Vol. X I I I O.J-r> HOLLYBURN P.O., WEST VANCOUVER, B.C*, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1938 No. 11 DEMOCRACY rtd .""Demobracy has never been trlbd," That is the statemejit heard time and again these last lew years whenever our social and financial troubles are up for discussion.V Aad curi­ ously it is regarded generally as a sufficient excuse for the existence of these troubles. Yet in Canada full sovereignty is vested in and exercised by the people a t large. They have the power through their votes to select tho^e representatives who together form the Parliament of Canada and the Pro­ vincial Legislatures, the city and municipal councils, as these assemblies through* their legislative, enactments and the de­ partmental niachmery under their control have the power to , rule the oountry in accordance with the will of the people as expressed by their votes. If these representatives, having been given the power, do not use it or misuse it, then they can be or ought , to be voted out a t the end of their short, term of office. T hat is where the sovereignty of the people comes in,,and th a t is why, when we^X^aiiadians say democraejr has never been tried, we only condemn ourselves as unfit for democ- racy* Instead of a good excusej it*is an admission of failure on our part, for which we have .no alibi. J t is a very tr ite and a very true saying th a t under defnocracy a people get ju s t as good government and only as good governmentTas they deserve.
