world a government official of a given
nation represents that nation in its en-
tirety; what he says or does is the
word or action of all the millions OF
people in his country, and will live in
mems minds and in history, imperish-
ably. as a definition of that country S
character. There might be a specious
exception to such a broad statement
if country should formally repudiate
an utterancc or action on the part OF
one of its government officials. But
that is seldom done; if it is done at all,
it is most likely to be accomplished in
an irconspicuous way.
Poincare quoted Bismarck to the Ger
mans. who, after all that has taken place
since the iron chancellor'S" time, may
or may not feel proud of his record.
But whether they revere or dcspise his
memory. they cannot plead, in the pres
ent or any other situation adverse to
them, that Bismarck'S deeds and poll
cies did not represent the will of Ger
many.
The people of any nation are SOW
ereign by nature. That is, they possess
within themselves the natural power
to govern their country. If they fail
to make use of that power, so much
the worse for them.
AS purely abstract matter, what
Bismarck said or did would have no
logical bearing upon the question of
what France may properly do to collect
what Germany owes her and to protect
herself against possible future attack
from her traditional enemy. But the
matter is not abstract The world does,
and doubtless always WILL hold nation
responsible for the policies and deeds OF
its government officials. 1t is only nat
ural to assume that if the people of
any country are not pleased with what
their officials say or do they will cast
out the old officials and install new
ones, and formally announce that they
have been misrepresented If they do
not make such use of the power inner
ent within them, they will have only
themselves to blame when the records
of their officials are used against them.

ONE ACT OF ECONOMY

A member of the Texas House of
Representatives flew into a rage because
less than "A hours would elapse between
the time set for the sine die adjourn
ment of the regular session of the
Thirty-eighth Legislature and the time
fixed by Governor Neff for the conven-
ing of the special session. The interim.
this law-naker bitterly complained,
would be just two hours short of a full
day, and therefore the legislators-all
of thenl-would be beat out OF" the
extra mileage to which they would have
been technically entitled
Governor Neff certainly has a "mean
disposition" hasn't he? The very idea
of refusing to allow several hundred men
to reach into the peoples pockets for
money to pay for trip they did not
take
Just what particular object, if any,
the governor had in view when he
treated the legislators so inconsiderately,
no one but the governor can pretend to
know. The representative who could
not contain his resentment charged that
the states chief executive acted Gust
for spite" There is no law to prevent
one from drawing that conclusion.
Neither can the people of Texas be pre-
vented from applauding the effect of the
time element in the governors message
irrespective of what may have been his
motive, or whether he had any, for pre-
venting the legislators from drawing al
lowances to which they were not, in
good conscience, entitled.
If Governor Neff acted in retalia-
tory spirit, with the idea of getting
back at those who had refused to en-
act the measures he had urged. the tax
payers would still have a right to ap-
plaud-not, however, to express appre-
citation of that spirit, but to show their
qualification over the fact that economy
in the states affairs had been practiced
in at least one instance.
But if in fixing the time for the con-
vening of the special session the gov
crnor had IN mind the money that would
be saved to the taxpayers, or was
moved by spirit of economy. then not
only the effect of his action. but the
proper regard for the people which such
spirit would show, should be ap-
plauded unstintingly.

tional shocks or prolonged emotional
stresses. These presumably are in
directly through affecting the auto
nomic nervous system and the glandu-
lar organs. But this would mean that
temperament was to large extent de-
pendent on mental as well as physical
influences, and might in the last an
alysis be resultant not of inherit
ance SO much as OF peculiarities &C.
quired in the process of being born
and from the environmental condi-
tons of early life.
Which, of course, offers a more
hopeful prospect than does the at
tribution of temperament to an I'M
escapable heredity. Certainly it gives
parents warrant for believing that,
through proper prenatal care and the
shaping of favorable home environ
ment for their little ones, the likeli-
hood of those little ones possessing
desirable temperaments will be vastly
increased.

Temperament
BY II. Addington Bruce.

