Corrupt Officials
One often hears of the corrupt- ness of Chins, and indubitably there is much reason för believing that all offcials are not beyond reproach, but in considering this question it must be remembered that there is a vast difference be tweenmonarchical and republican forms of government when they are set one against the other for the purpose of ascertaining the facilities for "graft.” In the for- mer case those who are pleased at the head of affairs are frequently, | if not always, wealthy men who are solely desirous of power and who are bound by traditions which ‹. may not be violated with imponity.
In democracies those in power
are generally poor and have their fortunes to make, so that wheresa. in monarchical governments the leaders corrupt the people for their personal ends, under a Re publican form of Government the reverse is the case, In France and Amerion? mány" men have from time to time, been accused of making their fortunes at the When Cholera menaces, the utmost precaution must be expense of the State, but this has taken.

But the general complaint that the methods of the Department; are "slip-ahod and happy-go- lucky" and the declaration that the public demand radical re form" are not such matters as can be airily dismissed, especially when the fact is borne in mind' that the organisation of the De partment has been already con- demoed by: a committee of In- quiry and that Sir Frederick Lugard in a speech in the Council many months previously had re- cognised that some measure of decentralisation was necessary in the Public Works Department.
The Head of the Department," His Excellency said, is over- weighted, but what form that Recentralisation should take in a matter demanding very close ex- mination and inquiry." It was Sir Frederick Lugard's opinion. that the Colony's progress has been at such a rate that it has outgrown its systems. He an. nounced his intention to in- vestigate this subject without delay, collect facts, formulate his own views upon it, and then pro- bably ask several unofficial mem- bers of the Council to assist on B Commission if that should be necessary.
