For Democracy To Survive
Mob Rule Mufet Go
"Or. Nicholas Mhrray Butler rrcently pointed

mob. 'Democracy isnot the rule of the mob.'
"

hysterical, governed, by the motive of curiosity,
or of greed, or of crielty, constitutes a mob. The
same persons listening intelligently to an argument or appeal in the field of politics, of religion,
or of science are 'thes people at their best.'
"Certainly democracy cannot be based upon
mob psychology and mob rule. It calls for inunselfish ser-ictelligence, knowledge,
genuine patriotism and passionate love ol
freedom. The rule of the mob invariably is
followed by the impositions of despotism.
"Mobs do not think, ' they feel. Those who
lead them play upon their emotions and do not
apjieal to their reasoning powers. They are
capable of excesses of every kind of which the
people could never be guilty. It is the mob, not
the people, which ;is stirred up by the demagogue, which is led ' into all sorts of errors .and
blunders, and which conceives all sorts of fan;
tastic notions."

If the coat of education and civilization tends
to drop from the people when it becomes the
mob. the solution lies in making this coat of
firmer and stronger weave, and therefore harder
to shed. There seems to be no immediate dan
ger of American democracy crumbling, but if it
is to achieve real success in the years to come,
mob rule must go. And the college students of
today will be responsible in the future for its
continuance or its disappearance.

Mention was made recently in "Clearing

is being served to University students staying in
certain local houses. Not mentioned, but known
to be existant, are the unsanitary and poorly

a few individuals make their homes for nine
months of the year.

But, regardless of whether we are on the right
or wrong side of the fence, certain undesirable
conditions do exist in a few of the student
houses, and something can be done without
mining to the federal government for aid.
On this campus is a committee termed the

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

PtgeTwo

It seems that they want everyone on the cam
pus to take an hour off each day and think about
something. They failed to mention what we
were supposed to think about.
We mulled over the idea and tried to think
what we would think about if we tried to
think about something for an hour.
Then we derided to think about something
for an hour. It just won't work.
We decided we would think about, the vice- president under Coolidge, and we bet Misses

Coolidge in conversation.
"Calvin," she said, "what did the preacher
talk about?"
"Sin."
"What did he have to say about sin, Calvin?"
"He's against it."
With difficulty we wrenched ourself away from
the subject of Coolidge jokes and back to the
who, as we have told von before,
was Charlie Dawes.
Now Dawes was an Indian, a part Indian, oi
knew an Indian or something. (Or maybe that
was Curtis, we don't know.) Anyway, whenevet
we think of Dawes we think of Indians, which
immediately led us to the subject of Indian
wars, John Smith, and turpentine. (We don't
know how turpentine got in, but there it was.)
We fought our way bark to

made some pretty stinging remarks
about

caused indignation in Parliament.
Some commentators say that the
indignation was half embarrassment,
and well it might have been, for the
British have coasted to a world
empire on just such tactics as the
Horrid Hitler is using now.
But to look at it from our own
slant. The American people think
of Hitler as being a horned devil
because of the way he treated Austria and Czechoslovakia. They don't
like his aggressive policy. If history
is to be believed, one of the worst
cases of aggression on earth was
perpetrated by the American people,
when they took over the North
American continent from the Indians. At least Hitler let the Czechs
and Austrians live; we wiped out

the Indians.

Now, if such progress, such power,

can be brought about by an idiot,
it does not speak very well for the
heads of the democratic powers,
does it? If a complete fool can bluff
out all the democracies in existence,
how can we hope for a sound future? If a madman can bring a- bout the victories for his country
that Hitler has, perhaps we should
all forsake our forms of government
for a nice quiet imbecile.
And as far as the Jewish question goes, let's begin at home. On
the campus of our own University,
attempts have been made repeatedly for the last two years to organize
a Jewish fraternity. This would
seem easy enough, but the
council has turned down
the proposal to recognize this Jewish clan as being one of the boys,
in spite of the fact that the faculty
put their OK on the proposition.
