What Is Democracy?
A S FAR as we are aware, democracy still means the rule of
the people.
And the rule of the people still means the. rule of the
majority. ' -,'.
If this is true, and we hear no denials, then why all this
hulabaloo about what the President said about Senator George
of Georgia t
Above all, why maintain it is a blow at the heart of democ
racy, aa attempt by the President to become another "Hitler,"
by destroying the legislative branch of the government!
That seems to this column as uncalled for, and to express
it mildly, an exceedingly silly accusation.
' . -
FOR since when has any President's word become law, his
mere expression of preferences, a mandate from-on-high,
which willy-nilly must he obeyed!
Does anyone seriously maintain that when this primary
election is held in September, the members of the Democratic
party in Georgia will go to the polls, and vote for the candidate
they DON'T want, merely because the President of the United
States said he wished them to! .
And if they don't do that, if they vote for the candidate
they DO want, and if their candidate is favored by the ma
jority, then how can anyone say that the election of such a
candidate because he also happens to be the President's choice
means the destruction of this democracy!
IN other words, has the character of the American people
changed so radically, since the days of Theodore 'Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilsonj that whereas they did not hesitate at
the polls to repudiate the former, and not only repudiate but
break the heart of the latter, they are today, too supine, too
craven, too cowardly, to do exactly as THEY WISH TO DO,
and if they feel so impelled repudiate Franklin Delano Kocse
velt and tell him too, to jump in the lake! '
We can't believe it. And Vfe fail to see how anyone else can
believe it. And if the people of Georgia, or any other state,
vote as they wish to vote, and their will (the will of the ma
jority) is carried, out, then, far from meaning the destruction
of democracy, it means the functioning of democracy in aper
fectly natural and normal fashion, and we fail to see how
anyone who knows the meaning of the term, can deny it.
What Is Dictatorship?
DT THE above we are neither commending nor condemning
the President's particular attitude toward Senator George.
We are merely calling attention to the absurdity of the con
tention, that the effort of the President to secure n congress
friendly instead of hostile to his policies is un-American, anti
social, and is only another step in his determination to make
himself an American Dictator. RUBBISH!
Such action may be wise, it may be unwise, it may be
politic, it may bo impolitic (we believe it IS the latter) but
it ISN'T, .
UNdemocratic.
Not only hns similnr action been taken by former Presidents,
but this column believes such action that is clear-cut, definite,
fearless LEADERSHIP on the part of the President of the
United States is acutely needed at the present time. We might
even go so far, as to say, that without such leadership under
conditions which today exist
survive.
And that sort of leadership
In effect he is saying to the
the members of his own party:
"I believe In certain definite liberal principles. I want the aid
of a congress and the support of the people, regardless of their
party labels, who also believe In those principles. I don't seek the
aid and 1 don't expect the support of those who don't believe In
them. It Is up to you to decide. It Is up to me to sld you In that
decision, by pointing out those candidates who favor my principles
and those who don't, those who talk my political language and
those who don't."
Now that as before stated may be poor politics, it may even
wreck the Democratic party, and break Roosevelt.
But it isn't undemocratic and it isn't dictatorship. It is
executive LEADERSHIP, the
this country to- form a new Liberal Party, by his own efforts,
practically over night an effort which the people of this
country, in Georgia or any other state, can 'accept, or reject,
when they march to the polls, precisely as they WISH !
What Are "We" Anyway?
IITIIAT ARE the American people anyway, that is, the
" majority of them! We wish Dr. Gallup would pose
this question in his next poll of public opinion, so we might
get some light on the subject.
Are "we the people" by and large, honest, self respecting,
industrious, decent!
Or are we no better than so much white trash, crooked,
corruptible, indolent, degraded!
We believe the time has come to put all our cards on the
table and, if it is possible, find out.
For really, what should be done and what shouldn't be
done, as far as public policies are concerned, depends so
largely upon what we really are, what the character of our
citizenship really is.
TT'AKE relief one example.
It is frequently stHted the Roosevelt form of relief is
ruining the character the moraleof the American people.
That Ihe average American today if given the choice between
JS or 30 dollars a month on relief, and the same amount, or
even a lariier amount, as steady productive employment, he
will invariably choose the former. In other words your typical

responsible job. He is ln.y, no good, he doesn't want to make
his own way, stand on his own feet, if there is any way to
avoid it. And in federal relief he finds the wav to avoid it.
IS THAT true! We mean does that represent the average
American the majority or only the very rare exception!
Far more important, it semis to us, is the answer to this
question than any clrctinn or any candidate.

