Perhaps the strongest single impress
sion that one brings away from Mr..
Scudder's recent Life of Lowell is, that

tense and burning patriotism. In pri-
vate letter now first printed he wrote,
at time when he was being bounded
for alleged defamation of his country,
II | am not an American. who ever
was?" 1t is a question which every
reader of the full record of his life can
answer in but one way. A prouder,
more passionate lover of his native
land never existed. AS Lowell wrote
to his friend-he scorned to take pub
lie notice of his revilers-"These fei-
lows have no notion what love of
country means 1t is in my very blood

Among the characteristic and indi-

can be said safely that New York need
fear no invidious rivalry from other
well known cities is the Speedway
along the western shore of the Harlem
River and the magnificent boulevard in
Brooklyn from Prospect Park to Coney
Island. London and Paris Berlin and
Vienna, st. Petersburg and Budapest
have parks and drives both spacious
and alluring. But nowhere else are
there so many swift roadsters of the
highest class as within the boroughs
which make up the great New York
of this period; and nowhere else are
there such ample opportunities as here
for the efforts of amateur owners and
drivers who delight to meet their
friends in amicable contests with trot-
ters and pacers.-New York Tribune.

President Roosevelt, since he has

some strong hints of the kind of exec

litical principles so strongly advocated
by him before he became President. He
is, moreover, credited with the asser-
ton that he does not propose to make
appointments for political reasons,
but will strictly observe civil service
reform. 1t is also on record that he
somewhat brusquely edged prominent
politician out of his office who Ven
tured to threaten him with the terrors

blunder, which he might easily have

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Col. Arthur Lynch, who fought on the
Boer side in South Africa, having been
elected to Parliament, says that he will
take his seat, and that the English
government will not dare to take ac-
ton against him. This theory will
strike many persons as strange. For,
however the ColonePs services to the
Beers may have done credit to him as
a man, there is no doubt that he COM
mitted treason. And if Great Britain is
going to disregard treason, the Empire
might as well go out of business. Be-
sides. while the government may wish
to avoid a row, the House of Commons
