British monarchy. reduced that prob

British monarchy, reduced that prob
lem to manageable dimensions.
But the rise of the dictators has
made it question of the most anxious
concern, not merely to the countries
directly interested, but to the whole
Of Europe The monarch is a symbol
in Britain he is the symbol Of the
sovereignty of Parliament-andw when
he dies the symbol passes to his heir
at-law. But the dictator is not
symbol: he is a personal power. His
triumph is only achieved by the over
throw of the hereditary principle, and
the essence Of a dictatorship is that
it cannot be bequeathed, as Cromwell
himself showed 1t can only be
snatched by another dictator.
+
The modern relationships, as the
Manchester Guardian observes in dis
cussing the Pilsudski succession. are
all without tradition and their luStre
is new and artificial. Instead Of lustre
and tradition, there are the personal
characteristics of the dictator, often
heightened by stage effects to make
him appear something extraordinary, a
sort of superman. These character
istics replace the compelling magic Of
kingship and in so far as they are
adapted to the characteristics or sup
posed characteristics of the nation,
they do lend to the dictatorship GER
tain power as symbol.
But such a symbol is purely personal
and non-transferable. 1t perishes
with the holder. And no one can say
what follows when a power so isolated
and rootleSs is withdrawn. When
some years ago I asked Count Sforza
what vision he had of the fate of Italy
when the rod of power fell from the
grasp of Mussolini, he said that he
anticipated a period Of undisguiSed
military rule as the only possible ex-
pedient.
That is probably the shape which
succession to the relationships will
take everywhere. For dictatorship
without dictator is Hamlet" without
the Prince of Denmark.
Hitler's dictatorship, which began
as pseudo Socialist revolt against
the political powers in control OF the
republic, has shifted to frankly mill
tary basis and can exist only so long
as the Reichswehr is loyal to him. As
for Mussolini, his histrionics-and he
is incomparably the greatest actor on
the stage-are all conceived In the
Napoleonic vein. Each in his way
Stain, Hitler, Mussolini-is preparing
the way for his successor to the die
tatorShip, and in each case the sue
cessor will be the man who can snatch
the military power and make the army
the master of the state.
Doubtless democracy will revive
again in Europe. but it would be
daring prophet who expected that that
revival would take place soon. The
present phase of the relationships and
the next phase of unequivocal military
deSpotism have to be exhausted before
popular government can hold up its
head again in Central Europe. 1t Is
the apprehension of this fact that ex-
plains the extraordinary intensity with
which the recent jubilee of the King
was celebrated In this country. 1t was
not only the jubilee of the monarch,
1t was the jubilee of free people.

The Re.routing Orders.

The broad objective Of the Public
Utilities Commission in its re-routing
orders has been to bring about
maximum Of the improved service
resulting from more direct and more
logically arranged routes and schedules
with a minimum of disruption of
riding habits. Routes of street car
lines in Washington were developed
in competition between separately
owned and operated systems. There
were numerous cases Of wasteful
duplication in some quarters and of
inadequate service in others. The
physical merger Of the lines elm
mated one difficulty. The changes in
tracks and switches under the COM
mission orders some months ago were
designed to iron out the kinks, and
the order of last Friday, establishing
new routes and changing others, prac-
tically completes the long-delayed
steps preliminary to the improved
service promised as the result of the
unified operation of the lines.
The commission frankly disavows
any hope of great improvement in
service to result from these changes
alone. Washington is faced, in the
first place, with unique problem in
mass transportation that defieS solu-
ton under present conditions: prob
lem that results from the movement
to and from work, within short
period, of the mass of Government
employees whose offices have been 10
Gated in such manner as to make
more acute the existing congestion
of downtown Washington. The au-
thorities have not paid sufficient at
tention to the need for facilitating
the movement of street cars on Ger
tain important streets by eliminating
parking. And the benefits of re-
routing will be negligible unless the
street car company does its part in
the provision of modern equipment
and the other improvements that
lie within its power to make.
The interest in re-routing itself is
sectional. depending upon how new
plans will affect the riders ability to
get from his home and back again.
The plans for Chevy Chase hold only
nominal interest for the resident Of
Brookland. But the street car COM
pany's petition to the Public Utilities
Commission to abandon Connecticut
avenue street cars from Calvert street
to Chevy Chase Lake in favor of buses
will claim almost as much attention
as the whole series of re-routing
orders. For such move would repre-
sent the most decided trend away
from the street car toward the bus
as a mass transportation agency
yet evidenced in Washington. The
commission presumably intends to
wait for expression of community
sentiment before acting on the petit
ton. On the whole, it would seem
to represent a most desirable move.
The bus service suggested by the COM
pany would be more flexible in serving
the large community on both sides of
Connecticut avenue, in the District
and in Maryland. 1t would be cheaper
to operate, less susceptible to the tie
ups of bad weather, and the elm
ination of car tracks from Connecticut
avenue-tracks which are badly in
need Of repair and renewal-would do
much to lessen congestion on that
important artery,

