. “When power is arbitrarily held by chief or king, themilitary spirit is developed, and wars of conquest and dynastiesensue; and just in proportion as power is obtained by the people,the industrial type is developed and peace ensues.” Therefore thegreatest thinker of the age is a republican. I quote from memory,but the substance is there, and it is because this law is true thatthere is hope for the future of the world, for everywhere the peopleare marching to political power. England is yet the world’s greatestoffender, because she is still ruled by the few, her boastedrepresentative system being only a sham. When the masses do reallygovern, England will be pacific and make friends throughout theworld instead of enemies, “and sing the songs of peace to all herneighbors.”
