McCall said to the townspeople: “To have the enormous governmental powers of one hun- dred million people diffused through the mass, spread over the broad base of the Union and dwindling as the pyramid | flees to its summit is not to separate people from their Gov- ernment but to identify them with it, and is in the interest of a genuine freedom.” ‘Also in the interest of genuine peace. Germany has shown what ean happen when national ideals and national initiative are concen- trated at the top. Europe's struggle seems unlikely to end save ‘through the complete democratization of another great people, the ‘@stablishment of popular thought, popular action, popular independ- “ence, to replace sword leadership and the ascendancy and glamour of a military clase. The independence which this nation has just celebrated and the “peace and happiness inseparable therefrom rest upon a structure of eelf-government built from the bottom up. | . £1 | fi THE REAL OPPORTUNITY. m HAS been obvious from the first that the war, by cutting off va- : rious foreign products, would bring to bear the strongest sort of | protective stimulation upon certain American industries. : Marked results along this line begin to appear in the case of the ‘aniline dye makers. Since the importation of German dyes almost | eeased, American dye manufacturers have had immense inducements to double their plants and speed up their chemists. A big American A oncern reports that it has to reject every day orders for anywhere from 30,000 to 30,000 pounds of dyes simply because it cannot manu- facture them fast enough. Yet this plant is turning out four times ‘as much as it ever did before. __ It is predicted that inside of eighteen months American manu- facturers will be ready to supply $10,000,000 Worth of dyestuffs an- “nually. The market in this country could use $30,000,000 worth. ~ Can the American dyemakers hold the home market against a .peturn of the foreign goods? That is the all-important question. ‘Bxperts assure us that our natural resources of coal tar are of a sort fo make successful competition with foreign dyestuffs perfectly ile. % ‘ Quality is the test. It is up to our chemists and producers to | ettain and keep it. Developments of a similar kind in a dozen other ‘American industries leading to the permanent acquisition of home ‘markets mean more to the real prosperity of th's country than all the ‘shipments of food and war munitions ever dreamed of. ot i BIG GUNS NOT NEW.
