The People Decide

The United States without what the British know as
responsible government In Great Britain the KING can
ID no wrong" But then he cannot do anything at all
n the way of government except thru his ministers The
ministers are only members of parliament but are
reeponsble to it. They must resign their ministry as
soon as it is that they have not the support Of
parliamentary majority. Thus what Americans call the
executive branch of the must keep in constant
touch with the legislative.
On the other hand parliament must deal reasonably with
the ministry for the latter has the right at any time
70 ask the king to dissolve the parliament and call for
new election. When parliament has turned against the
ministers they hold their office long enough to appeal
70 the country and whether the parliament is Of
the same opinion as the old.
The system makes for harmony. When disagreement
arises the people decide and decide at In France it
Is much the same The president of the American Poiti
cal association Professor Henry Ford holds that while
young republics looked to the United States for
model they now to France This is because of the
growing conviction that the sharp separation Between
ecuve and legislative functions in the United States is
mistake
Under the British and French systems the government
represents closely than in this country the actual
prevailing will of the people. change in this respect in
the United States is most desirable

Whether or not you believe in Christian
Science at least Reversed Christian Science
is true. That is to say, if you want heart
disease, lie awake of nights and listen to
your pulse; if you want stomach trouble,
inject your thought regularly into your
stomach; if you want bad-ooling mouth,
keep fixing it and screwing at it; and II
you want any member, gland or organ OF
your physical frame to go on strike and
begin to act up, give it a-good dose of self
consciousness. So that j say that, whether
or not your Thought can cure anything,
it can certainly give you something in the
way of disease
The same is true of the soul. There is
no recipe so infallible for giving you the
mulligrubs and the moral pip and the
spiritual collie as to keep prying into your
self. Anayze all your good motives and
pretty soon you won't have any. Suspect
your good impulses and they will soon
wither and die Go around in your soul
with dark lantern, like Sherlock Holmes,
and before long all your decent, self
respecting, manly elements of character will
get Disguised and move out.
The one sensible, moral and religious
thing to do with yourself is to let yourself
alone.
Look out, not in" was famous saying
of Edward Everett Hale. The reasonable
ness of it is herein: That when you look
out you can see something, and when you
look in you can see nothing.
Outside are the sun and trees and sky
and people. Inside is Deep dark pit.

On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise
Reversed Christian Science
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank crans)

You cannot see yourself by looking within
yourself. There is deal OF danger IN this
same self-examination, self-study, SELL
culture, self-improvement and the like.
The way to ruin your watch is to tinker
with it's insides; the way to ruin your crop
of beans is to dig them up every day 10
see how much they've grown, and the way
to ruin your body and soul is to think
about them. 'He that saveth his life shall
lose it,"
The place to see your real self is outside.
There are mirrors all about you in which
you can see your soul if you wish. | will
name some of these.
First, if you want to see how good you
are, look into the eyes of the one who loves
you. Cheer up! It's true. You are as
good as that.
If you want to know how mean you are,
listen to your enemies, those who envy you
and hate you. Be humble It's true. You
are as bad as that, too.
II you want to see what you amount to,
look at your work The psychological func-
ton of work is to reveal a man to himself.
When Wagner had finished a part of his
Tristan und Isolde" he wrote: "As the
good Lord said some four thousand years
ago when He had made the earth, that it
was good, having no one else to say it for
Him, so l say of this work of mine, having
no one to praise me, Richard, you're the
dickens of fellow" That was proper,
sane, and reasonable self-appreciation.
If you've never done anything, in all prob
ability you are nothing.

OF an afternoon she often at her window darn

Some folks wonder how she stays young and good

Those boys of hers keep her mending and patching

Of her club and when somebody in the neghborhood is
sick she is always on hand to help out.
Those who visit her home notice it to shine with
her cheerful presence. With a kiss she heal the
bruised fingers the children bring in from play. Her hus-
band finds he think his way out of his worries and
difficulties better when she is at his side giving the wise
counsel Of perfect intuition that he at the office
