The outstanding features of the body of democracy are the brain, the heart and the hand. With the brain of democracy goes the right to think. With the heart goes the right to live. With the hand goes the right to be waited on. With these three rights go three greater rights, or three duties, some people call them. With the right to think goes the right to let others think. With the right to live goes the right to let others live. With the right to be waited on, goes the right to serve. To call the right to serve a duty is an understatement. I doubt if the people who have succeeded best and who have really attained the largest amount of their three greater rights, have thought of them very often as duties. I end this chapter with the three questions America is in the world to-day to ask, to find out her own personal three answers to in the sight of the nations. I am putting with the three questions the three answers I am hoping to hear my country give, before I die. What determines what proportion of his right to think, each man shall have? His power to get attention and let others think. What determines what proportion of his right to live, each man shall have? His power to let others live. What determines what proportion of his right to be waited on, each man shall have? His power to serve. These are the principles of the new League--the voluntary, spontaneous organization of the men and women of America to meet the emergency in America of our war with ourselves, on the same scale and in the same spirit as the Red Cross met the emergency of our war with other nations, an organization which I hope to show ought to be formed, and which I am rising to make the motion to form, in this book. I put these principles forward as the by-laws of America's faith in itself, as the principles that should govern the brain, the heart and the hand of each man in a democracy, toward all other men and that should govern all other men toward him--the skeleton of the body of the people. VIII THREE RIGHTS OF MAN IN A DEMOCRACY I--THE RIGHT TO THINK I am entitled to one one-hundred millionth of President Wilson's time in a year. 1/100,000,000th. If I want 2/100,000,000ths of President Wilson's time in a year I must show him why. I must also show the other 99,999,999 people who think I deserve no more than my regular 1/100,000,000th why I should have two. Not allowing for the President's sleeping nights, my precise share of his time would be one-third of a second once a year. Why should I have two-thirds of a second? I have to show. The success of democracy as a working institution turns on salesmanship--upon every man's selling himself--his right to the attention of the Government.
