DEMOCRACY LOSES ITS FEAR OF
KINGS RULE
(By BRUCE CATION

The World War, as we all fondly hoped,
was fought to make the world safe for
democracy Since the existence of king
is usually an obstacle in democracy's path,
one of our greatest detectives was to see
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs chased away
from their thrones forever.
We got our wish. Or, at any rate, we
though we did. The central powers lost
their royal families, and in the dark days
that followed We felt that this, at least,
was one definite and positive benefit gained
by the war And now Austria prepares to
invite the Hapsburgs back to their ancient
throne-and almost nobody seems to be
especially worried about it!
1t would be an nonic thing if, II years
after the war, young Archduke Otto should
return to Austria at the invitation of the
people who disowned him; yet the tide Of
history can pull in some strange directions,
at times, and the confusion of the postwar
years may resolve itself in an altogether
unexpected manner. 800.
But the significant point about this par
ticular development is not that Austria
wants the Hapsburgs back but that nobody
else seems inclined to object very much.
1t reflects Widespread public disillusion-
ment with the avowed obpects for which
the war was fought. More than that il
reveals our recognition of the fact that
democracy can be effectively and thorough
ly stifled even when there is no king with
in thousand miles.
Russia lost its car and Germany lost its
kaiser-yet there is actually less democ-
racy in those two countries than there was
before the war. Italy has kept it's king,
deprived him of power-and, simultane-
ously, has knocked democracy on the
head Austria and Hungary discarded the
Hapsburgs, and got less freedom instead
of more.
All of this has grown out of an intense
human WEAKNESS, mingled with fear, SUE
pieion and a growing lack of confidence in
the ability of people in the mass to solve
their problems. The trend has been toward
strong authoritarian governments. Democ-
racy is no longer in danger from kings, but
from a widespread feeling that democracy
itself is played out.
This being the case, why should not Aus
tria recall the Hapsburgs if she pleases
We who still cling to the democratic ideal
need not worry about that. 1t is our task
to prove that democracy can, after all
prove an effective means of government in
world that lives in a continual state OF
crisis.
If we can do that, the return of Arch
duke Otto will prove one of the least inl-
portant of all postwar developments.

Upward Trend Seen
In Dairy Farming
By Federal Census
Preliminary Statement Of De-
partment OF Commerce Shows
Change Significant

If the increase in the number of
cows indicated by the preliminary re-
port of the Federal Government can
be taken as a real criterion, Mont
gomery County is definitely slated to
be a dairying community in the flu
ture.
An upward trend in dairy farming
in Montgomery County, is shown by
an increase of almost one-fourth in
the number of cows between 1880 and
1885, according to the 1885 Federal
Farm Census preliminary report just
released by Director William L. Aus
tin, Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce.
This gain in cows mas been associ-
ated with an increase of about 80 per-
cent in hay average and SO percent in
production during the last five years.
Most significant of the change in the
acreage of the various crops has been
81 percent reduction in wheat. Bar
ley has increased threefold while rye
has almost doubled. Tobacco declined
from FOG to "a acres.
Montgomery had about percent
fewer farms and 1 percent less land
in farms in 1885 than in 1880. The
average size of the farms was 1889
acres and the average value of land
and buildings per farm was $1O,973
in 1885.
Final statistics for the 1885 Farm
Census are to be presented by coun-
ties in. a bulletin for Maryland. The
State bulletin may be secured at a
nominal charge from the Superintend-
emit of Documents, Government Print
ing Office, Washington, D. C.
