Majorities have proved themselves poor rulers; easily controlled by those clever enough, and wealthy enough to pay the advertising rates for propaganda; incapable of choosing able leaders, or making sound decisions on any but the broadest questions of policy. When the Machiavellian doctrines of the obscurantist replace the high ideals of democracy, small wonder that college undergraduates lose interest.

The Antwerp carillon, although much smaller, is at a height of 270 feet, and these bells should be in a tower at least 300 feet high to get the best music...
