fully attractive and interesting.
Mr.. Taft told me that he had visit
ed Berlin about twenty years ago, and
later had remained owe night in Ber-
lin. but on the occasion of his last
visit he had no chance to observe the
great improvement and progress tina,
has been made. For you must know
that Berlin under the reign of En-
peror William has made great strides
crease in population or in physical
beauty as has Berlin in the last twen-
ty years.
Your country is magnificent,

to four times greater than those of

Criticiscs Capitol's Statues.
IF anything were needed to con
firm some recent criticisms of the
works of are in the national capitol,
it is the fact that there is not a single
piece of bronze or marble the work of
Americas most illustrious sculptor,
Saint-Gaudcns. in thre capitol or any
other public building in Washington
SAID oscar RnineS, an art connoiSSeur
of Chicago. 1t is to be regretted that
the ~exigencies of politics have depriv-
ed the seat of government of any of
the works of Saint-Gaudens, who was
recognized as the foremost sculptor of
this country, and has a reputation
abroad tina will RAM with the best.
SO far as l am informed, and so
FAR AS ] can discover, there is but a
single figure in Washington thai is the
work of Saint-Gaudcns-that known
as Grief which is in Rock Greek
cemetery. Every city of culture, as
Boston and Chicago, has some master
piece OF Saint-Gaudens. except Wash
inston. This false idea of giving Ia
native sons the task of modelling the
great men to represent the states in
statuary hall, of course, is responsible
for the freak that are assembled
there. I 10 not believe the most lib
eral critic could pick more than seven
statues in statuary hall that can be
given praise. The two representins
observation-disclosures of Charles Carroll
and John Hansen-by r.. f. Brooks,
are excellent: those of ingalls, of Kan
sas. and Garfield and Gov, Allen of
Ohio by ..iehaus are fine; that of
Cass by French. though somewhat he
roic, is creditahle, and the latest addi-
ton to the list, that of Gen. Lew Wal
lace. executed by Andrew O'Connor, is
exceedingly artistic and striking, if
somewhat departing from the accept
ed rules of sculpture.
one of The poorest pieces of work,
think. is that of Thomas Benton, of

IN MICHIGAN

Detroit. Mich, Aug. 24.-The cam
paign preceding the Michigan primar-
les closed today with many political
rallies in all parts of the state. On
Tuesday next all parties are to engage
in statewide primaries for the selec-
ton Of candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor. one United States
senator. representatives in congress.
members of the legislature and city
and county officers. The selection of
candidates for state officers. except
ing governor and lieutenant governor,
will be made in state conventions to
be held later.
The campaign, on the whole, has
been of rather n luke-Warrn variety.
The republicans, who a held al
most undisputed control of the state
for years. lost much of their ginger
in the bitter f%actional light between
the Taft and Roosevelt adherents last
spring. The fight left the party and
its leaders more or less bewilder cred.
Governor Chase NJ. Osborn. one of the
early and ardent Roosevelt supporters
has apparently been left to flock by
himself. Many others who in the past
have been numbered among the re-
publican leaders of Michigan have
taken no part in the present CAM
paign.
Inc oeHnocTatS nave Iound some en-
couragement in the fractional strife of
the enemy and are displaying more
activity than in former years. But the
democrats, like the old-line republi-
cans, are bothered over the appear
ance of the third party in the field.
The national progresives will have a
place on the primary ballot and will
make nominations for all of the i'm
portant places to be filed at the No
vember election.
The republican candidates for the
~gubernatorial nomination are Fred c.
Martindale of Detroit, the present Sec
Of Grand Rapids. Two years ago Mus
selman was Governor Osborne's chief
opponent for the republican nominal

Jackson. who s now a republican
member of the state senate. J. D.
Leland, a banker Of Corunna. is to
head the state ticket Of the prohibit
ionists.
United States Senator William AL
den Smith. whose term will expire
next March. has no opposition to the
republican ranks for reelection. The
democratic aspirants for the toga are
former Congressman Alfred Lucking,
of Detroit and George p. Hummer Of
Grand Rapids. T. y. Joslyn Of Ad-
rian is the third party choice for the
senatorship and W. A. Taylor of Bat

ton. Shortly before the third party
convention this year he announced
himself a strong progressive, but lat
er issued a statement declaring that
he was not a third party man and
that he would prefer defeat with the
republican party in his race for the
governorship than to cast his lot with
the new party.
The democrati- choice for the gov
ernorship is Woodbridge n. Ferris,
who is the head of an educational in
stitution at Big Rapids. Prof. Ferris
has long been prominent in demo-
cratic politics in Michigan. Twenty
years ago he was a candidate for con-
gress and in 1904 he was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for governor.

POLITICS AND CITIES.

"AneriCan cities are slow 10 learn
that the police should he as complete
ly separate from politics as the army
and navy are" remarks the Philadel-
phia Record. The remark is true. II
might la enlarged To assert that the
majority of the governing powers in
American cities refuse to learn the
lesson. Indeed, We might also object

ON which thu liberty and even the
lives of III" public depend should be

most urgent in the case of the police.
as the revolving scandals hat appear
when the police @et under political
sway ~ahundantly testify.
Vet when We examine the range OF
city service the same rule applies TO
all. The fire department has the safe
ty of life and property under Its
guardianship. IT," sanitary service
deals with their life and health. The
accounting department disposes It's
bushes to q vast aggregate. No
department of the municipal business
that is worth paying for can be spar

There is no NOR. singular faulty

pther part of government, to the d.
visions Of national politics.

Russia is pacific and prosperous

"Russla is pacific and prosperous"
said Dr. Ivan kablukov. professor of
chemistry IN the University of Mos
cow. ii delegate to the international
congress of applied chemistry. DR..
kablukov is making his first visit to
America, and declares that he is much
impressed with the magni1icence of
the COUNTRY and with the tireless en-
crgv of the people.
In Russia. as in other nations Of
Europe. AS Well as in the United States
the great problem of recent times is
the high cost of living" said the doc
tor. This year Russia will make a
big wheat crop, and other crops will
he proportionately large. This, it is
believed. will bring down the price of
food and will make the people con-
tented and happy.
The prospects of good crops have
made business exceedingly good
throughout Russia. But the general
better perhaps than that in other
countries of Europe.
Il can see no danger of a revolu-
ton in Russia" continued DIR. kab-
lukoN. The car is beloved OF his
people, and is doing everything posi-
Bile TO make their condition comfort
able. The relations between Nicholas
and the duma are more amicable, and
throughout the country the condition
of the populace is better than it has
been in Years.
Russia has a very friendly feeling
for the United States added the doc
tor.
DR.. Kablukov, who reached New
York on August s, expects TO remain
here until after the congress Of chem
istry ends its sessions, when he will
sail for Europe.

Disturbed in Lofty Slccn.

Under the influence of liquor a
Senturesome man at Springfield. Ohio,
caused the police no end of trouble by
climbing a new water tank 100 feet
in the air at n of the factories. Two
policemen who were dispatched to the
scene were not climbers. and they
were afraid to go to him and afraid
to let him alone lest he shall fall.
Finally they were able to induce a
small boy to climb to the top of the
tank where. hanging by an arm and
leg. the drunken man Went to sleep.
The boy carried a rope with him and
tied him fast. Relieving him of a
bottle of liquor, the boy climbed
down. and the policemen made regular
trips to the tank to see how their man
was sleeping. After some hours,
when about a square away, they saw
the fellow making his way to the
ground. He had awakened and united
himself. He O. to his heels when
he saw the policemen approaching,
