when Catherine was scarce 80.
In spite of actions which would
lead one to think that Catherine pos
sessed neither shred of modesty nor
a grain of conscience. she was one
of the wisest and most influential rul-
ers of her time. It is said that she
found St. Petersburgh a village OF
novels and left it city of brick and
marble. She greatly extended the
boundaries of her kingdom. gave
Russia a code of laws, encouraged
the cultivation of arts and letters in
Russia and did as much as any
monarch Russia has ever aa1 to adj
vance her interests In the political
history of Europe.
1t is said that she lavisns1 almost
sixty million dollars on her various
favorites who served one after an
other to aid her with the great works
she carried on for the Qualification Of
the land of her adoption; and yet
with all her ability it was With a
woman's tact and a woman's intui-
ton that she ruled. She herself said
that she had been guided not by sys-
TEN of government. but by "circum-
stances, conjecture and conjunctisns.'

Vat because she early displayed
gifts of tact and a magnetic per-
sonality, added to remarkable beauty,
she was chosen by Empress Elizabeth
Of Russia to be the wife Of her
nephew, Peter, who afterward be-
came Emperor of Russia Elizabeth
was only 16 when in 1862 she was
thrown into the intrigues Of the Rus
sian court, which was at that time
unspeakably immoral and coarse. But
Elizabeth was adaptable, and when
her husband, openly satts5scted to all
sorts of indignities and Neglect, she
followed his example. BDs she was
wiser than her husband. He openly
showed his preference for German
things, German people and German
manners, while she. though a Ger
man by birth, showed herself a great
admirer of the Russians. When Peter
threatened to divorce Catherine and
make the Princess Dashkoff his wife,
she returned the compliment in good
measure and succeeded, with the as
sistanee of one of her favorites, in
having Peter deposed in her favor
and afterward conveniently stran-
gIed. This happened few months
after Peter ascended the throne and

The late Frederick w. Hollis, who
was one of the delegates represent
ing the United States at the first
Hague conference, was able after his
return to the United States. in 1902,
to report to his friends what Kaiser
wilhelm had said to his immediate
circle shortly after his meeting with
Mr.. Morgan.
1.-The German emperor was tremen-
dously impressed with Mr.. Morgan"
said Mr.. Hollis. II learned this upon
very high authority. He practically
said after the interview was over that
he not only admired Mr.. Morgan, but
liked him.
ct think continued Mr.. Hollis,
that this was the most extraordinary
meeting between two distinguished
men-one a monarch of Europe and
the other a simple American citizen
since benjamin Franklin met some of
the crowned heads of Europe. Mr..
Morgan knew when he sailed for kiel
that the German emperor was anxious
to meet him. He furthermore knew
that the emperor regarded him as a
man who in his own sphere of ac-
tivfty was as true monarch as the
emperor himself was.
81 was told by some of my German
friends that the emperor was always
exceedingly anxious to learn all that
he could about the organization of the
United States Steel Corporation, and
that he believed it greater piece of
work from the financial and construc-
tive point of view than was anything
that Cecil Rhodes had done in South
Africa. There had been, short time
earlier. a meeting between the En-
peror William and Cecil Rhodes, who
at that time was called the Colossus
of South Africa
AT the emperor's invitation, Mr..
Morgan with a number of Ameri-
cans, including Clement A. Griscom,
Of Philadelphia and P. A. Widener.

The fact that humanity in the mass
is slow to wrath and quite as slow to
enthusiasm is the only thing that
makes an organized. society possible.
otherwise we'd be most enthusiastic-
ally hanging each other every day.
and the survivors would be as en-
Enthusiastically building monuments tol
us upon every morrow. The man who
is eternally bowling about the blind
ness and stubbornness of public opin-
ion is bowling about that which keeps
him from getting hurt. He can see
no farther than his nose. If he did
he'd stop the lamentations. He'd sud
denly realize with shuddering vivid
ness that the engine of public opinion
which he would so lightly turn against
others might in the twinlxling of an
eye accomplish his own destruction.
BY its very slowness to make up its
nj I'd, the public sits and tests the
opinions of it's leaders. 1t safeguards
itself against violence and a million
errors. 1t goes slowly but surely,
and even then it goes wrong almost
Is often asl it goes right-being just
"A little more than half right all the
time.
If you seek to be a leader in any
thing you've first got to learn to
think clearly and sanely, and the first
thing you've got to think about Is
this disposition of the public to give
your Ideas long probation before
they are even partially accepted.
Whether you are in profession or
a business, are interested in politics
or theology, in social betterment or
in the advancement of science, you've
got to work and wait. Your first task
Is to reach clear and definite con-
clusion; your next to impress that
conclusion upon the public mind, and
the rock upon which your hopes seem
to so to wreck will in time be your

