Secretary Morton ha been looking
ilo the matt + of getting even with
Germany for her exclusion OF Ameri-
can beef cattle, and finds chat author
ity is vested in the President to ex-
clude German products entirely in re-
taliafion for discrimination against
American products. The Secretary is
of opinion that the existing law is
ample, and says if Germany will not
take American pork or beef except
with a Government certificate as to its
wholesomeness, why should the Uni
ted States take eatables or beverages
from Germany without req uiring like
wise Government certifcation OF their
purity and wholesomeness!
This sounds too much like the small
boy who has been pelted with stones,
and waits around the cornor until his
adversary appears in order to square
accounts with him The United States
so FIR as Germany is concereed, can
we'll afford to stand on the policy de-
clared by the so-called reciprocity Sec

ton said, in effect, to every nation II

4, We are called a nation Of politicians
1t is very far from being trae but
there are very many politicians among
us, men whose calling IS politics and
who get what they most care for, or
try to, from politics.; and there is a
larger and less obvious class who have
a strong interest in politics because
they find in it a duty that some.of them
like and that some perform all the
more faithfully because they don
like it, Now these classess-and /
have more or less close connection
with both of them-are most abomin-
ably served by the newspapers. They
do not and cannot get at the facts which
they wish or need to know, aaand which
are quite capable of clear and interest
ing statement. The newspapers, as a
rule, treat such readers as If they were
children and would not read anything
but the stories they like, with heroes
and villains to their taste and plot
that will turn out just as they would
like to have it turn out If | wish to
know anything worth knowing of
convention, or of any proceedings IN a
political movement to which l am
friendly or unfriendly, must either
go to persons who have 'Finside' infor-
nation and whom | can trust-and
Athey are not numerous or accessible
