HISTORY BUILDERS.
The Politician Who Was
discharged Cured"
BY DIR. f. }. EDWARDS.


I first saw Marshall Jewell in 1858
Connecticut He was at that time a sin
! gularly handsome man. His stature wa.
above the average height and his ply
siqus was somewhat large, but he wa.
we'll proportioned. and every movement
that he made suggested both grace and
refinement What was particularly no
| ticeable, especially TO those who met him
for the first time. were the noble shape
and poise OF his head. the steadiness with
which he carried II upon his shoulders
! the peculiar silvery luster OF his abun-
dant hair. and also Of his mustache and
| imperial the delicate pink tint which
was in his cheeks and which was like
that Of young man. mis- sparkling blue
eyes. and the jewel-like glitter Of his
teeth.
1t was in no small measure due to his
attractive personality that he triumphed
in three of the campaigns which he made
! for governor OF Connecticut He some
times said that politics was thrust upon
him and that almost before he knew It
he had been taken from his leather fac
| tory and landed in the domain where
politics is supreme.
Jewell was unusually successful, so far
oS SElNAit III PROMINENT OLlCG WIS NoD-
cerned, and to a natural aptitude. not
only for political leadership in its broader
sense, but also for organization politics,
combined with his personal charm, he
owed his successes. He was not a stu
dent. He once said TO me that he read
very few books, for he had no time to
do that, but that he was fortunate
enough to be able to observe keenIy and
thoroughly. 50 that his great instruction
hOOk was the hOOk of life he II
daily.
As Jewell was first brought without any
special activity OF his own into political
life, so he afterwards received two con-
spcuous political honors without any
knowledge that they would come to him
until they were bestowed upon him. He
was astonished. when he learned that he
was TO he appointed Minister to Russia,
and he was still more astonished when he
was summoned to Washington by Presi-
dent Grant to take the appointment OF
Postmaster General After Jewell re-
tired to private life he was often urged
TO become a candidate for one or another
prominent public Office. That was espe-
Cially the case in 1880, but he always
firmly refused. When at last he was asked
why he disdained all further political
activity as an .officeholder he said: II
have been discharged cured"
He meant by that that he had seen
and experienced all that was worth while
in political life. and he had come to be-
lieve that much OF 1t was vanity and
vexation OF spirit His metaphor how
ever. was due to the fact that in his
home town OF Hartford there had been
established years ago an insane asylum
and he had vivid recollection OF the Joy
in some families when some one OF the
family who had been a patient in the
asylum was discharged cured"

Withdrawal From Vera Cnz

In the vacillation of the Wilson administration
regarding the withdrawal of our troops from Vera
Cruz new proof of the disastrous consequences
of our "Mexiean mpolicy" Twice it has been Off
cialy announced that Gen. Funston's forces were
to be brought home and day or two later has come
the confession that the President has changed his
mind. The only legitimate excuse for the presence
of our army in Mexico's chief port was either to
compel the salute to the flag, which was the alleged
purpose of their landing, to begin the pacfcation
of Mexico, which was and is the urgent duty of this
government. Having withdrawn the demand for the
salute and lacking the courage and wisdom TO re-
store order across the border the administration had
better withdraw the troops from Mexico and con-
fess what all the world knows that "watchfui wait

Bernard Shaw's False Cry,

The Battle of Dorking,"s which Bernard Shaw
cites an anticipation of of the recent effu-
sons of German military writers, was an appeal TO
Englishmen to put their country into state of
thorough defense. 1t not treatise on the moral
and spiritual advantages of war; was not an arpu-
ment for offensive operations, against red black
brown, and yellow men. II was not picture of a
world empire won by arms. Dorkng is an English
town. and the author of what at the time created a
great sensation described the ease with which Eng
land could be invaded and its army crushed on its
own soil, and the consequences of being overrun BY
a hostile army. Belgium has been.-P Philadelphis

grave, but the American people may be depended upon

Aspects Of Equality.
By JOHN d. BARRY.

I IS amusing at times when
p suffrage is under discussion
to notice how the opponents of
political equality try to exploit
the Deity. If they can only say
that God made women what they
are, and that women should stay
as they are, they feel they have
scored a fine point They don't
stop to consider that God has
had very little to do with the
placing of women in the position
they now occupy in the state. On
the contrary, the work has been

| In discussions OF the suffrage hear good deal
about biological differences" Here is one of those
fine phrases that always make an effect. They sound
learned But when you come to investigate the mean
ing of biological differences" as applied to women
We find that the speaker has only the fantest notion
of what II means.
Now is the time, it seems to me, for some
scientific investigator to hunt down the meaning of
the biological differences between men and women
In these differences we ought to find splendid field
for investigation We may discover that in the very
nature of there qualities that make women
inferior to men, incapable of meeting men on an
equal plane. On the other hand we may discover
that in the nature of there are qualities that
make the men inferior to women
And yet when the discoveries have all been pre-
sented to the world it is probable that they will con-
tain solution to this simple question: Are women
to be allowed to have equal share in the manage
ment of the society which, by their presence on
earth, they help to create and to recreate?
We speak as if the differences between women and
men were greater than the resemblances But far
beyond the importance of is the importance of
our common humanity, of the dependence of human
beings on one another regardless of sex, as mem
bers of organized society
little women have accomplished in the world in COM
parson with men. They make an impressive
argument So far as great public achievement is con-
cerned, the women certainly have done very little
But the marvel is that with the handicap imposed by
men, they have done anything In casting discredit
on the public work of women, masculine authority
has been particularly adroit
Mrs Gilman has shown how strongly our life has
been influenced by the preponderance of the power
of men, Our civilization is very largely masculine
civilization Its records are chiefly records of things
that men excel in and encourage
Is it not possible that as women break into the
field of work which we used to regard as largely
masculine, men will break into the field of work
which we regard largely feminine? There are
many educators who believe that the feminine influ-
fuence is too strong in the training of children.
There is doubt that under present conditions the
earlier years of the average child-the years when
the child is most sensitive-are the years when the
influences are almost exclusively feminine

many men dread in the play of politics. we uncon-
cernedly subject children.

state ought to be disciplined And there could hardly
be more reasonable way of eectng their discipline
than by suspending the right. By such deprivation

DEAD BEATS" HURT
CREDIT.

Recently in an adjoining town
the sheriff was offering the goods
and accounts Of a merchant for
what they would bring. The ac-
counts amounted to $500 and
were sold for less than $50. Why!
cause they were against that
class of people who never pay ali
honest debt nor expect to pay
one if they can help it. The
prime cause of this state OF at
fairs is the credit system. AS
the cancer is to humanity, so is
the credit system to the business
world. Politicians are quarrel-i
ing about protection and free
trade, but if the system of pay
as you 60 could be impressed
upon the people Of this country,
it would be vastly greater ben
eft than either. The credit sys-
TEN caters to the morbid desire
of a certain class Of people who
live beyond their means. 1t
gives them a chance to get ev-
erything they want; not what
they really want, but what they
think they want. Then there IS
class of people who lack mora
stamina. They never pay book
account, but may pay cash when
they can not get credit. These
human parasites are the cause OF
more real suffering than any
thing else under our COVER
lment. excluding whiskey. Tht
economy Of nature, perfect as II
is. lacks one thing-a pumping
off place for dead beats.-hS.
