interests at court. This was the
germ of representative govern
ment.
The people, under these cir
cumstances, defended their in
terests from possible encroach-
ment by the king through their
representatives. So the struggle,
when there was one, came be-
tween the king and these dele
gates. 1t did not pay for the
king to try to bulldOze them, as
Charles l of England found out.
And even when the king did not
60 50 far as Charles, he was re-
strained all the time because,
since the masses paid the taxes
that supported his court, he had
to keep on the right side of their
delegates, or he got no revenue.
Thus the power was creeping iIitc
the hands of the people. They could
control the king through their repre-
sentattves; and IL the latter did no:

HNHREE thousand or more
years ago an ancient Greek
exclaimed: mot good is
the rule of many; let one be
ruler, let one be king, to whom
God has given over the laws, to
rule by themv'
We cannot now agree with
this sentiment, except as it
shows a profound respect for
law and order, and a we'll
grounded fear of their oppo-
sites. We balk at the idea of a
king. And yet we must realize
that the one strong man, able by
strength of body and mind to
keep order, was the only agency
the ancient Greeks, -or the people
of the Bible, knew about, for get
ting the peace and order and Sc
curity which they had to have.
So they were glad enough to get
1t IN this way, rather than suffer
from uncertainty, insecurity and
disorder. They actually got law
and order under the king, and it
Is no wonder that the kingship
was popular among them.
Let us start, then, with the
king as the first agency for keep
ing the peace, and see how, as
time went on, peoples worked out
better means for realizing the
Indispensable blessing of living
out their lives in peace and CO.
operation.
We hear of despots, but we
must realize that no king ever
succeeded i'm ruling very long
without paying any attention to
the public opinion of his people.
Tyrants have been able to sup
press public opinion for a time.
Peoples have endured a crazy
man on the throne for a while.
But the end of the matter, as the
history Of some of the Roman
Ernperors shows, has then been
an assassination and a new enA
peror.
Ordinarily the king was sur
rounded by a council represent
ing some, at least, of the diverse
interests of the people. This
council could, at least, restrain
the king by advice and protest,
and sometimes could overrule
the king altogether. And then
there was usually an assembly of
the tribe or people, who were not
utterly deprived of the right to
express their opinion. They
could rattle their spears against
their shields for applause, or
could sulk in silence if displeased.
Wise kings and chiefs, if their
programs were received in the
latter manner, would reflect a
while before going ahead with
them.
In the course of time, the peo-
pies ruled over by kings became
50 widespread over the country
that they could not all get
together in an assembly of the
people, and they took to picking

deported.
''Dr. Muck has not been deported,' y
Mr.. Creighton said. He did not
choose to go. The fact that he is re-
tanned him at Fort Oglethorpe places
him in the class with prominent Ger
man business men, held there because
we believed their cases were serious y
The reason for DR.. Muck's intern
ment was not disclosed by the witness.
Not more than forty or fifty of the
500 enemy aliens still interned at Fort
Oglethorpe and Fort Douglas, Utah,
can be deported under present laws,
