DEMOCRACY OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE Dmtcntjr may to, u Lincoln said, “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Or it may to, aa Victor Hngo said, “the climate of driUsation.” Or it may to, aa Woodrow Wilson said, that form of government and social organization that lends “the greatest dignity to the individual.” Bat democracy certainly is not a mere system or form. It is not something that comes down to as from government. It is something that goes ap to government from the people. Recall the first words of the Constitation preamble, “we the people.” Democracy is a great prindple, bat it mast to made and kept a living prindple. It is never finished. It is a continuous force. Only the people can keep it operating, throagh the ceaseless vigil ance and alertness of the individual citizen. In Britain we are sedng today a test, a terrific test, of the democratic prindple in the lives of a people. The British are saying—and proving—that if London is laid in the dust, if every city of their land is demolished, if their homes sre swept sway and millions of them must sacrifice their lives, they yet will fight on. • That is democracy at work in one way; that is the spirit of it, the reality of it, which is indestructible.—Kansas City Times. UNIONISM CAN ONLY LIVE WHERE MEN ARE TRUE Wc in America and the working, people in particular stand immovably in opposition to totalitarianism and in de fense of democracy. .We do that for national reasons as well as for economic reasons. We have learned from a study of the situation that trade unionism can only flourish and live where men are free. Freedom is the basis upon which our government rests. Our democratic trade unions cannot live, they cannot exist under the totalitarian form of government, for the record shows that the dictator attacked, first of all, the trade unions when he seized power.—William Green. LASTING VALUE The successful resistance of the American Federation of to the introduction of Communist purposes and methods in the labor movement was an outstanding patri otic accomplishment. Its lasting value will be recognized more and more as time peases.—John P. Frey.

Exasperated beyond endurance, he finally put up a sign which read: “If you must pine ha da fruit—pincha da coconut!” ERROR LOGICAL Cannibal Soothsayer: “Did you know the chief has hay fever?” Cannibal Doctor: “Serves him right, we warned him not to eat that grass widow.” THE JOURNAL has by far tha largest eity circulation of may weekly published la Char lotto.
