DLdie Archdale. Since the sale of
this little mare is the fastest piece

Dudio Archdale is called a freak trot-

THE DEMOCRACY OF PRESIDENT

We know that there is such a thing as a kind of insistent and noisy dem ocratic spirit; wearing equality on the sleeve for laws t1 pick at: slap ping Ceasar's self upon the back: for effetc. throwing official dignity to tn, winds: being in d word. Ostentatious- ly democratic so as tO be seen ot men. But all this may go with an instinct and a mental attitude that are wholly pdtriCian. one who ap- pears n be q ClamorouS democrat may really be laying to his soul the flattering unction that hc is born with a divine right to rule: and at the very time when he is prOStratinE himself before the multitude. may be filled with a naughty sense of his own superiority.

SCIENCE VERSUS NATURE.

The laboratory naturalist is ham, pered by the narrowness of his field; he has but one string to his bow, he has to do with only one phase or motive of animal lfe-the desire for food: the handspring of the behavior of all his subjects is their hunger
 Spurred on by the sight or smell of food they attack the problems he sets before them. All the rest of their varied and picturesque activities in field and wood, their multipleX life problems for which nature has equipped them. both physically and mentally. their loves. their wars. their home making and their nest building. their mgrations, their herdings, their flockings, their rivalries. eluding their enemies. hunting their prey, their so- cial instincts, their CoOperationS-in fact. all of their relations with one another and with their natural en- vironment-from all this the indoor investigator is cut off: only the stimulus of food. or the fear of pun ishment. remains for him to work upon His animals act only under the incentive of appetite.

SOCIALISM IN ENGLAND.

Vice President john F. Gardin of the National City bank got back to his desk yesterday from European travels without the usual stock of brightness about the condition of that continent But Gardin doesn't really think that there will be a great European war at once. He said:
 Local conditions in England are in my opinion. in a bad way. So cialism rules. The English govern ment is really sOcialistic. and the methods Of taxation now in force and being discussed are extremely detrimental Parliament is being filled with men who never had any idea of law making and they are enacting legislation which is seriously injur- irC the investing class. Through the direct taxes alone q man must pay considerable percentage of his lh- come to the government, and m ad- dition to this there ts the excise tax which. in respect to the revenue de rived. equals the tariff in this coun- try.
 There is absolutely no demand for gilt-edged securities. A large amount of money is being invested in Cana dian projects. but there is none for first class home investments.
 European money conditions at present are quiet. There will un- doubtcdly be a heavy borrowing de- mand during the year. however, as nearly every state in Germany. the Imperial government and Italy will all need funds. The city of Paris will put out an issue of bonds in the spring of 300,OOO.0OQ or 100000 frances. and if money remains as easy here as it is now this country will participate in many of the offer ings of European nations. The issue of city of Paris bonds should cause gold exports from the United States
 In talking to men in England you would gather from what they say that they are worried, but you can feel the undercurrent and you may learn from their business operations that they are afraid. The situation is critical. but in my opinion not dan gerouS New York Sun.

THE WORLD HATES A BACHELOR

Men were first allowed some free dom not to marry. but this was grudgingly given. and with many penalties for the idiocyncrasy. In Sparta. we are told. bachelors were under the ban. disfranchised by law. excluded from witnessing the great public proc-ssions which were the pride of the state. and in winter time compelled to march naked around the market place. singing as they went a song testifying to their own disgrace by which they justly suffered punishment" And in this land so inSistent in all other respects upon reverence for the aged. there was one exception; a youth might refuse and without reproof to rise and give a seat tO a venerable bache- lor even to one who had done hon. orable service for the state. saving, No son of yours will ever rise to give me seat" This punishment of the bachelor has been common in many ages and countries and eX- tended down to the early days of our own history. In Connecticut in 1636. a law was passed which would not allow any young unmarried man to keep house." and Hartford taxed lone men twenty shillings a week for the selfish luxury of solitary living" Tn 1882 a special town order gave permission for two bachelors to keep house together. 'sO they carry themselves soberly and do not en- tcrtain idle persons to the evil eX- pense of time by day or night" while as late as the eighteenth century general statute of Connecticut for bade any householder under pen alty of fine, to give entertainment or habitation to single persons with out special allowance of the select men."-Anna Garlin Spencer, in the Forum.

