No country can stand such a drainage, and prosper.
As time advances and light and knowledge increase, the dead and useless branches are pruned off and the fit and vigorous remain to blossom and bear fruit.
A Delegate has not even the unit of political power--a vote on any measure; he can therefore form no combination to further friendly legislation in the interest of his Territory.
The human judgment is imperfect--and prescience is limited--hence any approach to perfection in the system itself, or in its administrative provisions, is a matter of evolution of slow growth--and of the survival of the fittest.
