TRAINING OF OUR RULERS NEXT STEP IN DEMOCRACY Ne Lenger Safe te Trust te the Casual Emergence of Such Men as Pinchot and Miller TN PENNSYLVANIA nnd in New Yerk the ability of the people te govern them selves Is (e lie put te the test by the tip -pienrhlng election. In New Y'erk Coventer Miller 1 a ran dldate te succeed hlmc!f. He has done well what he set out te de, but he hns net com pleted his work. livery one rcgnnlless of party has been temmendlng him ler his de- I vel Inn te the best Interests of the State and for 1'is indifference te what is commonly ! known as "practical politics." In this Slate Cifford Pinchot. who Is pledged te de for Pennsy lvnnln the same kind of things that Cm ft nor Miller has done In New Yerk, Is appealing te I !i voters for support. There Is no enthusiasm for him among the prnetlrat politicians who flight te prevent his nomination. They dare net oppose him, for he seemed the , regular nomination, anil opposition would i irake them trtegular. They accept him be- cause tliey must Heth I'lncl.e' anil Miller tire morally st.re of election lint in spite of this fact experts outside of the realm of politics nre new saying and have been sTjitig for the Inst few years thnt there is no such llnng as democracy, that there never has been government of the people, by the people and for the people nnd that there i no prospect for the realisatien of the Lincoln ideal. 'Fills was the theme of the inaugural m! dress of Ceorge Unrten ('niten en his formal Induction Inte the presidency of Cel- gate I'nlversity the ether day. He insisted I that the people nre net qualified te govern themselves, thnt men nre net born free and I equal, (hat the veire of the people is net I the voice of Ced. "Tile voice of Ced." , snid he, "is the vel' e of One crvlng in the wilderness.

I New it ii ii platitude that no pmh'.em 1 inn he sol red until the elements entering I it are known. The ascertainment of the various elements entering into the problem of democratic government h.ia been delated because we have accepted ." truth of i:ni vers.il application crraln formulas devised a lenturj or mere age.

Above till, he was the originator of a phrase that has lived for nearly half u cen tury. And this is tlie story told for the first time, as 1 happen te knew it. IT'S the word "speak-e.vy ." The descriptive slang for nn unlicensed saloon. Marien Ogden put that word into the com prehensive vocabulary of American slang. It was back in 1.SS-. The phrase was bem en a Sunday night in tin' city tenui of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Incidentally , I may sav. out of the Dis patch nlfiie between 17 and 1S0." there went into ether lield.H some of the brightest newspaper wrileis of the East. F. Marlen Ogden was one of them.

On lliis paitieiilnr night Ogden turned in later than usual fiein this route. It was evident at a glance that he was in tlie "bail lands." His blend hair was mussed and his light blue eyes were hai:v as he sat down beside the oily editor's desk te report. WITH the wisdom of the serpent lie fore stalled my query.
