THEORETICAL INDEPENDENCE
OF THE GERMAN STATES
vI-THE GERMAN ADVANCE

cratic and that the German people all
do not have the benefit Of demo
institution is the fault of the particu-
lar state. and not of the federal gov
eminent.
Composition of German Empire.
The German empire consists of four
Kingdoms. six grand duchies, five Ouch
les, seven principalities. three repub-
lies ard the imperial territory of AL
sace-Lorraine. Under the constitu-
ton these states form an eternal
union for the protection of the realm
and the promotion of the welfare of
the German people" The supreme ex-
ecutive power is vested in the king Of
Prussia, who in this capacity, bears
the title Of 'Deutscher Kaiser,s or
German emperor. The kaiser repre-
sents the empire information and
can declare war if defensive. and
make peace, as well as enter into
treaties with other nations and ap-
point and receive ambassadors But
when war is not defensive, the kaiser
must have the consent of the bundles
rat, or federal council, which. together
with the reichstag, constitutes the
Legislative authority of the empire.
The emperor is commander-in-chief
of the whole German army, but only
exercises this power when the empire
is at war. In time of peace the kings
of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurttemberg
retain their sovereign rights as the
heads of their respective armies. In
time of peace the Bavarian ARMY is
entirely separate from the rest Of the
German army. and falls under com
mand of the kaiser only when mob
ilized for war. The Bavarian king
dom, however. must vote a war budg-
ct equal to a certain fixed percentage
Of the imperial budget. The kings OF
SaxJny and Wurttemberg have not
quite so much independence but their
armies form separate corps and the
kings are recognized as commanders
in-chief, except in the event of war
Their army budgets, however, are
prepared in Berlin by the Prussian
war office.
The Bundexrat and Reichstas.
The IS individual states are repre-
scented in the bundesrat or federal
council, while the people Of all the
empire are represented directly in the
reichstag, just as the American states
are represented in the federal senate
and the American people in the fed
eral house of representatives. But the
states are not equal in power in the
bundesrat, as they are in the Aneri-
can senate. The kingdom of Prussia
has II members. The kingdom of Ba-
varia has six, SaxOny four and Wurt-
tenberg four. The grand duchies of
Baden and Hesse have three members
each; the grand duchy of Mecklen-
berg-Schwerin and the duchy Of Bruins
wick have two members each:> and all

Pickups From Everywhere

Have you noticed" asked a real es-
tate man, who is a lover of dogs, that
the dog catchers make most>of their
rounds in the section of the city north
of the tracks, where most of the people
have valuable dogs, and scarcely ever
get below the tracks, where the streets
are full of worthless ours. I wonder
if the fact that all the dog catchers
are Mexicans and the population below
the tracks is principally of that ma
tionality has anything to do with it?
The mayor might look into it."
"Have you noticed" asked c. P. Hos
letter, how honest the people are
through this western country? In trav-
cling you can go from place to place,
and you never see the room doors
locked in the hotels, although the eff
fects of the occupants are usually scat
tered about the room In many cases
the people sleep with the doors wide
open, and where, it is possible, in this
summer weather, they often sleep in
the Railways, or even in the small towns
out in the yard on cots or the grass.
You can get a man to drive you across
the country and If he needs anything
ne does not hesitate 10 go into a house
and get it. Sometimes he leaves note
so the absent owner will know who has
been there when he returns. And as
for gates, a man never leaves a gate
otherwise than he found it. If he finds
it closed, he closes it; if he finds it

\ bunch of passengers were discuss
ing the Pullman rates in the smokin s
compartment of a train coming into
Ell Paso. One man said the rates ought
TO be cut because no person ought to
have to pay as much for an upper berth
as a lower; the lower was much the
better service and the man who had to
climb into the upper ought TO have
some recompense; he ought to be able
to save at least enough TO buy his
breakfast next morning.
Another agreed and advanced the ar
gument that a reduction would grea tly
simplify matters; that many would be
their cheapnesS and this would leave
lowers a plenty for those who cared
to pay for them. -
The conductor listened to IL all un-
til asked what he thought OF II; then
he spoke words Of wisdom He did not
favor any change in the rates. Whether
he had been coached or not, he ad-
vanced some mighty good arguments
against a reduction Of the uppers.
I'm the first place" he declared, "the
reduction of the price OF uppers will
bring a different class of people into
the PullmansN people We call
them This class of people would be
Objectionable to those who now travel
in Pullmans- The 'exclusiveness' of the
Pullmans would De done away with en-
tirely- This would be the greatest
drawback 1t would bring foreigners of
the lower class into the PuHmanS and
would make travelling far less desirable
to the people who now look upon the
Pullman car as the only comfort they
get on the road. Now q man can put
his wife or daughter or mother on
Pullman car and know that she is go
ing TO have proper company; she has
a degree Of exelusivenesS and her trav-
cling companions are refined to a larger
extent than II the cars were cheaper
and the riff raff came in for the
upper berths.

