Moving Pictures of Sulzer.

The announcement extraordinary that
the Hon. William Sulzer is to appear in the
movies" for the purpose OF showing how cruelty
he was impcached in New York State, and for
the extra purpose OF completing his vindicaton.
Just how Mr. Sulzcr is going to perform this feat
is apparent, as the Edison talking picture
machine has not yet reached perfection, and any
play that prohibits Sulzer from talking while he
is pretending to act would be blank failure.
There must be something in it, however, the
managers OF moving picture shows not likely to
throw away valuable time, even when Mr.. William
Sulzer is the star performer. 1t will be recalled,
that when the famous trial of infamy in
Albany, the lawyers in the case succeeded in
keeping Mr.. Sulzer quiet for few hours, and
these were the most trying hours for the de-
PENDANT Here is the dramatic climax Of the
whole affair, in which Prometheus may be shown
gagged and bound, as the court of infamy places
on record the alleged ncfarous dealings of the
said William with those disinterestcd characters,
who love to hover around Wall Street, and who
may have had some feelings OF sorrow for his
ovcrburdcncd soul. We have no doubt, that the
masters at Albany might allow William the use
OF the legislative halls for the proper scenic
effect, then the affair, unique in the history of
the Empire State, would be true picture for
future generations.
1t is not easy to understand how it is going to
he possible, even with the ingenuity developed in
d irst-class moving picture machine, to show
$4,000 worth of campaign subscriptions so that
they will appear only $1,000 worth, unless it
be that scheme of Wall Street arith-
metc is to be put in force. 1t taxes the magma
ton up to the limit to venture even a guess as
to the part Pauline Hall is to have in this his
toric scenario. She is only actress; William
and his tribe the real things, and what's the
Use OF getting substitutes when the real stuff is
at hand. However, sweet Pauline may be there
to read in tragic agony the letter which opened
up the heart OF the statesman and the poet with
the sad but cudearing lines o! Polly DEAR

Intentionally. And in that note the frequent init
nation was contained that it was Germany's in
tention to continue relentlessly the method oil
warfare of which the Orduna and her passengers
were SO nearly the victims
The incident has scarcely intensified the diplo-
matte crisis between the two nations, because
there was nothing in Germany's note to lead
President Wilson and his advisers to believe that
her submarines would refrain from attacking with
out warning the first merchantmen that offered a
target with the purpose and intent of killing every
one on board regardless of nationality Lives of
Americans on the high seas are in hourly peril.
Germany has informed us that their safety may be
secured only by sailing under conditions laid down
by Germany. President Wilson will return to
Washington today to prepare the answer of the
United States to this unique mandate from a
foreign power. The Orduna attack was not neces-
sary to convince him that Germany meant what
she said.

Germany Confirms Her Note.

The slightest miscalculation by German SUBJ
marine and the alertncss, nerve and sea-
mansfip of the captain and men of the Cunard
Line steamer Orduna averted another massacre OF
ncncombatapts, including Americans, on the high
seas. Tomorrow an attack by torpedo and guns
under similar circumstances may shock civiiza-
ton with horror and bring the United
States and Germany to the brink of war. 1t is
well to realize now what the near future may
hold for
There will be no surprise at the attempt with
out warning to sink the Orduna and murder
every ono on board except to those who unreason-
ingly concluded that while negotiations between
Berlin and Washington were pending Germany had
temporarily suspended the savage mode of war
fare against which President Wilson so earnestly
protested Such conclusion was without the least
justification. Berlin, in the terms of its last note,
practically ended negotiations with Washington,
and there L no reason to dopbt that Il was done

No more picturesque personality. at

generation or those who are survivors
| OF the earlier, ever came to Washington
as Cabinet officer than was Richard
Wilmington Thompson, whom President
Hayes selected in 1877 for the portfolio
of Secretary OF the Navy. The selection
itself was due to some rather unpleasant
experiences. although in these Mt
Thompson himself did not share. Hayes
| was urged to make appointment Of Will
lam p. Frye. OF Maine. as Secretary OF
the Navy, but he could not see his way
clear to make selection OF that kind.
| The suspicion at that time prevailed and
has never ended that the refusal Of Pres
ident Hayes to accept the recommends
ton of James G. Blaine respecting the
appointment Of Secretary OF the Navy
was one of the causes, If not the only
one for the considerable estrangement
which characterized the relations of Mr..
Blaine to President Hayes.
There was no Cabinet seceltion which
gave President Hayes greater concern
than that OF Secretary of the Navy. I'm
mediately after he was declared by Con-
gress TO have been elected President by
one electoral vote he fixed upon William
NJ Everts for Secretary Of State. John
Sherman for Secretary OF the Treasury,
and Carl Schurz for. Secretary of the In
terror and, having made choice of these
men. II was necessary for him to build
up his Cabinet around them. At last he
sent a communication to Indiana which
greatly astonished Richard W. Thomp-
son, for It contained a request that Mr..
Thompson join the Cabinet as Secretary
Of the Navy. At that time Mr.. Thomp-
son was IS years OF age. Nearly forty
years before he became a member of
Congress and later was a fellow-mem-
her with Abraham Lincoln of the House
OF Representatives.
When the announcement was made
that Richard w. Thompson was to be
Secretary OF the Navy almost everyone
wo did not live in Indiana asked VINO
he was. His Indiana friends spoke of
him as having been very able cam
paigner years before. and 1t was some
times said o. him that he was the great

