HIS SIGNAL .TRIUMPHS
MOST REMARKABLE POLITICIAN
SINCE GAMBETTA.
Misunderstood by Most of His Coun-
trymen and Halted by
Many.

Written for The Evening Star.
- Pierre Marie Waldeck-Rousseau, prime
minister of France, whose administration
has just been indorsedsby five million votes
against three million, is easily the most re-
markable Frenchman since Gambetta, and
has become a world figure of power and
significance
Frenchmen, as a rule, do not understand
him, and good third of them hate him
intensely. Possessing pre-eminently the in
stincts that make for good order and dill
gent housekeeping, he has put the house
hold Of France to rights with a ruthless
ness and thoroughness almost Napoleonic.
Hence his enemies, and hence also his sup
port from the business men and all con-
sentative citizens Of France. A dozen prime
ministers have had the same opportunity,
as the system of centralized administration
exists today just as it was left by the first
Napoleon. Yes the sword of Napoleon is

me, put 1t took a swordsman to use it.

For the past dozen years or so Gen. Bou-
LANCER has represented to the world the
typical Frenchman, picturesque, theatrical
and voluble. Waldeck- Rousseau is none Of
these and so he ruled nearly two years be-
fore his countrymen realized how great
and how strong a man he was. Instead Of
another man a black horse to lead
France to new conquests here was quiet
gentleman in a black coat, who abhorred
conquests and had strong penchant for
discovering talkative army officers. More
than this, he does not look the typical

Mays matches were the chief ones in Eng
land. Their monopoly was apparently as
safe as that Of the Standard Oil Company
and they expected to continue paying diyi-
dends out Of sulphur until the Judgment
day required all Of the raw material for
other purposes They thought the same
when they were told that the American
Diamond Match Company had appeared on
the scene and proposed to compete for the
trade. They soon changed their minds,
however, and this Is what happened. The
English were using old machinery. The
American company had the best and the
newest of patents. They established fac
tories and easily undersold their English
competitors. They got to the front and
kept there The Bryant and May people
sent agents all over the world seeking for
machinery to Withstand the Americans, but
IT was not to be found. The result was that
they threw their hands and were alb
sorbed by the Diamond Match Company,
though their old name was still held.
he Americans haze the machines and the
patents, and their success showed they
were well justified for their big expenses in
perfecting their machinery, which, 1t is
said, often cost them $50 600 year and up
ward. In one year the company paid $3.50
O0O for patents. 1t has always paid divi-
bends to it's stockholders. The words Sup
port home industries" in its advertise
ments only mean that the matches are now
made in England, although the bulk of the
profits go to the Americans. The new
company has introduced American methods
INTO us works and its employees are far
better treated than those of the ordinary
English establishments.
The watch cry Support home industries"
is put on many British articles. I found it
on brand of oatmeal at a coffee house
where / stopped for snack this afternoon,
and with it was the guarantee that the
grain used was the best Scottish oats pro-

But suppose we start out on our walk
Look now at the stores. They call them
shops here, but no matter. Here is one adj

call shoes boots-but there is no style about

cost more to make than ours, and the re-

looking is an advertisement of American
rubbers-in the ordinary shop they call rub
bers gums which makes me think of the
English girl who was asked if her sister
was in, and replied, mo, but she will be
ere right soon. She is bout cleaning her
gums on the mat" Speaking of American
rubbers, there ought to be good market
for them here If we can educate the peo-
