Rowell before Oregon republicans on Lincoln’s birthday called to mind an important feature of world developments In the past year. Nearly all of the democracies of the world have given way to dictatorships because democracies are slow in times of stress and dictatorships move fast A democ racy was never thought to be an efficient form of government for so many pe >ple are concerned with it. It is necessarily slow. Vr may make our decision and either have a government of people by the people and for the people such as Lincoln praised or we may forego our liberty and have a swift moving dictatorship. It is still possible under democracy to give great powers to offiicers for a short time and change rapidly, but we should not permanent ly change our form of government so as to lose our heritage of 1 liberty of speech and action.
