A MODERN CONSTITUTION

The German constitution is instrument
that has, unfortunately, not received its full quota
of public attention While comparatively simple,
it sets forth philosophy of government contain
ing social and economic provisions that are par
ticularly far-reaching and that to the student OF
economics and sociology mean a great advance IN
modern constitutions. It's significance as docu-
ment has been more or less subjugated to the
practical problems with which the German nation
has been confronted since peace was declared.
The most important innovations are con-
tanned in Chapter II and relate to the fundamental
right and duties of Germans. Among the things
that are emphasized in this section relating to
economic life" are the assurance that freedom of
contract shall prevail, the forbidding OF usury,
the guarantee of the right of private property the
subsection of all mineral resources and all eco
nomicay useful forces to the control of the state
and the reservation to the commonwealth OF the
right to transfer to public ownership private bus
mess enterprises adapted for socalizatlon Intel
lectual labor, rights of the author, the inventor
and the artist enjoy special protection and care
Every German is required to use his intellectual
and physical powers as is demanded by the well
fare of the community without prejudice to his
personal liberty" and the right of every German
'to earn his living by economic labor" is guaran-
teed maintenance by the state to follow If suitable
employment cannot be found.
wages and salaried employees are qualified
to cooperate on equal terms with the employers
in the regulation of wages and working condi-
tons as well as in the entire economic develop
menu OF the productive forces, runs al CiCe 100.
The law stipulates in detail the methods that are
to be employed in organized workers councils
Judges are set free from any possible politi-
cal influence by an appointment for life The
whole tenor of the German constitution indicates
a disposition to work toward the establishment of
cooperative commonwealth but it does not neg
lect to make suitable provision for the subsequent
adoption of a policy of collectivsm.
The constitution be obtained from the
World Peace Foundation at Boston and is indeed
worthy of the study of anyone interested in mod
ern constitutions or in constitutional government.

THE wAUsAU PILOT
NOT INACTIVE

Those who figured that the Democratic party
was inactive and would take sides in the republican
primaries have reckoned without their host. All
the nomination papers have been filed with the
secretary of state and not in years has there been
SO many signers. The next thing for democrats
to do is to go to the primaries and vote for the
person they desire on the ticket for the November
ballot Democrats have nothing in common with
the opposition. They have a record of construc-
tive legislation during the Woodrow Wilson adj
mnstration which has not been equaled in all
the years of republican misrule. The present
panicky times is due to the party which legslates
and always has egislated in the interest of big
business
1t takes money to conduct campaign and
the amount needed to finance the primary cam
paign and the general election must come through
liberal contributions of men who want to see their
country put back on business basis. Let demo-

ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE

The debt of England to the United States has
been much discussed and while it is promised
that Lloyd George will make statement to the
House of Commons relative to war debts this
week, the attitude of the British government has
already been definitely expressed by representa-
tive English statesmen who recognize the "com-
plete and absolute necessity of fulfilling these OBJ
igatons.

The most recent bit of political strategy on
the part of Republicans has been the publication
of quotations from Mrs. J. j. Blaine, wife of the
governor, and Mrs. r. M. LaFollette, wife of
the senior senator. One tells of "the tug at his
heartstrings" as he considered pardons and the
other tells of his fight against the ring in
achieving success. The political game requires
live understanding of psychology. sg

THE FILIPINOS

For some years the Filipino people have been
urging the United States to grant their indie
pendence. While this has been going on many
Americans have been totally uniformed about
them and they have no realization of how well
civilized these oriental people are. The islands
have population of 10,500,000 people of which
ten millions are Christians. The percentage of
literacy is now seventy, or twenty-five per cent
better than when the United States assumed SOW
reignty over the territory The Christian peoples
are said to live in perfect harmony. The greater
majority of governmental officials are natives,
including the chief justice of the supreme court
In recent plea for independence, one Filipino

and ideals are daily brought home to the chill

mony of the people, Jose p Melencio recently
wrote "And what is more remarkable-we need

