'Prof. Washington has in my opin-

should have plead engagements that

MISS LECTION AGAIN BEFORE
THE PUBLIC.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 81. - Word
reaches this city from Oxford that a
yefy sensational scene was enacted In
hat town a few days ago which brings
ok to view the recent trouble be-
tween Ex-senator Sullivan and Miss
Lection, the latter claiming that MIR.
Sullivan promised to marry her and
that when she urged her claims ne
slapped her.
Miss Leeton's effects were recently
attached by an Oxford dry goods mouse
for debt and she was defending her
suit in the justice court, with Ex'Sen'
ator Sullivan as the lawyer for the
, dry goods firm. The question at Is
, sue was whether Miss Leeton's resi-
dence is Oxford or Washington City.
A young mar testified that she hao
told him in Washington that she had
given up her residence in Oxford.
When this testimony was given
Miss Lection rose to her feet and call
ed the young mar a liar. The witness
pulled his pistol and would have trec
had he not been prevented. Miss Lee
ton then left the room and tried tt

but was refused 3.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.


cate for the strenuous fires which were
burning within. Straightway he plunged
into the rough life of the West as a cow
boy and hunter of coyotes, bears and
mountain lions. The excellent training
he got on the plains in the saddle,
astride a broncho the young prince re-
ceived in the gymnasium; but the en-
peror is as fond of the chase. and as
ready his American prototype for a
hunting adventure. Witness his savage
triumph in the slaughter of wild boars
in the Black Forest, or his shifting in the
deer chase across northern fiords
But what are the front lights in the
two men? In the emperor's superiority
of Imagination, he possesses a love of
mystery bordering on superstition, which
our fellow citizen gives no evidence of.
The emperor frequently reinforces the
strength of his dominion With the awe
and reverence of God. 1t is not mon
archical dema goguery; the emperor is
sincere. He is highly religious in his
feelings, if not absolutely so in his acts,
while the American is equally as highly
moral in his feelings, if not absolutely
so in his acts. Egotism flows equally
in intensity in both minds. but in one it
passes out through purple aura of mys-
terry and grandeur; in the other, it is re-
fiected through clear yellow light as of
reverence by a visit to Jerusalem and
Bethlehem; the vice president feeds his
by visit to Mount Vernon or Bunker
Hill.
Germany and America need today, or
think they need, some of the same
things. Both of them have become great
Industrial nations. Germany Is passing
through what America has succeeded N
passing through-the process of union.
William has, since the beginning of his
reign. played theatrical role to consol-
idate his empire-a role that often belied
the solidity, the seriousness and COM
mon sense of the man. He has, on occa-
sion, played Harry Hotspur;i' but. in
this role he has served his purpose bet
ter, perhaps, than he might in other
ways He must be given credit tor
knowing good deal of human nature.
But now Germany needs colonies for
her surplus population, and she needs
cheaper raw materials, and markets for
her goods. America needs new markets
and she must have colonies and naval
stations to secure them. Both countries
need great navies, and these two men
are the highest opponents of the merits
of these two needs. Without man of
the temperament of William at the head
of affairs, Germany would be lacking in
her present ambition. His strenuous inn
pulse has united and crystallized the
ambition of the people, though in his
reichstag are his Herr Richters acting as
q proper breakwater. Roosevelt, more
than any other man. has given definite
course to the impulse of the Spanish
American war. He has met the Charles
Eliot Nortons and Edward Atkinsons as

William has met his Richters and social
lists.
By certain section of the world, these
two men are looked upon as insane and
dangerous yet they are the most natural
of men in their feelings and conduct
AS merely strenuous, pugnaeious char
acters, their history would make tame
reading. They pose more or less IT Is
true-the American far less than the
German; but perhaps the worst indict-
ment brought against them is that they
never stop to think. Many men of ac-
ton, however, do their thinking on the
wing, and that, perhaps, is their greatest
defect.
Finally, they are the two most restless
characters Of their age, the new cen
tury's two most Industrious builders.
They dig holes for new fagpoles. and
have no time, in the course of their work,
to dig graves for new collins. They are
much alike in their tas les and passions;
they are very unlike in the altitude of
their imaginations. The mystery and
awe of God and German common sense
saves the one; the images of Hampden;
Pym, Washington and Lincoln, and the
American love of democracy, hold the
other to his level-Davis Farley ST..

teacher is warned not to know the crown
prince in his studies.
But at the University of Bonn, the
crown princes training diverged in some
of its main characteristics from the
young Americans lines of study at Har-
ward. At Bonn, the Prussian became the
captain of the "Borussia,'' crack COM
pany of fencers, fighters, boxers, and
champions of manly sports in general.
No young fellow ever took more interest
in such sports. He umpired fights as he
umpires the peace of Europe today. On
the other hand, the young American
breathed into his growing frame the
clear ether of Harvard's campus, and,
along with it, some of the mugwump
bipartisan idealism which distinguishes
the teaching of that institution in polit
ical economy. He has since abandoned
the non-partisan view of politics, and
become a party man in the best sense OF
the term; but he has carried forward
some OF his student Impressions into his
work as a civil service reformer, police
commissioner and governor, particularly
the moral element of Harvard's idea. of
citizenship. 1t win be seen later how
this idealism has served as a breakwater
to the frenzy of his hot, strenuous tenn
permanent.
What did the two students read at odd
times. while passing through these for
native years? Their choice of books
reflects the men, their likenesses and
their contrasts, unto this day The young
prince was completely absorbed in Cap
tain Marryat's sea tales, stories of pira-
cy, the bloody cutlass, and men dangling
from yardarms. AT ten years of age,
he had begun to gloat over these mari
time adventures and melodramas; while
the young American was following Coop
er's every step with Leather Stocking
and 1.-THE Pioneer" through the Ameri-
can forests. or 1.-The Pilot" on our lakes
and seas. Williams imagination also
turned to the beauties of Horace. There
is no Horace in Roosevelt's Imagination
In none of his writings or public utter
ances is there much evidence of the gift
of or taste for poetry. The form Of his
expression is destitute of rhythm. The
emperors sentences, even when trans
lated. retain much of their curve and
cadence. But the two minds love his
tory--the history of heroes; the Prussian
finding his chief enjoyment at this time
in the fine Greek examples, while the
American worshipped at the shrine of
the more rugged English and American
prototype. The two historical heroes of
these two men are Frederick the Great
and Cromwell-wide enough apart at
many points, yet, in their military genius,
in their. intensity of action, in their love
of power, even to the degree Of tyranny,
much alike.
THE STRENUOUS LIFE BELONGS TO
BOTH.
