Paris, Feb. 7.-American women of

ly with their less we'll known sisters.
One of the latest sufferers is Mrs J..

ambassador to Italy, who was former

Mr.. Isidor Strauss.
Mrs. Leishman. naturally visits Par
is very often. For a time she and
her husband had rented house in
the avenue du Bots de Boulogne The
ambassadress bought number of fine
and expensive Flanders point lace cur
tains and shades for her residence. the
cost being $4,000. The dealer deliver
ed the goods eighteen months ago.
The bill not having been paid. and
learning that Mr. Leishman had Civ
en- up his house here had been trans
ferred to Rome, the dealer had the
goods seized under process of law
which makes such action possible
against debtor who does not possess
a domicile in the town in which the
creditor resides. Mrs. Leishman de-
manded cancellation of the seizure
on the ground that. as she had rented
house here, she could not be regard
ed as liable under the terms of the
seizure.
The case has been adjourned in Or
der TO enable the ambassador and
the tradesman to settle the matter
out of court.
Law suits seem to be in favor in the
Leishman family, it may be incident

Insnectinp Tulins.

The world has at last caught a new
glimpse of Theodore Roosevelt. In
the national gardens at Amsterdam
inspecting tulips It catches this strenu-
Gus statesman, this audacious lion
hunter, in a new role. How does that
comport with your benevolent des-
pot" Colonel Watterson? Strange, too
that this scion of Holland ancestry
should find in Amsterdam occasion for
such esthetic pursuit. Holland, one
usually associates with something
robust, sturdy, just as one associates
Theodore Roosevelt Yet even this
scrutiny OF its real interest, is not
disillusioning. or course II is a far
cry from the African jungles to these
quiet flower gardens, but no further
than the stretch of this mans versa
tility
Tulips have history in Europe and
even Asia and they are valuable as
we'll as interesting today. They were
introduced In the sixteenth century in
the low countries of Europe from Con
stantinople by way of Vienna and
Venice and there is legend that an
Antwerp merchant once cooked the
bulbs. thinking they we're onions and
ate them and that from this sprang
the habit OF Persians and some
Asiatics to use them for food. But OF
course, Colonel Roosevelt was far toe
well-informed on tulips to endanger
himself to such an humlliating
blunder. even If he may not be re
garded as a connoisseur on the parent
genus liliaceae. Yet one may imagine
with what delicate accuracy he com
! ments on the detail OF the BINni, sub

mind each little segment, and tamen,
explaining the intricate composition Of
the three-celled ovsry with its sessile
stigma and how 1t ripens into a
leathery capsule with myriads of tiny
seeds.
Nor is it out of reason to suppose
that, whether the tulip ever becomes
the national flower of Holland. this
little incident will have a tremendous
influence on the popularity of this
dubious herb among the Dutchmen. 1t
is not as common there as along the
northern shores of the Mediterranean,
i'm the Levant, Armenia and other
places in the vicinity Of Asia Minor,
where it grows wild, but Hollanders
have been exerting quite an effort
toward it's study and culture and II
the interest ex-President Roosevelt has
shown IN the plant is to have the
American effect, it will simply bull the
tulip market in that country.

Good Old Edward. ,.

The west-end shopkeepers of Lon
don have ever found a friend in their
king, whom they have hailed as
Good Old Edward" on many oc-
casions when he acceded to their re
quests. They are now applauding him
because he has set his foot down on
an election earlier than autumn in
Difference to the business interests.
Trade and industry never go in vain
to the crown in Great Britain and now
when they advise the king that a gen
eral election in June or July would
upset business conditions and begged
him to favor a later campaign they get
what they ask. Edward drops the
hint to Mr. Asquith and Immediately
the die is cast for a late election.
Strangely enough the visit Of
Colonel Roosevelt has entered into the
situation as vital factor, though
Rooseveltism does not threaten to be-
come a dominant issue in the cam
paign as it did on the spur of a
moment in France. Shopkeepers,
however, have told the king that the
visit of the ex-president will probably
increase the American colonization in
London so per cent and have de
cidedly stimulating effect upon bust
ness. For these conditions~to he dis
turbed by the approach of an election
would be fatal. And why should not
the king see the wisdom of waiting
In the meantime the country will have
had more time for sober thought and
action and the voting may profit
thereby.
This activity on Edwards part is a
rather stern rebuke to those reports
of his ill-health. The fact is, as Lon
don specials have it, he has never lost
his hold on events at Westminster
though so long absent from London.

Philadelphia Record.


