A WORLD OF REPUBLICS.
An exchange commenting on plana
of government, 8bvb:
The little seed of democracy planted
bv the Swiss and Dutch republics, by
the Puritans of England in the 17th
century and by the Americans and the
French, has grown into a mighty tree
whose leaves are for the healing of the
nations. The Russian revolution, tre
mendous as it is and resembling a tid
al wave, yet it is but the decuman
wave of a rising tide which has been
rolling all around the world for almost
a century and a half.
Its main significance to civilization
is that of a political symptom. It
means that rulers everywhere recog
nize that sovereignty resides in the
people and that the people are yet to
rule everywhere in darkest Africa
eventually as truly as in enlightened
America, in hoary Japan no leas than
youthful Australasia. The movement
can no more be held back than the
planets can be turned from their orbits
for both are cosmic processes.
The march of democracy the last
half century has been almost unbroken.
America vindicated government by
the people instead of by a class in 1H n r2
Italy In 1783 set up a government in
which the royal ministry is respon
sible to the national legislature and
the people. In France the rule of the
people has been supreme since 1875
and the republic has triumphed over
every foe. Spain has virtually been a
republic since 187B. Turkey received
a parliament the IMBI year and regain
ed it in 11)08. Brazil became a repub
lic in I8S9, and Cuba and Panama fol
lowed its course not very many years
later. Portugal adopted republicanism
in 11)10. Persia had in 100)1 made a
good start at parliamentary rule, and
the ministers of the shah still remain
responsible to the representatives of
the people. China in 1918 changed
from an empire to a republic, and the
people have proved their mastery of
their government by compelling it to
break with Germany.
The English dominions over sea,
such as Australia, Canada, Newfound
land, New Zealand and South Africa,
excepting the crown colonies and In
dia, are as democratic and free as
America. Even in Japan the emperor
aud premier seldom thwart the people's
legislature.
Outside of Germany and Austria
Hungary absolute monarchy has been
destroyed. The sovereigns of Belgium,
England, Greece, Holland, Italy, Ru
mania, Spain and Sweden are figure
heads on the ship of state. Ancient
Athens struck the keynote for th
march of democracy but modern
America led the way for the 10th and
SiOth centuries. The world grows re
publican. "The United States of the
World" is not an impossible ideal.
One of the hardships and handicaps
connected with the vblunteer system of
obtaining soldiers and sailors for
army and navy is that the volunteer
is called upon for a great and unjust
sacrifice. Too often he finds his old
position filleif by another when he re
turns from serving his country, if he
ever does return, and he and his suffer
distress. There is but one thing for
employers to do in such circumstances
if they would show themselves truly
patriotic. It is to hold the volunteer's
position open for him during his ser
vice, and, aa far as possible, to assist
him also in other ways. No other
course would do so much, while re
cruiting by means of volunteer enlist
ment remains the American system,
to fill the ranks of the navy and the
army. Men will enlist by the thou
sands instead of by the hundred, and
will do so with rejoicing once they
know that they are not to be penalized
industrially after their military or
naval service has ceased.
