WE, THE GOVERNMENT

The United States has a representa-.
tive form of government All offices
are filled through the voice of the peo.
pie and all officers are responsible
to the men who elect them, either d.
rectly or indirectly. Our national des-
tiny is in the hands of the voter.
One hundred and fifty years back
our ancestors elected to set up this
form Of government and so well did
they build that today Americans are
wont to boast that they have the best
government on earth. We are willing
to compare our government with that
of any other country. fully confident
that the United States will not suffer
through the comparison. However, no
thinking American denies that 1t is
faulty in places. and that it is misad-
ministered much of the time. That
any form Of government should be
created to cope efficiently with shift
ing social. economic and industrial
conditions is highly improbable. That
bad measures and worse men are ant
TO creep in from time to time, unless

She was assisted by Miss Eleanor

lix as Sharpless. the American con-
sui; and Jane Mehl, as Trouble, But
terf1y's child. Miss Verna Kline at
the piano played the musical back
ground from the opera by Puccini.
Despite the fact that the audience
knew the old story of ButterHy's
tragedy, or perhaps because of it,
Miss Preston secured an immediate
favorable response. Interest in her
did not mitigate even when little
Jane Mehl, with all her childish ap-
peal was brought in and made to sit
on her feet in quaint Japanese man
ner. The child's wide-eyed wonder
could scarcely have been feigned.
Previous to the presentation of the
scene from Madame Butterfly" a Sc

HAIRCUTS A LA ST. LOUIS

that's the reason they gave.
But sometimes BARRIERS material
doesn't 60 up-it grows other ways
What they must have meant was that
it is longer.
There is one striking pecularity
about St. Louis BARRIERS. 1t is the
care and earnestness they use to cut
hair quickly, a service that should add
two-bits to the price of any hair
cut, high or low. Just get in chair;
get out in twenty minutes; so cents
please; next A dollar and a half an
hour; SIS day. The man on the 9TH
er end of the tickling clippers gets
60 per cent. That's 50, but then
singes and shampoos and tonics
sweeten the ante for him.
Assuredly there should be another
raise. Higher haircuts will make the
material still harder to get at. 1t
will make the stuck, hair-trimmed
world want to comeback. Some men

some own a car, but they all use the
haircut. They will all want redress.

MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN

The most exquisite form of torture
that human beings have yet devised
for one another is talk. No greater
suffering can be conceived than the
obligation to sit quietly by while some
long-winded individual pours from
the convolutions of an atrophied brain
an endless stream of meaningless syl-
tables. And as il that were not suf-
ficient agony, a barbarous social Gus
tom DEGREES that we must even ap-
pear to enjoy the tedium of the bore's
vapid mouthings.
Heaven must indeed be the silence
Of the great beyond, where the IMAM
inities Of wasted words are not. The
angels, and there are a few of them
on earth, are those gifted souls to
whom has been given control over
their powers of speech.
The man who can tell his story and
get through with it before his au-
dience wearies is rare indeed. Given
the ability to talk, those who exercise
it only when they have something to
say are the real benefactors of man
kind. He who has message for his
fellow man should be chary of spoil
ing it with too many words. He who !
has no message should not profane
he language by draping it around an
empty she'll Of nonsense, for in the
,lamor of needless sound, the purest
gem Of thought is lost.

constantly warded Of. is but synony.
nous with human weakness.
The function Of all government. az
we Americans see it, is to safeguard
those national Institutions which af-
ford the individual the opportunity to
develop himself to his fullest capacity.
Insofar as it fulfills this ideal it is a
success, and insofar as it neglects to
do so. 1t is a failure. We firmly be-
lieve that the state is the servant of
in the individual and not that the in
dividual is the slave Of the state. That
the government is an end in itself is
against all the principles of our po-
litical theory.
In the coming elections, the most
important task of every American cit
,izen is to vote intelligently. To weigh
carefully the qualifications and limita-
tions Of the respective candidates be-
fore casting his ballot is as much the
patriotic duty of the true American
as it is to be willing to sacrifice his
life in defense of his country. Just
now Americas domestic enemies are
more numerous and far more danger
Gus than her foreign foes.
: When the man in the street learns
to say I'VE" when he refers to the gov
ernment, instead of they" the key
note Of real Americanism will be
struck.
