Iooooooooooooooo Q
THE POLITICIAN.

Samuel Mcchord Crothers 10 his
book. Among Friends We might
leave the word ~poiIticlsr7 70 be used
IN the bad sense II We had another
which We might use 10 good sense
The shifty selfseeking politician
has always been 4 vel known char
acter He stands IN the same relation
to serious politics that the shyster
does to the profession Of Law. Or the
quack IN medicine. Every army has
It's camp followers. every living body
its parasites. But in this case the
lower has not only usurped the name
Of the higher. but has also obseured
its function. The term politician"
has been handed over to the political
quack. and We have no name left b.
which 70 designate the regular prae-
tltioner. II is as II we had only one
name for all who do business on the
great waters. and we're unable to dis
criminate between the merchant and
the pirate.
We make an attempt 20 disguise our
verbal poverty By speaking highly OF
the impeccablc person whom we call
statesman" But this lip-seryice is
hollow. If you were TO ask for list
Of contemporary statesmen. you would
BE- told that your inquiry was prema-
ture. The statesman is an historical
character Her cirtues are associated
with obituaries Moreover. the con
ception Of statesman does not in-
clude that which Is fundamental to the
politician, namely, the ability to get
himself elected
We have borrowed from the Romans
the term candidate" or white-robed
one The Roman citizen announced
his willingness TO serve the republic
In an official position by appearing in
loose white toga. II was white to
symbolic the candor Of his nature.
and worn loose so that he might more
easily display his scars Our political
prudery makes US shrink from the
idea of open candidacy. The demure
statesman OF the popular Imagination
is supposed to act strictly on the prin-
oiple that the Office must seek the
man But we should hardly call one
politician who was not willing to
meet the Office at least half way lie
should say. My dear Office; hear
that you are seeking Man It is a
pleasant coincidence, TOR here | am"
Milton yentured TO use the word
''politicaster" 10 indicate the person
who stands to the real politician IN the
same relation that the poetaster does
to the poet He is one Of the large and
ambitious family OF the Would-Be's.
He initiates what he is incapable Of
understanding. Let us adopt the term
politicaster and then enjoy the ex-
nerlence Of expressing our heartfelt
admiration for the honorable and quick
witted gentlemen who bear without re.
proach the grand old name Of politi-
clan: a name DETAINED by every char
latan, and solled by al llgnoble use
The politlcaster shall be our seape-
goat. We shall hurt at him all the
familiar disparagng epithets, We shall
put upon him all the shame Of our
cities and the disgraces Of our legis-
latures. and send him into the wilder
ness Then we may sit down and con
verse on the most interesting and inn
portant Of human effairs politics
and on the men who choose politics as
life work

Cant All Do II.

One OF the leading singers Of grand

A Year Ahead Of VI. lime.

Luxembourg was not so long ago
the scene OF an incident savoring de-
cidedly OF comic opera. When the
late ruler Of the Grand Duchy was
Duke of Nassau he was officially I'm
formed OF the death of his cousin. the
King OF the Netherlands. and prompt
y journeyed from Vienna to Luxem-
bourg, TO which state he was next in
succession owing to the operation OF
the Sale law A ceremonial entry was
made into the capital. and the new
Grand Duke bad already received per-
sonal congratulations from many Of
his most prominent subjects. when he
heard that King Williams physicians
had been misled by cataleptic trance
and that SO far from being dead, he
was on the road to recovery. So Duke
Adolphus had TO return to Vienna. and
when. year later, the King really
passed away several weeks elapsed be-
fore the new ruler Of Luxembourg as
sumed the reins OF government.

SO. Of course, the coffee mill came
out today, and as my coffee man came,

on telling him all that / found out
about coffee mills. Why don't you get
one and forget it?' he finally asked
So told him that we had two pounds
of coffee-ground-and had to wait
It'll It was used up. Why do you get
so much at once? he asked. And
then I told him that It was the only
way to buy-that mother always got

But at last all that coffee was used
up. so | went downtown and ordered
coffee mill. And, of course. | told
NY coffee man to deliver my coffee
whole.
The mill has a cylinder that holds
one pound. It screws into the wall
and grinds the coffee into a glass that
sits on a tiny shelf underneath. II Is
very unobtrusive and | was excited till
It came. It was two days late and
since we had whole coffee we had be

grinder for coffee? It is as hard to
grind as nails.
Finally the coffee mill came. We
didn't unpack 1t until Ned had passed a
harassing hour trying to find his screw
driver. Then we found that the cyIin-
der had been broken ! almost cried
At once sent an order for another
and call for the broken one. The
boy came for 1t, but didn't bring the
other And every morning Ned would
say: Why don't you get a pound OF
ground coffee and stop this laborer's
job?' would reply that didn't buy
coffee that way, for it wasn't the way
to buy coffee.
Then went downtown to see about
that coffee mill and found they were
all out of Grinders Glory, but ex-

they came. That was two weeks ago
Yesterday Ned came home early

SEES BRIBERY JOKER.
Why a Big Brewer Could Safely
Return From Europe.

San Francisco, Cal, April 3
That Ellis Wainwright, multimil-
lionairc brewer and traction mag
nate, returned to st. Louis only
when practically assured that his
successful prosecution on the
charge of bribery was impossible,
is the belief expressed by Former
Governor Folk today.
Gov. Folk is here on a lecture
tour, He prosecuted the graft
eases in st. Louis, obtaining sev-
eral convictions. He declared
that just a few days before Vain
wright surrendered to the st.
Louis Sheriff Philip Stock. who
confessed that he handled the
fund of $4,000 with which
Wainwright is charged with hay
ing purchased a traction fran
chisc, departed for a two years :
stay in Europe.
Stock s confession was made i'm
1901. when he was secretary Of
the st. Louis Brewers ASSocia-
ton, of which Wainwright was
president. Governor Folk says
his testimony would have been of
vital Importance in prosecuting
Wainwright.
Wainwright'S fortune H. esti-
mated at S20,000,000 or S25. 600.
900. In 1901 he was president of
the st. Louis Brewing Association
and Stock was secretary. Vain
wright also was director and
large stakeholder in the Subur-
ban Railway Company. which was
then engaged in a contest with
the United Railway for suprcm-
acy. Wainwright was charged
with having paid Tl35, 600 for a
franchise.
The case against Wainwright
certainly ought to be prosecuted, .
said Folk. "The $l35,O0 was
raised by the defendant. 1t can Z
be denied and it is question for
the court and jury to determine
whether he knew what he wa,
raising the money for"
