ROOSEVELT AND GLADSTONE.

From the mass that has been written
and read of Mr. Roosevelt as ranch
ero, rough rider, athlete and exponent
OF the gospel of strenuosity the general
public conception of the real Roosevelt
has become an erroneous one. II 1t were
possible to create composite picture
of the popular idea of the presidents
character 1t would show strong, SIM
cere and impulsive figure, prodigal OF
tooth and muscle, fighting man and
gentleman. Roosevelt, the soldier. re-
former and executive. has overshad-
owed the statesman, literateur student
and writer of history and adventure.
1t is good sometimes to see our own
as well as ourselves thru the eyes OF
others Consequently an English trav-
eler's view of the president will be in
teresting to Americans. Writing In the
Cornhill Magazine, leading English
publication. Mr.. n. w. Lucy tells of the
American president as he saw him at
close range in conversation with a par
ty OF statesmen.
1.-THE rough rider, in whom foreign
nations have come to recognize n
statesman Of the highest rank, dis
closed the scholar versed alike in an
cient and modern literature" says Mr..
Lucy. TN It's variety, grasp of sub
iect, out of the-way knowledge and its
evidence of marvellous memory, the
table-talk of the president reminds me
more of Mr.. Gladstone's than of any
man / have known"
This will to many be new view OF
the president. The general impression
of Mr.. Roosevelt Is of man of action
and impulse, who does things on the
SPUR of the moment rather than of the
+ cool, thoughtful and collected states
man wide in a wise knowledge of the
principles of craftsmanship. 1t lends
different light to the character or
Roosevelt to hear him compared to
Gladstone, the prince of wise and con-
servative statesmen.

The War and the Crops.

The pending conflict, and conflicts
that may be impending. make all crop
reports of interest, not alone to the
farmer of the fields and of the wheat
pits, but to the consumer. The latest
bulletin of the department of agricul-
ture is not OF a character to bring as
surance Of lower prices. 1t puts the
condition of winter wheat at 76.5, as
contra sted with the percentage of one
year ago when ii was put at 97.6. With
that percentage and with war raging
it will not be altogether due to the
farmers of the wheat pit If prices
should soar The severity of the Win
ter was excessive and it may be the
farmers are inclined to look with the
most pessimistic views on the situa
ton. and therefore, low percentage
would be reported. But it is without
doubt that the percentage, while it may
not so low as 76.5, is undoubtedly
greatly lower than the percentage of
last year, and advantage Will he taken
OF the fact.
The report suggests that the greatly
larger production of wheat in Australia
and in Argentina, over last year, to-
gether with the crop of spring wheat
in the United States may tend to keep
down prices, but the suggestion can
only be half hearted. The crops of
Europe may suffer corresponding fall
in percentage with the crop in the
United States, and in that event and
in the undoubted heavy demand be-
cause OF war conditions little hope can
be entertained that prices will fail.
