THE kAIsER's HALF CENTURY
fFrom the Chicago Tr,hnn.,


The German emperor was so wears
old day before yesterday OF his
fifty years he has spent nearly twen-
ty-one on the throne. 1t did not take
him many of those years to teach the
world that he was worthy of the
throne-a born ruler Of men. 1t is
net SO much the semi-centennial that
Germans everywhere have been cele-
brating as it is the brilliant record
the emperor has made since he
emerged from the obscurity which
enshrouded him while he was crown
prince.
The opinion prevailed among many
that he would be the docile pupil of
Bismarck. 1t was soon apparent that
he could think for himself and did
not have to borrow ideas from any
one. Bismarck, had tried to crush
socialism by coercive legislation. The
emperor, not SO we'll informed as he
is now. thought the socialists could
be conciliated. The first disagree
ment with Bismarck was followed by
Others, and in short time Europe
was amazed and perturbed by his dis
missal.
Europe feared breach of the peace
when it heard the young emperor
calling himself the war lord" 1t
sounded as If he sighed for an oppor-
tunity to draw the sword. His fre.
quent references to divine right OF
kings made many believe he was i'm
bued with the theories of the middle
ages.
1t was soon evident that the emper-
er took keen interest in subjects Of
which the war lords" of past paid
little attention. He devoted himself
Systematically and successfully to
the development of German commerce
and industry. He sought everywhere
fer openings for German trade. Hc
created powerful navy for Germany
and thereby gave the British many
unhappy hours.
The emperor has made mistakes
That is not surprising in view of the
fact that he has tried to do SO much.
He has been guilty of indiscretions
though some of them may have been
calculated ones. His interview last
year in the London Telegraph was
an indiscretion which Germans have
found it hard to forgive. But for II
his birthday would have been eel
ebrated with greater fervor. He has
sometimes occasioned ridicule by his
pretensions to omniscince. His fault.
and foibles do not obscure the fact
that he is man of singular and var
led ability who has for twenty years
labored in defatigably to make Ger
many strong and prosperous-not tt
be despised on land or sea. That was
his conception Of his duty as ruler
by divine right. and he has lived ur
to it.

THE TlLLmAh EPISODE.

There is no issue of fact between
the President and Senator Tlllman
The Senator believed that corpora
tion held about two million acres OF
government lands unlawfully and pro
posed measures to make it give them
up. That was all right and in line
with his public duty. But he employ.
ed an agent to obtain about thou
sand acres of land for himself and
relatives when they should become
available for settlement at the fixed
piice. That was all wrong. Not that
he had no right to do SO. He had as
much right as anybody else. But
his attempt to reap personal advan.
tage through pressing legislation was
manifestly improper. That he was
not conscious of doing what he
should not is evident from the fact
that he made no secret of his inten.
ton. and, as soon as he learned that
his name was being used by schem-
ers. he dropped the project entirely
He committed no crime, and though,
perhaps, as he himself declares, "dis.
ingenious" in his original statement
to the Senate to the effect that he
had not undertaken" to obtain the
land, he seems not to have been in
tentionally SO, claiming to have used
the word in its common legal mean.
ing as synonymous with Contracted =
But the President had his sleuths on
the trail, and on the day when the
House pronounced him prevaricator
he attempted to divert attention by
making their findings public. The
President had no legal right to use
the Secret Service for such a purpose
to begin with, and, secondly, finding
no evidence of crime he had no moral
right to cunningly group indications
of mere impropriety in an official
document to blacken the char.
acer Of political enemy. The
Senate is the judge of the qusS
ifications of its own members, and
as the Times says, "it is no part
OF the Presidents business to inquire
into or pass upon the behavior OF
Senator'S" Apparently it was the
Presidents purpose to show that he
really has pigeonholes full of incrim
inatory evidence against Congressmer
and stands ready to carry out his re
peated threats through the Tribune
to publish it if they don't let up OF
him. More reprehensible conduct OF
the part of a President of the United
States could hardly be imagined. Il
is, as the World declares, goyernmen,
by blackmail, far removed from any
proper conception of public duty, and
wholly fo, ,eign to any measurable
sense of personal honor. If Mr.. Roos
evelt has evidence to convict Con,
sressmen of crimes, he ought to pro
duce it. If he hasn't, he ought tt
shut up. He ouught to shut up, any
way.

HOW LANDS suILr A "FlRt

Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands, the man
who imposed twenty-nine million dol

the minimum sentence of sixty days
in the house of correction. That
however, is not the interesting part
of the story which is involved in sub
sequent proceedings. From the Chi

ing is taken:
The prisoner turned away from the
bench to the deputy marshal waiting
to take him to jail. He turned his

An hour later Judge Landis' thil
figure was breasting the breeze tina
tore down Dearborn street.

on his car.

ATHEISTS CONFIDENCE
Debate Precipitated Over Gov

LONDON, March 29.-By a strict
party vote of So to 135 tonight the
house OF commons refused TO express
lack Of confidence in the governments
naval policy.
1t set forth that .'in the opinion OF
this house the declared policy OF his
najesty's government respecting the
immediate provisions for battleships of
the newest type does not sufficiently
secure the safety of the empire"
The debate was one of the most mo-
mentous in the house for years. Leaders
on both sides spoke. A. ]. Balfour and
Mr.. Lee accused the cabinet OF incom-
potency and demanded that eight
Dreadnoughts be laid down Immediate
ly. Premier Asauith and Sir Edward
Grey. secretary for foreign affairs re-
preached their opponents for making a
party question of so vital a matter.
Secretary Grey's speech was notable
for it's candor. He dwelt on the
political aspects of the British
German rivalry and the hopelessness of
expecting any cessation of the race for
armaments. and he predicted eventual
European bankruptcy II 1t continued.
