the democracy all authority IS
vested in the people and remains
vested in the people.
The people may, when the de-
mocracy is small enough, exercise
their authority directly by COM
ING together. discussing their
problems. and voting on the QucS-
tionS. Thus small community
may be operated as Il pure de
mocracy. Or the people may, as
they must if their number IS SUI
ficicntly large, elect their repre-
scntativcs and delegate to them
authority to acJ. But please note
that in a democracy such dclcgat-
cd authority is always temporary.
1t is not permanent. 1t i given
for only specified lcngth Of
time. And at the expiration of
that time the people again elect
their representatives. Such pro-
ccdurc inswcS that no one can
gain permanent control of the
people. That is the foundatlonal
principle of democracy.

conditions, maintain position of isolation.
1t cannot withdraw into its shell, in time
of peace or war, untouched by the course
of events in other quarters of the world.
This is startling fact in connection
with present world conditions and the way
in which they are shaping and it leads
logically and Enthusiastically to the conclu-
sion of the President, that if international
conditions become much worse, if lawless
nations are permitted to have their way
and run their course, the time is not far
distant when this country will become di-
rectly involved.
Who believes that Japan, permitted to
run amuck and prosecute a successful
campaign of international highway rob-
berry in the Orient, by taking ALL or so
much as the Japs may determine to seize,
of China, may not in few years feel
strong enough to attack the United States
even bringing war to the shores of this
continent?
If a lawleSs individual is allowed to have
his way, we know that certain results are
bound to follow We have tens of thou
sands of examples of the results in this
country. We have ample evidence of the
results of mreStrained community lawleSS-
ness and of lawlesSness on nationwide
scale getting out of control
International lawlesSneSS is just as GER
tain, if uncontrolled, for a time, to become
uncomfortable at last.
The gangSter nations of the earth must
be suppressed. There can be no world
peace, nothing approaching cessation OF
war, no assurance of safety for peoples
of integrity and righteous principles and
aims, unless definite and effective steps are
taken to end the careers of such interna-
tional pirates as Japan and Italy; and to
bring to an end wars of the character OF
that being waged in Spain.
Such conditions as exist in the Orient
and in Europe cannot continue indefinitely
without involving nations as peace-loving
and as determined to maintain peace, as
is the United States. And if they are al
lowed to continue, the time will speedily
come when gangster nations will under
take to seize and control the entire world.
This vast, wealthy and comparatively
prosperous country is a shining mark
for the worlds international highwaymen.
President Roosevelt sees that fact and
warns his countrymen.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
POST-MORTEMS

At least part of this states shameful and CORY
automobile accident record may be charged to
drivers whose licenses to operate cars have been
suspended How do we know? Because one of the
perfunctory aftermaths of a wreck is for the par
Elephants to exhibit their license to Investigating
officers, and when they don't have any, the lack
lust naturally will out and sometimes gets in the
newspapers.
Two recent exhibits will suffice. Near Wilson,
Jimmy EdmondSon, a young man whose privilege
of operating a car had been taken away from him

was killed in wreck which also claimed another
life and which occurred a few days after the rcVo-
cation In Monday mornings catalogue of Sunday
casualties was the injury of Pungo citizen by a
car occupied by H. r. Floyd. of Rocky Mount,
whose license was taken away from him some time
last year. also for drunken driving.
IL is beside the point of this piece to 90 into
Floyd's contention that he was not the driver OF
the car; that it was being handled by his negro
chauffeur who ran from the scene Of the wreck
soon after it occurred. Nor in the other case, we
think would the state get very far in condemning
and prosecuting a dead man. But In each instance
there should go with the facts very important sell
searching inquiries: Why is it that we usually DO
not find that a person has no right to operate an
automobile until after the damage has already been
done? Is the wreck scene the only place where a
drivers qualifications examined?
No, we think no would claim that by keep
ing those whose licenses are suspended off the
highways would we solve the whole problem of road
safety the implications of which stars at us daily
from the front page and from mortality statistics
But then any decline in casualty list is worth
that much and too, we take it that our drivers
license law should have some significance in en-
forcement in this day of wireless-equipped patrol
and other heraded advancement.-Th Greensboro
