THE AVERAGE MAN. There is no doubt that a benevolent despotism, if a benevolent despot like I Marcus Aurclius din be found, is the cheapest and most efficient form of government. Democracy, or the rule of the average , is indifferent and tolerant of abuses till they bemme unbearable and then after a short period of vigorous reform the average man forgets all about the corruption that aroused his indignation and goer about his private business. The intelligent despdt has his J eye on public administration all the time. He brings the military and the jiolicv to a state of mechanical perfection He manages the nation as an intelligent business man does his affairs - with a single eye to material success. But the despot is under some great | di-uuHiintagvS. In the first place he is mortal. »nd re n»t- rally seeks to leave 1 liis power and his property to his son, | who may turn out a Nero or a Caligula, ^ | and inflict irreparable injury on his subjects. The average man is immortal; . 1 is recuperated from generation to ! generation. [ If anything, he learns something by I experience and embodies his experience ; in statutes, so that the average man of | today is rather better fitted to run a country than he was a century ago, See- ' ondly. unchecked power, whether from wealth, birth or achieved eminence, has ' s deteriorating effect on character. It 1 is astonishing how many despots have ; become insane, some violently so, others ! afflicted with soma of the milder forms • [ of dementia, popularly known as "big . head."' Some have grown so irascible as ■ to he dangerous, others have engaged in ! vast chimerical projects. Now. the average man may be indif- , fervnt or forgetful, he may dismiss a I congressman for cause and elect him ! again after a year or so, but he is never J insane; it is impossible to think of an i entire people going crazy. Here is I where the rule of the average man is 1 preferable to that of the most enlightened despot. It is steadier. The flares , of excitement are shorter and very dif- ■ ferent from insanity, for they proceed ' from generous emotion. The average ' man jumped into the Spanish war with- ■ out careful examination, but he ga » '' s Cuba independence and is trying to do k Iris duty in the Philippines. I On the whole, the rule of the average , man is far preferable to that of the [ HOW" CITIES ARE MADE. A station is a point on Miy railroad where there is.a cinder platform on one side of the track and an elevator on 'the I other. .The inhabitant of station opcrates the platform twice a day and the elevator three months in the year. The remainder of his time is spent in an • effort to make a living for his family. . It requires only two generations and f continued good crops to attract a gen- ; cral store, newspaper and a cemetery. ' The opera house, church, school and pol- ! itioian follow in their order, after which ■ th<- station has only to await the next census enumeration to get on the map ti lower ease letters and be referred to , in the marginal index as a village. The - tillage stage in municipal life is that . era in which the post office hgx numbers do not run higher than 275, and . while the residents |«iint out a tcle- ■ phone pole w ith more than one cross- . arm as evidence of their right to reeog- ' nition in the coramcrrial world. Anoth- , Vr twenty years, void of cyclones and i conflagrations, generally develop such ' a feeling of unrest that something more 1 than matrimonial ties is needed to hold I the population together and keep the i municipal metamorphosis lu-aded in the 1 right direction. The village board then' ' meets and orders a city charter and the ' destiny of City is placed in the hands of ' its first mayor. This dignitary either I starts a "reform" of some kind and kills * the town forever, or lie inaugurates an [ annual cliautauipia. encourages clean s sports, harmless amusements and even perhaps permits Sunday baseball, all to ' keep the young fellows interested in their new city and then he sits back ) and sees the tow# grow faster than a - politician's appetite for powe*.
