Brazil is Unfriendly Also.

1t is reported that the Brazilian ambasa-
dor has indicted to the state department
that his government will enter serious
protest against the prosecution of the
coffee trusts. Government investigators
have shown that there is a combination
on among the big importers, working in
connection with the valorization scheme
of the State of Rao Paulo, to control the
price Of coffee offered to the consumer.
The Brazilian state undertook by buving
all coffee offered, by restricting produc-
ton and other means to keep up the
price to the producers.
Those in the combination, the coffee
trust, have taken from the market and
stored in New York warehouses csc, 900
bags of 100 pounds each. The govern
ment is proposing to seize those under
the authority of the Sherman anti trust
law and the Brazilian representatives an.
nounceS that his government will consider
such seizure as can unfriendly act"
While the people of Brazil may not like
it, they should understand that 90. 600, 900
of ultimate consumers in this country do
not consider it friendly act' to double
the price of coffee on them-.St Paul
Dispatch.

Types of Politicians.

Politicians are of several species.
There is the pleasant politician like Nc
Kinley; the political sage, like Horatio
Seymour; the professional boss, like
Quay; the business politician. like Hanna;
the quiet politician, like Lamont; the
politician with a tongue, like Thomas
Reed, and then there are a few others
Roosevelt represents type numerically
smaller than any of these, and type
Of which he is perhaps a master speci-
men-the politician who could not help
being one if he tried.
That is what makes it so hard to dis
sect him for literary purposes. Almost
any other figure in our public life could
be studied in his character as a poll
tican separately from his character as
man; with him it is an impossiblity. The
man is the politician, the politician is the
man You can no more separate the two
than you can separate spring from cistern
water in the same vessel. Whether he
knows it or not, he entered politics in
swaddling Clothes or it may be more
accurate 10 say that he was born into
politics much the same way that in GER
tain religious bodies, every child is born
into the church. Atlantic Magazine.

ME AND LINCOLN.

Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech at Gettys-
burg May 3d. in the course Of further
comparisons between Me and Lincoln, "
declared that we must apply to the issues
of 10 day the spirit of lofty idealism and
homely common sense in which Abraham
Lincoln worked"
Very we'll then, let us apply Abraham
LinColn'S lofty idealiSm and homely
common sense to Theodore Roosevelt.
Let us begin with the idealism first.
Could anybody conceive of Abraham
Lincoln's soliciting campaign Contrlbu
tons from Southern slave-ownerS? Could
anybody imagine Abraham Lincoln's
permitting secessionists to finance his
Presidential candidacy? Yet if Lincoln
had done this he would have done what
Theodore Roosevelt is doing
Mr.. Roosevelt processes to be the
enemy of Wall street and the trusts, yet
he is drawing his campaign fund from
Wall street now as he drew it in 1904
The men who are contributing most law
ishv are men identified with corporations
that the Taft Administration is now pros
ecuting for violating the Sherman law. 1t
is as if Lincoln had collected campaign
tribute from the Shareholders in the South
while he was attacking the bred Scott
decision in the North
So much for Mr.. Roosevelts relation
to Lincoln's lofty idealism." If he
wishes to apply Lincoln's 'homely COM
mon sense to his own case, that is easy
too We think the first questions that
Abraham Lincoln would suggest about
Theodore Roosevelt would be these:
'Why should he alone among all the
Presidents have a third term? What
great service can he render that nobody
else can render? What great crisis can
he meet that nobody else can meet? Why
should the third term tradition be sus-
pended in his case?
There could be no answer to these
| questions because there is no reason
known to American government why
Mr.. Roosevelt should have a third term.
| The only great crisis is the crisis created
bv his candidacy.
The Lincoln rule admits OF indefinite
application to Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct.
| Who could think of Abraham Lincoln's
assailing President Buchanan with the
virulent abuse that mr. Roosevelt has
hurled against President Taft? Who
could think of President Lincoln's
threatening to bolt Republican National
Convention if he were nominated for
President? Who could think OF Abraham
Lincoln's menacing the Republican party
with destruction unless it named him for
President? Who could think of Abraham
Lincoln as believing that he was the only
man in a Nation of q5, 900, 900 inhabitants
who was fit to be President?
To apply LincoIns lofty idealism and
homely common sense" to Theodore
Roosevelt would be to eliminate Theo-
dore Roosevelt from the campaign.-N.
