This la the fifth and final act of a drama that began ninety-fivyean ago with the enfranchisement of the middle classes, which reached its second stage in the giving or the vote to the 850 householder In 1867, lta third in the amalgamation of county and borough franchise In 1884, and waa brought to e e 1919, with the enfranchisement of all women of thirty. Although universal adult suffrage la an inevitable and necessary development of democratic government, a good deal of political ignorance and apathy will have to be tackled before It can be hoped that the results of which it ia capable will be achieved. In thia. aa In so many other matters, the future of the country rests largely in the hands of those responsible for national education. In the elementary and secondary schools, where those classes enfranchised by the arts of 1S84 and 1919 and of Stanley Baldwin's administration, are educated, this opportunity and this reaponalbllity are fair too little realized. This la a state of things which might easily be remedied. So small a measure aa the introduction of Bagehot's English Constitution and Clay's Economics into every secondary school would do much to insure the intelligent casting of votes.

We favor abolition of the use of injunctions In labor disputes.

TT PM AFRAID MOT, Smith: aid (not a subsidy) and marketing for farm relief. Woodrow Wilson: We favor systematic effort to improve farm conditions and suppression of the pernicious practice of gambling in agricultural products. Theodore Roosevelt: We are pledged to foster the development of agricultural credit and Governor Smith: The labor of a human being shall not be treated as a commodity, or an article of commerce and legislation should be enacted to prohibit the granting of a temporary Injunction in industrial disputes, without a preliminary hearing to ascertain the facta. Woodrow Wilson: There should be no abridgement of the right of wage earners to organize Roosefor the protection of wages. We favor the organization of velt: the workers, as a means of protecting their interests and promoting their progress." In the foregoing, we have the views, upon three matters of paramount importance national resources, farm relief and labor rights of those two great progressive presidents, Wilson and Roosevelt, snd also the views of the governor of the greatest state on earth, an official of little less Importance than the president. Their views run along the same line for genuine democracy, for government by and for the people. You would know where these three big Americana would stand, with the Issue Power Trust vs. Popular Government. And thats the Issue which this democracy of ours has got to settle. .But, there ia another great progres- example, the true Importance or tne question raised by the lately proposed bill for the reform of the House of Lords. Much, too, might be done by emphasizing the light which historical experience sheds on present-daproblems. The introduction of politics into school necessarily implies considerable trust In the fairness snd wisdom of the teacher. But the mere fact of a child being put into his clans Implies such trust In the teacher that It la difficult to see why, when the possibilities are so considerable, he should not be trusted even further.

Woodrow Wilson put it in this shape: Make private monopoly Impossible. Put an end to the misuse of delegated power and usurpation of governmental Instrumentalities by special interests. Theodore Roosevelts plank read: Water powers and other natural resources are more likely to be wisely conserved and utilized for the general welfare, if held In public hands.
