him as Flecknoe said Of Burbage:

The Conservation POLICY.

From The Springfield Republican.
Il is. perhaps. relatively unimportant
whether the present commission should
be made permanent. as the President ad-
vises. fer the main thing for the present
IS agitation and the development Of a
public sentiment that viii compel through
out the country the waging of an unceas-

is accidentally in favor OF the cOnServa-

argue IN behalf Of the reckless individu-
alistic methods Of exploitation which in
the past have distinguished the develop

more than a passive acquiesence in the

Romance StiII Among Us.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
It is not true that the age OF romance
and heroism is dead. Nothing could be
more moving OF thrilling than the episode
OF the wreck OF the Republic; nothing
finer than the courage with which the hui
man beings involved met the test The
writer who criticised the bravery OF Sir
Richard Greenville for extreme audacity
In attacking a whole Spanish feet with
his ship and handful Of men was in turn
rebuked by Stevenson. who said justly
that such acts of daring and self-Sacrifce
are among the glOries Of mankind, be-
cause they show what human beings are
capable of and make Us proud and emu
lative. The incident Of the Republic gives
every properly constructed man q warm
er glow around the heart and a higher
faith in his fellow-beings.

Washington historic Ride

Editor TIE Washington Herald:
The recent ride Of the President to
Warrenton, followed BY citations Of rec
ord breaking rides by army officers on the
Western frontier, has pretty well ex-
hausted the subject. However. I wish to
cite ride made by Napoleon Bonaparte
during the Penisular campaign, from
Falladolid 10 Burgos. about one hundred
miles, at fun gallOp. in five and one-haIf
hours. Napoleon also made a record ride
from Paris 20 Geneva on one occasion and
performed many other stunts which II
might pay the student of strenuositv TO
look Up I have seen a few records of
endurance in Death Valley. California.
but In these cases il was not SO much a
question Of getting to a certain point on
time as It was whether one would ever
get there c. S WALTON
