AMONG WORLDS
OLDEST NATIONS
GOVERNMENT HAS REMAIN Ed
SAME 1876 YEARS
Changes In Other Lands--countric
Of Europe Entirely Made over In
That Period.

The United States of America Is
one of the oldest nations on earth. the
Philadelphia Ledger states. With the
exception OF England and Russia it
Is, existing nation older than any
country in Europe. And alone in the
western world 1t has STOOD for the
last 125 years with an unchanged
government. It's boundaries have eX.
panded and its constitution has been
amended and it has gone thru civil
war; but the United States is "r,ll
ed" today as it was ruled in 1870, and
1t is the only Western nation that is.
The constitution of the United
States of America was adopted in the
year the French revolution began.
Since 1883 Europe has been remade.
Among the nations four stand out rs
ancient"-Bnsland, Russia. Den
mark and Spain. Yet in the last cen.
tury and a quarter these countries
have lived thru governmental changes
that show beside the stability of the
United States rule as exceedingly
significant shifts.
The changes that have taken place
in the English regime are the mos:
interesting because they are the least
known to the world at large. 1t is
inevitible with us all that the men
ton Of an ancient nation," stable
government" the oldest country on
earth should bring the thought Of
Ensland to our minds,
But the government Of England. as
We know it today, dates its beginning
from the year 1882. That is the date
of the passage OF the first reform bill.
These bills-the first in 1892. the sec
ond in 1867 and the last in 1854
shifted the government OF England
from lords to commons, from mobiles
and men Of great property to the peo-
pie themselves, changed the lirlita.
tion OF England's monarchy from a
feudal to a popular right. Without
revolution, the government Of the
country was effectively revolutioniz-
cd.
The striking evolution which began
In 1882 with the granting of the bal.
lot to the merchants and men OF
small property in the realm, moved
on to it's final step in the Parliament
bill of 1912, which took away all but
suspensive veto power from the house
of lords and left the Commons rulers
OF England.
France began its revolution. as all
the world knows. in 1889. Since then
1t has had two empires, three kinds
Of Kingdoms and three republics; II
has executed one kind and disposed
two others, and it has forced each OF
its two empelors to abdicate. Since
the final formation OF the third
French republic it's cabinet has been
changed very nearly on an average ol
once a year.

most of the seed TO breakfast food

that most of the crop is used for poul-
