-t" eminent aim Uu nearly all the actual
i tiling and legislating for forty-five
minion people < her In Germany the
true governing body is the senate of
diiy-eignt representatives, each oneof
hich is appointed by the rulers of
the twenty-six different states which
are united under Prussian rule. With
few exceptions these representatives
are memDers >>f the large land owning'
aristocracy—which classes are thus
the real rulers of the country, Just as
is the case in England. The other
branch of the German parliament, the
reichstag, possesses little real power;
cannot even declare war or make
peace. According to an eminent au
tnurity, me oo-vatiea "popular" gov
ernment is hut ft shadow of the sub
stance, which is really vested in the
aristocratic landholding classes. Un
der the electoral system in vogue, it
is said, that one man has more power
ihan all the other voters in over two
ihousand electoral districts, and this
man is one of the landed aristocracy.
Again it will be seen that, as In thi
• ase of England, the large landowners
are the real rulers of the country. In
Russia the same condition prevails,
tlthough the czar Is nominally the
head of the nation, the actual rulers
are the grand dukes who are, again,
the land owning aristocracy. Out of
all the teeming millions of Russia's
population the land is practically all
owned by something llko two hundred
ihousand families most of which are
noble. In Austria the senate, the con
trolling body, is composed of the great
landowners and hold their position for
life in Hungary over forty per cent
of the land is controlled by the towns
the churches and the aristocracy. In
Bohemia, it is said, thnt less than eight
hundred familes control over one
fourth of all the land.
Italy also is In the same category
with practically CO per cent of the land
in the hands of less than three thou
sand people. In all of the several na
tions the large landowners are also
the controllers of the factories, the
commerce and the Industry of the na
tion. They control, practically, every
source of national wealth. Practical
ly four-fifths of all the revenues de
rived from the land, the commerce
and the Industries of the nation pass,
directly or Indirectly, through their
hands And these nations are what
ire known as the "militaristic" na
tions—the nations that support great
armaments of one nature or another.
Also they are, and always have, been

such nations as Norway and Sweden.
Denmark, Switzerland and the United
.states.
All ol these countries have no landed
aristocntcy.
The land is divided up into small
tiohuugs owned by the people. The
uusiness, the commerce, the industry
is controlled by a very large percen
tage of the citizens of the nation. The
larger portion of all the revenues de
rived from the land and the commer
cial and industrial activities pass not
into the hands of the few but lntc
those of the many. And these are the
peaceful’ nations. Me seldom hear
of any of them being in diiUcuitles
vv 1th their neighbors or with nations
abroad. None of them with the ex
. option of Switzerland, maintain a
standing army of more than indiffer
ent numbers, as compared to the tota
population. None of them have great
ambitious for commercial dominance,
or the extension of the national do
minion. None ot them either seek or
want war. Their whole desire is to
oe left at peace. All are perfectly
willing to live at peace with the world

Impotent pieces of the game he plays
Upon Ills checked board of nights

Illther and thither moves, and checks

»he corruption of language follows

loses significance, it becomes debas

with other symbols beside language.
They become emptied of their royai
signilicance when men lose their roy

the more debased is the soldier, the
more vulgar Is the flag. And so sym

strewn in myriads along our shores,
empty houses which have lost their
tenants, forsaken and lifeless forms.
OUARRELING WITH

I
Siuiue people ail as il Uiej wcip
i.ilwais jusl a few inluuies behiud lUuc.
li Uiej could catch up their Uvea would
lie serene, but they never do catch
| up. breathlessly they go through tin
| day as if in pursuit of a phumom.
I Often they live under a great nervous
| tension. At tlie end of the day they
! are exhausted, one hear# them speak
■is if ihsy were subjected to great
trials, including overwork, but, as a
matter of tact, the trouble lies wholh
within themselves. If they would only
calm down and do guietly and serenc
ly what they have to do life would
take on a wholly different aspect for
them, becoming. Instead of a torment,
a source of peace and happiness.
Ther are those who seem to be afraid
of being ahead of time. If they make
an appointment they can’t endurt
keeping it pdomptly. They hate to bt
on hand a minute or two In advance.
That minute or two Is too precious.
They must not be wasteful. Besides,
In the interval, what would they do?
The thought of Idly waltng is distress
ing. And yet such people are nearly
always wasteful of time. They do a
good deal of Idling. What Is more ser
ious, by being late they keep others
waiting and encroach on time not their'
own.—John D. Barry. j
