They aic not fit to govern, hut onlj to ho governed. From tlio time tho first Pharoahs of Kgypt originated tho immaculate concept ion of monarchs down to the twen tieth century Gorman kaiser proclaiming the divine right of kings, it has over been the axiom of tho classes that thu masses wore not fit to govern themselves the many fit only to bo governed, that is, to be exploited, by the few. Slavery, feudalism and monarchy are founded upon this doctrine. Injustice, oppression and war are its nrdduets. The nations of antionity crumbled beneath it and modern Kurope is being desolated by it. The magna cliarta and lOnglish civil wars, the Ameri can declaration of independence, the hYonch revolution were protests against it. The effectiveness of the strug gles against this soul-throttling propaganda spell the story of the progress of humanity. "They aro not fit to govern, but only to be governed," says tho'Oi'ogonian. That is what King John said to the barons at Kuunymodo, what tlio SStuarts told rJnglanu, what King (leorge remarked of the American colonies, what the Bourbons replied to France, what the kaiser thinks of Europe-the same old cry that tyranny has echoed down the corridors oi time since the birth ol the world. Who is fit to govern, without consent of the gov erned? If by govern is meant the rule of might, any physically superior power, any foreign tyrant fills the def inition. But-such exploitation is contrary to the Ameri can ideal, antagonistic to the American conception ol lib erty. Does the Orogoniau mean that the United States, which fought for liberty, should assume the role of oppressor of foreign peoples? Does it mean thai the United States is fit to govern a foreign people with alien ideals and civil ization' Why the United States has not yet learned to rightly govern itself. A thousand wrongs at homo cry for remedy a million unemployed call for work and the bread line of the nation is as long as Uelgiiim's. To talk of disinterested aid to assist Mexicans in gov erning themselves, savs the Orogoniau, is a "sorry mis- 'take." Jlumanitarianism jh also a "sorry mistake" when it conflicts with sordid commercialism. Altruism has no place in the tory decalogue it is I'eplaced by the grasping greed of selfishness. Perhaps the Orogoniau considers itself infallible enough to govern Mexico as Hearst and Otis evidently do. .It is probable, tor only a tew years ago it styled Ore gon "tho fool of the family" for giving the people a chance to express their wishes on men and measures. As dictator for .Mexico, the Orogoniau would probably duplicate Uuerta's bloody career in carrying out its tory propaganda. It would onlv moan one trouble more loi that troubled nation but it would bo a great relief to Ore gon to get rid ol it.
