People Divide
on Politics.

u
is subversivc of the best interests of the
state and the nation to permit the divi-
sion of the people into two rival political
camps, constantly at war with each other
In accordance with this theory the con-
stitution, although granting parliament
elected by universal suffrage, did not
make the ministers of the government
responsible to that parliament.
In all other considerable European gov
ernments whether constitutional mon
arches or republics, the affairs of gov
eminent arc administered by "A cabinet of
ministers directly responsible to parlfa-
mentary authority: ministers selected
from and by the parliamentary majority;
ministers who are bound 10 resign their
offices whenever parliamentary vote
shows them that they no longer have the
support IF a majority. The British gov
eminent is the best example of this sys-
tom. and the British parliament combines
in itself the highest legislative. executive
and judicial functions. Under the British
constitution the existence of two princi-
pal political parties has been held TO be
necessary.
The trainers OF the American Constitu-
ton sought to separate the three chief
functions of government, and to that end
intrusted all administrative duties to the
President and his cabinet. wholly ire
sponsible to Congress. The United States
government was not to be government
by parties. This was one of the most
particular desires of Washington, and he
sought TO avoid the division of the people
INTO two political camps by inviting into

the two opposing schools of political
thought But the Americans wer- En-

Landlords Have
Their Own Way.

the landlords had
their way. and step by step the govern
ment yielded before the conservative-cler-
zeal majority and the new budget was
passed. During the tendency of the
debates Chancellor Won Buelow offered
his resignation to the emperor. but it
was refused. The emperor was determin-
ed not to give his assent to any pro-
ceeding which gave color to the preten-
sions OF the reichstag TO control the per-
sonnet of the imperial ministry.
Immediately after the finance bill was
passed the refchstag session was closed
and DIR. Won Bethmann-H ollweg was ap-
pointed imperial chancellor to succeed
Won Buelow. The reichstag met again
last November, and was organized by the
conservatives and clericals. the national
liberals and radicals declining to vote in
the organization. Not daring to repeat
the experiment OF the bloc. and not pos
sessing an actual majority in cordial SYM
pathy with the government, the new
chancellor decided upon a program which
at once absolutely denied the principle of
ministerial responsibility, and refused to
recognize political parties as factors in
government.
He said that the government would
stand aloof from parties and groups or
parties: that the government Of Germany
was not government by party: that
governmental measures would be SUBJ
mitted to tn ereichstag. but that he was
not disposed to define the constellation OF
parties which would support those meas
ures. He said that the political crisis
over the taxation bill had made no
change In German institutions He de-
clared that radicalism strove to divide
Germany into two political camps but
the existence of such a dualisn, was only
fiction devised for political party pur-
poses.

BERLIN. August 9.-Deep-seated polit-
ical discomfort is responsible for the pre-
monitory rumblings of political revolu-
ton in Germany. The people are angry
with their government. and there is more
political agitation in Germany now than
at any time since the formation OF the
empire. As is usually the case. this I'M
rest was caused primarily by the action
OF the government in adding to the bur-
den of taxation. and IL has taken the
usual form OF an agitation for giving the
people greater power in the government.
Involved in the complexities of the Ger
man constitution, and obscured by the
multiplicity of political party organiza-
lions. il is difficult TO describe the exact
nature Of the pending political battle.
However. the chief aim of all the progress
sive elements in imperial politics Is to
change the working constitution so that
the government will be responsible to the
parliament elected by the people. In
Prussia. tho dominating state of the
federation, the progressive parties de-
mand revision of the electoral system

equal. suffrage. Imperial politics and
pruSSian politics arc completely inter-
mingled that ii is difficult IL separate the
issue of ministerial responsibility from
the problems of Prussian suffrage re-
form.

The general elections of 1907 resulted In
a heavy majority against the policies OF
the government. Al
Heavy Majorities though the election
had been ordered by
Against F0llcy the emperor for the
express purpose of obtaining the popular
sense, there was no disposition TO sub
NIT to the electoral veto. Chancellor
Won Buelow. by a series OF dexterous
compromises and generous promises,
built UP for himself a majority composed
of an incongruous coalition of the con-
servatives, the national liberals and the
radicals This threw into opposition the
socialists. the centrists. or Roman Catho-
lie clericals, the Poles and other minor
political divisions. The parties compris-
ing the bloc had a clear majority OF
the seats i'm the reichstag. although they
pclled in the aggregate more than a mil
lion fewer votes than the combined par
tics in 0Dpositicn.
The alliance of the conservatives anu
the radicals in support Of the government
was as ludicrous as was the union OF
the clerical center and the socialists
in opposition. This artificial and incon-
gruous coalition was maintained, how
in 19OS. when the government submitted
to the reichstag q bill providing for an
increase in taxation estimated to yield
an additional annual revenue of $12o,-
100000. When the essential subject OF
taxation came up for consideration 1t was
impossible to hold together the diverse in
terestS of the bloc. The new taxes as
proposed fell heavily on the landlords.
and the Prussian agrarians, forming the
tory core of the conservative party. de-
serted the government. After several
months spent in wrangling. the national
liberals. the radicals and the socialists
withdrew from the committee, the chair
man resigning. and all refusing TO take
any further part in the proceedings.

The attitude of the reichstag toward
the government was manifest a few
months later when

ministerial responsibility, and making the
chancellor responsible for all Of his Of
fetal acts, and also for all the acts and
documents made by the emperor. At the
same time the popular agitation over the
Prussian suffrage legislation was so great
as to overshadow the ministerial issue.
1t is not believed that the present chan
cellor has either the ability or the cour-
age necessary to make a success OF his
radical experiment in governing the en-
pre without regard to the will or the ac-
ton of its legislative department. 1t is
certain, however, that he has succeeded
in precipitating the political agitation
Of the ministerial question. and that that
agitation will continue until the problem
Is solved.

FORMER AUDITOR READ
SUES FOR DAMAGES
Claims Twenty thousand Dol
lars from {. S. BIantOn and
Daily Press, Inc.

Former City Auditor John w. Read,
through his attorney, William C. Stu
art. yesterday morning filed in the
clerks office of the Corporation Court
notice of suit for $4,000 damages
against The Daily Press, Incorporate
ed. and <. Stuart Blanton, who Is
president of The DailysPress, Incor-
porated, and cashier of Schmelz Bros.
Bank. Papers in the case were serv-
ed on the defendants at once by De-
putty City Sergeant Gray.
The plaintiff has not yet fled his
declaration and his attorney yester-
day refused to discuss the alleged
grounds for the suit, but it is gener-
ally understood that the action is a
result of the fling OF report upon
the records of the auditors Office by
Mr.. Blanton, acting in the capacity OF
an expert accountant in the employ
of the finance committee of the city
council. The Daily Press, Incorporate
cd, is supposed to have been made
a defendant because the newspaper
published by that corporation printed
an account of the meating of the f.
nance committee at which the &C.
countant's report was submitted.
Mr.. Read was defeated for re-elec-
ton as auditor this year and was sue
ceeded in that Office by Christian K
Messick on August I. The finance
committee employed Mr. Blanton to
audit the books of the auditors Office
for a period of three years, ending
