THE PSYCHOLOGICAL "BREAKDOWN" OF
GOVERNMENTS.

In more ways than one the conditions in Russia
should give pause those radical spirits in America
who feel that the overthrow of our "captalisc"
government and the establishment some idealstic
substitute would bring greater peace, happiness and
prosperity to the ranks of the common people.
(. We do not wish the to discuss the
merits of any proposed idealistic substitute. We
have doubt, which amounts to conviction,
whether any better system of government has been,
or can be, devised than the one we are blessed with
the privilege of living under.
But for the purposes of this discussion, let it
be admitted that there is another and better sys-
in the world. In order to make point
crete let it be admitted for the sake of argument
that the Russian Bolsheviki theory of government
is superior to ours
Wherein then lies the difficulty which has
utterly demorazed Russia and resulted in a pot-
cal and economic break down" which looks hope
less a bettered ordered people?
The explanation is psychological. People have
recognized a government as the" government
They have bowed to its decree and adjusted them
selves to its methods-even its faults. They have
looked to it for the protection of their most fun
damental requirements of security and protection
to life and property. A universal state of mind
public sentiment of acquescence-has been built
up. The government" is fguratively, the ground
under their feet
Suddenly through causes worthy or unworthy,
analogous to earthquake where the earth rocks
under feet and the only stable physical thing
know of in life has suddenly become unstable.
The result is mental and physical panic. There is
nowhere to flee for safety and consensus of
opinion to what course should be pursued.
Habit is broken up--the habit of obeying and
depending upon the government. Years will be
required to form new habit OF o'eying and rely
ing upon government. The substitute gov
ernment become stable without this habit of
adolescence on the part of the people and the
habit of acquieseence cannot be developed until
the government is stable. So in endless circle
OF misery uncertainty and chaos the people must
walk heplessy until from some source comes the
strong man who can secure the faith of the peo-
pie in his leadership which can give a beginning
OF rehabilitation. From his point there must be tho
slow processes of evolution back toward freedom
and power residing in peoples" government
Today five per cent OF the people, who are Boil
shevki, dominate 95 per cent OF the people or Rus
STA because the IS per cent are lost in a maze OF
UNCERTAINTY and fear. They do not know whom to

pLEBIsCITING THE PASSION PLAY.

The news comes from Oberammergau that the
question of whether the Passion Play shall be
given in 1922 is to be submitted to a plebiscite
among the elders of the church, who are to decide
whether the Christian spirit is sufficiently general
in the world to attract visitors from enemy coun-
tries to the play"
We wonder whether there is not a plea for
sympathy in this call for plebscite-the idea to
be conveyed being that Germany wants the friend
ship of the entire world, which so far does not
seem to be falling over itself to extend the hand of
friendship,
Whatever may be the underlying motive, lovers
of the beautiful and the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
non Christians alike-will hope that the Passion
Play will not be discontinued Regardless of our
creed, we must admit that the Christ life is en-
nobling and inspiring, and that, when portrayed by
the simple hearted peasants in the fulflment of a
vow made by their ancestors many years ago, it
made p distinctive appeal to the better side OF
human nature.
There was a time when these simple peasants
cared little whether the people of other countries
witnessed their great spectacle or not To them
it was n votive Offering rendered to please another
Spectator
Let us hope that the spirit of the Passion Play
as Anton Lang understood it, will not be furnished
by propaganda plebiscites.

LO We AN d DU r Y,

If you were eight or nine years old
An had to do as you were told,
An you had planned certain day ...
Your deadly enemies to play
a game o. ball an then your Pa
That mornin' said: 81 notice, Ma,
The lawn needs cuttin an the place
Is now a neighborhood disgrace;
This afternoon please see that son
Stays home until the work is DONE"
Could you put on your prettiest looks
The way they do in story books
An say: Eyes sir, will be glad
TO cut the lawn. 1t needs it bad"
Suppose your curves were woriin' fine
An you were captain of your nine,
But you'd been taught that boys who hope
Successfully with life to cope
Must answer duty's clarion call
With cheerfulness in spite of all,
But you had gone to bed to dream
OF walopn' that other team,
An then the very day you'd planned
To play that game--you understand
Your Pa said pontin' with his spoon:
"You'n cut the grass this afternoon"
Would you be dutiful or say:
Gee Whiz, Pa, please. can't today"
An then suppose the sky was blue
An there was not cloud in view,
But it was jus the sort o. day
You'd prayed for so that you could play
An you'd told all your gang to be
out there to start the game at three;
On top o that the day before
You'd laughed an jeered at Billy Moore
Some chores his mother told him to-
To talk of duty's very well,
But how'd you'd like to have to tell
The boys; II won't be there to play;
l gotta cut the grass today"
