AMERICANE MENTALITY.

DESPOTIO SPIRIT SINCE THE WAR

New York, January 26,-Under the title "Storm Cellar," Mr. Nor man Hapgood, who recently re- tired from the United States Legation at Copenhagen, reviews in an extraordinarily -pessimistic etrain the developments' in America following the war He declares that the United States] illustrates most,dramatically the generalization about history that in war belligerents often exchange their national characteristics.

"England, who is not much injured..mentally by the war, is leading the world in preparing for industrial democracy, as she has so long led the larger nations in political democracy. France is: somewhat less free in mind than before the war, but the change is slight compared with ours. The United States in five years, mainly in three years, has passed into a

Pianos despotic spirit comparable only to

because we .

what Russia and Prussia were before 1914."

Mr. Hapgood describes the United States as a nation with natural resources undiminished, protected by voeans, with cen.

He declares, with reference to the arrest and deportation of the "Reds" and the restrictions placed on free speech that all liberal leaders here are observing. silence in face of the menace to liberty, and ho compares this state of things as he sees it withi the spirit of England, where in panics always there have been men of eminence to rise and defy the frightened animal, and such men have kept the country's spirit great."

IRELAND'S MODEL ELECTION.

GREAT SUCCESS OF THE P.R. TEST.

Irish municipal electors in the urban districts have exercised their franchise for the first time under a system of proportional] presentation, and the results have been extremely interest- ing.

It was thought at one time that the complications of the system would have led to a large number of spoilt papela, owing to the inability of the electors to understand what was required of them, but these fears have been altogether falsified by the results.

To take Dublin as an example. There were about 95,000 electors on the register. Of these 61,534 voted on Thusday. The spoilt papers worked out at 2.2 per

cent,

Results show an almost me- thematical proportion of seats to parties. As anticipated. Sinn! Fein has a majority, although not so largo as was at one time expected.

This is a summary of the. results of the elections to fill the 80 Boats on the Dublin Corporation:-

In a statement Mr. E. A. Austin, secretary of the Propor- tional Representation Society of Ireland, says:~~

"We believe we have been engaged on a work of something more than domestic, or even national, importance. If Ireland, at this moment of extraordinary difficulty and peril, has helped to abow the world the way to a true democracy, we are justified, I think, in entertaining the feeling that the efforts of our society have been amply rewarded.

"The mechanical success of the P. R. machine has exceeded our highest expectations. The work of the electors has been wonder ful. There have been rather less
