C. j 4 The man who complains without a ecu sc will probably soon have cause to complain. The man Ui strong who conquers himself, but he who allows vicious habile to control him is a weakling, j Calling black things wh'te doe& not make them so, neither does the' use of soft terms to describe wlck .edness make it less objectionable. The new taxes In England on un improved land are making a num ber of wealthy landowners dispose of their estates In snrall allotments to farmers and laborers. That will he a good thing all round. A. Yale professor thinks that this, nation will became a mouarchy *.n the u?.ir future. So far as can be learned no one else thinks or wishas it unless It Lj title hunters and th? idle rich who ape royalty. But they do not count. Some one has asked the question, Why are there bad boys? Among tho many answers that might be giv en the old time theologian would probably say that It Is due to in herited sin. But probably unwise or bad training by ihe parents Is the ? reason that most people will assign. ; Those who In this country fear that socialists. If they should gain power, which is not likely, would . create anarchy, may take comfort from present conditions in France. The premier, M. Briand,' is a social ist, but he rules with strong hand and his dealing with the .recent wide spread strike was masterful. ' -Mr. Bryan has been speaking in Indiana to tremendous outpourings of the people, to greater crowds than greeted Roosevelt and Beveridgc. The Nebraskan will probably never become president, but the fact that he has retained so much popularity through three defeats establishes his b?ldrttT>oii the masses of the Ameri can people. Notwithstanding many federal and state suits the corporation like the Standard Ott, Steel, and other con cerns go right merrily on enlarging their business and acquiring vast do mains for exploitation. But still "it ts a long lane that has no turning, and that is a fact which some cor poration officials would do well to keep In mind. It seems that Roosevelt Is now in such bad repute that none of the Republican candidates outside of Now York want him to speak for them. His speech in Indiana did Berevidge considerable harm, and hl3 speech at Boston for Lodge has made Massaekusects a doubtful State. He was to speak in Connecticut, but the Republicans want him to cancel tho engagement. Sometimes' political differences are allowed to affect personal friendships which no one would think of per mitting to be inturrupted by differ ences on other questions. Fortun ately the same sensible view Is now bejlng 'Increasingly followed as to political differences as people real ise that men belonging to other po litical pUrtlea are just as sincere as themselves and have just as much right to their convictions. You can do but little with the man -who despairs. Every doctor knows that it is well nigh impossi ble to save a patient who has made up bis mind he is going to die. But on the other httnd the man possess ed of strength of will and of a sun ny disposition can generally be sav ed from even the very jaws of death. So in business It Is the resolute, cheerful, never-glve-up man that tides over difficulties, surmounts ob stacles and wins success. Last year the Italian gov-ruuient netted $9.000.000 from its lotteries, but it cost the Italian people some thing like $1G.:"00.000 to contribute it. As a matter of political econ omy that is a bad showing and ac counts In & large meisure for the -poverty of the country. And In its morally demoralizing effect it is ev en worse, for whether on Wall street, ?or in the gold brick and other gel rlcfa-quick schemes, or in lotteries this gambling propensity by which a man wants to get somethiug for nothing Jfl a curse. Poj>o wrote. f'For forms of gov ernment let fools contest; whate'er Is best administered is best." Chang ing forms of government will not better conditions unless honesty, fair deallug and patriotism take the place of the o-d abuses. As is only too evident political corruption can ex ist in a,r<5pdbHe. H3 under a monar chy. Whatever the form the ulti mate remedy rests with the people. They have the power, all that ?s needed (a to use that power wisely that rulers and representatives may act righteously. I What Will the Future Bring. I Now that .the first excitement of the revolution in Portugal has pass ! ed away it Is easier to sum up the immediate results and make some j forecasts for the coming years. That ! the revolution Is an immediate suc cess and that it wus attained with -so , little bloodshed In unquestioned, and it <goea to prove-that the. abuses in hi governmental circles and in oth er ways must have been as bad as they were deep-rooted- So far the leaders have been remarkably mod erate in their action and that, so far as it goes, augues well for the future. The only, disturbing ele ment so far is two regiments of sol diers, who threaten to bring on an-J other revolution' if they are not granted certain