Every stu- dent of political science tells us that the ten- dency of the Congressional system of our Gov- ernment is to make the representatives of the people local in their attachments. It is for this reason that statesmen in the broad, national sense are so rarely found in our political life; our system simply does not develop them as does the Parliamentary system under which a political leader is the representative of all the people without regard to their narrow, sec- tional interests. The ..."Pork-barrel, " which seems to play so large a part in our national politics, is the logi- cal result of the narrow representative system on which Congress is based. Some great, coun- teracting influence would seem to be desirable in order to impress upon the people of all sec- tions the fact that the Federal Government is entitled to a common service on their part in re- 83 THE CALL OF THE REPUBLIC turn for the bounty which it yields so liberally. Some great institution is necessary to the life of the Nation which will federalize the spirit of our people, and no institution suggests itself that is so eminently adapted to this purpose as a national army in which Federal service is compulsory.
