FOSTER MAKES A COMPARISON,

In his Diplomatic Memoirs John
". Foster. former secretary OF state
and distinguished diplomat. says:
IT is gratifying to know that ali the
presidents considered in this chapter
were men Of high character and pure
life. and i the presidents Of the United
States from the foundation OF the gov
eminent are contrasted with the Euro
pean monarchs OF the same period in
both intellectual and moral character
the comparison viii be highly favorable
to our country"
To be sure. That's one of the iden-
teal things that we are here for. In a
republic merit takes precedence over
birth. Any irnbeciie who happens 10
be born in line may become the mead
of an European monarchy. Far differ
emit IN a republic, and especially in a
republic like these states. where a
large portion Of the citizens themselves
would fare equally we'll With our presi-
dents in the COMPARISON Mr. oseef
makes. There is, in truth. no grounds
for a comparison Of American presi-
dents with foreign rulers In the one

this score IN July. 177e. Mr.. Fosters

A sweet song Of summer shine and all

Or chill falls cscada notes drafting

Until Secretary Shaw makes a full
statement OF his relation 10 the sugar
trust scandal the public will be likely
to accept the judgment Of Mr.. Wake
man:
l believe myself that Secretary Shaw
saw that titanic struggle would be
necessary to clean up the situation,
and Secretary Shaw was not man
to seek or enjoy fight He loved
peace. and think what held him back
was mostly desire to avoid fight

The part the secretary played is
told in this paragraph of Mr.. Corsa's
story as given to the New York Sun:

when he took the matter to Secretary
Shaw:
He filed with Secretary Shaw fun
and concise statement of all that he
knew to be going on in the sampling
division. together with his experiences
in reporting it to higher authority.
Mr. Shaw was so interested that he de-
cided to come 10 New York to see Mr.
Corsa.
