BERLIN. October I9.-Those who have
met the kaiser lately agree that he looks
at least ten years older than he did when.
bronzed and rudy. he returned from his
last Norway cruise.
In spite of being in many respects
practical man OF business. the kaiser has
always been moving in world of ideals.
and now that he has passed the BOUNDARY
line which separates vigorous manhood
from beginning old age he sees his ideals
one after the other c-umbling IN the
dust.
A fond husband and stern father of the
old school, he Always has maintained au-
thority inside his family. At present
the imperial family is a house divided
against itself. Crown Prince Wilhelm
married a girl OF his own choice. who.
from the very first. in quiet way
prompted her husband 10 develop his in

day a deep chasm which seems absolute.
ly insurmountable separates the kaiser

qualities he still admires.
The kaser's on.y daughter also has do
veloped a mind of her own, and refuses
to submit to her fathers within, especial
ly since her mother. the kaiserin. by the
delicate state of her health, is prevented
from acting the continual peacemaker.
The kaiser is also greatly worried at his
consort's falling health for her condition
is far more serious than outsiders are
permitted to suspect.

SOLDIERS ON STREETS
UNDER STRICT ORDERS
French Fighters Not Permitted to
Read Newspapers While
Walking in Uniform.
Special Cablegrum to The Star.

Special Cablegr1m to The Star.
PARIS, October 19.-The military gov
ernor of Paris has forbidden all soldiers
under his command-in other words, all
the soldiers garrisoned i'm Paris-to read
newspapers when they are walking about
the streets in uniform. The prohibition is
quaint one, because of the incorrieible
habit of so many Parisians. In London
one very rarely sees man reading a
newspaper in the street unless he hap
pens. to be stationary. In Paris it is the
most usual thing in the world for a man
to bump into You, and to apologize that
he was SO interested in his copy of the
Petit Parisien or the Matin that he did
not see where he was going.
Should Amend Their Department.
The military governor might go even
further and endeavor to do something to
improve the general department of the
French soldier in the streets While there
is little doubt as to his sterling merit as
a fighting man, his slatternly appearance
and slouching walk make it difficult for
a foreigner to realize his good qualities
No American visitor to Paris can fail to
be impressed with the difference between
the French soldier and the American, for
the usual attitude of the former is SLOUGH
ing, hands in pockets. and smoking a
cigarette. There is. of course, the differ
ence between a conScript and a regular to
be taken into account, but even allowing
for this, there seems to be no reason why
the French soldier should not be taught
to adopt a more military gait out of
barracks.

Defeats in Politics.

In politics. foreign and domestic. the
kaiser has suffered great personal de-
feats. The recent death of Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, upon whose genius
he had counted to counterfeit Frances
and Russia's growing influence on Eng
lish politics. was dreadful, blow to him
and will necessitate the revolutioniZing
of German diplomatic tactics in Europe.
The triple alliance is disintcgrating, and
no one knows what viii happen in Aus
tria when Emperor Francis Joseph dies.
Italy is daily drawn more closely toward
France.
At home the growth of the German
democracy worries the kaiser, who can
not make up his mind to turn aside from
his path as sem-autocratic ruler and
follow the lead which the crown prince
has set. because he is convinced that this
means the beginning OF the end OF the
Hohenzollern dynasty.
AS man of honor and a soldier. he IL
shocked at the recent cheating at n sport
ing competition of "A whole regiment or
his beloved Life Guards, whose uniform
he now refuses to wear. though il was
always his favorite costume. and many
other minor incidents i'm the army which
have not become public knowledge have
convinced him that to be officer and
gentleman is not considered synonymous
in the army he loves.

THE JOINT DEBATE.

