	Democracy, n.:
		A government of the masses. Authority derived
	through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression.
	Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is
	communistic... negating property rights. Attitude toward
	law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether
	it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion,
	prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to
	consequences. Result is demagogism, license, agitation,
	discontent, anarchy.
