The idea of a new political party
s» ires someone in America every
nine in a while. It is a most
laudable ambition and the design
of being the founder of a party
will be the people's savior is sure
ly highly patriotic.
It is very encouraging to observe
that the fate of the other nonde
script parties which have arisen
from time to time, glowed a while
on tin* political firmament before
setting for ever, does not dishearten
those who would attempt the very
■ lillicuit up-bringing of such a party
;.s vo ini re; • h adolescence iiid over
■ orne that period of fatality infant
political parties must try to pass.
Ph*- name o! a National Party
is really half the battle. It is a fine
name and with a good reliable plat
form hammered out by skilled
workmen and of solid wood, it
ought lo appeal to the politicians
;ls supremely natural A national
.party ought to till a long felt want,
for there is quite a jealous rivalry
among the many and most opposite,
for the claims to tie spokesman for
rhe simon pure American.
Thus tic former Fatherland has
blossomed out into the ’"iereek's
Weekly. the "American weekly”,
vuiul here is Collier's laying still
•um to the national w -ekly.
V ithaJ tin re seems to he as many
, .rieties 01 American ism as tin re
>rc of dern i.-rcc y. and hem e a p ir
rhat would separate the sheep
•rein :h can', ought in the fullness
of time to prove its usefullness.
it must, be admitted that it Is
•iiiiiarrassing when ;• progressive
i;:d a reactionist both alik-' cali
themselves republicans, or when a
rudir.il and a conservative both
claim to he democrats of the Jeffer
sonian type.
It is quite evident that there are
men who are repuhli -ans and men
who are democrats ar • much nearer
to on* another politically that- they
•.ire close to many in their >wi. pc li
iienl ranks.
it has long ago been observed
i,hat many democrats frr reaction
tiad many of :lie r • b •• ked
oft the map. and .. Jc
noerats finally claimed to !. ■ ultra
on greseive. they < < uld not hut look
■villi distrust upon sip k an alliance
is tiny were compelled to effect in
'loir own party.
Nothing has noon mote interest
»ni; to watt li than the eat.. ol
orne ef the progressives. Begintvng
as tribunes of the people to dare all
the powers ot tested interests and
.or progre .sivicm having doctrines
amazed mtl astounded old party po
titieians. nstead of absorbing the
party they ended by being absorbed
ivy the party. The hot blood of po
litical youth was progressive out it
lietame the cold blood of political
age lacking all enthusiasm for re
form.
There have been exceptions. Stub
an exception as Lafollette is for in
stance whoso progreosivism never
grows old. But it is such ar. excep
tion that proves the genera! rule
of icaettonary assimilation for all
progressives.
A National Party will no doubt
be a compromise party. It will iu
on« which will leave the leaction
ists in both the older parties ‘o lake
caTe of themselves, tt will, how
ever. draw the line where no line
now exists, to prevent enthusiastic
reformers fulling into the hop'dess
.schism ot socialism a"d the social
ist party.
it was thus that the Hull Moose
party functioned. But it was not
discovered until too late that Put]
Moose was nothing but IlooseveP
Ho was the spiritual head, but be
•was also the party doctrine. And
when lie saw that there was littv
chance of the public realizing the
tact he know many years belor
uh.it bis leadership was neeessaiy
.U> the safety of the country, lie
and left t lo
ci leader and
gracefully withdrew
Bull Moos'-rs without
without a dot trine.
A National Party will function
very use'ully in keeping the dear
people persuaded that socialism is
not necessary. That nationalistic
aims tan be achieved which will
whitewash capitalism anti gild the
rift in the present system will he
demonstrated by such a party ami
it will afford those superior persons
whose super nanhood is not yet
freely recognized an opportunity
of showing a credulous public how
the country can be saved.
It is rot impossible on the other
hand that there may he a general
rt-unking gver of the political par
ties and that the National Parti
would he the one which will identi
fy itselt with the most advanced
imperialism that big business holds.
It may be conceded that while
that the war be carried
most agrot
on for the purpose of making the
wot Id safe for democracy, there is
a number of prominent financial
and industrial leaders who intend
to use the war for the purpose of
promoting their industrial, financial
and commercial dominance through
on1 the world. They are reallv im
perialist.-. They have a world-wide
view of the possibilities of trade
and whet trade brings.
Til-- war enables them to solidify
th - foundations of their plans. They
would make the Pniti 1 .States a
country great and strong tor them
selves and tlu-ir ambitions. They
are not given to a candid expound
ing ct their views. Tiny carry on
tln-ir aims as patriotic altruists,
l'hi y day by -lay advertise, their loy
alty and tlu-ir patriotism to tlu-ni
sel'i . These would remove all
who arc disinterested upholders ot
the war as a war for tin safety ot
de hoc riu y a 1 use them And they
would eat. > 1 i. h a party which
would mask u.d.-r high sounding
I urp< sc-s the most ordinary hut tin
most ambition.- imperialism.
And more likely than not such
,i party will gatln-r it - If out of the
ar at nebulous condition ot
things in public- life. It will call it
adf may be tin- patriotic party oi
iln- war party or may content itsell
wi'li one oi the oiler party names,
as more eifci tiw for its purposes
The fact that it will absorb and
control one of the older parti -s. Is
rc - oil the mere why liter • w ill In
necessary another party.
Plainly just now tin n-omirn't
interest of the people, quit.- regard
less of the war, is divided into two
..mong the employing classes. This
is the liass of Big Business end
the class of Little Business.
Their interests as employers it
labor as against labor are identical,
but as businessmen their interests
are quite different. What is good
for one is often ruinous to ,hi
other. They have caused consider
-ible wrangling in the older parties.
They initiated the Populist move
ment as they carried on the pro
gressive movement. But the long
iug for t'te spoils that inspired their
loaders, reasonably enough, denied
permanence to them. Had the po
pulists or the progressives captured
the positions, they would have still
been extant .
But it may be doubted, in view
of the evolutionary trend of things,
whether any pattv devoted to the
interests of little business will
achieve any degree of permanence.
The shifting of the parties is based
upon the shifting of economic in
terests. The little fellow is being
shoved off the employing elass
ground and is compelled to struggle
among the workers. He is being
day by day eliminated, or being ab
sorbed as the employed one of the
interests which eliminated him as
an independent employer or as an
independent merchant in business.
The struggle against great com
hinations of capital. Big Business,
is marked simply by laws that
were not, enforced or which were
modified to make those very combi
nations possible. Thus the Sherman
Anti-Trust law did not prevent the
growth and stability of the trusts
at all and the public came to regard
them all as merely sops to cool oft
the public heat aroused by the,
trusts machinations.
They have been unhampered i)>
legislatures and by courts. They1
arc immune from punishment if noi ]
from prosecution, and the public
admits that it can do nothing. So
a ] arty devoted to interests which
have proved their impotenev alrea
dv is not likely to lie long lived.
But a parts vliiili would within its
fold organize interests alrea
dy economically sunreme and whicl
would have at its beck and call the
endless resources of such interests
is one chat is bound to be formid
able: formidable as to its tenure ol
offee. as to its political existence
and as to its power to enforce the
mandates of those interests of which
it would be the political expression.
Its strength will lie in the pow r
ful economic organization at its
ba k. And in this lies a strong
lessor for labor.
