AN KDITOKIAL
ON DKMOOtACY
With reference to the part to be
taken by thre United States at the
.peace table, a very able and enlighten
Jng editorial was 'printed in The
Christian Science Monitor, the well
.known and widely read Boston dally
on December 2nd, under the title
""Democracy". This editorial read as
follows:
In the International congress called
to arrange terms upon which the
peace of the world shall be re-established,
it is Qtting that the United
States should have a part. If there
were no other reasons, its participa
tion In conference upon matters aris
ing from the defeat of the Central
Empires, to which It contributed In
no small measure, would, no doubt,
bo invited as a matter of Internation
al courtesy. But there are other rea
sons, and perhaps the most potent of
them iskthe fact that, not only from
the time of t' e entrance of the na
tion Into the war, but from the very
beginning of the conflict, the United
States has been a most' Important
moral factor In the situation. It Is not
going too far to say that the attitude
of Washington toward all phases of
the war, from Its beginning, to the
drafting and signing of the armistice,
was watched with the keenest Inter
est by the statesmen of the world.
It was not throug'ii any act of the
nation or through any act of Its

he had laid down, In addresses to Con
gress and In addresses to the people
certain fundamentals which so appeal
ed to mankind that, In time, he came
to be regarded as perhaps the clearest
?nunrlator and strongest exponent of
the basic questions Involved in the
struggle.
At the very outset he struck the
highest possible note in proclaiming
that the United States entered the
war that the world might bo made
safe for democracy. This was idealism
American idealism; and it was looked
ttpop, at first, in many quarters at
home and abroad, as simply an ora
torical flurish ;but as time went on
,tt sank In, and. as it sank in. it was
made clear that the only way in
which the world could be made safe
for democracy was C rough the des
Iruction of autocracy. From the mo
ment the United States entered t ho
war one point, at least, was settled:
the war should never cease until the
Ihe lloheuzollerns, the Hapsburgs,
and their kind, were driven from
power.
Idealism has' marked practically
very utterance by Wood row Wilson
since then, and at times it may have
sounded stranre to unfamiliar ears,
but it Mas, after all. only a harking
!back to democratic doctrines such as
the founders of the United States im
planted, not only in the Declaration
of Independence and in the Constitu
tion of the Republic, but in the heart
mnd ronsclence of the American peo
"Ple. Woodrow Wilson expounded
nothing new; he simply applied
Americanism to the solution of a
-world problem. To this Is due the fact
that he won at once the sympathy of
bis fellow tltlzens; to this Is due al-
'o me raci mat He soon won the at-1
tentlon, then the respect, and finally!
the friendly sympathy, of all peoples.
"Even the enemy nationalities sought
mis intercession and his influence.
3t was Woodrow Wilson, but the
founders of the Republic, and at the
very birth of the nation, who pro
nounced encompatible with free gov

many of these conditions, and
the United States was regarded as be
ing rather backward than progressive
because it was not. and had no am
otion to be. great military power.
In the making of the United States,
standing armies were denounced by
the founders as dangerous to liberty;
wars for the extension of territory
were regarded as unjust; dishonest
diplomacy as reprehensible; bad faith
between nations as Inexcusable as bad
faith between individuals. Woodrow
bad imbibed the spirit of democracy,
one of the foundation stones of which
Is square dealing. It was this spirit,
ever alive in the nation, that set Cuba
free, and insisted upon her remain
ing independent; that paid for the
Philippines when It could have taken
them; that refused to apply the Box

China was seen to be in need.
Autocracy for, years sneered at
"the Idiotic Yankees" It. regarded
democracy as a failure. It heaped ri
dicule upon the alleged Inefficiency of
the United States. It taught for a gen
eration before 1914, in its principal
universities, that there could be no
suh thing as honor between nations;
that no nation should trust another;
that treaties were not safeguards and
were made only to be broken; In
short that everything the United
States held to be essential to the peac
and happiness of the world, to honor
and Justice among nations, to frater

How Spinal Defects. Occur-
MANY persons have asked how the spine caA press the
nerves and shut off the life-giving energy and cause
weakness and disease in certain parts of the body. Tho
spine protects the spinal

energy passes from the iff
brain to tho net-work
The spine is made up of U 'W
separate moveable parts . - ' -
that aro easily displaced and are sensitive to every strain
and jar.

r
Causes of the Fatal Pressure
Tn fact there are many contributory causes that lead to
defective spines and they are present every day of life. Be
fore, during and after birth the weak and tender spine is
very easily affected. The manner in which a child sits at
the school desk, or the position of the man or woman while
at work is likely to cause defect and curvature. Strenuous
games, active play,1 falls, blows, sudden twists, or strains
from carrying or lifting heavy weights are all likely to
throw the spine out of plumb. This brings about the fatal
pressure upon the nerves and throttles or obstructs the life
giving nerve currents, thua leading to disease. '
CHIROPRACTIC CORRECTS SPINAL DEFECTS
It lifts the pressure from the nerves, permitting them, to
nourish the famished, worn
out and diseased tissues
and organs. "With normal
