TOO MUCH FLEXIBILITY

WTHEN you let your gaze wander in the
w general direction of France, you are apt
to conclude that there is a great deal TO be
said in favor OF the somewhat stiff and cum
bersome type Of government which the United
States enjoys.
The commonest criticism OF the American
form Of government Is that it is slow TO re-
spond TO shifts in popular feeling. An Ad
ministration has a four-year term of office
and there is no way on earth for the people
10 shorten that term no matter how greatly
they may disagree with the Administration s
policies.
In France the situation is just the reverse.
The government there is almost like a
weather-yane, compelled to veer about in
obedience to the slightest change iii public
opinion on penalty of being blown down if it
fails to do so.
Since the formation Of the Clemenceau
cabinet IN 1917, France has had upward OF
80 governments. A few have lasted as long as
two years at stretch; others have lasted only
a few days. The recent government of Pre-
mier Fernand Bouisson endured exactly three
days and % hours; Herriot once headed one
which fell in 48 hours.
All Of this indicates a degree Of fexibility
even more pernicious than tie stiffness of the
American system.
You can best understand how it works by
remembering that the French premier must
resign whenever he is defeated on an impor-
tant vote in the Chamber of Deputies. Thai
would be equivalent, over here, to having a
President resign instead of using the veto.
When you recall that every recent President
has used the veto a number OF times, you can
see what an extreme lack of stability the
French system creates.
Installed in the United States it would put
every President completely at the mercy of
Congress. He could not fight Congress, for
if Congress voted him down he would go out
Of office. He could hardly even lead. His
chief function would be to follow; and when
you consider the extreme diversity of opiu-
ions reflected in any large legislative body you
can see that in many cases even this would
be impossible.
The pecularities of parliamentary govern
ment in France are not perhaps of very great
importance in the United States. But the
infexibility of the American form of gov
eminent frequently comes under attack; and
when it does it is comforting to reflect that
too much f1exibility can be worse than not
enough.

MURDER THROUGH THE YEARS

children playing in field near Wilma,
~ Poland. the other day found an old shell,
buried in the soil since World War days. They
began. ignorantly, to play with it. 1t exploded,
and IA children we're killed.
This sort of tragedy is not uncommon in
Europe. where there are many battle1elds
sovn with high explosives. 1t is a dreadful
commentary on the far-reaching effects of
the last war. and it is even grimmer fore
cast on the next one.
There probably is not man on earth so
cruel and heartless that he would not do all
in his power to save group of children from
destruction, if he found them playing with an
unexploded shell. And yet--what are We to
say for ourselves, when we reflect that every
great nation is busily preparing for new war
in which the murder of children by high eX-
plosives will be taken for granted?

IN A TECHNICAL TANGLE

THE way in which the law Will go all the
Il way around Robin Hoods barn to nail
down a seemingly unimportant point occa-
sionally impresses the layman, as foolish. But
now and then court case pops up to prove
that this extreme care with obscure details is
necessary.
An example was furnished recently by an
accident to a longshoreman at Port Huron,
Mich. This man was on ship, helping to
unload it. when he was struck by a swinging
boom, a flying cable, or something and
knocked of the deck on to the dock and in
jured.
He sued the steamship line for compensa-
ton under the longshoremens act, and the
owners replied that he should sue under the
Michigan compensation act, since he was
hurt not aboard snip, but when he hit the
dock-on Michigan soil, under the jurisdiction
OF Michigan laws!
When a seemingly simple can de-
velop technicality like that, it is evident
that there is a sound reason for the extreme
completely of legal language.

MONDAY. JUNE 10 1895


MO one calls 1t sacrilege when the ~opposi-
ton" aims haymaker at the President.
or when Congress is called ugly names. All
that is taken as part Of the game.
But when the Supreme Court is attacked
the cry Of irreverence is always raised.
Yet our government is founded on the the
DRY Of equality as among the three branches.
executive. legislative and judicial. Why there
fore the urge TO shield the one from the brick
bats that ny so freely at the other two? We
believe there is an explanation.
The Supreme Court has come to be a sym
Dol II isn't, for example. that there is more
reverence for Mr.. Hughes. the chief justice.
than there was for Hughes. the presidential
nominee. but rather that there is reverence
for the thing back OF Hughes. which he, as
chief justice. interprets
Respect ior our form Of government. as a

the Constitution is an expression Of that form.
Hence an attack on the court is interpreted
as a blow at or government itself. whereas
an attack on the President o. OF Congress Is
merely a blow al an Administration which, if

In our opinion, reverence is all right up TO

Where the Constitution sets forth the

an oxcart age or in an age Of airplanes-such
