Democracy and the Catholic party would
have no votes in the Reichstag if Bismarck
could have had his way. 1t is the most con-
elusive evidence of his greatness that while
the foe of popular government, the German
people admired and supported him.
1t will be said that he lacked the ele-
ments of higher craftsmanship because his
plans and efforts were confined to Germany
and that he considered every movement
with reference to the welfare of that land
and that he lacked the prophetic inspira-
ton of craftsmanship because he did not
astonish the world with new and startling
policies as did Gladstone. 1t is true that
his efforts were confined to the boundaries
of the states which now constitute the Ger
man empire and that he had not the genius
of speculative craftsmanship. AT the same
time 1t is true that out of petty states often
pickering and always jealous, he, more than
all others, created nation and one people
proud of common title. The more philo-
sophical statesmen of the United Kingdom
and Ireland have not yet been able to do
such work for Great Britain. Better for
a people than brilliant theories is a prac-
teal economic system which, In twenty
years has made Germany one of the indus
trial competitors of the world. Such a sys-
tenn, against the then prevalent sentiment
IF Europe, Bismarck established in his
country. 81
1t may be that the Imperialism which Bis
marck has done so much to establish in
the German nationality which he has Gre
ated will not stand-that in time the great
German people will overthrow Imperialism
and upon its ruins establish a really consti-
tutional government. To such an achieve
ment the creation of the German nation
was the first and necessary STEP Popular
government could not nave been acquired
by each of the petty states acting indie
pendently.
We started with the assertion that Bis
marck will take rank as one of the worlds
great statesmen; we conclude with the
opinion that the man who has fused small
and weak states into one of the most pow
erful nations in the world may be regarded
as the leading statesman of Europe of his
period.

BISMARCK.

bismarck will take rank as one of the
worlds greatest statesmen. There have been
more brilliant men and those who have had
a broader vision and who have commanded
more extensive vistas, but in actual accom-
nishment and in the statecraft of his day
Bismarck had no contemporary VINO was
his superior. He was not political philoso-
pher, but a great and purposeful man VINO
embraced a practical idea--the unihcation
When he was employed as the representa-
tive of Prussia in the courts of other ma
TONS this single purpose filled his nina.
For twenty years before the petty states
of the German people were fused into a
nation by the war with France Bismarck,
the power behind and greater than the
throne, directed events in Prussia with the
single purpose of achieving nationality
More than any other man he was respon-
sible for the war with Austria, because he
saw in it's defeat the removal of the most
serious obstacles The equal If not greater
than Prussia Austria's influence was
against the creation of a German empire
made up of the small German states. The
war with France seemed to have been
thrust upon Germany. but the preparation
of that government showed that the great
German leader, after full preparation, had
done his part to invite war in which he
counted victory as certain.
Born an imperialist, Bismarck held to the
divine right of kings. He neither had faith
in nor liking for popular government. He
was so much wiser than the present En-
peror that he did not proclaim his hostility
to popular government. but his powerful
leadership opposed all concessions to the
people and the broadening of representa-
ton in legislative assemblies. The Social

Count Leon Tolstoi who has thought deep

gives his views of the ideal in art in a work
entitled, What Is Art?" AS in all of his

mainly an attack on what the author deems
false and degrading in art and attempt
TO show by contrast what he considers the
true mission of art. His conclusion is: THE

We shall nominate a5full county ticket at

to our own ticket at the fall election. We
took the action of the Democratic county

The statement 'thisAis not a time for
harsh criticism" is always superfuous, as
the time for such criticism never comes.
All criticism should be kindly. In the case
of the iron chancellor" the time for all
criticism except the most kindly is past.
We should view our fellow-men as the cam
era views them, finding the distance at
which and the light in which they look best,
and being content to view them always so.
Were focusing mentally speaking. more
generally practical among us, there would
be fewer unkind things said and done, be-
cause there would be fewer distorted views
of men and things The hedgerow by the
roadside looks beautiful and velvety in the
distance. Approaching too closely we see
dust upon the glossy. leaves. marring the
beauty. The music of the bell is sweet and
perfect at a distance. Yet when we go
closer, that we may drink in the fuller
sound, we hear the creaking and groaning
of the axle in the bell tower and that mars
the music. Bismarck and the American peo-
pie had a habit of getting bad focuses on
each other, and ill-natured things were said
on both sides. Yet those who viewed the
prince from the standpoint whence his
greatest characteristics were visible found
him to be a great man indeed. We cannot
but admire him in the role in which he was
really great, and in no other role should we
study or eriticise any man.

Nature for Natures Sake.

Professor John C. Van Dyke author of
art for Arts Sake has a new work en-
titled Mature for Natures Sake" The
word Mature as used in the title and
body of the book does not comprehend
animal life in any form whatever. 1t relates
only to lights, skies, clouds, waters, lands,
foliage-the elements that reveal form and
color in landscape, the component parts of
the earth-beauty about US. In dealing with
these forms and phases of nature the au-
thor does not treat nature as classic or ro-
mantle, but simply as nature without any
attempt to endow her with fanciful and still
less with human qualities Briefly, 1t might
be said the author treats nature from an
observant appreciative, common sense
point of view The book will interest lovers
and students of nature. New York: Charles
Scribner's Sons
