trouble was the lack of personal
security was always ascertained
when shortage existed in the
office. At the time the bond was

pinch came the party had nc

pUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAW IN FRANCE.

MANY Americans cannot understand the Drey-
fus case They cannot, that is to say, under
STA nd how the War Office and the GENERAL Stan
of the Army and other administrative depart
ments can disregard the common law OF the
land and defy the courts Of law, to which all
citizens are supposed to be amenable, and how
Presidents and Prime Ministers and other
statesmen of authority and high character can
complacently acQuiesce in their 80 doing. Such
things could certainly not occur In this country,
and it seems extraordinary. all but incredible,
that they should occur in any country that lays
claim to civilization. On the other hand, there
are many Frenchmen who cannot understand
the surprise and disapproval which Americans
express The conduct Of the case seems to
them the most natural and proper thing in the
world. and for Americans to fail to understand
It and to inveigh against 1t seems most extraOr-
binary Nor does this apparent contradiction
imply that either the Americans who cannot I'M
derstand the Frenchmen or the Frenchmen who
cannot understand the American lack Of under
standing are insane or Obtuse. 1t merely fur
nshes another example Of the difference be-
tween the points of view occupied by different
nations.
In this case 1t Is interesting to observe that the
different points Of view, almost Numerically
opposite to each other, have been reached by en-
tlrely logical progress from one and the same
starting-point. The latter point was provided
by Montesquieu exactly a century and n half
ago In his magnum opus de rEsprit des Lois"
He set forth the desirability OF making the
three great departments OF gOvernment-the ex-
ecutive. the legislative and the judcial-entlrely
separate, independent and coordinate. The
principle was accepted and adopted by our Con-
stituton- makers, with the results which we now
enjoy and which seem to us 80 much matter
of course that many Of us cannot understand
how any other system can exist. With their
Ang,o-saxon traditions Of common law, COM
mon alike to tho highest and the lowlest, they
made the judiciary independent Of the Legislat-
ure and Administration and even gave it power
to review the legality Of their acts and to CON-
pei them to subordinate themselves In all things
to the law The French also accepted and

The fourth representation OF Die Wakire" this
season was given at the Metropolitan Opera House

question is not so much whether Dreyfus Is
