me to be Charlotte's confidential friend and
adviser in her divorce suit. We have
talked things over a lot In fact, the other
night we conversed until 6 o'clock In the
morning and she has come to the con
cision that I would make a very poor wit
ness for her. It does not seem unfortunate
that I should have seen her kiss the Den
ham boy on his nose so often. Se says
his nose is so good looking, especially
after seeing her husband's for any length
of time. Itold her if I had to say any
thing about It on the witness stand I would
explain all that to the court and also tell
them what a purely motherly Interest she
took in him, anyway.
But she says I won't do.
Mr. Cooper and a friend of his saw us
In the motor the other day and Charlotte
happened to be putting marron glace In
the chauffeur's mouth. Whep ahe got
some he told her how much It had an

came quite violent, even after she had
explained that as Henri was driving the
car that was the only way he could eat

Poor Mollle Turner haa been forced ' to

Just discovered that Sam flirts with the
attractive ones, and here is poor Charlotte
having to do the same thing on account
of her chauffeur. Mollle writes me that
her house looks like an old ladles' home
now. I told Charlotte about my Idea of
having Hindoos, and she thinks they would
look very smart. She told me she tried
a Oreek onoe and had him dressed in full
war costume. He couldn't speak a word
of English, and was an Invaluable servant
In every way, until he tried to cut her
French maid's throat one afternoon be
cause she had kissed the head gardener.
The maid had Insisted on leaving, and
Charlotte had discovered that he had been
a well known cut-throat In his own coun
try. It made her so nervous she was finally
obliged to discharge him.
She felt very badly about it and had to
tell him that when she gave him his recom
mendation. She could say he was sober,
honest and Industrious, but she ' would
have to say he cut throats. He got a

These are' most certainly, tf possible, t6

consider It a rule that no man should
propose to a girl unless he has a deunite

they have made a mistake, going drag

with which to pay the claims of married

and chances of a girl's life wasted, or a
man embittered against all women. So,
with rare exceptions, though there may be
an understanding, there should pot be a

he didn't forget to put the salt on the table.
However, to go back ! Honrl I am doing
my best to be tactful, ana persuading
Charlotte to put up with Mr. Cooper'
eccentricities a little longer. I tell her that
all husbands are peculiar in some way. I
told her that If I ever married Tom which,
of course, I never shall I know that he
would simply raise the roof If I ever looked
kindly at a chauffeur, and If he saw me
tying a purple cravat on one, he would kill
us both on the spot Immediately.
She said then never to marry him on any
account unless I had entirely different
looking chauffeurs from the ones generally
employed now.
It seems, from what Henri has told her,
his history haa been a very sad one. Born
in Austria and of distinguished lineage his
father being a baron and owning Immense
estates he was being forced into a mar
riage with a lady of the court who had a
million in her own right. She was very
beautiful, but as he did not love her he
could not bring himself to marry her, and
estranging himself from his family, he left
home and came to America to try and
make a living for himself.
"HONEST. SOBER AND INDUSTRIOUS,

Charlotte said the tears came to her eyes
often as he confided the simple Uttle story
to her and told of. the sacrifices he had
made in order to retain his high principles.
Honesty does not require us to hang our
oil painting face te the wall In order that
our friends may see th'at they are made

