BURTON |. FRENCH
ON GOVERNMENTS
IDAHO CONGRESS ADDRESSES
TEACHERS ON VARIOUS
FORMS IN THE WORLD.

Hon. Burton l.. French, congress
man for the First Idaho district, de-
livered an address to the north Idaho
teachers on various forms of govern
ment, that was so full of interesting
information requests for its pub)ico-
ton have been made. The address
follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Fellow teachers:
AS a preliminary thought to the
question that his been assigned me for
considerations Tendencies in
Government am going to ask you
to consider for few minutes the ele-
ments that enter into the determine
ton of government with respect to
the kind of government a people shall
have, and also with respect to the ac-
tivities and functions that may be car
ried on under whatever form of gov
eminent may be adopted What
shall say applies not only to the gov
ernments of the present, but applies
equally as well to governments in the
past, from the days that there is any
thing of history that we regard as
worthwhile.
During the period covered by world
history, there have been the five
types of government:
Theocratic, Monarchic, limited and
Monarchic, unlimited; Republican,
Democratic.
These different types of govern
ment have been established on the
basis of various conditions that have
existed among the people who have
chosen the one form or the other, or
on the other hand, have had the one
form or the other imposed upon them.
AS I see it, the conditions that have
determined government and that de-
termine government in the present
may be summed up rs follows:
1. Religious belief.
2. Custom and constituted author
ity
3. Ideals.
a. Education.
5. War and fortuitous circum-
stances.
In all probability it would be i'm
possible to find any government that
has maintained itself for any con-
siderable period that has not been
modified, both as regards the kind

ment contested it's way for probably
three-fourths of century, altho !
have no doubt that for many years
before it's adoption it had command
ed the peoples support in practical
ly every state.
If it is difficult to amend the Con-
stitution of state or government,
how much more difficult is the propo-
sition of turning a government up
side down, or establishing another
kind of government, substituting a
republic for monarchy, or making
any other turn that is violent in char
acter. Too many people in the past
have suffered violent themselves who
have attempted the heroic in the modi-
ficetion Of their government. Why,
in Great Britain, for centuries, it was
crime punishable by death to so
much as contemplate the death of the
king. And governments clearly ard
at all times place the responsibility
upon those who contest their right
to exist of showing that time has
arisen when different government
should prevail.
Hardly less important as an e1e-
ment that has to do in holding people
to particular type of government
than constituted authority is what we
may call custom. People for centuries
constitute to do an act for no other
apparent god reason than because
their fathers have done the act in the
same way. People of Great Britain
turn to their left as they pass travel
ers upon the highway; their cousins
in our own country, speaking the
same language, turn to the right in
arranging the same accommodation
The people of Great Britain and of
Canada have no difficulty in approx
ing many elements of government In
their own country that in the United
States would not be tolerated for a
moment. The Constitution provides
that presidential electors shall choose
a president and vice president Gus
tom has said that their choice shall
be. the choice that has been made in
advance by political convention. He
would indeed be bold adventurer in
politics, or else one possessed of lit
lie information who would assume that
he could overturn this custom and
bring about the choosing of a presi-
dent by the electors themselves, And
SO the idea may be pursued to almost
unlimited extent.
Ideals
| have said that ideals play an i'm
portant part in the determination Of
government. A people, for instance
who love liberty, who love independ-
ence, who believe in equality, cannot
with any degree of composure recog-
nize the rule of a tyrant On the other
hand. a people who Justify robbery on

of government an the functions to be
performed under it, by practically all
| of the conditions to which / have re-
| ferred Even religious belief has
something to do with the type of gov
ernment Of people who are not mem
bers of theocracies.
Religious Belief
The religious belief, however, has
most to do with the determining of
theocratic type of government and
assume that government that Is
theocratic in type is one that sdeter-
mined almost wholly by the religious
belief of the people, under it, altho it
tom or established order, and possibly
ideals and education, may have some
thing to do in determining this type
Iof government. AS regards theocra-
cies, however, the religious thought is
the dominating influence. The religi-
GUS thought embraces the idea that
the people governed shall have abso-
lutte faith that their government is
from God, directly administered thru
some one representative, the people
sharing in it.
Such government was that of the
Isralitish people during the early
years of which history records this
people activities. The latter years
of Isralitish and Jewish government
saw the breaking down of theocracy
and the establishment in its stead of
what | think you would be compelled
to call monarchial government with
limited or unlimited power, depend
ing upon the strength of character
and force of the one who had been
chosen to exercise the kinship.
Custom or Establish Authority
| have made no attempt in the ar
rangement | have given of the con-
ditions that determine government to
outline the conditions in any order
Of relative rank Certainly, one OF
the important conditions, however, in
the determination of the kind of gov
eminent is constituted authority and
to that may be added custom. You
are all familiar with the process, of
enacting an amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. You
recognize the fact that so carefully
did the fathers safeguard the matter
of changing our fundamental law
through merely a spasmodic emotion
on the part of people that the pro-
visions for amendment were so writ
ten that amendments can hardly find
their way into the Constitution with
out first having had the advantage
of thoro discussion and the over
whelming approval on the part of
the people.
Witness, for instance, the amend
ment looking to the election of sena-
tors by the peoples vote. That amend

dictatorial sway at time when peo-

PRESS COMMENTS.
FASHIONS ANDPRICEs.

From Chicago, where mans tailors
convention il in progress, comes the de-
pressing news that freak styles are gaining
in popularity. Socalled young mems
models are, if anything, increasing in
vogue, and prospective customers who
still plaintively beg for plainly-cut serges
are diminishing minority, and objects
of justified scorn from their more florldly
inclined juniors.
The sartorial taste of the modern youth
is probably the most eyaggerated~-and
eytravagant--in American history. For
picturesqueness, the wigs and boots of
Colonial days, and the doublcts and
plumed caps of the fifteenth century cam
not compare with current modes OF mas
culine dress. One can only guess ut the
thoughts of Columbus or Washington,
could they inspect the twentieth century
young man arrayed in side-creased trou-
sers, tight jackets and festoons OF large
buttons; but it may be promised that their
shudders would be attributable TO other
emotions than envious admiration.
The practical side of the situation
centers in the announcement that this
mania for outre clothes is continually
raising the retail prices. One can hardly
blame the merchants for asking round
sums for such expensive inessentials as
trick suits" and fancy belts when the
Juvenile bouevardiers, who are their
chief patrons, insist on mirroring the
latest whims of dress irrespective of
common sense or economy. .--Philadel-
