As soon as we begin to view the
political process which has gener-
ated the two constitutions, each in
its particular individuality. each
with the differences correspondent g
to the characteristics of the ma
tIon, in the light above described
this similarity of their organic law
ceases to be a mere Incident, a ca
price of history. The casual OBJ
server may be satisfied in knowing
that the constitution Of the swiss
confederation of 1S4S was modelled
after the American ideal. But this
explains absolutely nothing. Every
nation has the government Il de-
serves" Better would IL be to say

Of state Is a mere form II the
political spirit Of those who create
and support IL at the same time
that Is, the citizens-do not nil the
dead letter with streaming life. A
constitution is born out of the very
sanctuary OF a nation, and reflects
the political standard OF its crea-
tors. That is the reason why no
imitation is possible in this field.
To the sceptic we would recon-
mend a comparison Of the text of
the first Swiss charter of 1891 with
the text Of the Declaration OF In
dependence. He would be aston
ished to remark the conformity
here and there. not in words, but
in fundamental political ideas.
1t has been said that the United
States and Switzerland are exam
pies of commemorative whose sue
cess has been largely owing to the
fact that comparative small
amount Of changes has accom-
panied their acquisition of indie
pendence and that each has that
form Of government which the
events Of history have made natu-
raj for II. This includes the sense
OF what we said before. The same
author, Winchester. believes that
the two republics have solved the
problem upon which all civilized
people have been working ever
since civilization began-how to In

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Sympathy exists between nations
as well as between individuals. The
friendly affection, the instructive
"penchant" which we feel for q hu-
man being does not depend upon
exterior conditions. Likewise Is
the tie which draws two nations
together not created by political
artlfice. Friendship between indi-
viduals as well as between nations
springs from sources of sentiment
Political conditions may trouble
the original relationship, but they
cannot do away with II.
Examples are not lacking. Mod
ern history Is full OF them. That
IN the presence of serious events
which grasp and infiame a nation
as q whole, political arrangements
are not able to stand firm, mas
much as they are in contradiction
with that fundamental law. is
clearly shown by the history Of the
triple alliance. Political material
ism will always look at the seces-
sion of Italy from this alliance from
the standpoint 81 the better advan-
taGe which was to be expected on
the side OF the allies, and will
coolly smile at any ideal explana-
lions as the vain attempt OF some
rideologist" Moral philosophy is
on the point OF delivering itself
from materialistic apprehension.
But politics still sail, in spite OF
most promising beginnings Of a
better insight in the old. custom
airy channels, and MacchIavelli even
now remains for politicians Of this
stamp as the classical author.
The history OF the relationship
betwee n the United states Of
America and the Alpine republic
OF Switzerland, not without justi-
1icatiCn designated as the United
= States Of Central Europe, shows
clearly how little exterior condi-
lions of political nature are capa-
BILE of influencing relations between
nations which are based on senti-
ment. which Is this sentiment in
our case? We conceive It as the
consciousness that in both cases
similar causes led to similar effects
and created similar political insti-
tutions, The element which pre-
through the history Of SwitZcr-
