1t has long been a standing joke
that the Irish say the great men OF
earth have Celtic blood, and some
German scientists have asserted that
they are of Teutonic stock, but not
much attention has been paid to such
pretensions.
Now, however, DR.. Ludovic Volt
mann has caused a stir in France with
a book written to prove by facts and
photographs that most of the famous
Frenchmen of the last century were
of German origin.
Pictures of Napoleon, Renan,
Gounod, Balzac, Murat and lola are
given to show that they all had Ger
man characteristics. The conclus-
ions reached by the author are backed
by so much evidence that 1t is. diff
cult to confute them.

Next came boar's head on silver

was heralded with a flourish of trum-

with it,
THE third course was peacock In

it was stuffed with specs and sweet

ception of the main points of policy
that it is the business of the present
congress to deal with. The railroads
should have protection as we'll as reg

as we'll as their duties: they should be
made to serve the public faithfully and

RQosevelts railroad policy at the pres

run. to the railroad situation for a
generation to come. Again, as respects
the big, industrial corporations, Mr..
Roosevelt hos shown that the law is
supreme and everybody is now ready
to admit it, But. altho the authority of
law is vindicateA the statute provis-
ions of law have been shown to be
very inadequate, and to some extent
absurd and unjust. My. Roosevelt lays
down a policy for the changing of the
statutes and for the better administra-
ton of the law. In it's main outline
this policy is right and NWise. The
great businesses Of this country are
legitimate in their commercial motives
and in their general lines of conduct.
The large way of doing business has
come to stay. But these enterprises
have to be subject to legal regulation,
and they cannot be properly supervised
by the individual states. The working
out of actual legislation may grove
difficult. but it is not ir1pnSsiH nd

these are not famine prices, because

and the standard of living turnout the

agree in showing the quantity of gold
increasing. the cost of production per
ton of ore diminished radically by new
inventions, and the worlds stock of
gold showing a marked and sudden in
crease, little doubt remains. The facts
are plain A golden deluge Is already

production was $7.000,000. in 1900 $12.-
100000 in 1900 s262,000,000, in 1907

accelerating. When we remember that
the larger amount of each years pro-
duction is added%to all that has been
produced before, unlike all other COM
moditles. that at the present rate of
acceleration the worlds stock can
double in less than twelve years, and
finally, that the causes Of the fold

ingenuity of chemists and metallur-
gists. who have succeeded in reduce

question of gold depreciation becomes
easily the financial problem of the
