So little was Napoleon accustomed to
controlling himself that he found
pleasure in being rude to those who
were helpless against him. He lllustrat-
ed it even more signally In his treat
ment OF women, to whom he was haolt'
ually rude, unless he had some reason
for being otherwise 1t gave him
pleasure, even in st. Helena, to remem-
Der how he had disappointed and ex-
asperated Mme. de Steal when she
ished for q compliment by asking him
who was the greatest woman in Europe.
oThe one who has borne the most
healthy children" was his reply, and,
however sound some may consider 1t in
philosophy and morals, it was wholly
unexpected to Nine. de Stael.
Heavens, how red your elbows are!"
he said to another lady. And to the

man who ever told ME SOL"
Love and sensbility" Napoleon pro-
nounced fit only for women. He said
that he himself loved no one, not even
his brother, Joseph, except a little
from force of habit" And l love
Duroc," he added, because he Is stern
and resolute and never shed q tear"
Napoleon was q thorough master OF
his speciality, and few will challenge
the judgment Of those who say be was
the best educated soldier In military
science Of any age. 1t Is not the pur,
pose Of the present inquiry TO inVesti-
gate his life for those qualities which
REINFORCED his thorough knowledge OF
his profession and gave him his super
eminent success in it, but it Is within
the scope Of an article which Is con-
cerned only with the weakness which
brought him failure and misery, to say
that the same egotism, the same gigan'
tic selfishLess, the same utter disregard
of others which enabled him the more
easily to sacrifice the peace and happi-
ness of the world to his own ambition,
reacted on him and in his last year made
him appear the more pitiable, the more
contemplate in his Querulous misery
because OF the exaggeration Of his de-
sire for greatness.
The Devil Milton has made the hero
OF his great Puritan epic, never whimp'
ers in the least as he walks over the
burning marls which represents the
torture inflicted by the reaction Of his
qualities. Those who take of their
hats to such diiabolical pride as that,
cannot call the pride OF Napoleon
diabolical, for he made as great an out
cry as possible when he felt his feet
burning.

Napoleon did not show the vital weak
ness OF his character until after Water
loo and the end Of his disastrous at
tempt 20 restore himself TO the sublime,
after having been reduced to the ridicu-
lOus Dretenss Of being an Emperor when
he had only the Island OF Elba for an
Empire.
As long as he had reasonable hope
for the future, be was able TO make a
reasonable pretense OF dignity, even in
the face OF disaster, which he him
self regarded as ludiCrOus. But when
his hope became forlOrn, he showed
that Tausyrand knew him, for be
showed that be was badly raised" All
his false pretenses Of dignity OF charac-
ter vanished and be stood face TO face
with the weakness and meanness OF his
own selfshness. He had all his life de-
spised weakness, aud in his last days
DO had a sort Of contenptuous pity for
himself
Alfred the Great, one Of the very few
great men who have been we'll raised ,
has made plain the vital weakness Of
/ NapOleOn's character, and the transla-
tiOn from Boethius in which he has
done it has been thus moderated:
Whose his minds mood
hnOweth 70 master,
Glorious MS greatness Is,
His kingdom vaster
Than II as lord OF lands
With all men Obeying,
He held with high hand
Earth's sCepter for swaying.
Though from the Southland,
Where snow falleth never,
To the far NOrthland,
Ice bound forever,
Crowned with gold crown,
As a ruler he reigue:h,
He is a slave still,
And naught be gaineth
IL his own minds mood
Masters and mars him;
II with its welded whips
It sCOurges and scars him.
Napoleon had attempted to grasp the
dominion OF the world, from the Sibe-
Ran coast Of the Arctic ocean TO the
southern border Of Egypt and the
source OF the Nile, but be never made
the slightest attempt at genuine self
control, and so be passed mis- last days
writhiug and crying out under the
scourge Of his own sel6shnesS, feeling
the supreme need OF going into history

Those who wish TO get at the worst
side OF the character OF Napoleon; 10
understand how 10 was possible for any
man TO sacrifice so many hundreds OF
thousands Of his fellows 20 his own eEOt-
ism, will do well to begin their study Of
him with this essay OF Taine, though,
perhaps, a juster appreciation Of the
strength Of the ignobls and the base in
him may be gained by an independent
study OF his character as he showed Il
IN adversely.
In consequences OF the "NapoleonIc
revival" IN France many such works as
the Memoirs Of Chancellor PaSQuier"
(Charles Scribner's Sons, New York;
are now being issued either In new edi-
tious or for the first time, and they
throw so much light on the character
OF Napoleon that 10 will be possible for
this generation to form a juster idea Of
his character than could be- reached by
those who were either his unyielding
p2rtisans or his unrelenting enemies.
The most interesting NapOleonic cpl
sOde OF the second volume OF the Pas
Quisr memoirs is the account OF the ab-
dication preceding the retirement 70
El5a. 10 appears from all authorities
that FOR a time after signing the abdica-
ton on April @, 1914, Napoleon was In a
state OF complete collapse, as he was
after the failure Of the Russian cam
paign.
IL is said that his first serious doubt
OF himself dated from the time he a6an-
dOned his army in Russia and hurried
back to France, saying it was bu5 step
from the sublime 20 the ridiculous and
that the Russian retreat had been ride
ulOuS. Pasquier connects with the Rus
sisn campaign his version OF the story
OF NapOleOn's attempted suicide after
the aOdicstion. 1T was on the night
OF the 18th to the 18th OF April, 1914,

child which goes into rage when 1t
cannot have its own way. 1t was be-

THE PLATFORM.

The committee on resolutions
reported the following, which
was adopted:
We, the Republicans of Idaho,
in State convention assembled,
hereby adopt and declare the fol-
lowing principles
We are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1.
We declare our firm belief in
the doctrine of protection to
American industry, American
labor and laborers and recognize
this as the foundation and car
dinal principles of the Republi-
can party. Free wool, now adj
vocated by the Democratic party,
would substantially destroy Am
erican sheep husbandry, deprive
the farmer of the markets it af-
fords for pasturage, hay and
grain, and require the purchase
of wool from foreign countries
and thereby turn many out of
employment. We demand such
protection for sheep husbandry
as will secure fair prices for
wool and mutton needed for con-
sumption in the United States.
We also denounce especially the
persistent unfriendly legislation
to our lead, fruit, fax and timber
industries.
The Republican party of Idaho
declares itself in favor of uphold
ing and maintaining the law and
Furnishing all violations of it un-
der whatsoever pretense such
violation may be committed, and
we recognize no right as existing
In any man or body of men to
violate or evade its provisions,
directly or Indirectly. We pledge
the party and those whom it shall
elect to public Office to maintain
and defend personal property
rights to the full extent guaran-
teed by the law.
We favor submission of an
equal suffrage amendment to the
constitution, to vote of the
people, by the next legislature.
We approve and fully endorse
all the actions of the Idaho dele
cation in congress in their noble
fight for free silver and the de-
feat OF that monstrosity, the so
called Wilson bill, as well as
their answering fidelity and
earnest labor for the maintenance
OF Republicanism, and their able
and valiant work for the State
of Idaho.
We point with pride and salts
faction to the administration of
the affairs of the State by the
present officials, and hereby ex-
press our fullest satisfaction and
thereof.
