 It appears to be the concensus of opinion among the commercial men that it is very hard to do business with the average European official.

Vest Pocket Essays

POLITICS

O-i iSS
 The world has long been in doubt, but there should be no question, as to whether politics is or are sin gular Every one will admit that politics is ula1-extremely so.
 Politics is the art of carrying a large number of votes in the vest pocket and of straddling fences, hunting holes. turning back sOmer- saults and jumping onto band-wagons without spilling any of them. There are politicians so expert that they can te caught robbing hen roosts and can be elected states attorney on the strength of it; there are men who are such poor politicians that they would be defeated for dog catcher for rescuing a young lady from a burning house without the formality of an introduction.
 Politicians are born, not made. If politicians were made. the act would have become a penitentiary offense long ago. The politician believes tie people should rule, but that it is 2 shame to poster them with the job He believes that the office should seek the men, and he lies down in front of it and trips it up so as to make the job easier. He believes that the majority is supreme and he has 1S9 formulas for making maiori~ ties that are just as good as the kind you get in the ballot box.
 The world had politicians long be- fore it had chicken pox, influenza, grassAoppers. poets trusts, book agents, wars, legislatures or other afflictions. Noah was the first great politician. He got all his family in out of the rain. Joseph worked the stock scare on the Egyptians. sam son ,slew ten thousand Philistines with the iawbOne of an ass. while the best that can be done with it today is to tie up a legislature at the last minute with nine-hour speech
 There are all kinds of politicians. Some are so honest that their right hands would be shocked to death if they knew what their left hands were doing Others are so crooked that they could wear a brass horn for vest. Statesmen are politicians who love their country in words of six syllables Grafters arc politicians with steely fingers. Reformers are people who would like to play poli- tics without catching it.
 
 The people" are to a politician what circulation is to an editor He has to have them or go out of busi- ness. A political party is a politicians union. Party issues are the patent medicines of politics. They will cure anything. A campaign is some thing that the politician gives to the voter to keep him busy and happy until election. An election is a frightful display of corruption and unscrupulOcity by the other side.
 Politicians work twenty Hive hours a day and live on hope, campaign cigars and party fervor. When a good politician dies he gets a libel ous statue in Washington. When a rad one dies, St. Peter locks his gates and puts Plaster of Paris in the keyhOle.

Lord Miners Proposition

Lord Milner, whose recommendation for an abandonment of the campaign against the Dar- darelles rather for an evacuation by the allies of GallipoH which would probably mean the same thing has created a storm in the allied coun- tries is a less persistent fighter than he in 1912, when he a member of a small group of the house of lords. resisting in the last ditch movement to deprive the lords of the veto power While many of the peers reluctantly convinced that they longer free agents" and were giving way before the threat create new peers Milner was one of the leaders of Lord Halsworthys Die Hard" to dare. the throne to the creation of peers
 Now he is the first advocate an abandon ment of campaign amounting to a confession of the most colossal military mistake that was ever committed since first to war It must have taken small measure of courage on the part of Lord Milner submit a proposi- ton to his countrymen-to leave the thousands of dead whose bones bleaching peninsula or in the adjacent waters, and to lost the dead and the months of furious struggle by sea and land.
 There is. however business as well as senti- ment in war.

 If the Teutons are to be arrested in the at all, it must be done before they have over-run Serbia. With Serbia conquered and junction fected with the Bulgarian armies, only would the campaign against the Dardanelles be auto natcaly ended. but the way from Berlin Bag dad' would be opened.
