Aristocratic Democracy
BY DIR CHARLES sTETzLE

The best government is ariStocratc :
the philosopher Aristotle said a couple OF
thousand years ago. Thomas jefferson, a
great American democrat, said the same
thing. But neither Aristotle nor Jcffer-
son meant that the best government should
be in the hands Of those whom we common
~ call "aristocrats' today.
The word aristocratic is derived from
the Greek word "aristos." which means the
best The word democracy is derived from
the Greek word demos, meaning the
people
Most OF us will agree that government
should be in the hands of the best people :
a combination OF aristocracy and democracy.
This means that the best government is that
which is controlled by an aristocracy drawn
from all classes. who are given leadership
because of their character. their virtue their
ability to govern.
This shuts out the mob which possesses
none Of these requirements. 1t shuts out
the gangs which have secured control in
many Of our cities. 1t shuts out the poll
ticians who stoop to low-down tricks or
selfish practices. 1t shuts out those who
merely possess wealth. II shuts out those
who have acquired economic power but who
use il to exploit the workers. 1t shuts out
SocalIcd Labor leaders who are dominated
by the class spirit.
In the last analysis the government
should be in the hands of an aristocracy.
composed of all classes, regardless OF race,
creed color or economic condition These
are the people who should constitute the
rulers in democracy which is truly aristo-
cratic
This would be an ariStocracy Of brains,
of virtue. of character These qualities are
Just as prevalent among the workers of
America as they are among the wealthy,
the social leaders the industralists. those
who now sit in the seats of those whom we
regard as the mighty
Our country is safe because our Consti-
tuition is based upon the principles Just de-
scribed. There can be no better form of
government. The real aristocrat will de-
fcnd this government against every attack
that is made upon it. If the time should
ever come when our form of government
should fail it will be only because we have
lost our character, our virtue, our courage
to maintain it.
No outside force can take these from
us. II will be only as we become flabby
or Indifferent. or cowardIy that this may
happen. In other words. only as We lose
our aristocratic' spirit This is the spirit
which dominates the common" people OF
America And because they outnumbcr
all others, We may rest assured that oul
| democracy is sale.

No Relief?

The relief situation in Allegany county
should call for the strict attention of all
people who have social conscience
1t should call for the attention of those
theorists and newspapers which call fer the
local administration OF relief.
1t should call for the study OF the men
and women who are to represent Allegany
county in the Maryland General Assembly.
The Federal Government has stepped
out OF the relief picture entirely. The Mary
land state direct relief funds completely
ended last summer after many months Of
pinching. scraping and evasion.
The counties and the city of Baltimore
had been given legislative power to borrow
for relief when necessary
The allotment of State relief funds to
the counties was based on population and
not on need. The whole arrangement was
an example of what happens when "A group
Of uninteligent legislators are allowed to
ignore social planning and advice from social
agencies
Of course it represented a millennium for
the reactionarieS. the press and those en-
pIoIers who want to get starvation labor
al starvation wage rates
What is happening in Allegany county?
DO YOU imagine that needy employ
able persons who are out of work with no
possibility Of getting on WPA whose rolls
are coSed), can get relief? Just try and get
It, lust 20 down to the County Welfare
Board office. Just listen to the varied eX-
cuscs and regrets AS to why no aid can be
given.
Allcgany county has got the relief prob
Iem right here in its own lap. 1t is right
where the local Republican paper has been
hollering for it to be placed
Now that it Is here can either the Ale
eany County Welfare Board or the local
paper to which we make reference give the
public any indication of what its proposals
are in regards to meeting the needs of thi,
mounting number of needy unemployed
families?
Here is a grand laboratory for the swivel
chair editors.
Dare they give the public the data of
their eNpermcnts-or will they admit to
their half-bakcd theories?
If they will do neither it might at least
be the right thing to stop hollerng more
nonsense about local relief in their editorial
columns.

-"and your squirrel coat and mhff
She saw you again at dinner in the
orchid sequin and the wrap with the
dyed ostrich feathers. If it comes to
showdown, there's no preston a.
bout witnesses, Carol"
Ensued pause.
Discretion was the better part of
valor. Carol admitted to herself that
she should have thought Of that before
her trip to Atlantic City, as most GER
tainly she was to think of it now,
when caught red-handed.
"It's silly of us quarreling over
nothing" she said shortly, "when all
I want to do is get Claire out of the
mess she's landed herself in, over
ring. Pm sure hope this'll be a les
son to her" She marched back to the
living room, Ann following close be-
hind her, and up to Mr.. Beacon. "It
won't be necessary for me to go down
with you to your company, for what
you've been told is perfectly correct.
The ring was lost a couple of weeks
ago, and Claire worried to death about
it, and then she found it and gave it
back to me, not telling me it had been
missing, and meaning to notify you,
and then, ]. suppose, forgetting about
1T. So the claims dropped"
"And now, Mr.. Beacon" Ann said
quickly, the instant Carol had deliv-
cred her say-so, perhaps you'll accept
my offer of lift in the taxi I'm TAX
ing downtown?"
The offices of the International In
surance Company were miles away
from her department-store upon the
Avenue, but Ann intended sticking by
the Investigator so that the two of
them might face the Claim Adjuster
together, tell the same story that
would lift the stigma from her sister.
There was no time left that day to
return to the store.
AIMS interview in the Adjustment
Claims department of the insurance
company took linger than expected,
not that time mattered when it came
to the clearing of her sisters reputa-
tion devoted to her family as Ann
was, she would have spent days and
weeks, if necessary, in defense of the
insanely reckless Claire.
Terrible as the incident had been,
throwing highlight on Claire's char
acter and obvious lack of scruples,
Ann realized that out of evil, three
fold good would doubtless spring.

