Ing that wisdom crops out in unex
pected places, tho 7 years late.
There is nothing in tho evidence
against .lark DenipHoy, charged with
evuHion of the draft, .to show that he
made either tracks or tractors.
Unless deviltry is resinned along

Comparing Lc'a Angeles with Med
ford is a favorite pastimo in these
boosting days, and, as far as the start
1b concerned Loa Angeles has tho
"worst of It. However, It is what a
"city stops with that counts. If Los
Angeles had Crater hako within SO
miles of the city limits, the hardships
of un Arctic explorer would not have
to ho endured to get there, and alter
arrival thero wo'uld he something to
, do besides devouring fried trout.
Also, in California their system is

that It will hrlng back another one.
In Oregon, tho clutch only works one

DEMOCRACY, DO YOU BELIEVE IN IT?
IT i astonishing how many gin if I citizens aren't, demo
crats. i!y democrats wo don't mean the Democratic
part v. we mean helievers in dcmm-nii-;-.
The otliei' dv William .Jennings Kiyan gifve an address
;n .Illinois on the initiative and rcli-rendum m winch he
declared that only Ihe people have the right to rule. He
admitted the people would make mistakes, hut they would
lie jii ul'italile mistakes, and through them the people would
ho cluoated to a better government. The public official
who can not trust Ihe people, who does not believe in the
ultimate fairness and wisdom of the people, has no right
to hold office in a democracy, lie better go elsewhere.
.There is nothing new in this duel rine. Thomas Jeffer
son :;aid 1 Ik; same thing, so did Abraham Lincoln, so did
Theodore Roosevelt. And yet while the principle i.s sel
dom denied in theory, it is frequent ly denied in practice.
Tin.' scept icism which Mr. liryan'.s pronouncement was re
ceived in Jlliuois, proves it.
And yet, if one comes to think of it, our entire system
of American life is based upon this principle. The jury
system is an example. And the wonder is imt that juries
sometimes make mistakes, but that; mistakes are made
so seldom. This is due to what a well-known writer has
'ailed the "political over-soul"- the strange but unerring
instinct of right, and justice, which the composite heart
and mind almost unconsciously dictates.
So many people who profess to love their country at
hear', dispise its fundamental 'principles. Captains fo in
dustry have, been notorious in this regawl, from the daws
of Tweed, and Crocker, Commodore Vanderbilt and Jay
Conld, who frankly based their political and business
elhhs upon the principle of the public be damned. This
principle in recent years has fortunately been largely dis
carded, for the enlightened business man, as well as the
enlightened politician has come to realize, that demoeratic
faith is not a pretty abstraction, but a sound prineph; of
.success.
Li the present ti of unrest and readjustment, it is
important to keep the fundamental principles of American
government clearly in mind. Efficiency may sometimes be
retarded by freedom, but to make a Cod of material ef
ficiency is to sell t he soul of I (emocracy as has been rat her
effef i vely demonstrated the past few years.
There is no middle ground, no perch on the fence in this
proposition. We aro either believers in Democracy or
we aren't. As Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court re
cently said in a decision, which might well bo treasured
as :i text book (.if American policy.
"The theory of our constitution is that truth is the
only ground upon which men's wishes can bo carried out.
".If the people can't bo trusted with facts that establish
I rut h, I )enioeracv fails.
