Bismarck's Mystic Number.

Bismarck held, with Pythagoras. that
not 10, but 3. "a the great and per-
feet number. Bismarck's associations
with 3 were remarkable. He had serv-
ed three masters. He had three names

A Serio-Comic Scene Between Victor

A Serio-Comic Scene Between Victor
Hugo and the Two Dumases.
1t is perhaps only natural that Mr..
A. +. Davidson, the latest biographer Of
Victor Hugo, annoyed by the eXtrava-
CANT eulogies of the poet that his pred
ecessors had written. should lay a
good deal of stress on the great French
mans faults and failings. OF these the
chief was undoubtedly vanity. Victor
hugo was Unfortunately v%ain-vain at
one moment with Il superb assurance
that almost diGnitied vanity itself, at
another with an uneasy jealousy at

I did not in the first primary, but 1
did in the last race, and he knows 1t.
He has failed of being a good Till
mantle because he puts selfshness
above duty and the interests of the
people. No governor can run the
Office on the basis of being good to
his friends alone. 1 never did 1t,
that way. No great man ever does
1t, but he puts duty above all other
considerations, patriotism and love of
the state and its people next, and

consideration of himself to the wind.
If he shows that he has been con-
verted and makes due atonement, the
people may forgive him. But it is
not worth while for him to expect to
get to the senate, at least not next
year. He is not too old to come
hereafter, perhaps. However, he
must serve the people honestly and
loyalty, and convince them that he
is no longer playing for his own am

Is time for demagogy to take a back
seat and statesmanship to come to
the front. Above all, high private
character and unimpeachable integ-
rity Of purpose will govern in the
long run. President Wilson has set
everybody such a high example of
unselfish patriotism that it ought to
be easy for small politicians to be
picked out and retired--as they
ought to be.
