origin of ..The Big Stick

The first association of Theodore
Roosevelt with the phrase. the big
STICK" dates from a speech delivered
by him at Chicago in 1902. On that
occasion he said: There is home
ly old adage which runs, Speak soft
ly and carry big stick, and you will
go far
The New York World, in an edito-
rial published Sept. %, 1924, revived
the speech, contrasting it, in parallel
columns, with Roosevelt's pacific speech
to the delegates of the Interparlia-
mentary Peace Union. Sept. "a. 1904.
The first cartoon embodying the
"big stick" idea was published in the
World of Oct II, 1904. 1t represented
Roosevelt mounted on a fiery steed,
throwing a lasso around the flying
Angel of Peace and carrying a cudgeI
bearing the words big stick" upon It,
1t Is interesting to notice the vary
ing changes in cartoons in the charac-
ter of this stick At first it was SIM
ply long, round stick of uniform
thickness. 1t later changed to the
knotted club or biudgeon type, and
now 1t Is often seen with a spear pro-
truding from the large end. This lat

| ly he exhibited, on the war Office
grounds near Chatham, 22-ton car,
40 feet long, 13 feet high and 10 feet
wide. mounted on a single line of four
wheels. without other support than
those wheels.
Two horoscopes were used, weighing
three-quarters of a ton each and max
! ing 5000 revolutions minute IN
vacuum. A gasoline engine furnished
the power. The gyroscope wheels are
3 feet G inches in diameter ana are
placed in a cab at the front or the
car. A speed of only seven miles an
hour was attained on trial.
1t was found that the big car was
even more successful than the model.
It showed no tendency to leave the
track or to tip. Sudden shifting Oh
weights in no way endangered the
equilibrium.
1t is expected that this type OF car,
will do away with the dangerous AND
uncomfortable side thrust which leads
to spreading rails and excessive JOLT
and lar. and limits the safe speed or
the ordinary two-rail train to about
seventy miles an hour.
Moreover, the power of this engine
can be more economically applied. and
it is predicted that safe speed OF LOO
miles an hour can be attained.
The gyroscope employed is on the
same principle as the toy Of that name
and of the ordinary spinning top. IL
lends stability to the supporting car
through the fact that revolving wheel
tends to remain in one place.

CHAPTER XVI.

Irene had always known that Ii must
happen sooner or later. and though
often and often she had schooled her
self to bear the meeting when ii should
come, yet the shock of it tonight
found her entirely unprepared Irene
had never known CAROLS station in
society, and Lady Garland had often
declared with angry energy that he
was an impostor altogether. and that
- probably belonged to no society
whatever But an unerring /. inct
told her that her aunt was wrong
Therefore, when she began to go out
largely into London society. she had
felt convinced that some day or other
they would certainly meet in some
crowded room.
When, as she apparently caught
sight of him tonight, across the backs
of the people before her. she was hor-
rified to find how wildly her heart be-
gan to beat, and how every pulse in
her body tingled and quivered with
mingled joy and misery at the sight of
him.
Then he turned, but did not look
at her, and all at once. oddly enough. il
seemed to her as though his face was
somewhat altered; it was the face she
had seen in the concert room at Monte
Carlo. but she was vaguely conscious
that it was in some way different from
the face of the man who had told her
that he loved her. in the punt under
the moonlight below the weir. Yet she
entertained no doubts as to his iden-
tity She was afraid to look at him.
afraid lest their eyes should meet, and
he should again ignore her existence.
She turned. away quickly.
The dancers kept streaming in
through the windows, from the lighted
ballroom. Some found cosy corners
for themselves. and remained to whis-

sion, some only walked In and out

once more the man whom she took for
Rupert Carroll. He came in with
lady on his arm-it was the same lady
she had seen at Monte Carlo. She had
yellow hair and very dark eyes; her
voice was gay and a little loud, and
there was n false ring of unreality in
its tones. Irene fancied that she look
cd as if she were miserable. When
they came out through the long win
dow she looked about her-apparently
for seat. as she said Immediately:
What a bore. they are all taken!"
Her companion answered Grossly:
Il told you they would be-but moth
ing ever satisfies you,"
"Oh, go away and leave me them"
cried the lady, impatiently. why do
you get me cards for balls if you can't
behave kindly to me when / am there ?"
And she dragged him back hurriediy
into the lighted room. For several
moments Irene was silent. What was
the meaning of this little scene? Who

