Our
Form of Government
Our


What is our form of government in
these days of rapidly changing condi-
tions? William Tyler Page, former
Clerk of the U. S. House of Represen-
tatives, answers the question in an
interesting way and describes some of
the changes which are now taking
place, in story under the caption
"Our Form of Government" in the
current issue of the National Repub-
lie. In part, Mr.. Page says:
"Our republican form of govern
ment. Has it changed? This theme
is one that should arrest the serious
thought and consideration Of every
American citizen. Especially should
it be one profoundly to engage the
attention of educators.
'In his immortal Farewell Address,
George Washington said in proper
ton as the structure of a government
gives force to public opinion, it should
be enlightened
Before venturing an answer to the
question Has our republican form Of
government changed it is vital that
we have a clear understanding of
what is meant by republican form
of government Modern writer's in
dulge in loose governmental terminol-
ogy-a dangerous practice. The
terms republic and democracy are
used today, the latter more frequent
ly, as though they were synonymous,
as though they mean the same thing.
AS a matter of fact, as descriptive of
government, they are as widely sepa-
rated in their meaning as the poles.
Several years ago the late Calvin
Coolidge in one of his articles said
Mostly because of developments
in some foreign countries we find con-
siderable discussion of whether de-
mocracy is not proving failure. Very
great things have been expected of
that form of government
This was very unusual in Mr. Cool
idge, in whose writings and speeches
hitherto he was careful to call our
government a republic.
Gently, but timorously, 1 took Mr.
Coolidge to task for the application OF
very much abused word to our form
of government, saying in letter tc
him:
Having read Madison's definitions
of the terms democracy and republic
in the Federalist I have learned to de-
cry the use of the former as meaning
form of government and studiously
use the term republic when referring
to our own system. While, of course
we are a self-govening people and in
that sense democracy we chose
rather deliberately to establish a re-
publican form of government through
which the opinions of the democracy
might be clarified.
q L think can see a very real dan
ger in the republican form of gov
eminent, already emasculated by
modern departures from the origina.

term democracy as meaning form OF

loved President graciously replied:

.Incendiarist Is
Suspected In Fire
ShipHeadG Gives Reason.
AS Basis For Belief
Ship Was Fired

New York-At the investigation
into the probable cause of the con-
flagration which sent nearly two
passengers of the ill-fated
MORO Castle to an untimely grave
three of the officers of the steamer
gave testimony before the Federal
Investigating body that the fire
which resulted in such a human
holocaust was of incendiary origin.
They agreed that the fire started
in a&closet in the library or lounge
and burned through a panel of the
door before spreading throughout
the ship. They agreed that a light
ed cigarette could not have been
responsible in the first instance and
are positive that the great ship
which now lies off the coast of As
bury Park, N. J. a mass of charred
woodwork and steel and its hun
dreds of human victims in various
undertaking establishments, was
not struck by lighting. None of
these officers could account for
the rapidity with which the fire
spread throughout the ship.
The chief officer of the ship said
that he suspected. the fire was of
incendiary origin, basing his belief
the fact hat an attempt had
been made to fire the boat on its
previous voyage.
When, speaking about the ear
lier fire, Warns said someone set
it," Inspector General Dickerson
N. Hoover of the steamboat in
spection service asked "how do
you know"
II found charred paper on the
CARGO he said.
The company's formal report of
hat fire produced at the hearing
with the details of the chief
officers story.
Warns said the first word of fire
he had was at 2:45 a. m. when the
night deck Waterman informed
"He reported he had seen smoke
and fire coming out of v%entilators