What is the sense of running to
a doctor at that early stage of tli

the expectant motner all she needs

of what a doctor will charge?
Approximate date of confinement
may be determined by counting 280
days (10 lunar months) forward from

more early by counting three months
back from that day and adding seven

m To keep canned foods I have been
told salicylic acid must be added
Is this so? Are there any harmful
effects to persons using the canned
food? (Mrs. R. 8.)
Answer It is neither necessary nor
advisable. If the food Is not fresh
and clean enough when canned, or
the canning process Itself is not suf
ficient to assure preservation, then
It would be better to worry along

be said that they are now trying hard
to avoid the third term alternative
Aa the remark quoted above implies,
the primary purge and tha whole
program for the reconstruction of the
democracy la intended solely to make
it possible to nominate a new dealer
In 1Q40. The danger la that the third
term alternative offers such an easy
way out that the struggle to recon
struct the democracy wont be waged
as unrelentlessly as possible.
Leaving on one side the dangers of
the third term - precedent and the
other conservative arguments, there
are solid considerations which should
make the most sincere new deaiers
think twice about the third term.
In their cross-country wanderings
this summer, your correspondents set
out with open minds, anxious only tc
discover what the effect of a third
term race would be. What they dis
covered was disquieting, from the
point of view of the men now talk
ing third term.
In the first place, the ancient tra
dition against third terms still has
surprising pulling powers end not
only among the people who would
naturally view with distaste tour
more years of Roosevelt. In Kentuciry,
for example, three of the president's
rare whole-hearted admirers In the
upper helrarchy of the press were
asked what they thought. They were
all bitterly opposed to the tnlrd term
idea. Elsewhere in the south and
west, a surprising number o? really
ardent new dealers were found to be
like-minded. Strangely enough, the
people who viewed the third term
with equanimity were exactly the or
ganization politicians whom the new
dealers are now fighting. They know
Roosevelt's strength with the mass 01
voters, and. In such formerly Repub
lican states as Iowa and Michigan,
would like him at the head of che
ticket to help elect their local can
didates. Pew differed from the organization
men in supposing that, as of today,
Roosevelt could be re-elected. But
other Interesting arguments wore
commonly offered by Informed lib
erals. First, they said. "Roosevelt is
a magnificent front man for a lib
eral program. He's done a great Jib.
But the people won't stand anyone
however nice his smile, for twelve
years. They'll turn on both him and
his program. Get a new front man.
and the program can go on."
The second point was equally In
teresting. One man made it thus
"you know well enough what sort or
campaign It will be If Rossevelt runs
again. It will be a campaign of ap
peals to prejudice, of vituperation
and personal charges. It will be con
ducted tn a vigilante spirit. There's h
definite chance he would oe beaten
In which case the vigilante cam
paigners would become vigilantes in
office. And of he wan, you would
still have transformed the conserva
tive opposition from its present
harmless, comparatively decent state
to a vigilante opposition, rhat's vciry
definitely something serious to think
of."
Slice them any way you want to.
these are arguments to be pondered.

ered her rating
No one would of raised a cry.
But what did they do but not con
sider Her rating not one blame bit:
They cut her rating to 23
When the committee In Judgment
sit.
Now this must of made her feel ter
rlble Indeed:
She was only doing what the law
decreed.
An apology I make to the lady
For trying to be Just to the poor
But none whatever to the committee
Thta decldea each case for the poor.
Now I simply call this stealing:
I've a notion the committee to sue
But rata with 13 dollars a month
What's bums like us going to do'
So now. dear Editor, if you".i tell
them all this.
Think you the committee I come
through
Take a new slant, from their sins
depart.
And raise our pension a few.
If so. dear Editor, all hall to you.
I'm not a subscriber at present.
But gol darn. I'd sure like to be.
If you publish all this and they raise
our pay.
I'll aure as heck sign for your paer
next day.

Must be confusing to parents
to name their kids,
With both' families and all
relatives putting in bids.
OF COURSE, the first boy
is named after Pa
And a hundred to 0116 the
girl's named for Ma.
But after that it's just a
mad scramble,
While the name the kid gets
is just a gamble.
But when it comes to a car
and all have a say,
You'll find they're a nnit
and pick Chevrolet !
