The motto of every notorious polit-
Seal boss is rule or ruin" He IL in
capable Of genuine patriotism, but the
laws of the country In which he prac-
tees restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to political party
Is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are no laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who, as
members Of a political organization.
find themselves under his leadership.
So long as he Is perm tied TO rule in
his own party the damage he can do
depends largely upon the power OF his
party In public affairs. When he finds
that he can no longer rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
o majority with him In order to rule;
he can ruin sometimes with minor
ity. Thus, however dangerous the po-
ntical boss is to the people, he Is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
rs belonging to him. One OF the mar
wells Of politics in this republic is that
partisanship does not, in self-defense,
overthrow the would-be party bosses

ROYAL MATCHMAKING.
The Remarkable Success In That Line of
Or..n IouIse of Denmark.

Queen Louise of Denmark.
Denmark Is a small country which
does not have a large part In the
worlds affairs, but its court Is an i'm
portant one by reason Of its marriage
alliances and the personal influence OF
the king and queen, says the Youths
Companion. Whenever there Is a court
ball at Copenhagen one Of the liyeliest
dancers is King Christian TX, who is
still young at heart, although close to
his eightieth year.
His wife, Queen Louise, Is his senior
by several months, and has ceased to
dance in the royal quadrilles. She
has been one of the most successful
matchmakers in Europe, and still
takes keen interest In this royal
sport.
For her eldest son, the crown prince,
the queen found a suitable partner
nearly 80 years ago in Princess Louisa,
daughter Of the king of Sweden and
Norway. Her eldest daughter be-
came the princes Of Wales. and
her second daughter the wife Of Alex
ander III, and mother Of the present
car Of Russia. Her second son, after
his election as king Of Greece. mar
ried Russian grand duchess. With
one grandson on the Russian throne
and another the duke Of York, destined
to reign in England, and two other
grandsons heirs to the crowns Of Den
mark and Greece, Queen Louise may
be described as the grandmother OF
four emperors and kings. Two other
marriages this adroit matchmaker has
arranged. Her third son, Prince Wal
demar, married Princess Marie dor
leans, daughter Of the Due de Char
tres, and her third daughter became
the wife of the duke Of Cumberland,
great grandson Of George III OF
England, who might have been king
Of England If Queen Victoria had died
in her girlhood. These were marriages
which brought great fortunes to the
Danish family, for the Orleans princess
was an heiress. and the duke Of Cum
berland was also rich. Queen Louise,
hdNAu6 Oh oil hCA NAAA0ASA
with marked success, has begun to ar
range a new series of alliances for her
grandchildren. Her theory has been
that the reigning house Of a feeble
country like Denmark can be convert
ed into a center OF influence in Eu-
rope by discreet but ambitious mar
riages. She acted upon this principle
when she advised her grandson, the
crown prince of Greece, to marry a
sister of the German emperor. The
queen Is not only a matchmaker, but
also a woman Of great force Of charac-
ter, and a good mind. Her influence
has been felt in the family councils
throughout Europe. The late car
and the present emperor Of Russia have
attached great weight to her advice.
Copenhagen has been the capital where
for two generations the Russian i'm
perial family have been frequent WISH
tors and have thrown on the cares Of
state. In September Queen Louise's
S0th birthday was celebrated by a re-
union of her descendants and relations
in Copenhagen. 1t was a large fam
iiy party from many courts Of Eu-
rope, and she received the congratu-
lations Of nearly all the sovereigns on
the continent.
