Kaiser Wilhelm and the Potato.

It is said that Kaiser Wilhelm has
been severely criticised for his ana
bility toward mere business men
without titles" This is due to his
enthusiasm on the subject OF potato
alcohol The old aristocraey does not
like to see him take so much notice
of the captains OF industry as he
seems inclined to. and is afraid that
the next thing viii be the recognition
of this class Of newcomers at Court,
whics would be, of course, intoIerabIe-
This is a development which the
Kaiser had every reason to expect.
Whether he did expect it or not can
not be known. for that is question
which depends on his ability to judge
human nature and predict the re-
suItant of conflicting forces. But there
is one historical parallel which may
be drawn in this connection which is
very significant.
A recent Life Of Napoleon makes
clear the fact that in spite Of his ap-
parent despotic temperament Ma
poIeon was one of the most demo
cratic men who ever lived. This cir
cumstance explains ;he alteration
which he received from his soldiers.
When he formed his aristocracy he
announced frankly that it would be

cept this ideal. unless he does some
thing ungentlemanIy and if he does
that. he is degraded even if he has
wealth and position and power, and
the victim of his injustice is insig-
nificant.
The difference between these two
ideals has caused all kinds OF discus
sion in the past, and probably win in
the future. The uphoIders of the tra-
ditionaI kind, which has come down
from the days of our savage ances-
tors and bears many Of their ear
marks, accuse their opponents of
wanting to reduce everybody and
everything TO a dead level, and make

that some bootbIacks are better than
some miIIionaires, which is rather an
extreme statement; but exaggeration
is apt TO provoke eSaggeration-
Those who really want to get at the
truth of the matter will do well to
take no notice of the extremists on
either side, but sit down and look at
the matter fairly and try to olsen
tangle their personal feelings from
the real question at issue. When the
