The failure ot King Emmanuel to secure a cabinet unpopular with the
people and hi- compulsion to call in Premier Salandro shows how some
limited Monarchial systems can Hi* superior to some republican forms of
government. Emmanuel called on Marcora. the leader of the peace crowd,
to form a cabinet. Hie people objected. Evidently the King called on others
and all refused -o that Salandro had to be called hack to power and the de
mand- ot the jicopie acceded to. The reason for all this is that no man would
want to lx- prime mini.-ter in an unpopular government under the system in
vogue in countri - where governments can In* turned out of power by the
representatives ot the people at any time. In the British parliament, and,
no doubt, in tin Italian parliament, an adverse vote in the representative or
lower house mean- the defeat ot the government and defeat means that the
support of the country i- gone. I'hen comes resignation. So. no man wants
to take the leading place in a government that would not have the popular
support,
When we here in the l nited Stales become too much inclined to think
we have the he-t form of government in the world we should think more
carefully. When a government i- elected here it is no longer the servant
of the people but then masters until the period lived by the constitution ex
pires. I nquestionahly the l nited States has the “most free government
on earth hut while in many respects it gives more freedom to the individual
it gives too much freedom to the government.
\fter the discovery of each of the big placer camps we were accustomed
to hear over and over again that after the exhaustion of the placer gold “Al
aska would go hack to tin natives.” Doubters then, as doubters do now,
were accustomed to a-k “Where will the trade come from? I he best com
mentary on these pe-.-um-tu* predictions i- shown in the cable which arrived
yesterday telling that the trade ot Vla-ka has doubled in ten years.
Right today in Seward people are asking the same old questions, they
want to know where the revenues the trade the development, etc. "ill come i
from. What i- to keep up Seward besides the railroad work? What is there ,
around here? If yarn talk about the minerals they smile. Talk about the
fisheries and they laugh. Vgriculturc—oh, there’s nothing to it. The lesson
to he taken from the progress of Vla.-ka and all other virgin countries is lost ■
on them. If they cannot see ihe resources on top ol the ground they refuse j
to believe in their existence. \nd. yet, they are the same people who laugh- |
ingly speak of the chechacoes who quit placer camps because they found it
necessary to use a pick and shovel to get the gold.
Down deep in the bosom of every new land are hidden resources as the j
tish are hidden in the sea. We have enough of those ti.-h biting now to prove j
their presence hut only the omniscient power that created new lands can tell J
how plentiful they are.v
