HISTORIC al Parallels.

The hunt for historical parallels which never
wholly ceases is carried with vehement
tvity during campaign time. Colonel Roosevelt
sought establish parallel between himself
and Abraham Lincoln. His views Lin
coin s, views that is, the views Lincoln would
have held had he been Roosevelt in 1912 or ae
tive in American politics at the patriarchal age
of one hundred and three; RooseYelts plain peo
pie were like unto the plain people whom
Abraham Lincoln always appealed that is to
say. we have colonel RooseNet's assurance to
this effect This assurance was nor accepted
by many outside the. Roosevelt camp aud
-crTrfC remarked That Roosevelt did not look like
Lincoln nor think like Lincoln, talk like
Lincoln. but that otherwise the resemblance was
complete
The search for the historical parallel is not
at all dampened by the production OF a contrast.
The searcher has got something in which the
name of the man sought is found, To be sure
it is a contrast. but then contrast will do
better than empty handedness He who IL bit
ten. with the mania for parallels is deaf to all
argument 1t Is no use to tell him that Abraham
Lincoln stood by himself and occupies place
apart in the list of our presidents, that he
more resemhled his successor than he resembled
his predecessor and that the points in common
between him and George Washington were hon.

Solves High Cost of Living.


'Indivduasm'' is the title of booklet just
written by Joseph Jordan Deveny. Of Cleveland
to solve the high cost of living" and other
economic problems.
The author states that the need of the times
is equal distribution OF wealth. and
Federal constitution amended az to limit the
amount of commercial property which each
individual may possess TO 100000 In ad-
dition. each could have an unlimited amount
OF non-commercial property, such as their resi-
dence, art. automobiles etc. A family OF five
would thus be permitted to RETAIN about half a
million dollars
In support of the principle Deveny argues
that 1t would not be advisable If one person
owned all the wealth in the world. therefore
there must be some amount between nothing
ana everything 70 which each one should be
limited.
Limited ownership was applied in Greece and
Rome with good results according to Aristotle.

AS gteat injustice done to Mr.. Alton
x. Parker before the Baltimore convention by
those Democratic delegates who fought his chair
inansh1p as was ever done to colorless, sptneless
hesh of mortal man. Their objection to him was
that his Baltimore speech would be made the
keynote of the campaign" And then, after he
was chosen and began to make his speech, not
even the delegates who had voted him into the
ehnfr would stay in the hall to hear what he
mad to say. And with that object lesson, to
suppose that the American people. North and
South, East or West would lister tc anything
that Parker might say the great questions
of the day!