zen of Indiana. After he became Sec
rotary of the Navy his quaint, entirely

good, common sense. and a physical, as
well as mental. activity not commonly
expected from a man of his years, as
well as the fact that he had been of a
sudden brought Of the past into renewed

GORGE III had too small a mind
IL to rule an empire. and the fifteen
~ years of his personal supremacy
| in affairs Q7ss-17S0 were years which
bred a revolution in England no less in
evitably than in America.
His stubborn instinct of mastery made
him dub the colonists rebels" upon their
first show of resistance: he deemed the
repeal OF the Stamp act fatal step of
weak compliance. which had only in
creased the pretensions OF the Ameri-
cans to absolute independence" Chat
ham he called a trumpet of sedition"
because he praised the colonists for their
spirited assertion of their rights.
The nature Of the man was not sinister.
Neither he nor his ministers had any
purpose OF making Slaves Of the col
onistS.
Their measures Tor tho regulation OF
the colonial trade were incontestably
conceived upon a model long ago made
familiar in practice, and followed prece-
dents long ago accepted in the colonies.
Their financial measures were moderate
and sensible enough in themselves. and
were conceived in the ordinary temper
OF law-making.
What they did not understand or allow
for was American opinion.
What the Americans. on their part, did
not understand or allO" Tor was tne
spirit in which Parliament had in fact
acted.
They did not dream with how little
comment or reckoning upon conse-
quences, or how absolutely without any
conscious theory as to power or author
ity. such statutes as those which had
angered them had been passed; how
members OF the commons started at Mr..
Burke's passionate protests and high
pitched arguments of constitutional priv
ilege: how unaffectedly astonished they
were at the rebellious outbreak which
followed in the colonies.

Summing Up the Case.

The Germans began this argument bv care
fully planning an act which resulted in the death
of over 100 inoffensive American citizens The
exploit has been treated as a justifable act of
war, which Americans have no right to resent.
and the repetition sof which can be avoided only
through the surrender by the United States of
certain rights enjoyed by American citizens under
international law. The American government
cannot and will not abandon these rights, not
merely because they are part OF an accepted sys-
the barbarous way in which they have been ehal-
lenged. Back of the American attitude is a deep
sense OF grievance, which the Germans entirely
ignore. Back OF the German attitude is a con-
victon of the righteousness of all the acts help

which Americans will not submit-The New Re-

thought the disturbances at Boston a
tempest in a teapot. the reiterated pro-
rests of the colonial assemblies a pretty
piece of much ado about nothing
The radical trouble was that the Par
Lament really represented nobody but
the King and his friends" and was both
ignorant and unrefiective upon the larger
matters 1t dealt with.
1t was the more certain that the prom

stitutional reform which the supporters
of the government IN America so freely
and earnestly made would be falsified'
and that evaporation would follow ex-

The loyal partisans of the crown in the
colonies understood as little as did the
radical patriotic party the real attitude
and disposition Of the King and his min
listers. The men with whom they were
dealing over sea had not conceived and
could not conceive the American point OF
view with regard to the matters in dis
pute.
They did not know whereof Mr.. Burke
spoke when he told them that the colo
NAL assemblies had been suffered to
grow into a virtual ndependence of Par

ask or expect the colonists to accept any
other view of the law than that which
accorded with Congratulated fact
Mr.. Burke admitted that his theory
was not a theory for the strict lawyer:
it WAS a theory for statesmen. for whom
fact must often take precedence Of law.
But the men he addressed were strict
legists and not statesmen.
There could be no understanding be-
tween the two sides Of the water; and
the loyalists who counselled submission,

Habit.

among psychologists that the chapter on
Habit" in the Psychology" of William James
is one of the finest studies of the subject ever

most philosophers, that chapter is by no means
easy reading. Those who work over it, how