Temperament is one OF the great
puzzles of psychology. To explain it.
psychologists usually resort to that
convenient grab-bag, heredity. But
they are much at odds as to just what
Inherited factors give rise to tenn
permanent.
Some are content to dismiss the
problem with Jastrow's easy formula,
The temperamental is at once the
generic expression of Inheritance and
its specific value in the individual"
Others, trying to delve a little deep
er, fix on this or that element in the
psycho-p physical organism as determin-
ing the temperament inherited.
Thus there is one group of psychol-
ogists who hold that temperament
is due to a varying inheritance of in
stinctive tendencies. BY another
group inherited differences in the So
called autOnomic nervous system are
supposed to account for differences in
temperament.
More recently it has come into fash
ion to link temperament with the
workings of the endocrine glands. Let
a man inherit a tendency for one
particular gland or set of glands to
function to excess, the theory runs,
and he will inevitably display spe-
cifie traits of one sort or another, be-
ing temperamentally bold or tempera-
mentally timid. temperamentally joy
full or temperamentally doleful, as the
case may be.
At least one psychologist - J. w.
Bridges Of the University of Toronto
insists that the correct explanation
Of temperament is found only when
one recognizes that these differing the
cries all hold a measure of truth. So
that "the Inheritance of temperament
is the inheritance of endocrinal and
autonomic relationships.
But even this does not, after all,
advance us very far toward clear
ing the mystery of temperament. In
deed. in an important sense il makes
that mystery deeper. For it suggests
that temperament is not the fixed. I'M
changing force it is commonly suppos-
ed TO be.
II temperament is matter of
glandular and autonomic relationships
anything which would affect these
would necessarily have a modifying eff
feet on the temperament. And it actu-
ally is notorious that operations on
this or that gland. and infections by
this or that disease germ. often are
followed by remarkable changes in
temperament.
A similar effect may follow emo

QUOTES BISMARCK TO GERMANY

Discussing an international matter
few months ago, THE LIGHT undertook
to show how easy it is for a nation to be
misrerresented by its government and
thus placed in a position calling for the
issuance OF ultimatums or even the
declaration of war The general prin-
ciple which The LIGHT had in mind is
cxemrlified by conditions reported in a
recent Associated Press dispatch from
Paris in which Raymond Poincare, pre-
mier of France, is reported to have
quoted Bismarck" to the Germans who
are complaining about the French occu-
patton of the. Ruhr region.
This is not to say that either Ger
many or France has been misrepresented
by present government officials of those
countries, respectively. But the action
of Premier Poincare certainly shows
that nation is held responsible for the
words and deeds of its government Off
Gals even after they have passed from
earth; even though his measures did
not represent the sentiment OF future
generations, those future generations
would be held accountable for every.
thing he had said and done.

Sometimes it pays to buy pig in q

how, sometimes one must buy that

These moral reflections were

his shoulder blades. Able had become

But his wife held that since he had

Arguments were the more heated be-

cause his own business Judgment told

DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US

From time to time since the world war
there have come to this country reports
! of discrimination practiced against
Americans in European countries by
citizens of such countries. Until re-
Gently. however, European governments
had taken no action OF this nature
against this country or its nationals. A
specious exception was reported by
American travellers. They were rob
bed they said, when they went from
country to country.
There is no denying that Americans
do have to pay extremely heavy customs
charges at border points in Europe. That
is one of the greatest items OF expense
in travelling on the continent But there
has been no indication that such charges
are collected from Americans exclu-
sively, or that exceptions are made in
the case of travellers of any foreign
nationality.
The lack of outright official dis
elimination against Americans would
and its citizens were held in high esteem
in European countries. 1t is generally
known that in some European countries
Americans arc regarded as dcspicable
people because they refused to let their
nation become involved in foreign poll
tics and would not continue to pour out
money for every beggar that called for
loan.
1t is generally known also that the
Allies were quick to take advantage of
Americas action in negotiating sep
arate peace treaty with Germany. They
would not turn over to the United
States, to defray the expenses of main
tanning American troops on the Rhine,
any of the money they collected from
Germany. Although we had helped
them to win the war; and were policing
the Rhine for their benefit, they said
that we ought to have thought about
the little matter of reimbursement when
we made separate treaty with Ger
many.
In none of these cases, however, could
it be proved that the governments of the
Allied nations, or of any of them, had
officially determined to discriminate
against all Americans in definite way.
But now comes the report that Trench
officials have been charged with prac-
ticing discrimination against American
business enterprises in the Ruhr region
The substance of the complaints is that
goods which Americans undertake to
ship out of the Ruhr are held I'D by the
French authorities, and that the ship
pers have to pay double tax to secure
the release of such goods.
If these charges should be confirmed
by State Department agents who have
been directed to make a thorough in
vestigation, the relations between France
and the United States would not be i'm
proved, to say the least. Just what ac
ton Secretary Hughes should take is
question for him and President Harding
20 decide But in the event the investi-
gators should find that the charges were
true, che might conclude that the French
had become embroidered by experience
to put into official practice against
Americans an unfriendly sentiment that
las marked their unofficial attitude to-
ward this country since its refusal to
pledge itself to rush to their aid with
men and money every time they should
get into trouble.
