frivolous and hopeless appeals to harass business in

NopL,cE FOR Personal GOVERNMENT.

~ lie Republican Publicity Association, through It's
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne Jr has given out
he following statement from its Washington head
quarters
In establishing this government, our fathers en-
eaNored to erect every safeguard against the dangers Of
personal government such was the purpose providing
three coordinate branches the legislative the executive
and the judicial BY providing two House Of Congress
The action Of both being necessary TO The passage Of
BILL the trainers Of the constitution made impossible the
hasty enactment OF laws
by vesting The veto power in the President one more
safeguard was established for the protection Of the people
against unwis legislation By giving the legislative body
The Of impeachment the executive and by pro-
hbtng appropriations for the maintenance Of an army for
more than two at tlme with the further provisions
that appointments to Office must be confirmed by the
Senate precautions taken against the establishment
Of such relationships had oppressed the peoples Of
practically all nations in previous time
Representative government as distinguished from
personal government, the desideraum And in se-
curing representative government Of the essentials
were responsibility and accountability Undoubtedly
could be efficient in time OF emergency
y there were personal power and less accountability
but the fathers thought and correctly that the preserva
ton Of liberty required limitation power and respon-
sveness to public will
II men were perfect in knowledge judgment and in
tegrity unswerved by sef-lnteres and free from the
hhuehce ol lTIenosnlp or fear personal government
would be ideal Under such conditions there woud he
no danger or misuse Of power for the qualification Of
greed or the satisfaction Of ambition But since All his
Tory shows that most m both selfish and ambitious
and mat there As no noxcaton so Overwhelming as The
nioxicaton Of power it the desire of the founders
Of this government to make personal government i'm
possible.
This constitutional principle Of responsibility and
accountability was strengthened by the people through
organization Of political parties It was found not only
desirable but practically necessary to form political
parties for the nomination candidates so that men
set up candidates should s pass the scrutiny OF those
who entertain the principles for which the candidate
presumably would stand
Ihus' we have double test applied to every man
who occupies the Presidential office Each party selects
as Its candidate the who represents the prnc
pies OF that party and then tn country chooses from
imong the candidates. There is a double accounabty
ne man who is elected must go TO the people for re-
sction but must first TO his party convention and
submit there the question TO his loyalty to the prnc
pIes he was chosen to sustain
There is tendency to favor the election Of a pres

direct move toward personal government II is a
move fostered By heroworshpers who pleased bv some

TRAGIC END DUE TO RuRLEsoN WAL DELAY.

A WOMAN In New York mailed letter Friday to
an acquaintance living the river in Brooklyn
telling him that she intended to kill her daughter and
herself.
Three days later the letter delivered. and the
cpient hurried to the women's address in effort to
prevent the double crime.
The daughter had already been killed and the woman
was alive only because she had not had courage re
the fatal shot
Happily It is not always that Mr.. Burlesons mail
service delays end so traglcaly.
