GERMANS ITCH FOR
PROMISED REPORTS
Following tlie overthrow oi tli ■
Russian Czar, Philip Scheidmann, the
great Socialist leader in the reiclistag
savs in the socialist newspaper, Vor
n aerts:
“It does not require many words !■>
explain why almost the whole world
is arrayed against us. J'he answer is
j’ven quickly. The whole world seei
c nong our enemies more or less de
veloped forms of democracy and in
ns it sees only Prussians.
"We have always answered by ref
erring to the absolutism of Russia,
hut now czarism has gone and the
» niperor's successor is to accept the
throne only if the representatives of
the people agree. These representa
tives are to be elected on the basis of
miversal suffrage.
“In Asia the empire of the man
darins opposed every reform. They
desired an emperor with absolute
power as long as he did their will and
thereby undermined the monarchy
and laid the foundations of a repub
lic. In the European central empires
similar spirits seek to build similar
Chinese walls and hinder every re
form. The clock shows five minues
to 12. They imagine they hold up
the time when they move back the
hands to 1 1.
“Why does the chancellor shrink
hack now from unconditional neces
sity/ Always the hesitator, the pro
• lastinator, Bethmann-Hollweg wants
to begin to cure Prussia after the war.
Russia also promised all reforms aft
er the war, but the war lasted too
long for the Russians.
“Why postpone till tomorrow what
is absolutely necessary today, what
even the king himself declared years
ago was one of the most urgent mat
ters of the business of the state? Now
the time for decisive action.
“The difficulties which might arise
it the government adopts the reich
stag system of elections for Prussian
elections are as a featherweight as
compared with the difficulties which
will come if it does not do this. The
chancellor should not delay one day.
The Prussian people, as well as the
other German states, will stand as
one man by his side if he acts de
cisively.”

some time.
“You think about your business too
much,” said the family physician.
“Get your mind off your business:
Take some mental recreation.”
“Well, what’ll I take?”
“Instead of sitting around the of

about your troubles, go over to the

"No, that ain’t any good—I tried
