bar he would not complete them by

Now, Alexander Hamilton, to
whom | think we owe more than any
other thousand men, for our Consti-
tuition and for enlightenment in po-
litical science-I think, he was the
greatest governmental genius the
world ever know-when he saw Con-

New-York tribune., 1919-10-19

Is between the Golden Rule and the
Ten Commandments. The Golden
Rule has in it all that there is in the
Ten Commandments and a lot more,
but it would spoil the Golden Rule
if you tried to write the Ten Com
mandments into it; and each of the
Ten Commandments is simply spec
ial statement Of a possible pro-
vision Of the Golden Rule.
We did not feel that it was neces-
sary, when the word Bolshevism
came along as synonym for democ-
racy, to amand the alphabet, but we
just applied the alphabet intelli-
gently to the spelling Of the word.
And so we keep putting statutory
material into our constitutions and
engthening them.
Now there is general impression
that the Constitution is a rather dry,
difficult document to understand, and
most of our writer's upon the Con-
stitution who have tried to appear
scholarly and written books Of four
or five hundred pages on it, have
made each part Of their writings
more difficult to understand than the
Constitution itself; but it is a very
simple document. Like all great
things it is as simple as the ten
digits, as simple as the Golden Rule,
as simple as the Ten Command
ments, as simple as the mechanism
of a clock
New-York tribune., 1919-10-19

objected to having autocracies
spoken of as republics. He also
understood quite clearly the differ
ence between republic and de-
mocracy. His description of de-
mocracies is splendid word-picture
of the Russia of to-day. Again, in
"The Federalist," he said:
"Hence it is that such democra-
cies have ever been spectacles Of
turbulence and contention; have
ever been found incompatible with
personal security or the rights of
property, and have in general been
'as short in their lives as they have
been violent in their deaths. Theo-
retic politicians, who have patron
lied. this species Of government,
have enormously supposed that by
reducing mankind to perfect equal
ity in their political rights they
would, at the same time, be per-
fectly equalized and assimilated in
their professions, their opinions,
and their passions. A re-
public, by which l mean a govern
ment in which the scheme of repre-
sentation takes place, opens a
different prospect, and promises the
cure for which we are seeking.
The two great points of
difference between democracy and
republic are, first" etc.
just raise that point to make it
clear that the men who founded
this government had no thought of
founding a democracy, and while
this may seem rather extravagant
statement, / believe that rs per cent
of the ills from which we have been
suffering during the last eighteen
or nineteen years are due to the
prevalent misuse Of the word de-
mocracy. I said to man some time
ago, just as an illustration, that
Lincoln never used the word. This
man had written book of six hun
dred pages on the life of Lincoln,
and said he had used it often.
l asked him to find it. He made
search and found where Lincoln
had used it once.
The point I want to make, first, is
that there was no government prior
to the writing Of our Constitution
and the founding of this Republic
that could secure for its people
either religious freedom, or civil
liberty, or freedom of speech, or
freedom Of the press, or security Of
individual rights, or popular educa-
ton or universal franchise; just the
securing Of any one Of those things
during all those thousands of years
had baff1ed philosophers and states
| men.
Immediately upon the adoption
Of our Constitution and the found
ing of this Republic, we began auto
matically to secure all seven of
those privileges for the first time.
We welded a wholesome influence
on other countries, and they began
to secure them just in proportion
as they initiated the ideas promul-
gated in that Constitution.

ACACIA FARM MEET

Monday night at the meeting of the

which was trained by Mrs. +. ID.
Walker. 1t consisted of a cornet.
three violins and piano. the latter
played by little Helen Williams aged
eleven. Mrs. Walker has had extend
ed experience as a music teacher and
rendered several beautiful violin solos.
One very interesting number was a

Centre.
An important resolution was adopt
ed by the meeting to the effect that
it was the sense of the assembly that
the Acacia school trustees call a bond
election to complete the present school
plant and provide money for building
an additional room. The bonds for
said additional room to remain unsold
until such time as they should be
needed. An interesting discussion on
better roads took place and a COM
mittee of three was appointed to bring
before the supervisors the urgent need
of a road running directly north from
Acacia school. 4 considerable num-
ber of scholars from the northern dis
trict had great difficulty in reaching
school on account of the presnt al
most impossible co-called road. Aca-

remark made by an American naval

million of Hungary'S best citizens
have been obliged to flee from their
homes and wander across the from
tiers to strange lands.
There are many stories of their at
tempts to save their lives and prop
pertv. some of which read like Ara
bian Nights tales. 1t is calculated
that some 100000, 900 kronen worth
of bonds, geld coin, jewelry, plate,
paintings and works of art have been
saved from the clutches of the Red
Guards and smuggied across the from
tiers by blockade runners, afoot. on
bicyclese, autos or peasant carts.
Within a few weeks there has grown
up a system by which large percent

JAPAN ISOLATED
IS PREDICTION

Toxic, May (By maiD-T. Naka-

pointed out in a speech at a political
meeting that Japan may be left in
an isolated position with relation to
the great powers. He said:
Russia and GERMANY are now ru-
incd and there are only three great
powers in the West--Great Britain,
France and America. These three
powers can easily get together be
cause their language and strength are
about the same, but Japan, being of
a different race, may have to stand
absolutely alone.
Japan, therefore, must provide
against this by regulating her finance
and strengthening her national de
fenSe."

HUNGARIANS ARE
TIRED OF REDS

Budapest, May : (By maiD-What
may he termed the last days of the
Red Soviet republic here are
fraught with such terror, hunger,
mental misery, uprooting of family
ties, heartbreaking partings, flights,
arrests and legal lootings that the
majority Of Hungarians are praying
tht such days may never come again.
They live like people caught in a
buning house with the firemen squirt
ing benZine on the only escape lad
der.
One way out may possibly be pro
vided by the Czech and Rumanian ar
mics, who, though rational enemies
of the Magyars, are now hailed as
saviors. The atmosphere is charged
with fears and alarms worse than
those felt on any battle front. \ con-
tagious fear like that which prevails
whsn an army is in rOut Is spread
ing even to foreigners whose per
sons are comparatively safe from ar
rest owing to the wishes of Bella Kun,
the Communist leader. and other min
isters, to save themselves from the
gailows when the grand collapse
comes.
When fathers and sons flee the
country to evade arrest or to ioin
the counter er-revolutionistS. their wives
and mothers whisper at the part
ing:
LET US hope we may meet in hap
pier times.
When the correspondent of the As
sociated Press has had occasion to
explain his nationality the listener,
whether Red guard. peasant or civil
ian. has remarked with envy:
What a fortunate man you are to
be an Americana
He would invariably ask whether it
would be possible to reach America,
and whether foreigners, former enc
mics, would be permitted to land on
her shores. Peasants, who refuse to
furnish food to Budapest or other cit
les because they are hostile to COM
munism and want shoes and clothes
more than paper money, of whichh
they have plenty. gladly enough sold
meals and supplies to the correSpOn-
dent on the strength of his Amerl-
can nationality.
The city of Budapest. which few
weeks ago had plentiful supply Of
eggs-people almost lived upon them
and rotatoes-is now without eggs,
because of the obstinacy of the peas
ants. A great many of the stores
have been closed for lack cf goods

Questioned by the Soviet.