Too Much Red Tape Involved.
(Randolph Herald. }

In certain towns action has been
taken under the Vermont law prohibit
ing the use, during the soft road season
rains, of motor vehicles, esp ecially
oaded trucks. when such use would al
most certainly do great damage to these
roads. 1t is very unfortunate that un-
der our system of divided authority so
much machinery is required to get a
imple and sensible thing DONE The
state commissioner, the district COM
missioner, the selectmen and perhaps
others all have to sit in solemn judg-
nent and approval, due notice has to be
given by posting and publication, and
| lot of red tape unwound. Meanwhile
The trucks have probably done their
worst. A general law, applicable to all
offences of unnatural damage to public
highways from any cause at any time.
and special effort to enforce it, would
cover this prticular threat and many
others, much better, we believe !.

TACT

Women are notably tactful in social
life. 1t appears that they can be tact
full, too, in public life, notwithstanding
the record of certain public English
woman who recently condescended to
enlighten Americans on things in gem
eral The present reference is to Lady
Astor, formerly Nancy Langhorne of
Virginia Asked her opinion about Mar
got Asquith, she replied:
Il am not going to discuss Mrs. As
quith or any other individual. All can
say is that she is no more typical, av-
erage Englishwoman than she is a typi-
cal average American woman I might
say she is unique, and 1 would not be
far wrong"
Which reminds one, somehow, of the
college president who, when asked his
opinion of an unpopular and Intellectual
young professor of celebrated lineage, re
piled:
professor Blank is the son of his
father and the grandson of his grand
father"
Lady Astor has been called the most
popular woman in England" and her
combined intelligence, tact and sport
ing spirit make the distinction quite
credible. As a sort of national guest.
she is a welcome relief after the bitter
critic whom she refuses to criticize.

Timorous souls who fear another Ger
man war soon and credit every wild
tale of German guns hidden away and
German armies drilling for a new Tag
do not take into account such facts as
these, recently made public in Berlin by
General Altrock:
For every hour of the last long war,
Germany lost As men killed and JOG
wounded.
The total number of Germans killed
was 1,S0S,00O.
The total number of wounded was
4,246,OO0.
Directly and indirectly, he reckons the
total loss of life in Germany, caused by
the war, at 100000
Those 100000 German soldiers
killed or wounded are 100000 argu-
ments in themselves against starting any
more trouble of the same kind. Can it
be imagined that any relative of a dead
German or any German still suffering
from wounds or remembering his past
suffering, is capable of thrilling today at
the thought of future combat as all of
them thrilled in 1914? They know now
what war is.

CULTIvATING GOOD WILL.


1t was a timely warning that Secre-
tary of State Hughes gave, the other
day, in addressing the Daughters of the
American Revolution-not warning to
the Daughters themselves, but a sermon
sent over their heads to. a large and
persistent set of American trouble-mak-
ers who sometimes operate under a mask
of patriotism. He said:
In the field of international affairs
recklessness of statement is especially
injurious to the interests of the country
Some editors and public men write and
speak as though what they said of for
,eign peoples and their governments
could not be seen or heard beyond the
three-mile limit
The first duty of a people that desires
peace IS to cultivate good will, and the
only cure for Incorporate statement is
the resentment of an intelligent COM
munity.
Let it be understood that those who
indulge IN diatribes against foreign peO-
pies and their governments, who hold
them up to ridicule, who impute to them
base motives and asperse their honor are
enemies first of their own country and
as such deserve universal censure.
If any irresponsible speaker or writer
continues to commit the sort of offense
criticized by Secretary Hughes, and es-
pecially if he processes to do it in the
name of 100 per cent Americanism, -
he should be brought to his senses. This
particularly is no time for international
SANDER and abuse. Most of the evils
from which the world is suffering today
are the result of cultivating i'll will
among nations and races, when it is
just as easy and immensely more profit
able to cultivate good will
