There would also be required a clerk to keep the accounts, and what 1 haul said would al-'o apply to him. As there arc sealawyers among the sailors, sn there would he lawyers among these bootmakers, wdio would be " all jiw and no wnik." These lawveis bv doing no woik, or almost none, would leduco the outfit of work done and so do mi at the hard working man's expense, then there, would be la/.y iii?n, these also would do less work at the nvpuii«u of the others, also there would be men of bounce who would be all bounce, put little wmlr, and this would be'it the expense of the quiet man. and last but not le.st their wives would all 'piaire!, one woman would have a better bonne.*-, I Inn the other; the other would resell!, tin's and them would be ructions. Mr Editor, i.liem must be a master power in any bnsi:i».-.-i or lh.it business will go tn tin'. '.-.:-. Tne Cooperative Association of the Waikato farmers is an example that without a controlling newer n business could m.t .-■leu-od, f very shareholder in that cine'in wis a master, and the manager, who ought to li-ive had supreme power was a servant at the me»cy of the shaieholders, who, as a rule, kn»w no morn about business tnan Ldo of Creek m- Ifehrew. And tli it is how democracy will fail as a governing power. Jsy democracy all ate masters, and when that is so the outcome will bo confusion and disorder. It is an utter impossibility that a country could bo honestly and wisely governed if property is not re-pre-ented so a.s to have a share in the Government. It is a tine hustings saying and goes down well to say that man must have the vote and not sheep, but without sheep, also having a vote, the governing of man will fail. Hahapepe.
