UNITED STATES AMONG ....
WORLD’S OLDEST NATIONS
Government Has Remained the
Same For 123 Years
The United States of America
is one of the oldest nations on earth
the Philadelphia Ledger states.
With the exception of England and
Russia it is. as an existing nation,
older than any country in Europe.
And alone in the western world it
has stood for the last 125 years
with an unchanged government.
Its boundaries hare expanded and
its constitution has been amended
and it has gone through civil war;
hat the United States is “ruled"
today as It was ruled in 1189, and
! it is the only western nation that is
The constitution of the United
States of America was adopted ir
the year the French revolution be
gan. Since 1189 Europe has beer
' remade. Among the nations foul
stand out as "ancient”— England,
Russia, Denmark and Spain. Yet
in the last century and a quarter
these countries have lived through
governmental changes that show
beside the stability of the United
States rule as exceedingly signifi
! cant “shifts.”
The changes that have taken
place in the English regime are the
most interesting, because they are
the least known to the world at
large. It is inevitable with us all
that the mention of an “ancient
nation." a “stable government,” the
. “oldest country on earth” should
bring the thought of England to
| our minds.
Bat the government of England,
as we know it today, dates its be
ginning from the year 1832. That
! is the date of the passage of the
first reform bilL These bills—the
first in 1832 the second in
i -S67 and the last in 1884—shifted
the government of England from
iords to commons, from nobles and
: men of great property to the people
themselves, changed the ‘limitation’
of England’s monarchy from a
1 feudal to a popular right Without
revolution, the government of the
! country was effectively revolution
ired.
The striking evolution which be
gan in 1832 with the granting of the
the ballot to the merchants and
; men of small property in the
realm, moved os to it* final step
' in the parliament bill of 1912,
which took away all but “suspensive
veto power” from the house of
' Lords and left the Commons rulers
'of England.
France began its revolution, as all
the world knows, in 1789. Since
; then it has had two empires, three
kinds of kingdoms and three repub
| lies; it has executed one king and
deposed two others, and it has forc
ed each of its two emperors to ad
i dicate. Since the final formation
of the third French republic its
; cabinet has been changed very near
! :y on ar. average of once a year.
Out of the Franco-Prussian war
zrewas every one knows, the pre
sent German empire. In 1789
■ there still existed in central Eu
rope that “Holy Roman Empire,”
I which was as Mr. Bryce has point
< ed out. “neither holy, nor Roman,
nor an empire.” It consisted at
that time of between 350 and 400
separate and practically independ
ent states.

5 as magana, while tsetse flies are
1 the cause ot sleeping sickness.
The spirochaetes of thick fever
j are borne by ticks and a mild fever
is conveyed by sand flies. Plague
j is due to the rat flea which carries
[the parasites in the salivary glands
and leaves them in the flesh of
whomsoever it bites. Mediterra
nean fever is carried principally
by the milk of infected goats. Le
prosy has been attributed to bed
bugs, and some ate even beginning
to think that measles is due to fleas.
