The Kaiser and Ii. Bi,marek

II must have given the Kaiser a sort of shiver
along his spine when he pontihcated at the cristen-
ing of big ship in honor of the great chancellor whom
he so unceremonously brushed out of the field Of
human activity generation ago. If the ghost of
Bismarck watched the ceremony the occasion must
have aroused the old cynical contempt for the mo-
uves of men and the conventions of life Not merely
the emptiness of posthumous honors would be apt
TO stimulate his sardonic humor, but even more the
inexorable course of history which proves that not
the greatest spirit is indispensable and that lack of
genius or OF the opportunity for displaying it may
impair or diminish fortunate mans happiness in
his own august estimation OF his ego-New York

number of literary geniuses, members of the
Writers Club, of New York. have written open let
ters to the voters of Oklahoma ndorsing the candi-
dacy of AL J. Jennings the former train robber who
is running for governor of the new State. The let
ters read just like the other fiction of these authors
but, of course, they know more about Jennings and
oklahoma's requirements in the way of governor
than the people of Oklahoma do. The really strange
circumstance however, is that the name of Upton
Sinclair does not appear in the list of Jennings in
dorsers, though Lincoln Stefens contributes the
Illuminating opinion that Jennings is neither good
man nor a bad man.
