that mark the born leader At the same
time he is too keenly alive to his own
interests ever 30 rise to the height of
true craftsmanship.
Had Senor Duque desired to 60 down
in history as the first President of the
republic of Panama there would have
been none to say him nay. In fact,
many think he Is the man intended by
destiny and marked out by the fitness
Of things for that office.
In the natural course of human
events ne may look forward to many
years in which to seek the qualification
of his political ambition. He may be
said to have "cinch" on the presi-
dency at any time he wants to assume
the cares that accompany the honors of
that office. When the newly Launched
ship of state has safely passed the
shoals and breakers that endanger the
beginning of its voyage, and when the
lookout can see nothing but clear skies
and unruffled seas ahead, then be sure
that Senor Duque will emerge from the
background Of Panama politics and be.
come de jure as he is now de facto
ruler of affairs on the isthmus.
Nothing that has been said should he
construed as in any way rejecting
upon the character of Senor Duoue
In fact, morally as we'll as intellectual.
ly he rises head and shoulders above
the average Latin-American politician
That he looks out for Senor Duque first
and foremost is not due to any moral
obliqulty, but to his nationality. He
could not be Spanish did
he place patriotism above self-interest
And, If the truth must be confessed. he
Is probably no worse In this respeci
than good many of the spread-eaglc
patriots of the American school. al
though he is not quite SO skillful In
concealing the fact that he is .out fo,

he gets 1t.

Senior Duque has so long enjoyed. wa,
bestowed on him. not because OF hi,
political influence. which was OF late,
growth, but ON account of his busines,
and social prestige.

LABOR EXTREMISTS

Some expressions credited by the
news reports to Mr.. w. E. McEwen, an
officer of the Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Labor, seem to place him in
the same class with the irate gentle
men down in Indiana and elsewhere
in the East, who are organizing indus
trial associations and other bodies of
employers pledged to resist the claims
of union labor just because it is union
labor Mr.. McEwen, if he be correct
ly quoted, is just as unreasonable in
resenting the claim of capital because
it is capital, and making for labor as
labor claims that are beyond the touch
of common sense.
Mr. McEwen is reported as saying at
is ridiculous to say that capital makes
labor. Just the contrary is true" OF
course the first assertion Is ridiculous.
and SO is the second. The whole un-
fortunate contest between them origi-
mates largely in the assumption by
either party that the other is dispensa-
BILE, and that by the labors of one onlv
society may be well maintained and in
dustry prosper. If there is any lesson