Deep seated political discontent Is re
aponsfble for the premonitory rumbllnirs
of political revolution In Germany. The
people re angry with their government,
and there is more political notation In
Germany now than at any time since the
formation of trie empire. As Is usually the
caso, this unrest wa caused primarily by
the action of the government in adding to
the burden of taxation; and It ha taken
the usual form of an solution for giving
the peoplo greater power in . the govern
ment Involved In the complexities of th Ger
man constitution, and obscured by the mul
tiplicity of political party organlxntlons, it
is difficult to describe the exact nature of
the pending political battle." However, the
chief aim of all tho progressive elements
In imperial politics is to change the work
ing constitution so that the government
will be responsible to the parliament
elected by the people. In Prussia, tho
dominating state of the federation, the
progressive parties demand a revision of
the electoral system upon a basis of uni
versal, or at least, of equal suffrage. Im
perial politic and Prussian-politics are so
complexly Intermingled that It is difficult
to separate the Issue, of ministerial re
sponsibility from the problems of Prussian
suffrage reform.
It Is a theory of the German constitu
tion that th Imperial government shall
not be a government of party. It ha been
held by the orthodox German statesmen
that It Is subversive of th best Interests
of the state and the nation o permit the
division of the people Into two rival camps,
constantly at war with each other. In ac
cordance with thi theory the constitution,
although granting a Parliament elected by
universal suffrage, did not make the mini
ster of the government responsible to that'
Parliament. In all oyier considerable
European governments, whether constitu
tional monarchies or republic, th affair
of government are administered by a cab
inet of minister directly responsible to
parliamentary authority; minister selected
from and by the parliamentary majority.
The British government Is the best ex
ample of this system; and the British Par
liament combines In Itself the highest leg
islative, executive and Judicial functions.
Under the British constitution the exis
tence of two principal political parties
haa been held to be necessary.
The framera of th American constitution
ought to separate the three chief function
of government, and to that end entrusted
all administrative duties to the .president
and hi cabinet, wholly irresponsible to
congress. The United State government
was not to be a government by parties.
This was one of the most particular de
sire of Washington, and he sought to
avoid the division of the people into two
political camps by inviting into hi first
cabinet the two chief leaders of, the two
opposing schools of political thought. But
the Americans were Englishmen in all but
allegiance to the crown, and the parties
of Hamilton and Jefferson would have been
formed If neither of those men had been
in Washington' cabinet; and after more
than a century the same two parties, after
a more cr lens checkered career, continue
to exist.
But, on account of - limitations of the
constitution, the American government Is
not a government of parties. If It had been,
last winter when the Cannon organization
was voted down in the house Mr. Taft and
all of his cabinet would have resigned
Immediately. Of course, the president pai'i
no attention to the defeat of the admin
istrative party in the house of representa
tives, and if the election In November
should discover the fact that the adverse
congressional . majority ha the support of
a majority of the electors, still the admin
istration will not resign. In thi respect
the German institution of an Irresponsible
ministry, now the target 'for the bolts of
every political agitator In the empire,
is exactly a similar institution to that
of- the American republic.
. The difference between Germany and the
United States Is not in the relation of the
legislative and executive functions, bu in
th constitution of the executive. In Ger
many the executive head of th government
I appointed by and responsible to the
emperor, who holds his office by virtue of
hi royal birth, and who 1 not at any
time or In any way responsible to the
publlo will, whether expressed directly In
a general election, as In th United States,
or Indirectly, by a parliamentary vote, as
In Great Britain. The utter lack of popu
lar control over the executive la responsi
ble for the German agitation for parlia
mentary domination in all affairs of the
government.
Although the German Imperial chancellor

