Frank I. Cobb, editor of the
New York World, in his essay in
the June Harper’s—is Our Democ
racy Stagnant?—raises more in
teresting questions and makes
more brilliant observations and
generalisations than can perhaps
bo found ia any other currant erit
icism of our democracy.

President WiDon not only decide d
the issue of the World War but

or flexible form of government. i
Mr. Cobb also points out that
what lias happened to all religious
creeds has happened to tho Ame
rican Constitution. We have
made a fetish of the Constitution
without desiring to Jivo Out its'
provisions The more we praise j
the Constitution, the more we'
wince under the thought ofabid- 1
ing by it, “The American people
were never so critical of tbeir
government as they are now; they
wore never before so cynical about
their Government; they rail at the j
politicians, they jeer at Congress,
they blackqoard the President,
but they never stop to inquire I
whether their Government was es-1
tablished to meet the demauds
they are making on it. If they
did. they would be oblidged to ad
mit that ife was not.”
Tho Constitution established
one of the most rigid and inflexi
ble Governments of modern times,
and public opinion is now demand
ing one of the most flexible and
responsive. Our Government is a
Government of checks and, balan
ces, of delegated powers and of
co-ordinate powers. The Execu
tive is a check against the Legis
lative, and the Legislative is a
chock against the Executive; and
tho Judicial may nullify an Act
of Congress passed by both Hous
es and approved by the President.
Our government is adquately
adapted for the purposes for whiah
it was created, tp, escape-an abso
lute men arChy oh the one hand
and to put a cheek, against the
people on the other; Now the
people are tired of being checked;
they want to dp things, . and tho
Government stands in their way;
Nevertheless, their reverence for
tho Constitution increases, and
they vout their displeasure upon
the Government.
Without changing the Constitu
tion, tbe way of flexibility is by
.making tbe President a virtual
Premier. The liistoiy of modem
government seems to have demon
strated beyond doubt that the only
way government can bo flexible
enough to satisfy tbe demands of
modern democracy is through a
responsible leader who either car
ries out fhe prevailing popular
sentiment’ or who resignes aud al
lows somebody else to carry it out.
England has moved from a de fac
to monarchy to a de facto demo
cracy without any essential change
iu the form of institutions.
In the opinion of Mr. 0ol>b, the
Legislative branch of our Govern
ment has bean the worst failuro
of all. and the election of Senators
by popular vote has thus for made
things worse rat lies tliau belter
It has enabled particular selfish
groups too often to select the
Senators. ,
Ag greatly as America has
achieved, her handling of tbe
slavery question was a tragedy.
All other natious freed their
slaves without war and as Mr.
Cobb says, the right kind of
statesmanship in America could
have achieved the same result.
The problem is to preserve the
great elements of our history, and
to make such adaptations to pre
sent needs that we can go forward
without revolution and without]
unnecessary.
