There are three forms of govern

Webster's dictionary definitions
are as follows: Republic A state
in which the sovereign power re

tives elected by them.
Democracy Government by the
people; a form of government in
which the supreme power Is retained

Tho Portland Oregonlan is not Im-

great pity that a great paper llko thu
Oregonlan cannot report political
news fairly and rise above narrow
Prom these definitions it Is evi
dent that the term democracy as
used in the partisan sense of today
is nonsense, and that we have neith
er a republic nor a democracy in
this country. And yet we are sol
emly told that this is a government
ot the people, for the people and by
the people.
We have heard this fiction so long
and so many times that most of us
have come to believe It. But noth
ing is further from the truth. My
own eyes were opened to this fact
by reading a masterly address by
Frederic Upham Adams on the ori
gin, formation and history of the
United States.
We have been taught to reverence
tho constitution as the embodiment
of all human wisdom, past, nresent
ana iuture. What aro the facts?
The convention . which framed tho
constitution of the United States in
1787, and under which wo are now
living was composed of business men,
money monopolists and monarchists.
the sessions, which covered a period
or live months time, wore held be
hind closed or locked doors. The
meetings wore conducted in secret,
and not one word of the debates In
mat, convention was permitted to-
reach the people; and after tho con
vention adjourned tho very record of
meir proceedings was suppressed for
nearly two generations. Tho record
was opened by act of congress In
1839 for tho first time. I will let Mr.
Adams tell the story. Ho says:
"I have a proper respect for tho
forefathers who drafted tho const!.
stution. I do not underestimate th,.
magnitude of tho task which cm..
fronted them, nor belittle the dim.
cultles which they had to overcome.
But thoy had no more Idea of govern-1
ing mo people of this generation
than wo have of writing resolutions
to govern tho people of n thousand
years hence. What is more, thoy
sani so, ami it tonus part of tho ro
cord.
They novor dreamed of founding a
nomocracy, or a- government of, by
and for the people. They did not
think tho people wore capable of
self-government, nnd thoy spent flvo
months In designing a document
which would make tho rule of the
peoplo nothing short of ft mlrnnln
The constitution is tho wrlttnn ov.
p.osalon and embodiment of a con
vention Which WHS nntl.doninr.rntln
almost to the verge of actual mon-
nrchlsm. And yet the people have
been educated to believe the exact
opposite. They think that in this
country the people rule. They also
think that.it is the only country in
which the people rule.
In the very nature of things it was
impossible that the statesmen of
1787 should have designed a demo
cracy or witnessed the birth of a re
public. They had no conception of
democracy. They had been schooled
under monarchy. The thirteen colo
nies wore part of a kingdom and the
war of tho Revolution was not a re
volt In favor of democracy. It was a
war of independence. It was true
that the spirit of democracy was
abroad, but it had not yet taken deep
root in America. It was born in
France nnd its thrilling song was
heard in the Declaration of Inde
pendence, but the notes died away J
in the wrangling of the business
men and the monarchists who fought
for commercial supremacy In the se
cret session of that constitutional
convention.
In those days national democracy
was Impossible. There were no
railroads. There were but Imperfect
means of communication. It was a
three monts' journey from one end
of the country to another. There
wore few newspapers and fewer
books. There were no telegraph
lines. It was impossible to educate
the people to an intelligent under
standing of public questions. The
great mass of the people were woe-
lully Ignorant. They had a vague
idea of democracy but could not give
It expression. They were used to
being governed, and though the
scepter of the king had been with
drawn, its Imprint remained. And
yet it Is to these people that we aro
told to look for our ideals and our
wisdom.
The people imagine that the ses
sions oi mat constitutional conven
tion consisted of a series of fervid
orations on the rights of the people,
and that the delegates labored ear
nestly to secure an instrument which
for all time should guarantee to the
nation "a government of, by and for
tne people."
nut among all the delegates to
that convention there were but two
who expressed any love for demo
cracy. One was Benjamin Frank

this country have done his memory

In order to demonstrate the kind
of "democracy" which actuated the
tounuers of the constitution and to
show how far we have progressed
since then, I will repeat a few of
the expressions made bv tho leaillnu
uuiugaies uunng the convention
which expressions are selected
ranuom irom thousands of similar
tenor.
Roger Sherman, of Connecticut
x oupose tne election of members
nf the National Legislature uy uw
people. Tho people, immediately,
should have as little to do as may
be about the government."
air. Dickinson, of Delaware 1
consider a limited monarchy as one
of the best governments In the
world." , ... .
On Juno C Mr. Gerry "admitted
that it was necessirv that the peo'
pie should appoint one branch of
the government In order to Inspire
them with the necessary confidence.
Alark that utterance. It is the key
note to the proceedings and outcome
of the convention. They gave the
people the shadow of legislative
authority and then stabbed to death
with the senate, Executive veto pow
ers, Supreme Court and other
checks the actual, substance of pop
ular rule. It was a month before
the convention consented to a popu
lar election for tho dummy house of
representatives.
air. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, ans
wered air. Gerry. He said "lie wish
ed for the vigor of government, but
ho wished that vigorous authority
to flow Immediately from the legi
timate source of all authority. The
government ought to possess not
only, first, the force, but second, the
mind or sense of the people at
large."
Alexander Hamilton advocated life
terms for senators. He exclaimed:
"Let the executive also be for life."
He was strongly in favor of a king.
He then submitted a plan Incorporate
ing his ideas, aiuch of it was prac
licaliy adopted.
air. aiadison was afraid the major
ity would oppress the wealthy mi
nority. "In a republican goven
ment," he said, "Hip majority. If
united, have always an opportunity.
The only remedy is to "iilargo tl'o !
sphere, nnd thereby divide the com
munity into so great a number of in
terests and parties, that in the first
place the majority will not be like
ly, at tho same moment, to have a
common interest separate from that
ot the whole.'
