The professor doesn't say whether he appnstn of this'
. method of democracy. He merely gives it as his observation'
of the current trend. j
Women's chilis and men's club?, loth local and national
in their scope, certainly are showing an increasing interest
iir public affairs. They appoint spec'"' committees to in
vestigate the winking of laws, the qualifications of candidates'
for public office, the liehavior of incumltcnU in public of-J
ficcs, and many other phases of community and national life.'
They make recommendations and pass resolutions and take
various sorts of action which sometimes seem to have bene
ficial results. Their most obvious and outstanding failure,1
however, is in the effort to get their membership into the
vgting Ixxiths on any election day. So far they have woiked
for that in vain.
, . On the educational side, such organization is excellent and
ought to be encmiragrd. Hut the safely mid piopiiety of
their efforts to influence public officials is open to question.
Without the backing of a large and intelligent vote, tln'ir
work offers too much opportunity fr !.,l,ying and for the
exercise of wrong influence as well as good.
