AGITAToRs-THEN AND NOW

The author of the following words
can hardly be accused of having an axe to
grind in the present situation, for he has
been dead nearly 80 years. Yet his words
ring peculiarly true today as we see ir-
responsible agitators fomenting riots,
strikes and property seizure. That man
wrote:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppression,
speculation and the pernicious influence of
accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly
against all banks and corporations and all
means by which small capitalists become
united in order to produce important and
beneficial results.
They carry on mad hostility against
all established institutions. They would
choke the fountain of industry and dry all
streams. In country of unbounded lib
erty, they clamor against oppression. In a
country where property is more evenly di-
vided than anywhere else, they rend the
air shouting agrarian doctrines. In coun-
try where wages of labor are high beyond
parallel. they would teach the laborer he
is but an oppressed slave.
what can such men want? What
do they mean? They can want nothing
but to enjoy the fruits of other mems
labor. They can mean nothing but dis
turbance and disorder, the diffusion Of
corrupt principles and the destruction Of
the moral sentiments and moral habits Of
society"
Yes, the man who wrote this has been
dead nearly 80 years. He was the great
Daniel Webster.

REAL AMERICAN MUSIC

What is real American music Is it
Gershwin or Grofe? Tin Pan Alley or
Torch. A recent survey among artists
and orchestra leaders brought forth some
surprising and conflicting answers, of
which we quote only few:
Ted Weems, who leads the band for
Fibber MCGEE and Molly's broadcast,
thinks swing music typifies the American
spirit more than any other kind, naming
tunes like "Stompin at the Savoy" and
'"Fhe Merry Go Round Breaks Down.
That's just Teds opinion, with which
many heartily disagree, including Eric
Sagerquist, musical director for the First
Nighter program, who says: Real Am
erican music is sweet music, like Grofe's
Grand Canyon Suite or Gershwin's 'Porgy
and Bess' score. Swing music may be all
right, but you won't hear much of it on
our program. If we stomp at the Savoy,
We'll do it in rubber sneakers, and if the
gently. In my opinion real American
music has lots of rhythm but no razz-ma-
tazz; it's melodic but not mournful; it's
sweet but not hot!''
But Captain Baker, star of the Holly
wood in Person program, disagrees with
both, and votes for mountain music, which
he calls sidelights ON life, whose songs are
fact, not fiction-folk music, pure and
simple.
Bruce Kamman, former cornet player
for John Wanamakers Boys band, now
playing the role of Professor Kaltenmeyer
in the Kaltenmeyer kindergarten program,
perhaps has the right answer
It's band music he said, 'The Stars
and Stripes Forever"

freedom. Hence Jefferson'S statement,
that government is best that governs
least" In view of this fact, the Con-
stitution builds great wall of pro-
lection against the invasion of the
rights of the individual by any of the
organized agencies of the govern
ment. The three agents of the govern
ment-the legislative, the executive
and the judicial-were given only
limited and specific powers, and
every official is required to bind him
self under a solemn oath before God
to confne his activities strictly to the
sphere fixed for him by the Consti-
tuition. and to do onlJ that which his
master. the Constitution. gives him
the authority to 10. They assumed
that representative Americans would
not violate the ssnctity of an oath.
The founders of our government
knew well the limitations of the
crowd. Speaking of direct democrat
cieS, Madison, the ''lay man." the au-
thor of the Constitution says, "Such
democracieS have ever been specta-
Giles of turbulence and contention;
have ever been found incompatible
with personal security, or the rights
of property; and have in general been
as short in their lives as they have
been violent ia DEATH" The crowd
doesn't think. The crowd is often more
influenced by passion and prejudice
than by reason The crowd seeks
immediate reward. in material
things and doesn't consider the de-
structive consequences that may fol-
low. The crowd is easily deceived by
demagogues who pose. as the defend
ers of the peoples rights. The crowd
is easily niisled to adopt destructive
policies under the promise Of big, inn
mediate rewards in material things.
The Constitution represents the
wise restrictions that the people put
upon themselves to protect their
fundamental human rights and their
permanent general welfare The Con-
stitutional limitations put on major
ity rule give the people time to "cool
off" before they act. They. give states
men time to expose the fallacies of
the demagogues and appeal from the
people drunk to the people sober and
in their right mind.
No effective industrial progress can
be made under the hazards of major
ity rule. Men will no. work and sac
rifice and save and develop great
industries when they know that the
crowd may at any time be led by a
demagogues to confiscate their prop
erty under the high sounding slogan
of sharing the wealth or making a
better distribution"

as Englishmen that forced them to a
revolution. 1t is of vital importance
TO keep in mind that men of Anglo
Saxon origin always defend the Con-
stitution against any agent of the
government whatever the cost to
themselves.
In setting up the new government
the one great problem was to find
some effective means of protecting
constitutional freedom against ambi-
tious execltVes.s hungry for power,
and against the hazards of majority
rule. The written constitution was
the solution they adopted.
All ir 41ienable. fundamental HUI

in the interest of changed conditions.