ciples which you have established

but it was made evident that Mr..
Morgan was the man whom the
kaiser especially desired to see and
to talk to.
soon after this visit the kaiser
slgnalled the Corsair from his yacht
that he was going to pay Mr. Nor
gan a visit The two men met as
though they were upon terms of per-
sonal and authoritative equality.
Each of the two men studied the
other and each knew that the other
was studying him. They were apart
from the rest of the company upon
Mr.. Morgan's yacht. Any one who
saw them. but did not know who they
were, would have been sure to think
that they were warm personal friends
and were at the same time of high
personal authority.
What the emperor and Mr. Morgan
talked about, of course, was not then
known and probably never will be.
But there are good reasons for sur
missing that the emperor was very
inquisitive, although courteously so,
being anxious to learn from Mr.. Nor
gan upon what economic principle
was based his organization of the
greatest corporation of the world and,
little later. his organization of the
great ocean steamship combination.
But the matter of immediate interest
to those who witnessed the interview
from a little distance was the evil
dent manifestation of respect and
acknowledgment of equality which
the German emperor displayed while
chatting with the man whom he re-
garded as the great leader of Ameri-
can business life"

Monroe Wins Again.

Feb. 28. Monroe was represented
by John L. Nolen, Harold M. Jayne,
and James G. Umstattd. This is
one of the best debating teams
Monroe has ever produced, as is
shown in that they defeated one of
the strongest High School teams in
the State.
The Macon team was composed
of Miller, SandersOn, and Store,
three debaters of remarkable skill.
Both sides put up excellent
speeches and showed that they had
been well-trained by their coaches,
Supt. Seaton of Macon, and Supt.
Sipple of Monroe The judges, Supt.
Banks of Kirksville High School,
Supt. Jones of LaPlatte High School,
and Supt. Hurt of Clarence, render
a decision of 2 to 1 in favor of Mon
roe. The question was, Resolved
that Capital Punishment should be
Abolished" Mr.. W. L. Scarborough
acted as chairman.
The debate was as follows: Mr..
Seaton, Coach of Macon team. gave
a short address of welcome in Which
he introduced a prophecy that m.
H. S." would win. Mr.. Nolen, first
speaker of the evening, arose, gave
a brief outline of what the Affirma-
tive was going to prove, then pro-
ceeded to prove Imprisonment to be
a better Preventative of Crime,
which point he brought out very
plainly. 80 ~ Ii.
ilr. Miller, tie first speaker on
the Negative, then took the floor
and began by naming the points
the Negative was going to prove.
The rest of his speech was centered
on proving Capital Punishment was
more humane.
Immediately following him. Mr..
Jayne proved that Imprisonment
was to be preferred to Capital Pun
ishment Mr.. Jayne brought this
point out clear and strong and left
no room for further argument.
Next, Mr.. Sanderson arose and
tried to prove that Capital Punish =
ment was more beneficial to society.
Although Mr.. Sanderson had an ex-
ceedingIy hard point to bring out,
he did well on it.
Following Mr.. Sanderson was,Mr.
Umstattd, third Affirmative. His
entire speech was taken up byrefut-
ing arguments put forth by his op-
ponents.. Mr., Umstattd left no arg
uments untouched, handling them
all with comparative ease.
Mr.. Stone, third Negative, next
tried to prove that pitallPuniSh-
ment more deterrent to Society
Mr.. Stone was speaker of much
talent and made a very deep i'm
pres 'ion on Onr boys.
The Negative was allowed seve n
minutes for rebuttal. which was Civ
en- by Mr.. Miller. He spent most of
his time trying to refute arguments
which Monroe had not mentioned,
never touching a single point brought
out by our boys.
The Affirmative was next allowed
seven minutes for rebuttal which
was rendered by Mr.. James Um-
stattd He showed clearly that the
Negative had not proved a single
point of any significance, and
summed up the points proved by
the Affirmative.
Thejudees rendered thier decision
without hesitation, which showed
that there was no doubt in their
minds as to whom victory belonged
