Martin Chuzzlewit."

At Cairo the President referred to Mar
tin Chuzzlewit,' and advised everybody to
read, or reread, the story. 1t was good ad-
vice, for there may be found in the book
both amusement and instruction for every
American with a sense of humor and a
good digestion. AS people we are grown
ups now, and should be able to go over our
earlier days with the greatest Dnglish car
icaturist of the nipeteenth century without
any uncomfortable feelings.
Mr.. Dickens taught by broad lines and
high colors. He was a master of exaggera-
ton. He achieved all of his effects-and
they were numerous and valuable-by that
means. His philosophy was of the same
school of that of the old Mississippi river
Steamboat mate. who when expostulated
With for his torrent of profanity and his
liberal use of the snakewhip in managing
the roustabouts replied If you talk to
EN- and treat EN- in reason, they won't
mind" Mr.. Dickens applied the lash of
ridicule in the same spirit, and obtained
great results.
American readers should remember. too,
that If We caught it, In "Chuzzlewit," the
English did also. The author did not spare
his own countrymen. Our Pograms and
Jefferson Bricks, and Staggerses, and the
rest were no worse than the Pecksniffs. the
Jonas ChuZzlewits, the Montague Tiggs,
and the rest on that side the water The
master was out with his shellalah, feeling
good, and he whacked everything and ey-
erybody that failed to catch his fancy No
body on either side was so bad or SO good
as painted, but the yarn held we'll together
and met with a stirring reception. On this
side we were mad hornets, though as
impatient as anybody else for the authors

on the part of the United States to do Its
best to bring that part of the world out OF
the darkness of its barbarism and savagery
when once the currents of warfare had
carried us there.
Whether our national motives were at
the beginning altruistic or selfish, whether
we took the Philippines FOR strategic. trade
or civiliziug purposes the fact remains that
we took them. and with them We assumed
a responsibility. 1t Is now clear to every
citizen who views large matters In the
broad light of nationa!ism that for us now
to put the dollar test to the Philippine oc-
cupation would be to confess before the
world that went into the far east as
Spectators and that we have repented of a
bad bargain. Such proposition would not
muster a corporals guard IN Its support In
any national election. The candidate who
stood for 1t before the people would be
buried under an avalanche of votes so deep
that he would never more be heard Of save
as a political joke.
During the civil war the cry was now
and then raised in the north that the con-
test must cease because it was costing so
heavily. The dollar-mark patriots camored
for peace because war was hurting their
business. The sell the Philippines" clamor
evidently comes from the same type Of
Americans. and 1t will meet the same In
dignant response from the country

The Allurements of the Presidency.
A dispatch from Richmond, In

A dispatch from Richmond, Ind, the
other day said
Secretary Root, while in Richmond to-
day, stated emphatically that lie has no
presidential aspirations, and that the pres-
dency has no allurements for him.
The bonnet of every public man of ma
tonal reputation and influence is supposed
to harbor a presidential bee" and many
undoubtedly do. No bee is more famous for
buzzing. Where it finds a home there is
ever afterward only unquiet. All may
abandon rest and comfort after giving 1t
hospitality.
But there are many public men who es-
cape-men of eminence and usefu ness to
whom the presidency makes no appeal.
They do not ''disquet themselves in vain
because of that office. Its value they fully
appreciate, but they go their ways without
a thought OF trying for the great glitter
ing prize which is so difficult to win. Some
of them have studied It at close range.
Others have examined it from affair off.
The illustrious American trio, Clay, Web
ster and Calhoun, whose disappointment at
failing to reach the presidency was pro-
found and is historical, lived for years close
to the office. All served N one capacity
or another in Washington. But students of
political history are well agreed that ne ther
would have made good chief executive.
MIR. Clay. Mr.. Prentice said, would have
been swamped by the multitude OF promises
he had made in his efforts TO win. Mr..
Webster was a good orator and lawyer
rather than ad fnin strator, while MIR.
Calhoun, who was Cne-ideaed man, would
probably have brought on war over slavery
years sooner than at last 1t came.
The effect of close observation has been
different on Mr. Root, who is a great law
yer and student. His service here has been
under two Presidents-men of opposite tenn
permanent. Mr.. Mckinley was calm. de-
liberate and conservative, and except for
the war with Spain would probably have en-
joyed his stay in the White House much
as any man ever did or could. He knew
all the ropes, and men of both parties
liked him. Mr.. Roosevelt is enjoying his
stay hugely, although it is all tempest and
strenuosity. The roar that goes on around
him Is music to mis- ears. So that Mr..
Root, who has seen the White House both
in calm and in Storm likes it under neither
condition, and probably is thinking of a
return to the law With feelings of impa-
thence.
The allurements of the presidency are
strong, but are not as generally felt by
public men as supposed. 1t all depends on
the man.

