The Spread of Democracy
Over thi* World Has Beffun
\ —II C annot Be Checked
I-
- Democracy is a most contagious thing.
Its groms can fly across oceans and
continents and settle In most unexpected
pl ttces in China, for instance, much to
the chagrin of the Japanese, who are a
military, warlike people.
Again, in India, where it is promptly
smothered to a smouldering tire.
In Russia, where persecuted for de
cade. 1 ' under th*' name of nihilism, it
now bids fair to rise triumph int.
In Spain, which we thought half
asleep and, therefore:, .'Uppost 1 to be im
mune for the present.
And now, to our surprise, in Sou f '
Africa, whore, according to press
port—which s -mi h<> v got by t!
“the house of assembly, by a Vote of TJ
to 31. passed a resolution. June 20, con
demning republican (or democratic) I
propaganda being carried on in South
Africa, the movement being fostered * y
the nationalists among the Dutch tann
ers.”
Naturally the movement might he ex
pected to be fostered by just these.
It is always nationalists or people un
der either a despotic or alien rule who
stir things up and make a fecund culture
bed upon which these germs may settle
and multiply.
What we might say about the Dutch
farmers of the Transvaal and their na
tionalism may better, perhaps, i>e left
unsaid at the present time. There are
plenty of Englishmen who look upon the
Boer war in the same light as do the
majority of the Americans; in fact,
Lloyd-George was one of its bitterest op
ponents.
But from those days to these is a :ong
step.
We are now fighting, with Britain as
an ally, for democracy, and perhaps we
had better wait for all the facts while
•forgetting that which is in the past and
no part of the present.
Democracy cannot be stamped out.
It gains strength as it progresses and.
instead of becoming exhausted, the pa*
tient only sloughs off his old dried up
skin of tradition and ignorance and
emerges glowing with health and the
hope of happiness.
Given REAL democracy, let the people
be TRULY represented; throw into the
discard any lurking superstitions regard
ing royalty, the divine right of kings;
the inability of the people to govern
themselves, and see where we will arri\>
in another hundred years.
King Constantine of Greece declared
to Venizelos that he was not respon
sible to his people but only to God. and
Constantine, no longer king, is now seek
ing refuge in democratic Switzerland,
where even kings are safe.
The Herded Bums At
the Voting Booth Door.
Or a Woman—a Mother?
She came up the steps to the editorial
rooms of The Times.
She did not come up spryly, because
her years (their exact number perhaps
carefully concealed) would not permit
of sprightliness.
Her expression was troubled. Some
thing of much moment was on her mind.
She had come to ask the editor to help
her out.
“My son,” said she. “claims that he is
above the high conscription age and
failed to register for the draft.
“"’kiln 1 am not sure, I believe that he
is misiuKt a.
“We lived for a number of years, at
the time of my boy’s birth, out in the
country, and 1 do not. recall that a cer
tificate of birth was ever filed. Then our
house burned and «-v s yth- >.• id \ •>
eluding the family bible.
“My boy says he will be P>2 next month,
but 1 am afraid he is mistaken and that
he will not be 31 until then.
“He is unmarried, a perfect tvpo of
manhood and in every w;.y eligible far
service unless I am mistaken in hi; age.
“If he belongs with th troop* I ware
him there.
“I do not want ANOTHER MOTHER’S
SON.FIGHTING MY BATTLE AND MY
SON'S BATTLE IF MY SON SHOULD
BE AT THE FRONT.
“I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE I’ART
OF BROTHERS, IN BEHALF OI \i >.
MOTHERS, TO GIVE THEIR SONS
CHEERFULLY. THE MORE SONS
GIVEN AND THE MORE QI K KL\
THEV ARE GIVEN, THE MORE OF
THEM WILL RETURN AND THE
■SOONER THEY WILL RETURN.”
And it occurred to us:
That there was a whole lot more truth

subject, that she was seeking to keep her
son from GOINC« to war.
He contributes to her support, we
learned from her, and we di iik't know
whether to blame her if that was what
she was trying to do.
She. wa> willing t<» make the sacrifice.
■* *
And that is vs at we all real. Simon
pure patriotism.
From one whose interest has been
questioned i
From one whose competency has been
questioned;
Kr<-m one who has l>ecn told by men
that HER place is in the home.
From one denied for a lifetime, by
men, the privilege of a vote.
Men monopolize this vote pretty much

than they did at one time.
By hogging the voting booths they
have crowded out one woman’s vote we
Know of that would have represented an
interest which would have otTset most

f<»r which our *’for*mon-oniy ’ elections
have been notorious.
What do you think about this

Don't you think she would know what
to do with her vote if she had one?
The Attitude of Our
Congress Is An Insult
To the American Flag
The country must—and we believe it
will—put its shoulder to the wheel with
Herbert C. Hoover and co-operate with
him to the fullest extent for food con
trol.
Vital as was the success of the Lib
erty loan; necessary a- is the fund for
the Red Cross; indispensable as are an
army and a navy and men and puns and
powder and shells, the food issue must
present itself to everybody as most im
portant of all.
The conservation of food is the con
servation of strength, and by the way we
mass this food play will our strength be
judged by the enemy country looking for
the first sign from us that we are unwill
ing to sacrifice and endure hardship for
the cause in whose interest we have un
furled the flag and unsheathed the
sword.
In Hoover’s hands, the food control
feature of our forces is given to a gen
eral of proved judgment, resourcefulness
and energy.
He is hy no means lacking in courage.
In the face of President Wilson’s most
excellent choice for the head of this de
partment :
In the face of the exigency, which is
understood by the urchins in our schools;
In the face of the willingness with
which the people of the country stand
ready to do their part.
The attitude and the opposition in
congress to the president and to the
nation amount to no le<~ than an outrage.
The most charitable view we can enter
tain is that individuals in congress are
putting their ambitions before country
in the perpetration of an affront to the
American flag little removed from that
offered by the -inking of the Lusitania.
. The victim of the food robbers, too,
are women and children.
From Another Point of View
