DO YOU REMEMBER? How Very Important You Felt When You Cast Your First Vote ~S Stee SrA QA , ae — people who are thinking socialism get fi hting mad when ac cused of being socialists, and yet they can't tell to save their faces to what party th belong. It is a real good thing if or the country, too. Names don’t reach very far nowadays. Peo- pie are more and more generally adopting that blessed Missouri policy, “Show me.” THERE'LL soon be noise enough in the barnyard when the elephant, the donkey and the bull moose begin scrapping for their feed. ; MEMBERS of the Allen gang, after reading the Rosen thal homicide, may be tempted to regret that they did not select New York as a place of business.——Washington Star. “Social Unrest” Society has always seemed to- the thoughtful man some- thing like a pyramid. At the top were the kings and the mobility, and the princes whose kingdoms were their bank accounts. It was these people who for years and centuries ruled the world. ~ The last century saw a change. It was then that the so- ¢alled middle class began to interest itself in the game of gov ernment and to demand a share of the power. During all this time there always remained the bottom « the pyramid, that which held the whole structure up. It con-} Sisted of just the common man, the man who worked jin the factory or tilled the fields, the man who did the world’s tasks, fed its mouths and clothed its backs. The present century has seen a great awakening. Every-| where in civilized nations the plain men are beginning to assert themselves. Since they are in the vast majority and since their labors and their lives are indispensable, why not have the share in the government to which they are entitled? It is this feeling that has given rise to. the glib phrase, “social unrest.” It is not really unrest at all. It is a demand for rights. It is a determination that the will of the majority | shall really prevail. It is a clarion declaration that no longer} shall countries be administered and laws be made for the favored few, the self-seeking minority This is the meaning of progressivism in this country, of the advanced liberals in England, of the movements in France and Germany and Italy to bring the government to the people. It does not mean “mob rule.” It does not mean anarchy There will be law and order. There will be room for the best brains and best minds in each of the nations HAZING in the electoral college should be strictly barred. —Wall Street Journal STEAMSHIP GOVERNOR the North.
