England's Virgin Queen
as Frenchman Saw Her

In November, 1897, an ambassador
extraordinary from Henry Nv OF
France to Elizabeth Of England was
put ashore at Dover. OF his inter-
views with the queen, her appearance,
her clothes, her demeanor, what she
said, he gives the fullest account.
This is his pen portrait:
"She was strangely attired in a dress
Of silver cloth, white and crimson, or
silver gauze as they call it. This
dress had slashed sleeves lined with
red taffeta, and was girt about with
other little sleeves that hung down to
the ground, which she was forever
twisting and untwisting. She kept the
front Of her dress open, so that one
could see the whole Of her bosom.
. AS for her face, it is and APP
pears to be very aged. 1t is long and
thin, and her teeth are very yellow
and unequal, compared to what they
were formerly, SO they say, and on
the left side less than on the right.
Many Of them are missing, so that one
cannot understand her easily when she
speaks quickly. Her figure is fair and
tall and graceful in whatever she does;
so far as may be she keeps her dig
nifty, yet humbly and graciouslyI
withal" -

Poetic Justice

"Arabs dearly love what we call
poetic justice" said Lowell Thomas,
the writer-lecturer. "They tell the
story of an Arab who stole a horse
and sent his son to market to sell it.
On the way to market the son was
himself robbed Of the horse and
forced to return to his father empty

".Ahv exclaimed the old man when
his son walked into camp. II see

taken quite casually into London

II. Chase Meredith, thought that If
they brought $1,000 each he would be
fortunate. One Of them, however,
which had been In the old abbey OF

The Presidential Year Slump Tradition
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

There Is a long-standing tradition in
America that business must be depress-
ed in presidential years. 1t is explain
ed that uncertainty as TO who the rulers
Of the country will be and therefore
what the administrative policies infiu-
encing business will be causes men OF
affairs to stay their activities until the
issue Is decided. New enterprises are
postponed until after election and old
activities are diminished out of caution.
That this Is an old tradition. outworn
and obsolete, there is an accumulation
OF evidence to prove. The National Bu-
reau Of Economic Research has made
patient study of business conditions
from the foundation OF the Govern
ment and has learned that since 1870
the United States has enjoyed a frac-
ton more than three years OF prosperi-
ty for every two years of business hesi-
fancy or depression.
II one takes separately the last half
century. 1t Is seen that the prosperous
years make still better showing Since
about 1904 the reasons which impelled
many business men TO go warily in
presidential years have been largely
dissipated through revolution in DO
litical alignments and issues. Actually.
in the last so years there have been
seven presidential years of outright
prosperity, three In which some recess
sion has been noted, two IN which
mild depression has been experienced
and only four presidential years In
which there has been outright depres-
sion. This shows an average well above
the line In favor of prosperous election
years. Growing the experience may
be cited the last presidential year, when
President Hoover was elected in the
midst Of carnival Of prosperity the
like Of which never before had been
witnessed
The prime reason why presidential
years have ceased to have a Oppressive
effect upon business is that the irsues
Of the elections no longer are tied up
with fundamental economic po,icies.
The tariff was the bone Of contention
which long kept business on tenter-
hooks every fourth year The manufac-
turing North. Republican In sympathies.
favored a high protective tariff The
South, Democratic then to the core, had
few manufactures to protect, but great
surplus OF cotton and other agricultural
produce. Southern Democrats wanted
to be able to import cheap farm imple-
ments and other manufactured goods
which did not compete with them.
Sectional Attitudes Change.
The Democratic party first won its
foothold in the North in the cities and,
as the cities grew, the total national
Democratic vote made up Of the sold
South and the Northern cities offered
very real threat to the Republican
manufacturers. A Democratic victory
meant tariff reduction, to be followed
by flood of foreign goods made by
cheap labor and then the closing Of
Northern factories, the laying off of
workmen and hard times. This did not
concern the solid South. They bought
cheaply and continued to sell their cot
ton to England
Latterly, as the South began TO attract
Northern manufacturing Industries, a