Why an Upper Berth Is Best ,
and Should Not Be Cheapest
What a Pullman Conductor Says

"As for the desirability OF the uppers
they have many features Of advantage
over the lowers. and / have many pas
sengers who actually prefer them. For
the man or woman who does not eS-
pect TO get up during the night, the up
per is the best from point Of comfort.
It is little hard TO get into an upper,
but. once in, you are away from the
noise of the car wheels that so often
disturb people in the lowers Then,
too, you are away from the window
in case OF an accident The glass in
the windows breaking and falling into
the berths Injuries more people in wrecks
from this danger in the uppers.
Then in case of a wreck, the cush-
ions which form your bed in the lower
are sure to be thrown out OF place II
the car turns over. and they might pin
you against the bottom of the upper.
There is never any danger of the upper
closing up, and the bed on which you
are sleeping is always stationary; you
have a solid wooden bottom. whereas
the bed for the bottom berth is made
up Of seats turned crosswise.
Again, there is a very stout girder
that runs along the top of every Pull
man car on each side, directly over the
upper berths, and this seldom if ever
breaks when a car turns over. while
the side of the car is liable TO be crush
ed in on the occupant of a lower.
Then, again. You have an iron pole
that supports the curtain above an up
per, which you can grasp in case OF
accident and keep from falling. In a
lower you are apt to be tossed out into
the aisle and beaten about with suit
cases and the cushions forming the beds
in the lowers.
There are many other advan-
tages Of an upper. Give me an upper
every time A Pullman conductor sell
dom gets to sleep in a lower and most
of US would rather sleep Yin an upper
than in lower. I prefer 1t any time"

- ONE people are blessed with the
tact that teaches them what to
- say; others with the tact that
teaches them what not 10 say; and
some very fortunate people are blessed
with both kinds of tact
Never TO say the wrong thing is a
negative quantity and makes popular
fly of an indefinite sort.
The people who know Just when to
say the right thing have the charming
knack of making others feel at ease
and pleased with themselves.
Kindness is the foundation of facts.
If your chief desire IS to make others
happy you will rarely say the wrong
thing.
One great secret in being tactful is
to put yourself in the others place
how would you feel in a ne situation
or predicament.
Don't try to be smart or to make
others feel cheap.
You may have keen sense of hu-
NOR. but don't crafty it at the expense
Of another's discontinue.
The term, Il told you So" is not in
the tactful woman's vocabulary
Tact is royal quality and happy the
person who is endowed with it.
At the same time, il can be cultivated
if you care 10 take the trouble
The tactful person does not discrimi-
nate in friendship or favors; every one
is worthy of kindness and considera-
ton. Beauty is a great gift; but tact
is a greater one
1t shows Lack of Thought.
Sometimes you see a mere baby who
possesses the rare gift of tact and

! II ERIN. Germany. Aug 1o.-Liks
the United States the German
J 49, empire is a federation of semi
| Independent states, and as such has a
dual form of government in which
there is sharp distinction between fed
/ eral and state jurisdictions. Accord
ing to the constitution of 1871 the en-
pire is a confederate league under the
hereditary presidentship of the king of
Prussia. who holds the title of Ger
man emperor. The imperial govern
ment possesses only delegated powers
and is not sovereign. The 26 states of
the German empire retain for them
selves a greater independence, in the
DRY, than do the 46 states of the Amer
lean union.
Government Not Uniform.
Unlike the United States. the Ger
man constitution does not impose upon
each state of the federation a uni
form system of government. nor does
it guarantee equality among the states
by giving them equal representation
in any branch of the government, such
as is given by the American cOnstitu-
tiOn in composing the federal senate of
two senators from each state The
kingdom of Prussia is the preponder-
ating power among the states of the
German fedora ttOn, and in practice al
though not in theory, Prussia controls,
the politics Of the imperial govern
ment. Yet notwithstan ding the Prus-
sian dominance, it is important II
keep in mind the distinctions between
federal and state governments in Ger
many and, especially, to give Prussia
a separate place in all discussions of
German politics.
Creation of the Empire.
The ancient German empire-the
Holy Roman empire-which came into
existence when Charlemnage was
crowned kaiser at Rome on Christ
end in 1906. In the varied history of
that elder empire, Austria was the
most important factor. In the new
empire Austria is not included, and
the old Austrian captaincy of the Ger
man people has passed 10 Prussia
From 1906 when Napoleon destroyed
the old German order until 1915,
when Napoleon himself was destroyed,
the confederation of the Rhine rep
resented the ghost of German union
From 1916 until 1856 there was the
German bund in which Prussia grad
ually grew in stature and power. In
1866 there succeeded, under William L
and Bismarck. the North German con-
federation. Then came the SUGGEST"
war against France and the foundation
of the present German empire. The
present constitution affords the only
rational basis of union evolved by the
German people in a thousand years.
The constitution is extremely demo-
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-08-10

the other II grand duchies, duchies,
principalities and republics have only
one member each. The reichsland OF
Alsace-Lorraine has no full member,
but is represented by commissioners
without votes similar TO the terrftor-
ial delegates IN the American congress.
The reichstag is composed of 397
deputies. chosen from particular con-
stituencies, based upon the theory OF
one deputy for every 1864 inhabit-
ants. As a matter Of fact this ap-
pOrtionment was made many years ago.
and now is hopelessly in error. Prus-
STA, having more than half Of the total
population of the empire, has 236 mem
bers, leaving only 161 for all the other
% states. Prussia thus has a clear
majority in the .reichstag OF IS votes
over all the rest OF the empire
Choosing Legislators.
Members Of the reichstag are chosen
by direct secret ballot, universal man
hood suffrage being guaranteed by the
constitution The federal legislature
has the right to legislate for the en-
pire IN all matters pertaining TO cfti-
zenship and foreign relations; customs
duties and commerce, including excise
taxes; regulation Of coinage and the
issue Of paper money; banking regula-
tions; patents and copyrights; affairs
relating TO the merchant marine and
railway laws, except in Bavaria; gen
eral legislation regarding the law OF
obligations, criminal law, commercial
law, and the law Of exchange; the

test sights you ever saw and shows
that Ell Paso is a real city. The street