pulse hammering in a divine ecstasy,
she had yielded to the glory and Won
der of his arms, his kisses.
"It's amazing, but it's true! He
means It'll" her heart sang in her
breast.
Words seemed superfluous between
them. This physical urge for close
ness, this breaking down of barriers
between them, spoke volumes. Hadn't
she dreamed of it for months past?
Finally, it was he who had drawn
back. But not for an instant had he
taken his eyes from her as she sat
beside him in a sweet dream. Then it
had all begun over again-his tender
ness, his kisses. She could have
swooned from the sheer rapture of it.
Impossible to connect him with the
stern, business-like executive she had
first known! The streak of hardness,
of scepticism in him, CLEANED from the
difficult places in life, had vanished.

er, finding her utterly desirable and
lovely, his every caress telling her so.
He was her man.
How we'll he had hidden his feeling
for her during the long Winter months
at the store! But Spring was coming.
Spring with Paul in Paris, enchanted
city? Already, down by the Battery,
there was the faintest blurring on the
trees in the public square, as if a
brush dipped in green paint had been
gently brushed on the branches-more
promise than reality-a vague, vernal
budding.
Life was like that. The waiting.
The hope. After long season, the sap
stirring, rising. Then the budding.
More waiting. The Towering.
Love was like that! thought Ann.
"Afraid you're falling in love?"
she had whispered to Paul in the taxi,
cam I so terrible?"
What he had said had sent the blood
in delicious waves to her ten fingers,
her ten toes.

Claire's eyes had been abruptly open
ed to Carol Ditmar's falseness, to the
knowledge that their friendship had
been built upon the quicksands of a
mutual liking for gambling, and that
lacking AIMS championing-Carol
would have seen Claire go under with
out exerting herself to avert the dis
aster. Claire could never again re-
gard Carol as true friend.
Secondly there was the exposure of
Captain de Freyn. His trip with Carol
to Atlantic City must, to Claire's eyes,
put the final seal upon him of under
handedness, of complete lack of prin-
ciple.
Thirdly, and most important, to
AIMS mind-Claire's main awakening
lay in her narrow escape firm justice.
BY the barest margin had she avoid
ed trip to the district attorney. It
would give her food for reflecting-
swerve her back into the right path.
Getting something for nothing had
been hobby of hers for long time,
but now it had been borne in upon
her forcibly that straight dealings
paid, and crooked ones didn't. The
old-fashioned saws were right. You
reap as you sowed. She'd been caught
in the whirlwind.
But once the strain was over in the
Claims Department, and Ann, her mis-
sion finished, had emerged into the
clear, cold sunshine of the late March
afternoon, her thoughts reverted hap
PLY to Paul Bradley, to his magic
kisses in the taxicab that had swung
them around the park in the moonlight
of the wee, small hours of Sunday
morning-less than two days ago, that
was. And the most wonderful thing
that had ever happened to her!
With sure, light steps she turned
from Wall Street into Broad Street,
the wide sweep of the Battery draw
ing her irresistibly.
Ships rode at anchor. water craft
of all kinds skinned over the waves.
There was the tarry smell of shipping,
the clean tang of a breeze blowing
over salty water, giving one a sense
of wanderlust, of adventuring to far
countries. Ann cast care behind her,
shifting the ozone, her skirt whipping
about her ankles as the wind eddied
about her. It was gloriously stimu-
1ating.
Over and over she repeated to her
self Paul's words on that never-to-be-
forgotten ride.
"I'm afraid Pm falling in love with
you, Ann" he had whispered, kissing
her-and then he'd kissed her agair
and again.
She hadn't resisted. With every

No need for words. She had turn
ed her pretty face to him, as a sun
flower towards the sun, and he had
kissed her as thoungh nothing in the
world could ever separate them.
Came the eternal woman's question:
"Why do you love me, Paul? I want
to hear"
"For something more than the al
lure of you-something above and
beyond physical attraction, important
and necessary as that is" came his
earnest answer.

ONCE Upon MARCH oath


Letters written by Philip Dormer
Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chestertleld' 10
his son have become classic guides IN
the art of being a perfect gentleman
and Chesterfieldian conduct is by
word. But that son was the offspring
of a. lady to whom the Earl wasn't
married.
The Earl died 165 years ago today
at the age of 70 with a jest upon his
lips. Informed by physicians that he
was dying by inches, Chesterfield
thanked Heaven that he was not so
tall by a foot as Sir Thomas Robin
son."
Almost every page of these letters
(Which were not written for publica-
tion) contains some observation or
precept worth remembering. Some
of them:
do not tell all, but do not tell a
lie. The greatest fools are the great
est liars For my part, judge of the
truth of a man by the extent of his
intellect
knowledge may give weight, but
accomplishments only give lustre;
and many more persons see, than
weigh"
Most arts require long study and
application; but the most useful OF
that of pleasing, requires only the
desire
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll
"Style is the dress of thoughts"
Never do but one thing at time,
and never put off until tomorrow
what you can do today"
With all the classic advice given
him, Chesterfield's son turned out to
be an inconsequential nobody!