The challenge given by Congressman
A. P. Gardner to Mr.. Roosevelt for
joint debate is an incident bit out
of the ordinary rotine CT political cam
paigning.
The joint debate has had some
voge in the South and West, more
than in the East. But as a whole the
political rally seems something like a
the sacrilegious pews would scandalize
the meeting.
The one-sidedness of the typical po-
litical rally has not helped popular edu-
cation in political science. Over in
England, where the audiences behave
much verse than with us, the rally is
storm the platforms and hustle unpopu-
lar candidates into the back seats, or
display their craftsmanship with an
tique eggs. Interruptions and inter
jections of dissent are expected and
are promptly met.
In spite Of all this silly disorder the
strict party man gets through the give
and take of joint debate, a glimpse Of
the attitude Of the other side which
broadens his convictions. If it does
not convert him, at least he secs where
his traditional faith must be altered
to meet the points where his opponen S
are strong.
The one-sidedness of the average po-
litical rally is tiresome to the non-po-
litical business or working man. 1t is
like giving a lawyer the chance to
talk to a jury with the other lawyer
and judge absent.
The joint debate and the English Gus
tom Of "heckling" a candidate place
at disadvantage the man who cannot
think quickly enough for the rough and
tumble of debate. A man may read
human nature like an open page, may
be able to organize a great enterprise,
and yet if it takes him minute in
stend of ten seconds to see the weak
point in his opponents attack, he
may be useless on the platform.
But in so far as public men are able
to meet opponents face to face, the joirt
debate tends to dissipate the sancti-
monious exclusiveness of the political
partisan.
A political faith is not of much use
unless one knows all the articles and
arguments of his opponents creed, and
has studied them enough to find all
the holes in them.

SPEED AT SEA

The peril from icebergs in the North
Atlantic, which has just resulted in
the horrible Titanic disaster might
be averted if travellers were willing
to spend day or so more for route
farther south.
The risk could also be much re-
duced if it were permissible to run at
very slow speed through fcgs. But
as any steamship company that adopt
ed that practice would find that its
passengers would raher gain half day
than be safe, such precautions are
net likely to be adopted.
To the landlubber jcurneyirg over the
lonesome wastes Of old Atlantic, there
is weird undertone of fear as he lis
tens to the grim boom of the fog
whistle. The luxury and power of the
ship gives such an impression of all
conquering force that the grisly face
of death that turks cut on the waters
may seem remote. The wireless dis
patches posted on the bulletin board
remove the old feeling Of isolation.
But still you can never obliterate the
common sense fact that no human pow
Ell can wholly assure safety when a
ship is driving ahead Is or 20 miles
into thick darkness, where no human
eye can tell what lies just behind the
grey wall of dripping mist
The newspapers have been full OF
articles for some years telling how dan
ger had been eliminated at sea. The
old joke about the sailcr in a storm
who pited the poor landsmen with the
chimneys falling about them, has seem
to have good deal of point.
The great ships have been coming
and going with such monoton0us regu
larity, that crossing the Atlantic seems
safer, and probably is safer, than cross
ing the automobile infested streets of
New York to reach the docks.
But as long as cur restless human
nature will persist in driving as fast
when you can't see as when you can,
the triumphs of modern science will
not make the prayer for those that
go down to the sea in ship wholly cb-
solete

LOG DRAG is VERY USEFUL
Greatest Invention Of the Age and Has
Great Value in Its Power to
Move Dirt on Roads.

The log drag, simple as it Is, is the
greatest invention of the age, counting
the amount of good that can be done
with it at SO small a cost. Probably
the next best tool to the drag for dirt
roads is the common field harrow.
The great value Of the road drag
especially the one with cutting
blade, is in it's power Of moving dirt
and grading as we'll as surfacing and
compacting the road. Either with dry
dirt or with mud, two teams to good
drag can push more dirt to the center
of road than can possibly be done
with any other tool When once
graded perfect road grade can easily
be maintained with the use of the
drag.
Keeping country earth roads in good
shape with native material at hand
can be done with little time and ex.
pense with proper active public senti.

Details of Log Drag.

ment. 1t has been demonstrated in
some sections that all the roads of a
township can be dragged within three
hours time. The farmers are called ur
by telephone and all turn out at one
time, soon making an end of the job.
There are now hundreds of com.
munities where all of the farmers turn
out EN- masse to harrow and drag the
roads without any direct money com
pensation In some places they are
allowed so cents a mile for the work
1t is easy to stimulate active interest
in the good roads cause in almost any
rural com munity. When the people
once become interested in the work
and have seen actual results, com
munity organization is found and good
roads are always the result.
