It is natural to suppose that if Mr. Morgan and his associates have any preference in political matters, it would be for the party whose financial policies best favor their interests; .Wthich party this is may perhaps be guessed by the fact that in 1904 Mr. Morgan con tribnted one hundred fifty ' thousand dollars to the Republican campaign fund and in 1906, an 1 other thirty thousand. T Q , O' INTELLIGENCE AND DEMOCRACY. While the following, from the current Utah Educational Review, is written as a' purely academic discussion of the fundamental distinctions between a democracy and an aristocracy, we offer it for the consideration of our readers as an excellent exposition of the purposes and tendencies of the two great political parties in the United States, with, a reminder that, so far as the interests of the masses are concerned, an aristocracy of wealth is fully as much opposed to the common interest, as one of rank; and that the special privileges it seeks may be even more harmful than those sought by a titled aristocracy. The article follows:' In all thes records of political thought there may not be found a doctrine more per- - ; nicious than that which holds that the people are not( to be trusted directly to control , their most important affairs, Always it has been a favorite device of special privilege, to concede popular control in- - matters - unim-- v of a portant,. in . order to .retain class the more important affairs, and the more effective powers,. -- The most often bsed t r ine-is- -t h a .ar gument-in-s-u th ppor based upon the assumption of the innate ignorance and stupidity of democracies. This is purely an assumption. The truth is, aristocracy and special privilege have in every period of the worlds history displayed both ignorance and stupidity such as would have been fatal todemocraey, 1 Always aristic- , "f Advertising reform is due, and unless it can be obtained through the regular channels, new ones aih be created, and once fairly, started, fhe movement will prove to be no joke, A. -- j ds t is-l- oe t-- of- inertia of .the present. Always democracy is put to the proof of its doctrines, AJmost the whole of modem political science is essentially a product, of democracy. From Locke to Jefferson and from Jefferson to -Henry George, those who have sought and found first principles in politics those who .have been doing the political thinking for humanity have been either direct products of democracy, or have been most ' strongly' influenced by the democratic tendencies of their times. Politically aristocracy is a hopeless bankrupt. It lives in the past. It is supported by political devices which .were the creation of a past radicalism, for purposes no longer in existence, which it now clothes with all the sanctity of tradition, in order" to circumvent democracy it its attempts to devise new methods f ots the solution of new problems which have arisen out of new conditions. The only legitimate evi-- " denee we have of the ignorance of democracy, is the fact that it will so often allow, itself to be humbugged into a belief in such ,, doctrine.

We, quote the following, by William Bayard Hale, as an indication of the sat sfdctory. class of work this dreamer has been performing of late. The story begins with hs campaign for the governorship of New Jersey in the .fall of 1910, and says: When the votes were counted it was , found that the State that two years before ahd given Taft a plurality of 82,000, had now gone for Wilson by a plurality of ,10,000. Wilson had changed the political faith of 66,000 out of 433,000 voters. At the same ra- tfohe will transform the great -- Republican majority in the nation four years ago into a . Democratic triumph by 1,630,000. If he does not do even better. The rest is familiar history, How the new Governor, with his party in control of only one chamber of the Legislature, and with a , faction of his own party against him, put ' through a programme of legislation that re-- . deemed one of the most backward, corporation-ridden. states 'in the Union; how he vindicated'" the primary that had nominated for', - United States Senator a man whom the old bosses didnt approve; how he made it clear , he had absolutely meant his campaign t that promise that )be4 would take office without , obligation .to any man, group or interest, but to the people of New Jergey-witwhat practical sagacity he worked out a direct primary and election law now the model of , progressive states; how he secured the establishment of a public utilities commission with power to fix rates, appraise properties and regulate the finaure of railway, express , telegraph, telephone,, light, heat, and power companies; how he put into effect an em- - . ployers liability law; legalized the commis-- . ' sion form of city government, with the in- - . how he did , . itiative, referendum and recall - all this and ' all did it insuch'a and' morey way that overwhelming public sentiment -endorsed his every act, and interests which tried to resist him were won over to support measures of whose wisdom, even from , their point of view, he convinced them all this was the .chief political event of the rvear . 4 -- h -- -- ( ., s . . . -- " .