THINGS ESSENTIAL
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D, IL. D.
Bishop OF Washington

cupies in determining the destiny OF
our individual and corporate life. 1t is
inevitably true that the character OF
a people is made in the homes OF the
nation. Subject as we are to the laws
and conventions imposed upon us, we
need to remember that the influences
that really make us what we are pro-
oeed from the fireslde. II was wisely
observed by some one that We receive
our religious impulses largely from the
mother and our political preferences
and our occupational bents from the
father. This may be a happy division
of responsibility. Anything and every
thing that tends TO impair the home
influence Is menace TO our stability
and security. The more we study the
lives of the good and the great, the
more convinced we are that early
and home discipline are the
mightiest contributing factors In the
OF character and the deter
mining OF life's largest efficiency.
Talking recently with one Of the out
standing leaders Of Our generation, who
had attained proud distinction, he VEN
tured the observation that all that he
was was wholly due TO the influences
that proceeded from an early and very
humble home. And he added that the
mother influence excelled all other in
fiuences that had played about his
eventful life. He reminded us Of the
old adage: mo man Is ever greater
than his mother" 1t has been repeat
edly demonstrated in the life Of ma
tions that their strength resides In the
and simplicity OF their
domestic life.
While we are attempting to set our
house in order In time where
fresh evaluations are being made, we
do we'll to give heed to the place Of that
which ultimately determines our happi-
ness and our prosperity. We do well
to SO safeguard the interests of the
home, to so exalt the glory and high
distinction of the mother that these
elements shall not be i'm
paired or in any wise confused with the
less important interests and concerns of
life. To no loftier place may a woman
aspire than that of being "a handmade

labor cotton mills were established in
the Carolinas. The Northern furniture
industry began to move South. Louis
lana sugar, Georgia naval stores, Bir-
mingham steel, began to feel the need OF
tariff protection. Meantime, some Of
the Northern industries had become so
solidly intrenched that they no longer
needed protection. The story changed
and about as many protectionists ap-
peared in Southern as in Northern dele
cations Democratic Presidents could
not upset the apple carts Of their
Southern constituents by taking of the
tariff. The tariff ceased. therefore, to
be a presidential issue and became q
local one.
In much the same way the old Demo-
cratic party was a free silver party, the
Republicans holding firm for the gold
standard. In many presidential cam
paigns this was prime issue. A flood
ing Of the country with so unstable q
metal as silver as a currency basis
would be a blow to business, in the
opinion of most Republicans; so a
presidential year which threatened such
an event was a serious matter Busi-
ness took alarm and waited the event
in cautious reticence. This, too, ceased
to be an issue. Democrats, indeed, we're
responsible for the gold-based Federal
Reserve System, the measure being one
OF the proudest achievements of Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson.
Elections Do Not Affect Business.
Traditions die hard and in spite of
the fact that these two major unset
ting factors in the political situation
had settled themselves in the course Of
time and experience, thousands of
business men continued to talk, II not
TO act, on the old theme of depression
in presidential years. The facts do not
bear them out and there is today Moth
ing in the forthcoming election CAL
culated to have any effect upon busi-
ness
Whichever party wins the election
will be confronted by a condition in
which the entire world finds itself, one
Of low prices, unemployment, slackened
business activity. No President or party
brought about the situation and, it now
is understood, no President or party
can end 1t. Business is dull on the
Malay Peninsula and no one claims the
President is to be blamed for that
Business is dull in Spain, in Siam and
in South America, but no President Is
responsible. BY the same token, no
President can restore prosperity single
handed So the condition of the times
should not be affected by the approach
Of an election.
There is no division of opinion In
this years presidential canvass. The
Republicans control the White House
and the Democrats control the House
of Representatives. The Senate is so
nearly divided that it balances on a
knife edge between the two parties.
Each party is demanding Just one
thing prosperity. There is some diff
ference of opinion as to how 1t should
be produced, but the difference is not
any more between the two major
parties than between members of each
party. The election will decide no
economic issue, no matter which way
1t goes. There is no cause for making
this presidential year one Of depression.
