The Abs Today

We all remember that when 1t was pointed out to Napoleon that the Alps lay between him and Italy he said: Then there shall he no Alps"
 That was highly dramatic and has been accepted for a century as a striking figure of speech. But if present plans do not miscarry the words of the Little Corporal are soon to be a literal truth. so far as trade and commerce are concerned.
 Already the great Simplon and St Gotthard tunnels have revolutionized the travel of western Europe. But now the European continental lines have schemes still more ambitious. No less than Alpine tunnels are in prospect and one of them has been commenced The longest of these tun- and the shortest will be more than three miles in length. The motive power which will propel cars through the longest one is electricity.
 These are the wonders of modern engineering. They are also the wonders of modern civilization. Pretty soon the Alps will mean no more to European travel and trade than would a sand dune.

Prince Henry of Battenburg was chatting in leisurely fashion with Lord Felright. at the formers home in Berlin. Lord Felright asked His Highness how he managed, to rid hmeslf of importunate visitors whom he could not refuse to see. but who remained indefinitely when once ad- mitted.
 Oh said the prince. that is easy enough. My wife always knows persons of this class, and when she is certain there is bore here and staying too long. she manages to call me away on some plausible preteXt."

Henry Watterson

Democrats of Kentucky. The state of pretty girls. fast horses and mint Juleps. want Henry Watterson. editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, nominated for president
 In all human probability "Marse Henry will not be nominated. He has said more than once that he couldn't be nominated and couldn't be elected if he had the nomination. Furthermore. the democrats are not in the habit of doing anything so sensible
 Of all the democrats who thus far have been mentioned for the place Col. Watterson is far and away the best equipped man. Compare him with Wilson. Foss. Harmon. Folk. Clark. Hearst. Baldwin. Underwood. and he is head and shoulders above the best of them. He has been in timately in touch with public mat ters for forty years; he has a grasp of national problems that is nothing short of marvellous: and his honesty and integrity are so absolute that no one has ever thought to mention them.
 Most of us know but few public men personally so we judge them by their speeches and writings. In the Sc. master. He has both clearness and strength. No democratic presidential possibility can even approach him in platform eloquence.
 A great deal has been said about the eloquence of MT. Bryan; but com pare the best thing Bryan ever wrote or said with WattersOn's eulogy of Lincoln. Bryan is sophomOric and his speeches are filled with general tiles: while that sublime address by the Kentuckian is marvel of thought expressed in language as epigrammatic as any that Bacon ever wrote
 Because of his picturesque editorials some people get the impression that Watterson is cratic and irresponsible. Nothing could be farther from the truth These are simply his mind at play.
 Given a great theme. the proper setting. and Henry Watterson. and you have the clements of speech such as no other man in America can produce That was demonstrated when he delivered the address when the Columbian Exposition buildings were dedicated. And that masterly speech was prepared in week.
 The Republican isn't infatuated with Col. Watterson's politics but it does have a high regard for the man. And aside from being statesman and an orator, he is a great journal ist New York. supposed to be the center of journalistic thought in this country. hasn't a man who can even, approach him.
 But Watterson will not he nom mated He is not available. And. as has been said already. the demo- crats are not likely to do anything so sensible as put the great Kentuckian on the ticket.

Yesterday all Germany celebrated the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick the Great. And strangely enough. in the empire of the kaiser. who poses as the philos- opher monarch. there is little ar no attention paid to the philosophies of Under Fritz" The Germans seem only to recall his military deeds.
 And they are well worth recalling though whether they ever added any thing to the progress or happiness of humanity may well be doubted. The conquest of Silesia and the exploits of the Seven Years War are among the great military events of history;

but after all the principles involved in those conflias were merely the principles of personal greed. And the coalition between Frederick and Catherine the Great of Russia, that resulted in the dismemberment of Po- land. was one of the most shameful acts of European history
 Napoleon Bonaparte paid the high est tribute ever paid the military genius of the Prussian monarch. When he scratched the imperial N on the iron coffin which enclosed the body of Frederick he said: If he were living the French army would never have entered Berlin"
 But though the world does not recognize the fact Frederick was greater as a philosopher than as a soldier. His researches came after his military exploits were largely ended and after he had begun his as- Sociation with Noltaire. If he hadn't been monarch he might have been a friend of humanity. As it was he was a conqueror ruled by the lust for power. The world gained little from his. having lived in it.

Seeing America

The other day the Duke an'
 Duchess of Connaught had the pleas ure of viewing New York from th' top of the 4S-story Metropolitan
 building. Then. when they had de seconded to the ground they wer,
 compelled to fight their way through mob" of 500 persons. each one oi whom Was bent on getting as close as possible to the titled pair.
 Of course. we don't give darn for titles and titled people in this country. We absolutely scorn the whole business. Free America foI us every time As to the 'codfish aristocracy'. We simply loathe it. Royalty and semi-royalty are hiss ing and a reproach Liberty. equal ity and justice are what We demand and we wouldn't walk across the street to see the most aristorcatic titled foreigner that ever wore shoe leather.
 
 That's all mighty fine in theory. But. somehow. it doesn't quite square with our performances.
 For instance. there is the Con naught incident. The Duke of Con- naught is worthy gentleman and quite deserving of the respect of any man. if the newspapers tell the truth about him. and it is currently re- ported in some quarters that the do tell the truth once in awhile. They do in Arizona. any how. and perhaps they do in Eng land. But it was not because of anything the Duke had ever done that that senseless mob rubbered at him and his wife. IL was simply and solely because of his title.
 Of course the mob" did no harm. But where is the use of its being so inconsistent?

The Famous Letter

Here is the famous Woodrow Will son letter written April 29. 1907. to Adrian H. Joline. regarding which there has been such a wealth of comment:
 Thank you very much for send ing me your address at Parsons. Kansas. before the board of directors of the Missouri, Kansas x Texas Railway company. l have read IL with relish and entire agreement. Would that We could do something at once dignified and effective to knock MT. Bryan once for all into a cooked hat.
 Cordially and sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON.
 Judging from Mir. Bryans latest outgivings he seems inclined to turn the other cheek to Mir. Wilson. who showed such jealous ambition to swat him. But the explanation probably is that MT. Bryan hates Colonel Harvey considerably worse than he does Mir. Wilson. With Harvey eliminated the Peerless One might have something to say about cooked hats himself
