Rather Than Political, Most Vital
In Service Rendered by Two Agencies.
(By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE)
America is lighted with electricity,
lighted more generally than any other
country because of a number of
things vastly removed from electricity.
Public education for one thing
has introduced tht. newspaper university
into the home of the coni?,or.
Ttw, neusonnor roader
lill'U luaLi. x u\.
has created a demand for the kind
of public lighting service Amlerlca
requires.
Schools make tho demand for
light, and any newspaper or any electric
empjoye who sets his face
against voting the bonds for a new
school house is just a plain, unvarnished
dub.
The demand for electric power in
a home is a concomitant of democracy.
Democracy, by giving men and
women political power, has developed
a certain amount ?f economic freedom
shorter hours, better wages,
self-respecting conditions of labor.
The householder, growing up in
those conditions of self-respect, no
longer is willing to drudge. Hence
the demand for electric power.
And the more democracy we have,
he more freedom we give to the common
man who works with his
hands, then the more light, heat, and
power we are going to sell that man
one way or another. And the newspaper
or the public utility man who
. objects to democracy is just biting
off his own nose to spite his own
reacionary face.
We are in for a period of broadening
democracy which does not
necessarily-mean much politics. The
democacy which really counts in the
woitld does not mean universal vot
log and the u8e ?' the political weapons
of democracy. The democracy
which really counts has come as the
result of industrial and economic
forces.
Democracy means more In its
economic and industrial phases than
it means in its political phase. For
indeed the political aspects of democracy
are merey instituted to secure
the economic benefits of democracy.
Let me illustrate: Twent-five years
ago the automobile was an aristrocratlc
instiution. It has been democratized:
thirty years ago the electric
.light shone only in the proud
windows of thP rich. Now electricity
has been democratized and light
heat, and power go into the homes
of the workers.

There is no distinction between
the light of the poor man's cottage
and the light of the rich man's
house, either in the rate one pays or
the character of the illumination.
We have democratized electricity as
will have little to do with the forces
democratized the phonograph and 1
the telephone. Our politicians have
had very little to do with it. They
will have llttlelo do with the foces
which are about t0 extend democ- :
racy further and further into our i
lives.
And we who sell service, whether ;;
it be light in the form in which I
c^ii it chrtniH wuicnmo this democ
racy and not foar the chatter of the i;
politicians. [
It all comes down to this: We who !
are selling service are the distribut- I
ors of democracy. It is the man who |
sells service the man who makes
well and distributes cheaply the ma- i
terial thing's of this civilization? ,
that man is the guardian of our insi
itutlon.
America is safe and sound. Amerl- I
ea is impregnable to the assaults of
some inner commercial prescience,
some deep economic intuition, sees ,
that a great majority of her people (
enjoy the blessings of this marvelous
civilization which American gen- j
ius creates. jEvefry Jinie you put ;
a wire into a bungalow, you anchor j
five people to stable government, to
American ideals. Every time you 1
establish a laboi^saving device in j
a home, you save that home to demo- I
eratic institutions. You run on the i
wire which brings them light and 11
power something strong, something^
more than the juice you sell.
No matter what your political principles
are, no matter what your ethical
standards are, you too, who sell
the juice, you who thing you are
mere peddlers of service are mistaken.
You are something more, some- I
thing mysteriously controlled, some |
part of the great ethical forces j
which are binding modern eiviliza- j
tion into a great spiritual fraternity. ;

You are selling, n0 matter what your i
low notions of salesmanship are, you [

coming of a new and finer era in
this old world. You and all like you
who sell service to humanity are
