iS'hl
am sure you and the readers OF
The Citizen will he glad to know
something about our great Extension
Drive toward the Sunny Southland
We began our work at Grays. where
We received most cordial welcome
from the Trospers and Ellisons,
students at Berea, and the kindest
treatment from all the good citizens
before we left.
From Grays We went to Pleasant
View. July Fourth was a great day
at this place. Everyone for miles
around gathered early in fine
grove not far from our camp for a
picnic. Mr.. Davidson, the music
MASTER of this section staged a fine
patriotic drill and other interesting
features.
Mr.. Dishon. a friend Of John G.
Fee. told me he had been associated
with Mr.. Fee in some Of his early
preaching tours. and declared that
John Fee was one of the bravest,
most eloquent preachers of vital
Christianity and defenders of the
rights of black and white alike that
he had ever known.

Austrians Urged To Desert Germans.
Zurich.-The Austrian Reichsrath
was thrown into an uproar when the
former Czech Minister, Herr Praschek.
declared the hate of the entire world
was directed not against Austria, but
against Germany, and that Austria
should detach herself from her ally.
says a Vienna dispatch. How are we
to obtain peace" demanded Herr
Praschek, III we cling to the German
side? Must We continue to sacrifice
our interests to the expansion Of Ger.
many? Must we continue to submit
to the German militarism that has
drawn us into this war;" The speaker
declared the Czech deputies had been
imprisoned for attempting to bring
about an alliance Of Austria with Rus
STA and France. and added that II they
we're to be stigmatised as traitors
then all Czechs who believed similarly
should be so stigmatized.

DEMOCRACY AND EFFICIENT
GOVERNMENT
Doctor Robertson

A good government must have two
essential merits, il must give TO the
people political rights and it must
provide efficient administration of
public affairs.
BY political rights we mean, that
the people must have control and
final say in the management of af-
fairs. BY administrative efficiency,
We mean that things must be done
smoothly and without undue delay
of time. The frictions must be re-
duced To the lowest point.
Monarchies are often very strong
from the standpoint Of administra-
tive efficiency and weak in the mat
ter Of political rights. Democracies
are likely Ia be strong in political
rights and weak in administrative
efficiency. Germany is today an ex-
ample Of a nation that is strong In
administration and weak in poll
teal rights. Our own country, while
strong in political rights. shows
elements Of weakness in admins
trative efficiency.
II might seem at first sight that
these two things could not exist in
one government in the nature OF
the case. Such is however not
necessarily the truth. Democra-
cies have come into existence as
a protest against mOnarchies and
naturally they tend for time to
extremes. Thus the struggle of the
3 American colonies against England
i'm the days " King George ILL.,, led
the people To suspect any centrali-
cation of power. in the hands of one
man or few. From this we have
scarcely departed yet.
Were this not the case our
President would not meet so much
opposition in seeking To gain the
administrative control that is ne
cesSary 10 meet the present emer-
gencies. Circumstances, however,
are forcing us tn entrust him with
mower that would make our an
cestors turn in their graves with
fear.
| I'm the days in which We live, we
need t. draw this distinction, that
Capitalization of control for admin
strativr purposes in a democracy
is very different from the same
thing in a monarchy. II is different
because political rights have become
81 firmly established that there is
little danger of loss of liberty.
II is always we'll, however, even
in democracy to be vigilant and TO
bring into existence every sane
device that will help 10
keep the final control in the hands
If the people. We are committed
10 democracy in our country, we
love il. and believe in it. We ex-
meet To see il extended to all bran
ches of the human family in time
and we need not fear TO commit
ourselves Fundamentally to this
cause.
The fixtures and faults Of de-
mocracy are temporary and we shall
he able To cure them by more de-
mocracy. But meanwhile, let us seek
to understand more fully what de-
mocracy is, what il demands OF us
and what we can do to make 1t more
perfect.
