HEADS OF THE STATE.
i Tn a brief review of Mr. Edward- Monsle/s 'book "Man and Leviathan."" the following quotation is given: '•The coldest "f all ™"t ! monsters is called the State. Coldly it utters j \U lies, and this lie crawls from its mouth: i '1. the State, am the people.' "' Enough s» ia - I I know people who voted for Mr. Savage j because he is a nice, kind man. I don't kno* ' him personally, so I can't jiulire. hat -I know is that a man at the head of the country J (any country) can't be "a nice, kind man ( to everybody, because, as Mr. C'oates said in ' the depression, when a cri-i- occurs a Minister J has to put his country first a n<l act quick'?' I and someone has to get hurt. He was speaking : of the exchange rate, if I remember riffhtlyj I am thinking of the import 'People all change when they bivnine •'heads 1 —they have to. Things happen no matter what" party a leader belongs to; just force of circumstances. It doc? not do to !'i n one 3 faith too much to anyone; we aie bound to be disappointed if we do. M-S.
