for justice and impartiality have been

tagcs OF peace, or the asking OF more

conilicting must have been great fl

But with both sides asking for judg-

given jurisdiction, as il we're When
the German Emperor asked rcbukc for

The Allies View.
lBy Alfred W. Bryce


The difference in language has been
dwclt upon as a principle reason why
the general public opinion in America
Is unSyspathctic toward Germany. In
the United States, difference in speech
makes less difference than in any 9TH
er country in the world for in that
country many races abide and many
languages are spoken. \ common Ian
guagc did not win for the English
sympathy in the Bocr war, nor has it
prevented the taking OF sides in the
Home Rule struggle Of England and
Ireland. 1t is not the German language
which stands between Germany and
tho American pCopl" now. Rathcr II
is inability Of democratic America TO
sympathlze with the aims and pur-
poses OF German miltorism. The
idcalism OF German classic literature
cannot be rccuncilcd with modern
Germany militari2m; While every DO
l,cal instinct is offended AT the
taiscr's assertion OF Divine Right.
There are few international uucs-
tiona about which England and Amer
lea are in complete accord. The opn-
ion expressed today by the American
press is csscl3 3ialIy American, not
English. Every political situatioh, Tor
cign or domestic is measured by the
American standards OF democracy, by
their traditions and principles OF gov
crnmcnt. They have no other meth
cd of Judging and dctcrmininS, but
the Declaration OF independence, the
Bill Of Rights, the Constitution and
tho Emancipation Proclamation. If
the American opinion is almost who'll
~ antagonistiC to the German cause
the differences OF political principle
and political ideaism are the cause,
not race or language.

In at least one spot in Washington

1t is when someone attacks senatorial

rush to the defense. 1t is a question
OF the spells of office, and both fac
tions join to preserve their old privi-
lege of grabbing all they can. Each
side make common cause.
Pres't Wilson differs. He is respon-
sible for his administration and he
wants agents whom ne knows and can
trust. The senators want their close
party friends. those who have rem
dered them some assistance in their
campaigns.
1t is strange that this conflict should
arise in the democratic party. Here is
"A federal appointment which the state
party tries To control The whole
theory upon which senatorial courtesy
is founded in this matter is states

a writer in the Atlantic Monthly,
William ID. Parkinson, makes an in
teresting, but impracticable, sugges-
ton on the subject.
II is estimated that fifty thou
sand new statutes are turned loose
every year by the various Iawmak-
ing bodies Of the United States, and
lit goes without saying that the great
majority of these statutes are Who'll
~ unnecessary. and in many in
stances are absolutely bad
Mr. Parkinson says with truth
that the output of crude and i'm
perfect legislation must be reduced
in quantity and improved in quail
ity or it will cease to be regarded
ami respected as law. How this ten
dency can be checked he does not
know. He suggests, however, that
the greater number OF new laws en-
acted be made self-repealing.
Commenting upon this, we have
from the Battle Greek (Mich.) En-
quirer, the following:
one thing that might be done
that is certainly practicable, and
that is to abolish state legisla-
lures. for absolutely the same
reason that common councils are
being abolished by cities. and
place the state. under the commits
sion form of government, with
party politics entirely eliminated,
and II would not be long before a
state like Michigan would be a
very desirable one for people TO
move into, instead of being, as
now, a desirable one to move out
Of. on account of the burdens Of
its present system of lawmaking.
Which is more or less surprising,
considering the source. Battle Creek
has a commission government with
political parties entirely eliminated,
and in the hands of despOtic mayor,
one Of the most irresponsible govern
ments, so far as concerns the will of
people, that is possible of conception.
We note too, that the Enquirer is
fighting this mayor. tooth and toe
nail, in his despotism. Is it because he
is despotic against the wishes of the
Enquirer alone that it is fighting him?
We wot not, but the point is not clear.
To our mind, the best form of govern
ment is that which is the least respon-
sive to the will of those who would
abuse it, and that, the commission
form of government. whether with or
without the recall, has been proven
not to be, though the recall makes it
Jrifle moresO.
No. we are not quite ready as yet
10 counsel giving up the checks and
balances of separate legislative
houses, and distinct executive, legis-
lative and judicial branches Of govern
ment, in the affairs of state. Too
much power, understandable in the
hands of one man. or just a few men.

posed TO European mOnarchism.
