When the eagles of imperial Rome were being carried in wars with the empire of Britain to-day. Roman Empire has been dead over a thousand years.

The modern Englishman to-day, like the ancient Roman, boasts | of his flag flying over vast areas of conquered territory and myriads | § of subjugated peoples. ‘The Swiss man has no colony, no depen- dency, no navy, no standing army, no foreign wars, no huge national debt, no big war loans, no staggering annual budgets—and no huge | ‘ poorhouses where one out of every forty of its people is gathered. In short, the citizen of the tiny republic has none of those very big things which the subject of Edward VII. has to make him feel “cheaty.” He cannot say that the sun never sets on his country Posses- sions, nor that the drumbeat of his armies, following the sun, “circles |‘ 1 one continuous and unbroken chain of the martial r can he say that his country is the richest per capita in the world and quote Mulhall to sustain his boast. , there are only 15,469 square miles in the country of Will- iam Tell, and its total wealth is but 3600 per capita, against Great | Britain's $1,500 per capita. heeause Britain’s total wealth averages $1,500 per head every British subject has that sum to It is not actually, alas, distributed Dioccccccoccs ¢ BETTER TO Bh A SWISS THAN ¢ A BRITON, Docvecccccccced his eredit. in that way. In faet, when vou contrast the real status of the citizen of the small republic and that of the “subject” of the large empire you will see that the former is vastly better off than the latter. For Switz- erland is a great little land, an industrious, prosperous, freely and simply governed land, whose people are sccond to none in the civi- lized world in the record of honorable achievements both in defen- sive war and in progressive peace. Their national debt amounts to but $5.10 per head, and the inost of it represents money expended for paying railways and other public utilities. Every Englishman’s share of his mammoth national f debt is $75. This isa 15 to 1 advantage for the Swiss. Edueation is universal in Switzerland.
