The Kaiser grants reforms in Prus
sia. But the question is whether he
has made his concessions in time His
critics have felt their power. They
may demand more than he grants.
They may stir up the German people
so that there will have to be a radical
revolution to satisfy the demands for
reform. Let us hope that things
viii continue to move towards democ
racy in Germany.

CRISIS IN GERMANY

Herr Won Bethuann-Ilollweg was forced
To give up the chancellorship of the Ger

ing That the All-lIighest could not keep
him there in the face of the political
crisis in Germany seems indisputable in
the light Of all that the outside world
knows OF the inside workings of affairs
in Germany, One ot the outstanding de-
vcIopments seems to be that the reich
stag has venturcd to be more independent
OF the crown than ever before in its his

effort OF the rciehstag to assert itself

upon, unless the teachings OF history are
all to be falsiiied. it is hard for a people
to get over a state of mind that has be,
come the very Likelihood Of national cXs-
tence. The breaking mp of outworn forms
in Germany may come slowly. but none the
less surely Is the breaking mp bound to

Whatever the influence OF the crown
prince, in forcing the retirement of vor

if the kaiser would have yielded unles,
there had been a pressure too strong t

QUESTION FOR CONGRESS.

1t IS difficult to comprehend the line
of reasoning by which members of
congress could Justify the proposed
legislation which would turn over to
the President the power to say wheth-
err grains shall be used in the manufac-
fture of malt liquors. The question is
a very simple and direct one, which
congress itself should be able to deter
mine. Opinions may differ but there
is no reason why congress should abdi-
cate its duty. If use of grain in manu-.
faeture of malt liquors is an evil be-
cause of scarcity of food during the
war, congress should say so. If it is
not an evil, congress should refuse to
enact legislation prohibiting such use
of grain. Under our form of govern
ment laws are enacted by a majority
vote in each house of congress. A
measure thus passed goes to the Presi-
dent for his signature or his veto. The
! judgment of majority of each house
or of two-thirds majority in case of a
veto should determine this question
and it should not be left to the discre
tion of the President or to the judg
ment of any other one man.
& When Congress has so little respect
for its own Judgment that it is willing
to set higher value on the judgment
of the President than upon its own
it cannot complain if the country
takes congress at its own estimate.
