3 Bicetre Proposal
One person entrusted with the fate of so many
thousands — A single One person — yes — and there lies
the great advantage — Subordinates I should
not be debarred from having
so many as I found
I had occasion for — so many, just so many
neither one more nor fewer I should have.
Agents there must be many in such a business
no one can doubt of it: sh the only question is
how they shall what relation in point of power
they shall have to one another. After the first one
how stand it then with the others? every if subordinate
every additional one that can be if subordinate takes
subordinate every
other agent is a coadjutor: helpmate
co-ordinate
not a help mate but a clog.

republican will not deny would be the best form
of government every where, could there be but sufficient
spurs and checks to it. this that is not the case
in the great national community: but this as any body may see is exactly the
case in the limited and subordinate one.
Hear on this head the late Committee of Mendacity.
The present system is bad not because it
happens to be badly administered, but because being
in so many coordinate hands it is impossible it should be
otherwise:
