OLD MEN AT THE TOP.

Midlah men still remain on top In thin
war after a year of hard lighting. Thi
four conspicuous commanders are Jof

the Germans; French of the English

Russians. All are well up In the stx

record for all time before he was kiliei 1

; NO REALLY GOOD GOVERNMENT
(Saturday Evening Post.;
Absolutely speaking, no such thing as
■' k’’t ffood government has ever been known
Abbut all imaginable forms have been
i tried and every one has shown notable :
,, fallings. Government itself is at most
°fl*y half a good thing. Its most im
portant functions are a product of hu
man failings. Probably a community
of saints would have no use for any
«.{J government.
Government is undergoing a tremend
jj ous efficiency test Just now. Considered
,»!’ ns an organization for conducting the ,
^ public business of a great community,
'j, th« government of the United States
la undoutedly Inferior to Hint of Ger
$ many. But government is more than
,i merely a concern for carrying on pub
j.; 11c business. It is a compact, a bond
t that involves our wills and at least po
tentially touches all our relations
Personally we would much rather toi
,i wate the weaknesses of our form of
* government than have a map in the
I i United States in whose presence it was
4> not permissible to stand with a hat
j. on. and concerning whom one could
.! not If one were so minded, lawfully
j, express the opinion that he was an ass
■id f -obably a free government can never
*>• •« efficient as a bossed one. That
seems to bo one of the inherent defects
