Mr, Bryan's question, “Shall the People Rule?” appears to have been accepted everywhere in the spirit of Its propounder as bearing altogether upon the majority, Much is to be sald, however, In favor of the influence which a minority may exert in public affairs, The people rule negatively as well as affirmatively, and there is not likely to be popular government of the best kind unless there !s a powerful and an able minority. One prolific cause of extravagance, indifference and partiality in the ad- | ministration of national affairs recently has been the absence of an effective | Opposition. Republicans have done as they pleased. They have not been | / gubjected to scrutiny and criticism, punishment. ’ They have quarrelled among themselves occasionally, but these F fights have been shams and not much public good has come of them. 1 | | — ———j Wf, Uy Vie They have had no fear of rebuke or CARRIED HER To THE It has been the history of all decadent States that government was car- ried on in the name of the people long after the popular will had ceased to| | control, and the record of every tyranny shows that lawful forms and cere- | i monies aré likely to continue even when law itself is dead. So In popular | government, if a minority for any cause ceases to be respected by a ma- fority It cannot be held blameless for the excesses which Its own weakness | invites. In one view a great majority party, acting practically without rer] Straint, rules In behalf of the people whose votes gave it power, but in the best senae the people do not rule as they should unless there 1s an Opposi- | tion alert enough and vigorous enough to take Instant advantage of every | error or misdeed of those in power. In many of the Southern States there {a no effective opposition to the Democratic party. In many Northern States the situation {s reversed, In | the nation at large the Republican majority has become so large as to be unwieldy. Both parties have suffered from these conditions, and the country | has paid the penalty. A majority arrogant, heedless, wasteful and corrupt | must always be attended by a minority so weak in numbers and go lacking in virtue and ability as to be !n some measure responsible for the evils t complained of.

It must look for things to critl- ¢ise and not for things to praise or to imitate. It must make Itself the watchguard of the people, the voice of the people and the Strong arm of the people. Political parties are neceasary to free government, but we shall Dever have a party so well led or so well inspired as to make it advisable for us to do without Opposition. Shall the people rule? They shall, but they must be prepared to rule fn the minority no less than in the majority. They must have policies and pur- poses of their own, When a minority apes a majority it opens wide the | it @ates for everything except true popular government, To a meeting of the unemployed came uninvited a King of the Hoboes, = = 2 aa a Millionaire Tramp and an avowed Anarchist, Admonished by experlence, | : < , erry : 9 the Police Department sent one hundred men, Wives Hate to See Husbands Go Out Evenings, but Never Miss Em As ® matter of course everybody was In ill-bumor, and {t was not long | i : before the expected happened.
