THE GERMAN EMPEROR

Germany is celebrating the tweny-ffth ami
versary of Emperor Williams accession to the throne
His history is yet too young to be seen in proper
perspective But yet it is old enough for the world
to realize how mistaken the anxiety with which
news was received quarter century ago, that the
untried, headstrong boy had taken the helm and
coolly sent about his private business even the Iron
Chancellor himself.
Bismarck had put the German empire on its feet
To speculate on what more he would have done to
it had he remained in power is like specializing on
what the French revolution would have been had
Mirabeau lived. He was a war chancellor The
empire was at best strong federation. 1t may be
questioned whether he would have been content with
that; whether in pressing the hegemony of his
beloved Prussia he would not have carried matters
so far as to bring Bavaria Wurtemburg, and Saxony
once more at loggerheads with him; or again
whether, in pursuit of his pan-Germanic ideals he
would not once more have swept Austria off her feet
and destroyed the last vestige of the Holy Roman
empire.
To William has come no such opportunity. He
has the name of War Lord. There are those who
believe that, were war to come it would find in him
new Napoleon. Certainly he would take try at
personal leadership 1t would be almost impossible
to imagine William II staying at home while fighting
was on, even consentng to take such a minor
military part his grandfather played in the con-
fct with France.
But, despite his turbulence, his war spirit his
mtarism, Germany has had a quarter century of
wise leadership. Her continued peace, and Europes,
has been in his hands. We talk of the threat to
peace conveyed in the present disturbance of the
balance of power by the Balkan states 1t is nothing
at all compared with that due to the emergence of
Germany from second-class power, still full of
internal jealouses, into the most powerful nation
on the Continent. 1t has attained pre-eminence,
despite all Europe could do; and not content with
pre-eminence at home, it has embarked on policy
of commercial colonization which Haunted the impo
tence of England and Russia to prevent in their
very faces.
No ruler without supreme courage could conduct
an empire through the entanglements such q deve-
opment predicates. Nor could any ruler do so with
out he possessed farsightedness, shrewdness, and
if not suaviy at least the kind of tact that most
counts. The struggle has been bitter, the outlook
black at times. Germany has not today a single real
friend But that makes only the more marvellous the
success Of the Kaiser in keeping his way without
war.
Other men have been born to the purple, had
the same heredty influences to help them become
statesmen, the same education for their work. The
difference between them and him measures the mans
individuality, and William has become the most
powerful political figure in the world. 49,.

THEY WILL REMAIN DEMOCRATS

Whether the Democratic Congress,
which is to convene in special session
on April Z, is to pass a free sugar bill
and place other products of Louisiana
on the free list or reduce the duties
thereon, the Democrats of that state
win remain Democrats, declared Gov.
Luther E. Hall, at the Willard.

swept down upon the cotton crop and
ravaged the fields with a loss of $3.50
000, 900. The farmers and the cotton
growers faced their loss with cour-

that visited the state caused damage
to the sugar crop to the extent of
Sl5,000,0 300 and then last year came
the overflow of the Mississippi, which
caused widespread damage. All these
caiamities have drawn upon the re-

have withstood their losses and risen
