties to
stulify local issues is in the long
view very good thing. 1t accom-
plishes what the authors of the
Constitution saw to be necessary,
namely, the subduing of partisan
fury and factionalism, though it
accomplishes it in a way that they
did not foresee. They tried to re
fine the will of the people" by the
electoral college and various other
devices. Our unprincipled parties
somehow achieve the same results.
They confine intranSigent politics
which so often has destroyed states,
within regions where it can do no
irreparable damage, and they COM
pei those who govern the nation to
work through compromise and con-
Citation. And the result, though it
is frequently inglorious and often
sordid enough in all conscience, is
almost certainly humanity more toll
cradle and more likely to endure,
than government by the opinion
ated and the omnipotent.

hlghest salarled position in the municipal government to
winch a Negro Of this country has ever been appointed. It
might ne mentioned here, however, that Ferdinand O..
Morton OF the same city holds a position which paws sew
en- thousand dollars a year as a member of the Civil Ser
vice commission. These are worthwhile appointments
ana they lend hope and courage to Negro voters in MANY
part OF the country. 1t may be noted that Mortin was an
pointed by New York Democrats, while Delaney gets his
appointment through Mayor La Guardia who holds his
olIlce by election on what was called a Fusion ticket. II
oelng remembered that Mr.. La Guardia before he became
mayor was a representative in Congress from New York
City, beng elected on the Republican ticket.
incidentally, We may state in this connection that
there are two Negro judges in New York elected to twel-
We year terms at twelve thousand dollars a wear. We call
special attention to these appointments that the NEGROES
IN other sections Of the country may take notice Of these
Things and think. Then, too, public officials in other cities
ana states should take note of what is going on in New
York with reference to Negro voters and begin to pre-
pare for what will be expected by Negroes in the future.
