sraTUETTE OF ISRAEL zANGwILL AND HIS WIFE.
WHAT IS A pEMAGoGUE?

At Newport the president of the United States indulged himself in that variety of eloquence which Mr. Taft calls his wonderful ability for forci bio expression"
 Here is part of one of his speeches found in the official Associated Press report:
 Before Santiago, in the army there, we always used to say that if every commissioned officer were killed these sergeants would take the army into Santiago.
 l believe in the enlisted men of the American navy with all my heart. l believe that we now have the enlisted men brought to such point that if in battle on a given ship the commissioned officers were to be killed, the enlisted men would be capable of bringing the fight to victorious conclusion, and do- ing it all, fire control and everything.
 If this is true, why Annapolis? Why all the rear -adInirals and captains and all the other highly instructed and com paratiyely well paid oficers7 Why the high standard of admission and educa- tion at Annapolis and the years of hard study there? Why not drop all that and put the navy into the hands of first-class season? From rear-admirals at $500 a month and down to lieuten- ants at S150 all might be dropped in favor of first-class seamen at S24. Con slider the economy. Annapolis, main tained to teach these superfiuous off cers, costs about S2,O00,00 year. Why does not the president propose this econ omy in a special message7
 Y Nearly everybody except the presi- dent knows the difference between na- val and military service. Many pri- vate soldier has risen to the command of armies because in that position no knowledge is needed except such as can be acquired in actual service; whereas, sailors must always be unequal to the handling of ships and fleets because the mathematical and astronomical knowl- edge and other clements of advanced in struction necessary in this service arc not possessed by one sailor in 10000
 Imagine Jackie, barely able to read, perhaps, getting his latitude and longi tude; but such mere detail would nev- CT mitigate the noble rage of the presi- dents enthusiasm for the enlisted men, who at any time can outvote the off cers at least 100 to l.
 What is demagogue? This is the definition of that word in the Century Dictionary: "An unprincipled popular orator or leader; one who endeavors to curry favor with the people, or some particular portion of them, by pander- ing to their prejudices or wishes, or by playing on their ignorance or passions; specifically an unprincipled political agitator, one who seeks to obtain the furtherance of some sinister purpose by pandering to the ignorance or preju- dices of the populace.

The reversal of the decision against the Standard Oil company which car ried Judge Landis's exemplary punitive fine of s2o,24o 900, came as a surprise to the public, though apparently known in advance in Wall street. There is one thing which needs further explanation, however. The shares of the Standard Oil company, which fell as low as 390 in the recent panic, made the high rec ord of $50 the day the decision was ren- dered, closing at 646. Where was the leak.
