should contribute to his success in Petrograd.
In personal appearance and manner Francis
is somewhat like this, namely: a tall broad
shouldered, athletic and well-dressed man,
with strong, fine face of regular features,
keen, merry blue eyes, reddish brown mus
tache. like the reddish brown hair on the top
of his well-shaped head. He shakes hands
as if he were glad to see you and talks inter-
estingly. He is a very good speaker, espe-
cially after dinner, and Is fond of giving and
attending dinners. He never forgets a name
or a face, and can usually remember some
thing more even about chance acquaintance.
One other fact should be noted in this con-
nection. He doesn't put airs over his
ancestors or his business and political
successes.
According to Napoleon, the secret of con-
quest is to have a larger force than your
opponent at the point of conflict. Men with
large intellectual forces may be slow In bring
ing them into action. Not so with Francis.
His mental equipment, which is of no mean
order. is always in shape for exercise and
always on the spot when it is wanted. Before
he organized and presided over the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition he was distinguished
man, a chief among Chiefs master Of af-
fairs, a savant in the greatest of all sciences,
knowledge of folks.

Created a Worlds Fair

st. Louis turned Immediately to Francis
when 1t was decided to hold a worlds fair.
Upon him was laid the task of creating and
guiding the great exposition. So prodigious
was his expenditure of energy in the three
years of his work this mighty and magnifi-
cent enterprise that his friends feared at first
that it would kill him. But every morning he
turned up with bright eye and ruddy cheek
and ready smile. as eager for the days run as
a Kentucky colt. Consulting with heads of
departments. debating letters every imag-
Unable subject, determining questions of policy
and deciding problems of financial magnitude,
receiving distinguished officials and deputa-
tions dedicating sites. opening buildings well
coming conventions and eongresses-he led a
busy life. But as always, he went at his work
with that spontaneity of spirit which defies
fatigue. His purpose in the undertaking was
not to be measured by foot rule He saw in
the enterprise the promotion of taste in art
and OF higher civic ideals throughout a vast
section of the country; the promotion also ot
mutual respect and fraternal feeling among
the nations of the earth. This conception of
a worlds fair is the true one, despite the mis-
behavior OF men and nations in the years that
come and 60
He is as pleasant and persuasive as he Is
able and firm Admirable is Francis as a host
in his own home but he shone as brilliantly
as host OF the many distinguished guests OF
the exposition. After the fair he went TO
Europe, and there he was entertained in re-
turn. His welcome was such as few Ameri-
cans have ever received In their travels on the
other side of the water Years OF practice
have made him one OF the most accomplished
after-dinner speakers IN the country. A man
OF striking figure magnetic manner and com
pelling personality, he Is well Informed. ready

ArmOr-PIate Arrogance

but there is no denial Of the fact that
they are coming money out Of blood
and hatred The hands that they
now raise menacingly against a nation
by whose neutrality they have prof
tied are filled with the gains of a
business that ignores the moralltles
and is content to stand upon the
strict letter Of the law.
These are the men who have
complicated the question of national
defense by their gluttonous attempt
to bend the whole movement in their
own selfish interest with pockets
stuffed as a result Of the agony OF
Europe, they have sought to make OF
the necessity for reasonable defense
at home an opportunity to Oppress
people at peace. They want govern
ment to protect them, their property
and their trade They even expect
government to go to war in their be-
half. Yet a suggestion of independ-
ence on the part of that government
is met by the terrorism Of monopolis-
tic prices today and Of dismantled
plants tomorrow"
The manufacture or not only armor
plate but Of all munitions Of war in
government plants will do more than
anything else to muzzIe the vicious
agitators who cry for the profits to
be made therefrom To take the
profits out Of warfare is the surest
way to prepare for a lasting peace.

There was no reason to anticipate
quiet acquiescence in the proposition
to establish government armor-
plate plant In the minds Of the
great manufacturers such a suggestion
was nothing less than revolutionary.
Private interests had always had the
government by the throat; had always
charged the United States close to
twice as much as they were willing
to accept from foreign purchasers Of
their product; had always had full
control at Washington, and they could
not understand why they should be
expected to let go their strangleho
But the boldness Of their threat to
raise the price 5000 a ton If the gov
ernment attempted to build a plant Of
its own was an eye-opener to those
who had paid no attention to the de-
velopment Of the enormous combina-
tiOns in this and kindred lines. and
who have treated all exposures Of
their methods as merely sensational
Undertaking" The present attempt
to keep Brandeis off the supreme

Ienge Of the armor plate trust by

was a vigorous and proper method Of
dealing with the situation.
Senator Tillman does not agree

president that we should have the
greatest navy In the world" but he
believes we should have the second
