but he always got his just dues
In the end" said Remy.
Virtue in the person Of the
handsome hero always tri
umphed. Thus the pop-eyed
reader invariably learned that
evil ends in hanging oil sudden

always wins out"
The same moral was empha

United States is least responsive to
the public will of all democracies.
1T is certainly the government most

gressive minorities, groups and local

Too Much Election
THE simple fact is that we Ameri-
ans nave created so much electoral
and governmental machinery that we
can lot get any effective governmental
product. We spend SC much time in
the process of nomination and cleo
ton of public officers. and IN the prep
aration for such nominations and cleo

ingIy ineffective as an instrument for
