To me It Is easy answered. The peo
ple do rule but do not get what they
want, because they do not meet such
men as violate public pledges and
their like at the depot, and place a
card on the dangling form this warn
ing to your successor: "The people
rule and will have what they want."
Which is the worst, to have little
children go hungry, half clad and

If tho people rule the people for
tho people, and don't get what the
people want, it is the peoples' fault.
People that believe that the people
rule the people, aro like the fly that
sat on a wheel while it turned, and
tnougnt he caused it to turn. He
that would rule himself is like the
ass that tries to vault into the saddle
on his own back to ride himself. He
that says I can't rule myself and no
one else shall rule me, is like tho
lost or wild ass on the mountain top,
that sniffs in the east wind from 'the
desert. He serves nobody and no
body serves him. Such half starved
idle wild asses, should have masters
to respect that would teach them to
do service in return for kind treat
ment. Their riders or masters
should be highly improved asses
themselves, that they may know how
to treat their less fortunate breth
ren. After Jesus made his grand
entry into Jerusalem the Jewish rul
ers became frightened and held a
council meeting to devise means of
safety for tho people and city. Let
us be content with what we get rath
er than fight about what we want.
If we would remember that the, voice
of tho people is the voice of God,
then we would know who rules the
people by the people for the people,
according to his own will and
wisdom.

people do not get what they want
because they do not know what they
really do want. The people have
their own conditions. If they did
not, they would change those con
ditions. Is anyone so light as to
think that the American people can
not have anything that they really
want? Many demacocuea rlennnnrA
corporations and wealth. The exist
ing evils are not to be attributed to
capital; tho monied interests have
simply, done what these demagogues
ana otners would have done under
like conditions. The trouble is to
be found with tho voters themselves.
The great majority of voters are
such donkeys that they allow their
wishes to be foiled by their own
blunders. The only remedy Is better
citizenship. "When the voters bring
themselves up to the standard which
the founders of the constitution ex
pected, then they will get what they
want. In order to do this thev miist
como to a realization of their duties
and responsibilities; they must throw
away their partisanship, anjl not al
low politicians and demagogues to
fool them, or follow blindly in the
footsteps of their party machine;
they must seek for truth on all po
litical questions and not vote for an
unscrupulous scoundrel in preference
to a man of high character simply
because tho latter differs with their
views in some minor particular; and
