which affairs have in the past been managed in the village com- munities that are free from re- sident officials. The informal patriarchal administration by the village head man with the assis- tance of the village elders hasstood the test of centarieaand has proved: quite adequate to the needs of the rural districts. It is only a slight development of the princi- ple to extend the system to the towns, and here again the ti pao, ur headman of the ward, is an ancient institution embodying the same idea. Of course, if it is held that anything savouring of democratic methods is a danger to the Republic, and the Central Government bas decided that any thing that might serve as a ro minder of the promises of s Constitutional system must be abolished, there is nothing more to be said; but if there is any substratum of reality in the lip- vervice paid to the constitutional ideal, the continuance of some form of municipalself-government -by either an elected or, more probably, a nominated council- should provo both harmless and beneficial.
