George Stoddard, who wrote ''Ihe Royal Chef which is soon to begin its second season, tells an amusing little story concerning the wit of G certain railroad president. This off. cial was employed by a western line which connected two small towns about twenty miles apart. He drifted into New York one day last summer and hunted up the general passenger agent of the New York Central to ask for pass to Albany.
 The individual last mentioned looked ID the western railway in his guide -The Springfield and PeoriaP' be ex- claimed. Why. my dear sir, I cannot give you pass to Albany Your road is only eighteen miles long,"
 The westerner was in no way feazed.

 He got the pass.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AN ASTUTE POLITICIAN.

Emperor William. in spite of the undeserved reputation which he en- joys for impulsiveness and lack of ballast, is far too astute and saga cious a monarch to stir up trouble without having some very definite ob- ject in view. And the reason why he went out of his way to pick a quarrel with France on the subject of Morocco and to intentionally stir up almost to the boiling point British animosity against Germany new becomes appar- ent through the announcement that the forthcoming budget submitted to the reichstag by his government will contain sufficiently large additions to the existing duties on beer and to- bacco to yield an increase of revenue amounting 10 no less than s40.00,OO0, the whole of which is to be devoted to naval expenditures.
 The measures in question are cer- tain to meet with the fercest kind of opposition on the part or the ultra liberal, the radical and the socialist element in the imperial parliament, and it is on account of this that the kaiser has for the past year been endeavoring by every means in his power to arouse popular sentiment throughout Germany to the urgent necessity If putting the German navy on level with that of the other great powers. The more hostility he could excite on the part of France and of England-in fact, of any foreign na- tion-the more his lieges would be- come impressed with the necessity of building up a big fleet for the protec- ton of Germany's phenomenally

growing maritime trade and her trans pontine dependencies. Indeed, it would be interesting to learn whether secret agents of the German govern ment have not actually instigated and promoted the recent campaign of abuse of Germany in the French and English press, with the object of win ming over patriotic Germans to the necessity of making big pecuniary sacrifices in behalf of the naval de lenses of the empire The late Prince Bismarck frequently used the foreign press in this fashion when fresh votes of money were required for the in crease of the army, and, indeed, main tained both in Paris and London press agencies, with large means at their disposal. whose sole duty it was to influence the local newspapers.
 The new taxes are bound to be un- popular, for they are to be imposed almost exclusively on beer and to- bacco, that is to say, upon the two luxuries nearest to the Teuton heart Indeed. so sensitive are people in Flu rope in the question of tobacco, and especially of beer, that in England administrations have been repeatedly turned out of office for no other req son than that they proposed to tax John Bulls mug of ale

DRUGGISTS AGAINST ouAcxERY.

We commend to wide reading the the National Druggists Association against "doctoring by mail.' This is a vicious and dangerous business and has created more illness and more suffering than has been caused by the natural mishaps and defects that oc- casioned the purchase of the quack remedies and the long range activity of the quack doctors. The represen- tative of the association of retail druggists has asked the cooperation of the wholesalers against what he denounces as a dangerous foe" All over the land. he says. people are sending for proprietary medicines, and many have injurec themselves for life. They take them in accordance with the instructions they receive from ti.e doctors" to whom written information submitted It is to the interest of these doctors" to sell as many bottles of their nostrums as possible, and in the nature of things they can know almost nothing of the patient. The family physician who sees the sufferer, who determines her physical condition and medical need, is the only one who should prescribe for her, and it is strange that country people, who dose themselves with gallons of harmful preparations, mostly charged with cheap whisky, do not appreciate the cheapness of trained and competent service as com pared with the cost. of quackery. A campaign of education might be be gun by the physicians and druggists of the land with advantage, no: merely to themselves, but 10 the many victims of ignorance ant pref udice.

THE EAST
 AND THE WEST.

The Springfield Republican, in com menting on statement made by Con- gressman Tawney, to the effect that it would be a good thing if a party of eastern congressman should visit the west country every year, boasts vaingloriously that Tawney didn't succeed in capturing any eastern rep -esentatiyes for his recent tour. Mir rawney said that if the eastern mem )ers of the national houses should
 isit the west they would become well
 nough acquainted with real condi- tions to be inclined to do some meas ure of justice to western interests.
 But Mir Tawney doesn't know the narrowness, obstinacy and ignorance of eastern members of the class for which the Springfield Republican is spokesman People of MT. Tawney's section and of the central and west ern parts of the nation cannot readily understand the petty prejudices, the bumptiousness and the bigotry that keep the people of the New England states hidebound and ignorant. while the inhabitants of every other section are advancing in breadth of mind and intelligence.
 Would MT. Tawney expect to induce an eastern congressman to visit the west? The eastern congressman doesn't have to come west He knows it all, He can't be taught anything, and ehtertains the most profound pity for the benighted brother of Dakota or Ohio. Indiana or Wisconsin, who finds it necessary to spend several days in a personal study of western conditions. He, forsooth. can afford to stay at home and jeer through such narrow-visioned. conceited organs as the Springfield Republican at those who believe there is any world out side of New England.-Las Vegas Optic.

