There is first. as ! have said. the
aggressive disposition. People who do

necessarily great. but they are at lea
energetic.
Second. there is the %instigative dis
position. This Is the person who insti-
gates action In others. They are either
too lazy or too fearful to be aggressive
for themselves. They are the takers,
they push others on to action.
Third. there IL the austere type.
These are the cold. dominating men.

LIKES THE
 JAPANESE TREATY

London, February 25-(Special)-P ident Taft's handling of the treaty. be- tween Washington and Tozio is referred to here in terms of almost unanimous praise. Naturally Britons desire to see an improvement of relations between "our powerful American friends and our lmme- diate far east"
 MT. Knox is commended for .his adroit avoidance of the difficulty that alone gave a very serious bearing to these negotiations from the frst.'
 The American Secretary of State is com plimented much upon the dexterity with which he has broken the ranks of the Pacific slope agitators as upon "wha. must have been his convincing argument to the foreign relations committee of the Senate"
 The President Is described as 'having developed of late powers of initiative and compulsion that Mr. Roosevelt in his pa lmy days did not exhibit
 One of the cartoonists depicts Taft as facing the opponents of his plans calmly and smilingly and with the remark, Gentlemen, I don't swing a big stick, but l call your attention to the fact that have a large fist and heavy foot"
 As BrltalnS embarraSSmentS over Japa- nese coolie labor on the western coast of Canada have been considerable and might become grave, the indifference with which the Seattle commercial interests treat the whole controversy is hailed by British traders and merchants as an influence bound to calm the fears of British Co., lumbia.
 On the announcement that the Olympia legislator is considering empowering Japa- nese to own land in Washington state a London evening paper says:
 This is, indeed, true Olympian wisdom and we commend it to the neutral San Franeiscans.'
 By Chamberlain organ In the mid lands, the cynical assertion is made that the agreement will be apt to check for time the flow of British capital to Can ada, but that fin all probability American capital will be happy to supply any want which American diplomacy has created"
 According to prominent trade journal I've must prepare for a commercial sep- aration of western from eastern Canada, with a serious check to the ambitions of Winnipeg and a slow but sure boom for Chicago, Omaha and St. Paul."

stion of a system of machine politics, fby prohibiting the use of the city em- ployes as political henchmen and in- hieting a punishment for the violation of said law. A much needed reform Section 21 of the bill Is to the same purport and in furtherance of the same idea. Section 24 prohibits a candidate to hire or pay or agree to pay" any person to solicit votes at the polls on election day and makes it .unlaw- | ful for any person to accept such hire or to make such contract for pay. This Is an attempt to equalize the chances of a race between a rich man and poor man. and to eliminate corruption at the polls And who would. therefore say nay? But nowhere can il be shown in the bill that a candidate is for bidden to solicit votes or his friends | for him provided same is not done on election day at the polls for hire. No felony is created any where by the bill but violations of the above provisions gre made misdemeanors With the pro- visions of sectoins IS and q in force do not think there need be much fear that three commissioners can place their henchmen In power and so com pletely tie up things as to render this city the scorn of the entire south. ' I will say nothing concerning the pres- ent opinion of the "entire south" as lO blfiulHSHdl 5 Inunlclpal government, but be content with the statement that the fear of prison bars and punitive fine as provided in the said sections will discoura ge any such machine poll tiles.
 The views of our friend as set forth in his interview seem to be beautifully inconsistent when he decries the con- centration of so much power in the hands of the comm isisoners stating that there is no appeal except to God the Ruler of All. and in the same breath condemns the very efficient power of appeal as set forth in the recall as spelling ruin for Birming- ham," There Is another power of ap- peal as provided in. the franchise Ref erendum. which makes it impossible for complacent city council or com placent city council or commission 10 give away to the railroads thousands of dollars worth of the citys streets or to fritter away in perpetuity val uable franchises to street railway cor porations as has been done and at- tempted to be done in Birmin gham by its city council while an indignant people set bound and powerless to do anything but protest.
 And so he waves the bloody shirt of alarm he rises to point the finger of warning, he calls upon the people 10 remedy the bill before It is too late," he has lost his ax and has none to grind. registers his last appeal" But through it all the people sit steady in the boat. They have long since learned that It Is necessary the waters be kept
