That day has passed. TTie other great areas which were still un settled and undeveloped when the United States was young have caught up with us and some of them have passed us. Brazil has become a competitor on even terms in the world’s markets for botton. Australia for years has been producing wool more cheap ly than we have been. Argentina produces more beef than we do. Once the United States had a monopoly, almost, on oil. Today there is hardly a spot on the face of the globe which is not produc ing oil in paying quantities. Africa has developed copper mines which have all but ruined many of this country’s largest copper producers. It is certain that we cannot sell goods to other nations unless we buy from them. We cannot sell them what they already have in plenty or can buy elsewhere on better terms. Therefore it would seem to be good policy for this country to direct attention to the things we can produce better than the rest of the world and sell more cheaply. Those are chief ly manufactured goods, of a thousand different kinds. Our road to prosperity lies in developing the industries in which our technicians are supreme, using as much of our own raw materials as we can consume, and buying from others their products which they can .produce more cheaply or better than we do. next-door neighbor, Canada. . , By the Act of Westminster the Washington has never been so British Government relinquished gaily decorated, nor its inhabi- j a u authority over Canada, Aus- tants so enthusiastic, over the tralia.

GODIN Sight Specialist Eyes Examined Spectacles And Eye Glasses Professionally Fitted. •56 Broad Street Augusta. Ga MONARCHY symbol It is a good deal of a joke to call the British Empire a mon archy. The word means govern ment by the rule of a single in dividual, as contrasted with an archy, which means no govern ment at all, and democracy, which means rule by the people. Britain is so far from being a monarchy that the present King has about as much authority or control over the government of the Empire as the lowliest of his subjects. Not really quite as much when you consider that he can not belong to any political party and cannot vote, even for a town councilor, let alone a mem ber of Parliament. He is a symbol, comparable to the American Flag or the Great Seal of the United States. He cannot give advice to his Govern ment, but must take the advice of the Cabinet and sign where he is told on the dotted line. All that is expected of the King of England, and the Dominions, Emperor of India, etc., etc., is that he shall behave like an English gentleman and uphold the dignity of the Empire. He does that ex tremely well. DEMOCRACY people When you stop to think of it, the British Government is a great deal more democratic than our own. All of the power is in the hands of the common people, who elect the House of Commons. The Commons selects the Cabinet, which the King must appoint, from its own membership, and the Cabinet so appointed is called and actually is “the Government.” When Charles I tried to dictate to Parliament the people rose in wrath and cut off his head. En glish kings have been pretty care ful ever since about meddling with Crovernment. Queen Victoria got away with a good deal of interference in pub lic affairs, but the only one of her successors who tried it, Edward nations, send their own ambassa dors to other countries, and make treaties in their own names. The King of England is repre sented in each of the nations of the Commonwealth by a Gover nor-General, who has about as much to say about public affairs as the King does, which is almost nothing. So the pleasant young man and his beautiful wife who called on us lately were merely the King and Queen of Canada. WANT ADV. Count acceleration and hilf-climblng. •. count riding comfort and reliability . . . count economy of gas, oil, tires and upkeep ... Owners say it—sales prove it—"Chevrolet Is the best performer ever built!" They say Chevrolet is “the best performer ever .built” because it out-accelerates, out-climbs, out-performs all other economy cars—bar none! Because it represents the highest standard of smooth, safe, steady riding and day-in-and- day-out dependability. Because it gives all these results at lower cost. But riding beats reading! So drive this fleet, powerful Chevrolet and prove to your self what Chevrolet sales prove to the world, that owners are right when they say it’s “the best performer ever built “ McGRATH MOTOR COMPANY, INC.

That is to elevate him to the Peerage, by making him a Baron, Earl, Vis count, Marquis or Duke. That makes him ineligible to sit in the House of Commons and shunts him into the House of Lords, where he can talk but not vote.