city, who is visiting here. went to Norfolk
yesterday to play on the links of the Nor
folk Downs Club. Richard Hooker Of Nor
folk drove the ball, and fox darted from
the woods skirting the links and started
after it. Hooker waved his hat to Rey-
nard, whereupon the fox snapped up the
ball and disappeared in the woods.
The question most seriously pressing
upon the man who related this alleged oc-
currence is why that fox stole the ball. II
might be averred in his behalf that he
wanted the ball because he thought 1t was
an egg. Or perhaps he was playful fox
and saw chance to contribute to the
amusement Of his offspring. Or again. 1t
might be suggested. possibly Reynard. be-
ing a thoroughly up-to-date fox. recognized
the wisdom of laying in a store of fur-pre-
serving materials and mistook the white
pellet for a moth ball.
In any case, formal report should be
made of this Incident to Washington. care
the Department of Unnatural History, so
that later when there is sufficient leisure
between speeches and expeditions, the CEN
sor may examine 1t with a view to Its
proclamation in proper terms as an un-
mitigated fake.

All, little poem! Like a flower
Safe sheltered in the magazine,
Whose leaves surround thee as a bower,
There by the ruder world unseen
You gladden. the enlightened few
With fancy's flashes meteoric
Or else with Just a thought or two
Well phrased and quantity metaphoric
All. little poem! How you teach
The plodding mind a rhythmic measure
Or bid 1t stoutly toll to reach
Some brilliant philosophic treasure!
Though many vow you cause distress
And public taste does not demand you,
I like you. though must confess

Dollar-Mark Patriotism

The burden Of the sell the Philippines"
cong. which IS rendered with tiresome ,tera-
ton by the New York Herald as the organ
OF the Observation-Disclosures party, Is
that the money cost of their continued pos
session is too heavy to be borne longer by
the American people. The citizens of the

continued drain upon their resources Fig
ures are given to show the cost in millions

Conversation.

The Philadelphia Ledger strikes a note
of warning in the following comments upon
the deplorable trend of the average CONVEX
sation OF moderns:
1T must be confessed that very much
of the conversation casually heard, even
in supposedly cultivated circles. does not
reflect the enlightenment of the age in
which we live Learning was never more
diffused than now. Good literature, the
soil in which ideas brought forth and
material for rational conversation is pro-
duced, was never before so cheap and
abundant. 1t Is the age of discovery and
full of suggestions for the active mind;
yet the talk of the masses, to very great
extent, is on a low plane in form and
quality, and is given over for the most part
to pointless gossip. Perhaps the abundance
of printed matter has encouraged the
habit Of relying upon writer's to do our
thinking for US, and we turn to gossip, in
nocent or otherwise as a relief from too
much application to books and newspapers.
The love of gossip seems to be abiding
It is perfectly true that never before was
there such fund of topics upon which to
draw for interesting talk. Yet the average
conversation Is fiat, stale and Improbable,
1t relates chiefly to the sports of the
period to the fashions of the season, to
cooks, children, business and the most
trif1ing details of existence. With many
people a conversation consists almost
wholly in the repetition of current jokes.
borrowed from the latest vaudeville per-
formers repertoire or repeated from the
newspapers. OF serious talking, with a
purpose either to illuminate another mind
or to carry conviction, there is so little
outside of the realm of the higher intel
lectualty that it would seem at times as
though modern people had lost the power
of thought.
Our public schools might prof1tably I'M
dertake to train the young in the art OF
good talking and of good listening. For
listening is as much a part Of a converse
t!on the talking. Half an hour week
devoted in the classroom to bright chat. on
current questions, not didactic or argu-
mentatlye. but informing and informal.
would possibly produce excellent results
In the course Of few seasons. Some
children are In sore need of training in
this respect and never overcome their
habit of reticence The bashful talker Is at
a serious disadvantage in life and he
might have been saved in youth from many
embarrassments.

The public eye delights.
If there's a stop the crowds beseech
The traveller to make a speech.
He does, and glad he Is to preach
About the peoples rights.
Great cities greet him like a king.
They know that he is sure to bring
A message with the real ring
OF patriotic zeal.
They like to note his eloQuence,
His warmth and earnestness intenseg
That he Is talking common sense
Deep in their hearts they feel.
On, on he moves and wearies not
OF Keeling of orations hot,
Which never fail to strike the spot.
Most wonderful 1t seems
That he day in. day out, can thus
The problems of the hour discuss
Without appearing garrulous
Or wearing out his themes.