In th Reichstag, yet he cannot' succeed In

"Ther 1 no virtu in driving your motor
car successfully on a road when there is
nothing In sight" I heard a father say to
his daughter recently, and the philosophy
of the remark sunk Into my mind. What
he meant was that there la no merit In
doing anything when there are no obstacles
to be avoided. This Is true'. It Is only
when we have accomplished something by
foresight. Judgment or self-control that we
are entitled to credit
A comment of a woman during the ex
cessively hot weather brought the first to
my memory again.
"I practice self-control, or try to, in
summer more than In winter," she declared.
"Hot weather gets on my nerves fright
fully, and my Inclination Is to be snappy.
I gave way to it and wa disagreeable until
I realized that I affected every one about
me In the same way. From chamber to
kitchen all were disagreeable. I saw the
original fsult was mine and. as I got no
satisfaction out of being snappy, I have
made a point of controlling my temper,
and we are a much more pleasant house
hold. It s not essy, but I do It, and that
Is the main thing."
That woman had learned one of the big
lessons of life. She haa driven her motor
car with a big obstacle In the road, to re
vert to the remark of the parent. If every
one gave way to enpplnes when they felt
like It there would be many a collision on
the road of life. The woman who controls
her temper steers around an obstacle,
achieving a successful course. It Is by no
means neoessary that any one shall know
she has done this. The fact that ahe haa
supplies Its own Inner glow of happtnesa
While an encouraging pat on the back is
pleasant, it is not essential.
The simplest alad caa gst along easily
carrying forward his duties unless he ha
a majority willing to pass hi budget and
to vote him supplies. True, Bismarck ruled
Prussia for four year without a budget,
but both Bismarck and the days of the
"conflict time" are dead. Thus It I nece
sary for the chancellor to ceurt a majority
when he can, and to defy It when he must.
Th general elections of 1907 resulted la
a heavy majority against th policies of
the government Although th election
had been ordered by the emperor for the
express purpose of obtaining th popular
sense, there wa no disposition to submit
to the electoral veto. Chancellor Vo
Buelow, by a serlee of dexterous eompro
rmes and generous promise, built up for
himself a majority composed of an Incon
gruous coalition of the. conservatives, th
national liberals and the radicals. Thi
threw Into opposition the socialists,' th
centrists, or Roman Cathollo oierlcale; the
Poles and other, minor political division.
The partlea comprising th "bloo" had
clear majority of the seats in the Reich,
stag, although they polled In the aggre
gate more than 1.000,000 fewer votes than
the combined parties in opposition.
The alliance of the conservative and th
radicals In support of th government wa
a ludicrous as was the union of th
clerical center and the socialists In opposi
tion. This artificial and Incongruous coali
tion was maintained, however, with con
siderable success, until late in 1008, when
the government submitted to the Rclchstsg1
a bill providing for an increase In taxation
estimated to yield an additional annual
revenue of 1115,000,000. When the essential
subjeot of taxation came up for considera
tion it wa Impossible to hold together the
diverse Interests of the bloc. The new
taxes a proposed fell heavily on the land
lords, and th Prussian agrarians, forming
the tory cor of the conservative party, de
serted th ! government . After several
month spvn Jn wrangling, the national
liberal, the radical and the socialists
withdrew from the committee, the chairman
resigning, and all refusing to take any
further part In the proceeding.
Thi threw together the conservative and
the clericals, who proceeded to form a
budget on entirely new lines. Needles to
say the landlords had their way and step
by step the government yielded before the
conservative-clerical majority and the new
budget wa passed. During th pendancy
of th debate Chancellor Von Buelow of
fered his resignation to the emperor, but it
wa refused. The emperor waa determined
not to give his assent to any proceeding;
which gave color to the pretension of th
Reichstag to control the personnel of th
Imperial ministry.
Immediately after the finance bill wa
passed the Reichstag session was closed
and Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg was ap
pointed Imperial chancellor to succeed Von
Buelow. The Reinhetag met again last
November and was organised by the con
servatives and clericals, the national lib
erals and radicals declining to vote In th
organization. Not daring to repeat the ex
periment of the bloc, and net possessing
an actual majority In cordial sympathy
with th government, the new chancellor
decided upon a program which at one
absolutely denied the principle of minis
terial responsibility, and refused to recog
nize political parties as factors in govern
ment He said that th government would stand
aloof from parties nd groups of parties;
that the government of Germany waa not
a government by party; that govermental
measures would be submitted to the Reich
stag, but that he was not disposed to defln
the constellation of parties which would
support those measures. He said that th
political crista over the taxation bill had
made no change In German, institution
II declared that radicalism strove to divide
Germany into two political camp, but th
existence of such a dualism was only a
fiction devised for political party purpose.
The attitude of the Reichstag toward
the government wa manifested a few
months later when a resolution wa adopted
asserting th principles of ministerial re
sponsibility, ' and making the chancellor
responsible for all of his official acts, and
also for all the act and document mad
by the Emperor. At the same time th
popular agitation over the Prussian suf
frage legislation was so great a to over
shadow the ministerial Issue. It Is not be
lieved that the present chancellor has either
the ability or the courage necessary to
make a success of his radical experiment
In governing the empire without regard
to the will or the action of It legislative
department It Is certain, however, that
he has succeeded In precipitating the poli
tical agitation of the ministerial question,
and that that agitation will continue un
til the problem Is solved.
