KIPIING'S POPULARITY.

of Great Britain. Rudyard Kipling is the poet
who for reasons best known to the British gov

on two occasions. Alfred Austin and DR.. Bridges
the latter of which would be deserving of the
honor. a comparison with the man who
did not receive It, not forced upon him, are
known chiefly because they were named poet
laureates, while Kipling gains fame from the
fact that he was not Kipling. however Is known
all over the world and his books are sold by
thousands and tens Of thousands where the
laureates are unknown.
The sale OF Kfpling's work have increased
year by year, the sales being confined to no few
countries, but increasing yearly in all parts of
the world. Among the languages into which
his books have been translated are French, Ger
man. Italian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish and
the various dialects of India. His books sell
more than the works of any living author
An idea of the growth of Kipling's popularity
may he gained from the fact that his From
Sea to Sea" had twenty times as many sales In
1912 as in 1903 His stories have shown in
creased sales as phenomenal and the little poem

AMBASSADOR WILSON,

Many people will sympathize with Henry Lane
Wilson in his desire to set himself Alright with
the country and the world by denying the allie
cations against him contained in a reported
statement by the British foreign Office but such
sympathy will be neither widespread nor deep.
Wilson Is the United States ambassador to Mex
ico with which country the United States is
having It's usual trouble. The state department
and the foreign departments of the world are
bending their greatest efforts toward solving the
problem which presses for solution as never
before. and the last man on earth who should
embarrass this government Ia its ambassador
An ambassador is a special representative of a
nation, and what he says is taken as the ex.
preston Of his government Accordingly when
Mr. Wilson made statements rejecting upon the
British foreign ONCE. the United States depart
ment of state could do nothing less than to re-
pudiate them publicly.
Henry Lane Wilson, whatever else he may be.
Is loo falkatiye and too indiscreet for his own
or his country's good. AS a lawyer he may be
a success, and the best day for him and the
state department will be when he resumes its
practice.

bitter fighting enemy, nothing would have been

from being governor of New York should sulzer
be convicted. though 1t will tend to mitigate
the censure to which Sulzer is exposed That
the discovery OF mans msdeeds should be
brought about by his own efforts to do right
and to serve the people will not be forgotten
by the people, but this is the personal side of
the question and does not affect the situation
IN New York. 1t does not alter the fact that
Tammany Hall. which had been fighting for the
control Of the State will win by the downfall
Of Sulzer and that by removing him from office
1t will have removed the only obstacle in it's
way.
sulzer may have done everything with which
the immaculate Charles Murphy charges him. but
he is better than the hypocrites who have i'm
peached him. He may deserve his fate but
that does not help New York. He stood be-
tween the Tiger and the public treasury, what
ever his own sins, and it is for this that he is
now given over to trial.
If Sulzer be removed. he will be removed
because he did right and not because he did
Tammany Hall and not in the interest of New
York. and when Sulzer loses the people OF
the State lose and Tammany wins
