The French are ruling themselves,
making a success of it. They are
rich, prosperous, sane, thoroughly re
spected and feared by their neighbors.
They prove splendidly the logic of the
French mind and the power of men
to govern themselves when the mass
of the people actually concentrate
their minds on public questions and
upon" government, In France there is
done by the average citizen at least
a thousand times as much earnest
thinking on national polities as is
done In this country. It woujd be
good for the United States if we could
