6. I GOVERNMENT BY CRIMINALS (By Dr. Frank Crane, in Atlanta Journal.) Do you it\ Mze that v. great part oi' the people of this i\ try habitually regard the government as something that is none of their concer.*? They say "tneirs not ours. uu you realize that children are growing up with the idea that the management of the affairs of their own ward or city is as much "none of their business" as the management of the lumber yard or hotel? I do not refer only to those homes where there is continual complaint against the govern- j ment, as among foreign anarchistic folk. How many college1 boys realize that an interest in town politics is as much to be' expected of them as an interest in the golf club or social affairs? The average business man makes it a point of pride to say that he never meddles with politics. In other words, he regards the democratic self-governing system under which he lives to be a thing apart from , him. The whole nation is handed over to a group of men called | politicians. The average poli- j tician interests himself in government matters only to the extent to which they may bring, him personal profit or advance ment. Now, politics is at present mainly occupied with the punishment of crime. The consequence is that criminals and those who receive profits from crime drift into politics. These are the people most directly af- ' fected by laws. i The result is that we have what might almost be called a < government by law breakers, j: Not that all officials are law breakers, hut that the most considerable pressure brought to bear upon them, from the President down to the policeman, is from the people whose livelihood or success depends upon the violation of the law. The huge wealth units, trusts and corporations surround the congress with their skilled lob-! huiofo ;inrl fill Uifl onnvf l< ,i<it 1, il/j ?uvu tii ivt mi i'liv will tr> vv l I II 1 their expert lawyers. Around the police, the gamblers, white | slavers and thugs are lively, while the decent portion of the I population is indifferent. The criminal element and their hangers-on are active in elections. The grocer, baker and parson hardly care to vote at all. We shall never begin to realize democracy until the children shall be taught to speak of the government and of politics as "ours," not "theirs." A fiame of Magazines. 1. One hundred years old.