THE VALUE OF MATHEMATICS

What god does mathematics do your pupiis:" was in substance the question pu. to the teachers of this subject in the private high schools of the United States by commission whose reporc has just been printed for free distribution by the United states Bureau of Education.
 To this question the mathematics teachers of the country responded to the Last member:
 They get mental discipline
 And what do you mean by mental discipline? 9" asked the commission which comments upon the answers re- ceived as fO ows:
 Mental discipline is, in most cases, described in vague, general terms, loosely applied. representing all sorts of mental and even moral qualities which are believed to result from q discipline of the mind. Nearly all have q firm convection that general abilities are gained through exercise of the mind upon a particular subject, espe- Cially mathematics
 "A composite of the replies shows that mental discipline is considered to be that which produces an improve ment in intuition, judgment, memory. imagination. intelligence, reason, men tai powers, reasoning powers: or an improvement in ability or power of mental concentration. initiative, sus- tained effort. analysis, generalization; CT an improvement in ability to think rapidly. cle8Ily, independently, logical ly: to recognize the essential elements in a problem, to note rcSembances and relationships. to grasp and apply prin- Ciples, to understand cause and effect.
 "One of the most generally approved results of mental discipline is the abii- ity to express thoughts clearly. con- cisely and accurately. In a few cases mental discipline is described as the formation of habits; habits of mental concentration of industry. of accuracy in thought and expression.

WHAT IS A BUSINESS MAN?

ThiTty-fiVe Chicago business men sat down to luncheon at the Midday Club the other day to organize in de fense of property rights and against socialistic doctrines. The chairman. Alfred IT. Mullikan, explained why he deemed a business mems movement specially necessary just now. and then went on to make this definition: By business man is meant q man of any occupation who works to make money. whose word is good and Who stands well in the community" Mr. Mul- likan is a business man and not lexi- cOgrapher; he is eXcusable if his defin ition is not SO Illuminating that one iould guess from it what word was be- ing defined-a test which the dictiOn- aeies do not invariably meet
 But if a business mems movement in politics is to be set on foot, q some what closer definition may be needed. Any occupation is perhaps too broad and should be followed by q limiting word. Is a baseball player a business man? Is an actor? Is a bricklayer? Is a writer of novels? Is a corporation lawyer? Most men work to make money. and get it in varying amounts. Nor does what follows constitute a sufficient limitation. It cannot he said that business men, in the general Un- derstandine of the term. have 9 mon opoly of keeping their word or of standing well in the community" A party composed of people of this sort might be slightly smaller than one made up Of all those. who work to make money" but it would not be business mems party. It might. for all anybody could tell, be captured by the socialists, when the business men would have to begin all over again.
 For everyday purposes everyone knows what business man is. He belongs to the board of trade. He reads Jhe financial page of the news paper He eats the business mems luncheon which restaurants have un- dertaken to supply with an evident appreciation of the solemn importance of the business mans digestion. IL is not difficult. in the concrete case. to identify the business man. l. is not question of being an employer or an emplove-many good business men. especially in these days of big corpora tions. are working on a salary. But does a clerk become d business man when he mounts his high stool? No more than he becomes q banker or a writer or mathematician. This vagucneSs of reference is for many purposes highly useful. The word has been seized upon with avidity bv for eigners. taken over bodily into French and Italian. perhaps into other langu- ages. But abroad the term has lost this agreeable vagueness. The "busi- ness man" this is the "affarista.' the manager of enterprises. the Morgan. the Rockefeller. the Carnegie. In that sense it cannot be said that we lack or need business mans movement in politics. In what sense can it be said that there is such a lack or such a need? \ committee on definition would seem to be one of the first require ments of the new organization Springfield ReDublican
