So far as wo know, the millions of Asia have opposed the idea throughout all their history, although a small number of Asiatics are now loud in its support. Islam necessarily is opposed to it. The Bolshovlkl ore naturally violently opposed to it. So, too, Is every one who has what he re gards as a big Idea or great principle of incalculable good which he or she wishes to force upon tho people whether they wish it or not. "Theocracy oud autocracy, forceful application of the big idea, inevitably led to inequality before tho law and so to tyranny, revolution and chaos or to decadence, conquest and chaos. That way lies no hope Let the Bol shevikl and their supporters in all lands prate as they will ot reactionaries and Imperialists. They, themselves, arc the reactionaries. Their admitted doctrino is to establish a privileged class which they call the proletarrat, but they mean by that term a solect body of their own supporters. Their whole creed is to force on society a great idea which h'ns been revealed to them and to them alono: and, like. It or dislike it, so ciety Is to swallow it whole and that Is nothing but pure theocracy "We have to maintain the heritage of freedom against assault from within and without, the priceless heritage of a great idea now in danger from its popularity. Even rts enemies try to conceal their actions behind its phrases.

President's Opening Address Preservation of the constitution of the United States and staunch adherence to Its doctrines were demanded by Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, president of the association. The constitution and the form of government which it represents, he declared, wero the culmination of the desire for freedom and liberty in thought and action. "Our system, though often spoken of as democratic, is not and never has been a pure democracy," President Carson said. "It is representative, re sponsible representative government." Outlining the deliberations from which the constitution was evolved and the principles followed out In present ing the draft to the several states for ratification, tho speaker declared the conclusion reached was "both sane and sober."
