BATTLE or THE BREADS


New York Evening Post: The bat
tie of the breads has been going on
in france, where the merits of white
bread recently scored victory over
the brown or Graham bread. The
latter, adopted in 1908 for the army,
has now been replaced by white
bread ration. The daily portion of
as ounces of white bread has been re-
duced to % ounces, but the white
flour is estimated to contain one
sixth more of nutritive substances
than the Graham, Other advantages
claimed for white bread are that it
absorbs liquids more freely, thus "a
cilitating the amalgamation of saliva
and gastric Juice The white bread in
turn is more completely assimilated
than the brown, whose larger proper
ton Of mineral salts thus goes for
nothing. Economically the brown
bread is at a disadvantage, since the
bran It contains can be used as a food
for animals more profitably than for
man: A commission appointed by the
French minister of war sums up its
findings in the statement that the
growing use of white bread among
civilized peoples is founded upon ''the
experience of millions a million times
repeated"

LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT

Washington Star: 1t is easy to
sympathize with Robert T. Lincoln's
protest against the use Mr.. Roosevelt
is making of his fathers record and
opinions. Little thought is taken
when a campaign yapper declares
from the stump that Mr.. Lincoln said
soand-so, and If alive today would be
in opposition to the party he once led.
That is an old offense, and may pro-
coed as much from ignorance as from
viciousness.
But MIR. Roosevelt is reading man,
and has made a specially OF political
history and biography. He has writ
ten much about many men who have
figured in them. He does not lack for
light about Mr.. Lincoln or the Lin
colnian era, and to the extent that he
is misinterpreting. both at this time
the performance may be set down as
deliberate offense for campaign pur.
poses against the facts.
As things go in this world, a really
great man like Mr.. Lincoln is tar
get for much abuse and misrepresen-
tation. He possessed a rare fund of
stories, and had a most felicitous
knack of applying them. He could
make a piece of court house ;1umor, or
a bit Of tavern repartee, or the quaint
philosophy OF the curbstone, do duty
in illustrating an affair of state. and
This contributions in that line are
among the rough gems today of pop
ular thought and talk.
But who has not heard scores of
pointless, off-color yarns attributed to
Mr.. Lincoln which no more represent
his gift as a story-teller than they
do his philosophy of life? 1t is one
OF the tricks of the trade to load such
a man down, and his memory after
he is gone, with all sorts land condi-
lions of sentiments. Many of the So
called Lincoln stories he never heard,
and would have been moved to dis
gust had they been repeated to him.
Not that he was squeamish, for he was
thoroughly masculine, but that he
hated both stupid story and stupid
remark.
There was one quality that shone
with unusual splendor in Mr.. Lin
coins composition. He had infinite
patience. Haste, or hurrah, or slap.
dish never marked his course toward
anything. His mind and his methods
were orderly. Neither his friends nor
his foes could hurry him. He would
not be hurried even about the su-
preme act of his public, career-the
emancipation proclamation. He thought
that out with greatest care, although
many of his supporters had been
clamoring for it from the very be-
ginning OF his administration.
1t is sort of outrage, therefore, for
Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends to draft
TO. their present purposes this superb
figure, whose views about the constitu-
ton were repeatedly expressed, and
tried in the fiercest fires that have
ever burned in this country. He does
not belong in their company, and if
alive today would scorn II

CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM

CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM
The news from China deals no losg-
er with civil war and mutiny, but with
the details of a constructive program
now being inaugurated by the new re-
publican government. When rioting
and looting rboke out in Picking after
the downfall of the imperial system,
the facile prophets OF disaster lost no
time in announcing the still-birth OF
republican institutions, the dispem-
berment of the country, and the set
ting up of monarchial dynasties In
Manchuria, Mongolia, and the prov
inces of the west. But military dis
order has subsidized, and one after the
other the wheels of constitutional gov.
eminent are being set in motion. This
does not mean that the new regime
has made the passage of the straits
and is now safe in port. Reactions
and disorders are to be expected in
the antural course of things, but the
indications are that such difficulties
must now be taken as the last efforts
Of dying order. The financial strin'
gency at Picking is being relieved by
the inflow of foreign loans. This is
not only important in itself AS doing
away with one of the chronic obsta.
cles to governmental reorganization
in China, but as indicating the conf
dence of foreign observers in the per-
manence of the republican regime.
