Domination Of the Air

ly followed by similar revolutions
among our enemies, with similar

Such IDEAS eventually led to the

most severely rebuked by the gov,
eminent and the great majority OF
the nation. But the army's illusions

THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Doctor Robertson

we read much in the papers in
these days about the German Chan
cellor and ought 20 realize more fully
how important a position IL is. On
his shoulders must fall the RESPONSE
bility for everything that happens
in the Empire.
The Chancellor ranks next to the
Emperor in position and authority.
He is appointed by the Emperor and
is responsible to him alone. He can
retain his Office as long as he enjoys
the confidence Of the Emperor and
when, for any reason, he loses il,
he is displaced to make way for
another who can do his masters will
more acceptably.
The Chancellor has a leading part
in Legislation for the Empire. He
presides ovef the Bundesrat, or up
per house in the Empire, the house
which represents, not the people,
but the twenty-five states which
make up the German Empire. This
is the house which originates q ma
jority of the bills. The Chancellor
carries them TO the Reichstag or
lower house. which is the best re-
presentation that the people have.
BY himself or by other members OF
the upper house, the bills are de-
foEded and suggestions may be made
by the lower body. A bill, how
ever, cannot be defeated as a whole.
The difference between this system
of government and our own can
plainly be seen. Legislation comes
more from the Emperor than from
the people. II may be for the people
but il is not Of and by the people.
The Chancellor is likewise head OF
the various administrative depart
ments Of the government and in that
capacity is much like the prime
minister of England and France.
There is, however, one essential
difference. The prime ministers are
responsible to the House Of Commons
in England and the Chamber OF Dep
uties in France. In other words,
they are responsible to the bodies
which are most completely repre-
sentative of the people. The Chan
cellor is responsible TO the Emperor
alone. No matter how much the
Reichstag may oppose the policies
he advocates, they can not compel
him TO resign.
This is a vital point in all the
plans for reform. II is certain that
that tremendous efforts are being
made at this moment by leaders in
Germany to change this system so
that the Chancellor will be respop-
sible TO the lower house and TO make
that lower house more representa-
tive OF the people than it is at
present. The change would be a
fundamental one. II would give the
people control OF legislation and o..
administration instead Of the en-
peror. This is what he very we'll
understands and thus far has re-
sisted the change.
Should the German people succeed
their government would become a
democratic monarchy. The real
voice of the people could be heard
and their will be done, even though
the present emperor should continue
to rule.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up COrns or Calluses So They
Lift of With Fingers.

Ouch ? !! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration Of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order small bot
tie for you.