Credit Conditions Show
Retail Trade Improved
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Judged by the credit conditions dur
ing 1884, retail trade in the United
States has improved substantially over
to the Department of Commerce state
that their volume of goods sold last
year was IA per cent greater than
in 1898.
Moreover, payments on all sorts of
credit accounts were made much more
promptly. month by month. in 1884
than in 1888. And finally, there were
marked decreases in bad-debt losses
on practically all accounts.
These are the conclusions drawn by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in its annual retail credit
survey, just made public. This time
the survey is on an annual basis, in
stead of semi-annual as formerly, and
the scope has been broadened to in
clude a greater variety of retail trade,
as well as a wider geographical rep
reSentation. In this report, data are
presented for II kinds of retail trade
and for 79 cities.
For the more than 500 reporting
stores there was recorded in the reg
ular charge accounts collection per-
centage of just short Of AZ per cent,
as compared with 81 per cent in 1888
This improvement shows reversal of
the almost steady downward trend
of the preceding four years. The
average length of time that accounts
receivable we're outstanding (that is,
the average length of time that the
retailers dollars were tied up), was
u days in 1884 and 81 days in 1888.
This, of course. shows a considerable
reduction in the cost of extending
credit.
The average length Of time for
which installment accounts (that is,
recognized long credit. were out
standing was 207 days in 1894, as
against 242 days in 1893. On the
whole, says the report, customers of
retail stores throughout the United
States not only paid their installment
obligations in shorter period of time
during 1884, but made new purchases
on inStallments in greater proportion
to cash sales than formerly.
Average bad-debt losses showed
marked decreases in 1884 from the fig
ures of 1893: indeed, they were re-
duced to about one-half. Considering
all the stores reporting, some 300 had
individual open-credit loss percentages
of half of ! per cent, or less, for 1884,
as compared with only some 200 hav-
ing such low figures for 1888.
The retail credit surveys OF the De-
partment of Commerce are made at
the request of the National Retail
Credit Association, which Is represent
ative of the credit-granting retail mer-
chants of the country. One of the
main purposes of these studies is to
help merchants or their credit man
ayers to develop more intelligent
credit management through research
and education.
The compilers of this particular sur
vey point to what they call the "accel-
Grafton of payments on accounts re-
ceivable" as one of the most encour-
aging aspects of the present business
situation.
The survey would seem to indicate
that the chances of collection, while
decreasing rapidly as the account
grows older, are not so hopeless as
they were a couple of years ago. In
fact, the figures collected in this sur
vey show q generally healthy condi-
ton of retail collections and bad
debt losses. .-.

TIL 30. 1885. by their
1he age OF the standards it is GER
New World. tainly not much
age to brag of.
Four lives Of reasonable length would
span the period. and St Augustine
ranks as our oldest city. The thought
is truly mortifying one to all Amer
leans who yearn for ancestors.
And yet the New World is not so
very new and is only called so by nu-
man conceit. 1t was not new even In
the time Of Columbus, for the Morse
men had discovered it ages before.
Ard they found the Continent full OF
people. How they got here and when
nobody knows. If mankind comes
from one pair of ancestors perhaps
the original American pair were watt
&c across the ocean on the wings of
angels, much as Eliza crossed on the
p:nioDs of her brothers in Andersens
story Of the wild swans. Be that as
1t may, they got here, and that long
time ago, for America has even that
pledge of even aristocratic descent,
ruin. The buried cities of Yucatan
have as respectable an antiquity as
any in the alleged Old World. As to
their age, experts differ. Mr.. Ayme
regards them as only antedating by a
few trifling thousands Of years the
commonly received date of the birth
OF Aoam, while DR.. lie Plongeon's fig
TRES are geological. And not to speak
OF extinct families, there are doubt
less natives in this country on the
plains today who, If they only knew
1t, could reckon back an ancestry
through one generation Of mugwumps
after another which would put to
shame the heraldries of Virginia, Bos-
ton, Europe or Asia.
Moreover, the history OF this coun-
try has been written in the rocks, and
it is very ancient one. Our fos-
sils are as prodigious, as uncouth and
have as hard names as any in the
world. Nor are all our Oldest families
yet extinct. Every time we consume
six fellow-mortals on the half shell
we destroy life which can boast of
descent beside which all human
pride is vanity itself. And, to come
right down to facts, We are all old, are
born old, for we are dust, and Amer
lean dust is probably as old as Euro
pean."
