attended by larger crowd than had ever
visited the capital before, and the accom-
modations being poor, many slept on the
park benches. Jackson's personality was
one to excite curiosity, since in addition
to winning the battle Of New orleans and
fighting in many Indian wars, he had fought
several duels, threatened to hang everybody
who opposed him and broke several laws
which did not suit him. Like Jefferson.

1t must seem ironcal to him to read
that the capitalists of New York are per-
turbed by the too great influx of gold into
the country, when what he's worrying about
is why his wages are not going up while

This increasing of the necessities of life

is also true of all those who have some

combines to boost prices. As man probably

his characteristic of greed and his national
ideal and phiosnphy-the dollar
There can only be one remedy for 1t

There are a great many folk enthusiastic

English in this country; but this Is the
harsh candor of cousins. Much OF our
love OF the French is based on the fact
that we don't speak French and can't
read French newspapers. We have not
criticized the muddling in French politics
because we did not understand it. And,
on the other hand, much of our criticism
of the English has been fretting that the
English did not do better. News Of all the
great English victories has been received
with satisfaction here, even among those
who often talk antiBritlsh." Now that

spirit OF the twelfth century which saw
the first sanctioned observance of Ash