FRANCE IN
 RELLIGERENT MOOD.

Five Freack cruisers are under or ders to assemble at the island of Mar unique. one of the windward islands lying north of Venezuela This naval expedition Is designed to intimidate the Venezuelan government and com pei the settlement of disputed points that have existed since the narrow escape from war two years ago. France seems determined to bring the issue to a climax and President Castro appears to be in bellicose mood. Unless an adjustment can be effected satisfactory to France the seaports oe Venezuela will be block aded, as announced from Paris.
 An international issue always is delicate when it reaches the point of naval or military preparation for eveatUalities. In case of a French blockade of Venezuelas ports there will be serious interference with large commercial interests In which Amer, jeans are concerned. And that would lead to a situation that might at any moment draw tEe United States into a tangle as a defender of American interests and as a packer of the Mon roe doctrine
 It should be understood, however, that the Monroe doctrine will not be involved by the mere blockading of the ports of Venezuela. Only in case of the landing of French troops. with the object of conquest, will the policy of the Monroe doctrine interpose It properly has nothing to do with the troubles which southern republics get into with foreign powers so long as there is no invasion of territory
 But the attempt o, a formidable foreign power to coerce a weak re public will not be viewed with com. placency by Americans. No matter what the merits of the case may be American sympathy is apt to be on the side of 'the under dog in the fight" That was the case in regard to the Boer war, and the same senti ment was evidenced at the outset oi She R7Issian-Japanese war, when il was generally thought the odds were greatly on the side of the Russians
 The true policy of the United States is to stand firmly for the Monroe doc Urine, but to go no farther The American government has no busi ness to act as Q collector for European bad debts contracted in the southern republics. nor should it play the par of a hen to the whole brood of re public, calling them to scurry unde its wings for protection at every ap pearance of a foreign hawk

The serenity of the stock market

The serenity of the stock market has been considerably disturbed by recent events, and prevalent optimism re- cenved some rather rude shocks from a series of internal developments says Banker Clews. Outside conditions continue quite as promising as at any time during the last six month. The fact, however, that prices have been held unreasonably high and that out side buying could not be induced to come in at the top has materially weakened the cinfidence of those who believe in a further rise The bull side of the market has bean supported by the worldwide activity of business and by the phenomenal prosperity which still prevails in the United States, es- pecially in iron. railroad and mercan- tile circles, supplemented with the out look for good crops. Money also con- tinues easy and no prospects of string ency are in sight. Our foreign trade Is in somewhat better shape, and there is abundant testimony of continued en- terprise and activity in the business world.

 Mrs Carnegie's refusal to contribute to funds in aid of the families of Jap anese soldiers killed in the war is cer- tainly consistent with the well known principles regarding war, which she and her husband cherish. In declin- ing to contribute, Mrs Carnegie, under date of April II, wrote to the solicitor: Il am afraid you have come to the wrong people with your project. Mir Carnegie and I may have strange ideas, but we are so strongly opposed to war, except for the holiest of causes, that we believe that mel ought to be made to see the terrible consequences, and that they cannot plunge lightly into war, and that their widows and children will be cared for after they are gone. Besides, we should not in any case take up one side of the belligerents rather than the other." Still we imagine that the Japanese have the holiest side of the war, if there is any.-New Britain Herald.

Everybody has been reading tn

Everybody has been reading the presidents speeches on his trip through the great state of Texas and
 the southwest. Some of them have been good and some have been indiffer- ent, but nearly all of them have been inconsistent. The only consistent thing he has done or said is that he sticks to the text of war and the war spirit. In nearly every one of his speeches he has apostrophized the war spirit as the only thing in this coun- try worth while. The big stick" has been in evidence ever since he left Washington. He talks one way and writes another. You can figure wheth- CT man is honet or stating his honest opinions or not when he writes one way in the quiet of his library with thought and conviction to sway him. and talks another before an audience, that he is attempting to please. For instance, in Louisville, Ky, in his first speech after he left Washington, the president said. pointing to statute of Jefferson: ''I am glad of the spirit that macs you wish to dedicate statues like this of Jefferson and like the great sta tue of Clay inside that courthouse. There. is one statute that I wish mem bers of the National Congress from Kentucky to see put up by the national government, and that is national statute of Andrew Jackson and the vic tors of the battle of New Orleans"
 Yet Mir Roosevelt has written down in his historical essays that Jefferson was '-the most incapable executive that ever filled the executive chair" and that his influence was .on the whole. distinctly evil" And of Jack sons administration. he says that ..the public service then took its first and greatest step in that downward career of progressive debasement and deter ioratiOn which has only been checked fin our days

Why the "State of Mainep"

A really curious question has been raised by the Boston Herald. Why, 1t asks, does Maine man always speak of his part of the country as ''the state of Maine" instead of calling it simply "Maine," as New Yorker would say New York;" as a Nebraskan would say "Nebraska?"' AS an adequate an- swer to the inquiry it says: Maine was not one of the original states, but ap to 1920 was a part of Massachusetts. It was then known as the district of Maine. In 1920 Maine achieved her in- dependence and became separate state of the union."
