WELLS oRrrIomEs DEMOCRACY.

Oh. G. Wells in the New Repuhlcl
The war has shown the weakness OF
the democratic state Il is no use de-
nying that the central powers were
not only better prepared for this war
at the outset but that on the whole
they have met the occasions of the
war as they have so far arisen with
much more collective intelligence, will
power, and energy than any Of the al
lies, not even excepting France, They
have succeeded not merely In meeting
enormous military requirements bet
ter, but in keeping the material side
Of their national life steadier under
greater stresses 1t is idle for this
writer to pretend 10 think that the
United states would make any better
showing in this matter than Great
Britain
The British government has been
excellent in argument and admirable
in rhetoric, but il has been slack, in
ldolent, and unready in all matters Of
material organization; 1t has muddled
and wasted national feeling, and il has
been manifestly afraid of the press
and oversensitive to public clamor 1t
has shown all the merits and failures
one might have expected from BODY
OF political lawyers trained in the
arts Of making things seem right
wary ana prepared to wait and see
what chances the adversary Will give,
and as incapable Of practical fore
sight. as remote from the business Of
making real things go right as en-
closed nuns.
If the present governments Of
Great Britain and the United States
are the best sort Of governments that
democracy can produce, then democ-
racy is bound If not this time then
next time or the time after to be COM
pletely overcome ana superseded by
some form Of authoritative state or
ganization

The drouth Of several months in
certain sections of this district has
seriously affected business prospects.
Several prominent farmers state that
II has been the worst in their expert
ence OF over forty years.
The effect on stock has been deplor-
able Thousands Of sheep, goats and
ostriches have persisted for lack Of
food and water The losses in cattle
have been unusually high This will
greatly affect the quality Of both wool
and ostrich feathers in such districts.
Several irrigation schemes have
been inaugurated in this district re-
Gently the principal on Sunday and
Fish rivers. both Of which have been
nearly dry for considerable period,
and the irrigation burrows have been
useless.
1t seems probable that water com
.servation will be necessary to provide
for a certain. water SUPPLY in times Of
drouth Plans are Being considered
and decisions win soon be reached as
10 necessary measures such plans
will increase the cost Of water supply
which is already a fairly heavy charge
against landowners in the Irrigated
sections
