KIND HE PICKS, WHEN WE GO TO A MOVIE AMD TN6Y ME EVEN A HITLER MUST BOW TO DEMOCRACY Sole significance of the farcial election by which Chancellor Hitler gained an expression of his nation's approval for the things he has done is that it proves that even a dictator must step out now and then and make a bow in the direction of democracy.

An election in which only one side is permitted to do any campaigning or put up any candidates really can't mean very much. But the mere fact that this election was held at. all indicates that not even Hitler cares to proceed without at least tfointf through tho form of finding out how his people feel about things. Nobody needs to be told that democracy has hit some pretty big bumps since the war. Jn one country after iiuiwui, in Italy, in Germany, and ci.scv/hcre dictatorship has come into style.

Both the ultra-radical and the ultra-conservative have grown distrustful of democracy. It has become fashionable to say that popular government is an out-of-date idea. And in all this we in America have a peculiar interest. Not only do we ourselves live in one of the surviving democracies; democracy itself is, to all intents and purposes, our invention. We set up the first great democracy; we forced the world to examine the idea; we were at the bottom of.the when.

rto today we cannot be indifferent to the steady trend away from democracy which the world is exhibiting; nor can we fail to find something extremely interesting in these ridiculous referenda which dictators like Hitler feel it necessary to hold every so often. For such votes, absurd as they may be, nevertheless point to the solidity of democracy's basic idea that there can be no secure government which does not operate with the consent of those it governs. There can. be no unalloyed autocracy any more. Even a Hitler must go through the motions of seeing what is on the voters' minds.

And that, dark as democracy's prospects may seem, is highly important. The idea which is democracy's foundation stone has been accepted even by the enemies of democracy. If we in America continue to keep the light of political liberty burning dearly, democracy yet will regain the ground it has lost.

Phone S03. French Republic First To Declare Slavery illegal Negro Cook Brought Before French Court Freed The French people claim with pride that their country was the first in Europe to have chattel slavery declared by a court to be unlawful. Prom Paris comes the story of the famous case. Denmark was the first European nation to declare by legislative action that nil human beings on its soils were free. That was in 1792 and the law took effect ten years later.

But the legal case of John Boucaux, who was set free by a French court in the time of Louis XV came a half-century earlier. Boucaux had been brought to France from Martinique, in the West Indies, by a Monsieur de Verdelin, whom the negro served as a cook. Remarking finally that he was in a free country, Bou- caux demanded wages. His master's reply was to have him put in prison at Paris. Boucaux was liberated after because there was nd law to fit ftft case, and ha thereupon sued his master for ten years' arrears of wages.

Since he came from a French colony, the suit had to be heard by the judges of the Admiralty court, who were compelled to detain nearly three months while they considered what their decision should be. It was victory for Jean Boucaux, who was declared to have been free from the moment he stepped on French soil and to be "a free man from now on." Asked on the witness strand what his occupation was, Robert Oillov- ray of Chicago replied Typewriters Cleaned! We clean, repair and overhaul typewriters, cash registers, adding machines.