her battles for her.
And 10. the Swedes allowed them
selves to be outwitted. Just as their
army of the west, which outnumbered
the Norsemen ten to one, arrived at
the frontier and brought up their
heavy field artillery, the White Bear
from the land east of the sun and west
of the moon sent his feathery flakes
and brought confusion and defeat to
the invading forces.
Their fieldpieces were buried, their
men could only founder about in the

began to appear upon the surrounding
mountain crests, to skim down within
range, fire carefully aimed rifles. and
glide away again before resistance
could be attempted by the demoralized
Swedish hosts. Thus the entire war
consisted of much starvation, but only
three battles, in all OF which Norway
was completely victorious. and peace
was made before the year ended.

Ericsson and the Dreadnoughts.

The naval correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, of London, reminds
the world that the great British
Dreadnought, which is credited with
revolutionizing battleship construc-
ton, is direct descendant of that
Monitor of Ericsson's which nearly
half a century ago caused a still
greater change in the navies of the
world. The Monitor, he argues, was
the first "all big guns" ship, as well
as the first with revolving turret.
Downing street" said Ericsson, will
hardly view with Indifference this lat
est Yankee notion" The prophecy
was true. After a little delay the
British admiralty adopted the Amer
lean design. and one of the first three
turret ships which it built. which
were also its first 'all big guns" ships,
was named the Dreadnought. In the
design of that ship may be seen the
germ of the Dreadnought OF to-day
Between the two there have been
many changes and many experiments,

original type, of course, much enlarged

MORAL AND LEGAL HONESTY.
A Distinction Which Some Men Are
Never Able TO Understand.

=
Never Able to Understand.
John d. Rockefeller, says the Wall
Street Journal, is quoted in one Of tina
Sunday papers as having said:
When man has accumulated a
sum of money within the law, that is
pie no longer have any right to share
in the earnings resulting from that
accumulation"
1t is a striking characteristic Of a
man of strict personal morality that
he has never been able to see the diff
ference between legal honesty and
moral honesty. 1t is also to Mr.. Rock
efeller's credit that he defines the
methods whereby the Standard Oil
combination and all which it implies
were created as being legally honest"
They were certainly morally indefen-
sible
Here is the remarkable case of a
man who is good husband and faith
er, benevolent along large lines, per
sonally humane, pious rather than re-
ligious, in many ways most desirable
citizen; who yet cannot see that there
is anything morally wrong in an ac-
tion which the law does not punish.
1t would be impossible moreover, to
make Mr.. Rockefeller see the differ
ence, and that not from any forward
ness or prejudice on his part, but from
kind of moral myopia which binds
him to facts most of us find self-eyi-
dent
1t is. probable that the law does not
directly influence, sanction or control
more than per cent of the actions OF
a mans life. They are apart from thu
law and beyond its reach. The law
cannot make man moral or even
honest, and he may break the rules of
morality and honesty in many ways
without coming within reach of stat
ute
But Mr.. Rockefeller says that the
people have no right to share in the
earnings of legally honest" accumu-
lation 1t will astonish that worthy
gentleman to hear it, but this is fiat
footed anarchy. The accumulation
was made with the sanction and under
the protection Of the people. 1t could
not have been even legally honest"
save that society made it legally pos
sible. So far from owing nothing tc
the people, Mr.. Rockefeller owes ev-
erything. after fair deduction for his
very fine brains and administrative
ability. This is not socialism. 1t is
the practical working law of good NOR
ais in the relation of society to the in
dividual and the reciprocal obligation
of the individual to society.
1t Is curious that the richer a man
gets the more he hates paying taxes.
Mr.. Rockefeller does not want to pay
an income tax. No doubt he would
not be the richest man in America
now if he had not made it his rule
through life to pay out as little of that
kind of money as possible. This is all
his argument really amounts to, but
we are indebted TO it for a curious
piece of self-reyelation. 1t shows us a
sincere desire 10 do we'll, accompanied
by moral conception hardly more
than embryonic.
