THE ATTITUDE TOWARDLIFE
OF A MUCH-LOVED MAN.

In a review Of a book on Oliver
Wendell Holmes in the London Times
We find these sentences. descriptive of
the attitude Of bis readers toward the
Autocrst:
They know that he loved rowing
and horses ard great trees. that he
was fun Of sentiment FOR hia child
hood. that he liked men 10 be strong
and sanguine, and hOnOred the Wes X
ness Of women. that be lOsthed all
gloom and UnhealthinegE- that charity
and tolerance were the virtues he
loved and II one could combine them
with wit ~ was 20 much 70 the good.
Above all, one must enjoy life and
live 10 the utmost or ones powers.
What a picture Of man that Isl!
What an ideal it embodies for the
emulation Of young men! n explains
the wholesOmencss and sweetness Of
the Autocrat's life, his unquenchable
youthfulness. 1t reminds US somehow.
though there is no direct sequence Of
thought, Of passage in one Of the
letters Lowell wrote in his later life:
Thank God, am as young as ever.
There is an exhaustless fund OF inex-
perience somewhere about me. p For
tunatus purse that keeps me 90. I
have had my share OF bitter experl-
ences like the rest, but they have left
no black drop behind them In mV
blood-pour me faire envisager la vie
en- noir.
To love rowing and horses and great
trees; TO be full of sentiment for ones
childhood; TO be strong and sanguine
and honor the weakness of women;
to loathe gloom and unhealthiness and
love charity anu tolerance; above all, TO
enjoy life and live to the utmost of
ones powers-the man who makes that

municipal government the country over.
He is man of the sort needed to take
hold OF the municipal affairs in New
York city and get them out of the
slough into which they have fallen. It
is quite likely he will be elected. At
any rate, the Republican leaders have
thus far shown no signs of being able
to secure a man of Gaynor's strength
to make the race for the mayOrship
If he is beaten. il will be only berause
his opponents bring out another high
grade man in whom the voters will
have the fullest confidence, and. thus.
the city of New York would have been
done a goo1 service.
The candidacy of Judge Gaynor
means, whether he is elected or not.
that the New York mayorship contest
is not going to be a mere rough and
tumble fight to get into office, but that
it will be conducted on a high plane
and that whoever is chosen Will have
TO give assurances that he is going to
bend his energies to a cleaner and
more economical city government than
the one which now prevails there under
the regime of Tammany. Judge Gaynor
has been for about fifteen years a JUS
tice of the New York State supreme
court, he is known as fair and Impair
tial, and his uprightness is not ques-
TONED. He is progressive and re-
former, and he has done much valuable
fighting in the cause of reform in
Greater New York If Gaynor becomes
the chief executive of the metropolis
or another man of equal strength and
character is elevated to that position.
1T may be expected there will be scme
vigorous overhsuiing of municipal con-
ditions. A GaynOr mayor of New York
would be figure worth while watching
on the part of those who are pro
foundly concerned in the forward
movement of the municipality in the
United States.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE ADDING
TO ENGLISH ALARM.

Now it is Lord Northcliffe, owner OF
the London Times, who has visions OF
war between England and Germany He
believes Germany is preparing for the
conflict and mentions the year 1912 as
the date when some believe the war
viii open. He has given out an inter
view which is not calculated to add to
the English peace of mind in view of
the increasing tendency among the
British to distrust the purposes of Ger
many.
If Lord NorthelifTe is TO be believed,
the German shipyards are not only
busy in construction of rapid cruisers
and great battleships, but Krupp's
works have increased their force to
100000, the population of a good sized
city. War can be averted, says this
distinguished authority, only by COM
plete and thorough preparation on the
side of Great Britain.
Lord Northcliffe is now travelling in
Canada. and his interview is given out
at Winnipeg. The general tone of il
indicates that he is anxious that Cana
dians take adequate steps to help in
the defense Of the empire Just now.
the British government is eager to get
the colonies enlisted in the movement
for strengthening the military and
naval forces available in case of great
conflict, and it is likely that Lord
Northclitfe is speaking out strongly for
that reason. 1t is quite possible he
has depicted the situation in rather
darker colors than he would otherwise
have done had he not been anxious to
help along the movement to get the
colonies to brace up the English army
and navy
AS Lord Northcliffe sees it, the Ger
man navy now holds second place. This
will hardly be admitted by American
naval officers. Here the American navy
Is looked on as second only TO Great

STREAM OF CAPITAL SETS
TOWARD AMERICA.

George J. Gould has returned % this
country from a trip abroad with some
interesting comments On business con
ditions here and in Europe. as he sees
them. Mr.. Gould's uttersnces are an
other straw indicating that the tide IN
this country is now running heavily IN
the direction Of prosperity.
Mr.. Gould does not see signs Of a
great boom ahead, but says there IL
now "a steady, sane. determined up
ward movement OF business that viii
continue until IL reaches its natural
level and then It viii maintain itself" &"
According 20 Mr.. Gould. Europe
looks on the business situation in the
United States, present and prospective,
fsvorably. He says:
American securities are on an up
ward trend in Europe now and there
is over there every sign Of returning
confidence in our stability and pros
pect. European capital is setting in to
ward ms again in a stream Of promising
strength and volume. But this does
not mean a freshet Of IL. II simply
means that capital of the Old World
has not lost confidence in US and now
feels resssurcd."
The striking fact about the situation
az Mr.. Gould sees it is that the country
lis going to move steadily ahead at a
normal level Of high prosperity. He
does not look for a violent boom 20 be
followed by as violent reaction. Not a
few predictions of such a course of
things in the business and industry of
the country can be heard. The observs-
tions of so shrewd financier and bust
ness man as Mr.. Gould are therefore
asubly interesting.

TWO INTERESTING ELEC-
TIONS CLOSE AT HAND.

The whole country is taking n keen
interest in the elections which are close
at hand in two adjoining States. Mary
land and Virginia. In Maryland the
great issue is the disfranchisement
amendment. The question is whether
II viii be adopted. The Democratic
leaders are putting up a vigorous fight
for it, and the Republicans are equally
strenuous in opposing it. If the amend
ment is beaten it will be hailed by the
Republicans as a substantial victory,
and the outcome will be of no little
moment in it's bearings on the ques-
tion of negro suffrage in other States.
In Virginia, where the governorship.
as well as other State offices. is at
stake, the outcome will also be scanned
closely by politicians from outside Of
the State. The question is whether the
efforts of President Taft to break into
the Solid South are going to have any
effect in Virginia. The Republicans are
fighting hard TO win and will send
strong array of speakers into the Old
Dominion. Their leaders profess hope
OF defeating Judge Mann, the Demo
cratic nominee, but they would doubt
less be grstifed if the results showed
they had been able largely to reduce
the Democratic majority.
