In Ibis be declared the American polit y of Despotism Wi Dennvracy is no oligarchy. A mon archy may become ignoble but an oli garchy may be equully us mischievous in -the opposite direction. An abso lute democracy 1H a republic, but a corrupt democracy ls no more of a legitimate form of government than a degenerate monarchy. The latter is a tyranny, while an oligarchy is des potic In the oppressions of the ma jority upon the minority. Aristotle observes that the oppres sion of the majority ls as cruel as the wickedness of a monarchy. "The ethical character is the same," he says. "Hotli exercise despotism over the bet ter ? lass of citizens. The demagogue and the court fuvorlte are not Infre ?tueully the same identical men, mid always bear a close analogy; and these have the principal powers, ea?:h in their respective forms of govern ment, favorites with thc absolute mon arch and demagogues with a people such ns I have described." Monarchy admits of republican forms being engrafted upon lt more readily than republics assume any helpful features of monarchy, and a monarchy may possess many things to recommend lt, though the whole be undesirable. No form of government should he accepted or reje?'ted or reprobated up on Its abstract principles, alone. Sit uations will arise to make n democracy necessary and sometimes desirable. The reign of Nero was despotic and RAIN AS A FKRTlLIZF.lt.

Tins ls due to more than the mero grate fulness of the vegetation. The rain Hint falls after a long dry spell hus special fertilizing agents. A writer In the London Lancet on the subject of "The Chemistry of Rain " says in part : . "After a drought continuing for five weeks rain fell on Saturday last generally throughout the country, and the opportunity was thus afforded of examining sam ples of rain with the view of as certaining whether tho long arid interval had affected Its compo sition In any way. Clean samples of the water caught on the roof of the Lancet offices about an hour after the shower had be gun were submitted to a partial analysis with Intercntlng reBults." . "A feature ot the analysis was an unusual amount of ammonia in the water. This, of course, had been washed out of the air.

When the agent of that major ity ls a tryrant, is obsessed with his feeling of power, he ls an irresponsi ble handler of power. Webster rails a despot "one who rules regardless' bf laws or constitution," and irresponsi ble power in Luman bunds so naturally leads to cruelty that cruelty bi?s easi ly become associated with the despot. And who in all ages have luen the despots? Huve they been men with minds or men with unimal cravings? Nero Is the one symbolic and what was it Apollonious said to Vespasian? "Nothing destroyed! authority so much us the unequal and untimely in terchange of power pressed too far. and relaxed too much." It is even handed Justice which we want- and which we do not get from the des pot. The puny despot may amuse himself, may cackle and crack the lash of his whip as tile lire of pnsslon crackles around the edifices of honor and trust and love of country in the hearts of the people, but as old Demetrius, the Cynic, said to Nero, "You threaten me with death, lt ls nature wno threatens you."

The suggestion is that the first shower of rain which awaiti a drought bas in Its "-Ugmcnted ferti lizing properties, and it is probable that this delayed fall serves as a spe cific stimulant to vegetation apart from the refreshing qualities of rain OB rain. HU SKS OF THF. AGE. The Roman Catholic church ha-* long been the aggressive missionary church, whatever else may be said for or against it. Among the notable mis sionaries was St. Patrick, who escap ed from captivity among the Druid priests and became a bishop of the Roman church in his later service. St. Patrick laid down a number of canons in hts ministry which have commanded the approval ot those who reverence clean things and right eon duct and noble living. One of the moat effective ot the works of St. Pat rick was lils "Treatise on thc Twelve Abuses of t!ie ARC" as follows: 1. For tho preacher not to pratlce lils own precepts. 2. An old man wit Pout honor. it. A young mau without obedience. ". A rich man without almsgiving. fi. A woman without modesty. fi. A chieftain without valor. 7. A contentious christian. H. A buugbty pauper. !*. A wicked king. 1U. A neglectful bishop. ll. A crowd ol' people without dis cipline. Iii. A people without law.

Now if it wus wrong the day before it was passed, why was it right the day af ter it passed. Lest its Meaning. "You know the declaration of inde pendence, has In one sense, lost its significance. Nobody believed it could be Independent when that document was written. Now, nobody would da to doubt we are independent. But it is another thing to know what to do with you independence. One of the "mOit serious questions for sober-min ded men to address themselves to in these I'nited States ia what are we going to do with the influence and power of this great nation. Are we going to play the old role of using that power for our own aggrandizement and material benefit? "The department of state is con stantly called upon to back up com mercial enterprises and the industrial enterprises of the Coiled States In foreign countries, and it at one time went so far in that direction that all Its diplomacy was designated as 'dol lar diplomacy." It was for support ing every man who wanted to- earn .anything anywhere, ii he were-an Am erican. Now there ia a limit to that, i have been preaching year upon year for the I'nited States to show her wit. skill and enterprise in every country of the world. But there is a limit laid upon use more than any other nation !n the world. We set up this nation and we propose to ?--et it up ir: the rights of man.

We said this independence IR not merely for us-a selfish thing for our own private use-but for everybody to whom we can find the means to ex tend it. Changed Ideals. "Now we cannot, with that oath taker en in our youth, we cannot, with that great Idea set before ise when we were young people and practically only a scant three million people, take upon ourselves, now that we are a hundred million, any conception of du ty than what we entertained at that time. So If American enterprise in foreign countries particularly in thoso foreign countries, which are not strong enough to resist us, takes the shape of imposing upon and ex ploiting the mass of the people in that country it ought to be stopped.