The railroads are determined to mark up
their freight rates. but some OF them have
sufficient regard for public opinion to pro-
pose to submit the increased schedules to
the Interstate Commerce commission for
its approval in advance. OF course the
ground for the advance is the belief that
shippers are prosperous enough to submit
to 1t; that the present rates are not "all
that the traffic will bear" But during the
depression the railroads generally kept
their rates pretty well up. As soon as
business began TO improve, and before it
really got on its feet, the railroads began
increasing their rates, sometimes directly
and sometimes indirectly by changes of
classification. The pretext on which they
claim a right to increase their charges is
the higher wages they are paying. But the
shippers have also had to pay increased
wages, and the growing net profits of the
railroads do not give much support to the
plea OF necessity made by them.

Congress Still Has Time.

The member OF congress who insists
upon an early adjournment instead of
completion Of pending legislation
will have more to face in the coming
election than the man who puts bust
ness above politics, for that is the
answer to all this talk about not hav-
ing time to finish what has been be
gun. 1t is difficult to Justify the ad-
journment policy even on the basis OF
politics, and that is the last basis
from which it should be considered.
The democrat or insurgent republican
who imagines the country is not
deeply interested in this remaining
legislation, we believe, is deceiving
himself Just as he is deceiying him
self when he thinks he will be able to
explain away any filibustering from
now on.
Unless all signs are wrong the
people are in serious mood They
want action and they expect more from
congress than it has yet accomplished
though, under the administration s in
fluence, it has wrought out a vast
amount of constructive legislation
The Thoughtful, observing man can
scarcely be deceived by what has gone
on and what is still going on at Wash
ington. Democrats and recalcitrant
republicans should remember that
President Taft and his friends have
done no filibustering. They are not
the ones who have obstructed business
and they are not the ones who are
now talking adjournment.
This talk Of the weather being toe
warm for further activity will not
make a real effective campaign argu
ment. With month and half before
summer begins there is ample time
for all that should be done If congress
really wants to do it. Those political
fences at home may be easier to repair
along about the middle of June OF
first of July with faithful service thar
they would be earlier than that with
lIunfaithful service.

Reclamation Returns.

The actual test of the government
participation in the work of reclaim
ing the waste regions of the west has
proven that the experiment is sue
cess. The settlers who took up land
under the government-built bitches
are paying up promptly, great ma
iority of them paying in advance. This
can mean but one thing, and that is
that the government will receive back
the money expended for construction
of dams and bitches to provide water
for irrigating the dry lands. The peo-
Pile who have settled on these lands
are prospecting, and the net result of
the project is the creation of new
homes and new sources of supply for
national citizenship and national
wealth.
AS one of the pioneers in the move
ment for government control of irriga-
ton projects, The Bee takes pardona-
BILE satisfaction in the outcome of the
policy it has advocated for years.

In Nebraska the democrats seem con-

Unbending His Dignity.

If DR.. Eliot is correctly quoted in
advocating suicide as the only al
tentative for the hopelessly enfeebled
man, the world that so long looked up
to his judgment and honored his con-
servatism as the president of Harvard
must feel a pang Of disappointment; if
he is not correctly quoted he should
lose no time in rushing to his own de-
Tense and saving himself from the
contumely that followed DR.. Osler to-
Europe.
Euthanasia will do as hobby for
some men, but not those who have en-
joyed the distinction of DR.. Eliot as
one of the moulders of national
thought and II he is to hold the esteem
he has gained through long years of
strong leadership he will have to
redeem himself from this departure.
Such a philosophy might thrive in a
country where optimism did not
abound as it does in America, but it
will never do we'll here. 1t is alien to
the conception of life in the United
States and could be Indigenous only
In a country where despair instead of
hope was the ruling passion of the
people.
Here the best thought of the day is
devoted to now ways, not of meeting
death, but of combating disease. State
and national governments are engaged
with private enterprise in a warfare
against ailments heretofore regarded
as incurable and are meeting with
astounding success. Men are looking
up, not down. They are following life,
not death They are gaining courage
in combat, not wasting it in submits
sion. Strength, not weakness, is
wanted today. Dantes picture of the
suicide corner of hell still looms be-
fore men with ominous gloom. The
man with the key to health and life
will get a better hearing today than
the one with a somber, sickiy tale of
how easy It is to give up and die.
The world has need of such men as
Dr. Eliot, but 1t needs them for their
virility Of character, their nobility of
learning, their wisdom and their
sanity. Erudition suffers and dignity
is slain when men of his type stoop to
eccentrlcity. We have enough lesser
collegians in that class already.