privileges, which they claim as a reward for helping to carry out the revolution. This makes many believe that a counter revolution will soon follow, others! that after a few years the people I will again turn to the monarchy and I recall Manuel. On the other hand, others believe J that as in France, the republic has come to stay. It is pointed out that when France declared a republic in 1870 nearly everyone thought that In a year or two the Bourbons or the Bon'apartes would proclaim a monarchy, but the republic has last ed forty years and seems more thor oughly entrenched than ever. So, too, Brazil, close kin to Portugal, has been a republic for twenty-one years ! and it has been a success. Also it must be remembered that the ex ample of this country must be of great Influence upon Portugal as up on other old world countries. Any I way it is too soon to speak with assurance of the future of Portu gal, yet the signs point to a con tinuance of the republic. Roosevelt's Falsehoods. Roosevelt seems to have very lit tle regard for the truth, and does not hesitate to tell a falsehood if he thinks it will injure an opponent. Has recenly made certain charg?s against John A. Dix, the Democratic candidate for governor of New York, which was disproved by documentary evidence. Dix then called on Roose velt for an apology. Instead of apol ogizing, as any gentleman would do when he is shown that be was in errqr, Roosevelt repeated his slander several places where he spoke. Then Dix denounced Roosevelt as a falsi fier in the following language: "I asked this man last week for the apology which one man owes an other for even Involuntary misrep-' resentation. His answer has been to repeat, and I now charge, wilfully and knowingly to repeat in as many places and to as mauy people as his voice would carry, the statements which I now publicly brand as false hoods. I withdraw my request for an apcdogy and I say w.th all the emphasis at-my command that a man who has been President of the Unit ed States, who would do the things which he has done during this cam paign, merits only the pity of decent men." This is certainly a sad spectacle. No man who has ever occupied the Presidential chair of this great coun try has ever openly and defiantly vio lated all the amenities of life as Roosevelt has done, or put himself in a position to be called a liar and have It proved on him by slandering better men than he Is. If Roosevelt has no respect for his own good name he should have some respect for the high office he held and the people who put him in it. Roosevelt Challenged. On last Monday morning the New York World received the following letter from Mr. George H. Earle, Jr. of Phllidelphia, who, while Receiver for the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company, appealed in vain to Pres ident Roosevelt to take action against the Sugar Trust for wreck ing the Philadelphia company and who forced the trust In a civil suit to admit its violation of the law. To the Editor of the World: If Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Stim son really think that their course in the Sugar Trust matter will bear discussion, you are author ized by me to say that if an audience can be procured which will listen I will make my -crit icisms in public for half an hour give each of them half an hour to reply and close with another thirty minutes to answer their ar guments, it being understood that before the debate each of us will, specifically and In writing, answer ten questions in writing that the other side may put as to the con duct of each In tKis matter. 1- George. H. Earle, Jr. The World offered to provide, fre2 of cost to either party, meetin? quar ters at Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden, as the parties may elect. It also guaranteed an audi ence aad a full and fair report. But( Teddy declined to meet Mr. Earle, I as he knew his connections with the Sugar Trust financially would have been shown up. Treat All Alike. The efforts being made to secure the pardon of two or three notorious bank wreckers is ill timed Just now, when attempts are being made to reach and punish men who are "higher up" is not the time to lib erate tho one or two men of that character who have been caught and who are suffering the penalty of th^i misdeeds. No one believes hi Vin dictive punishment, but all ought j to believe In justice and a soft-heart J ed mercy to criminals is injustice to [the innocent who suffer because r.t j their criminality. The plea that .these criminals are in poor health j and that their families should b> j considered is worn threadbare. Sick I rich criminals. Tor whose re?ease pe Itttions were circulated, have beeu j known to be strong enough to knock (down and all most kill wardens. And as for considerations of fam ilies It is just as well that the fam ilies of the victims of business dis honesty should be considered. Let the rich crook who wrecked a bank have at least the same treatment the poor crook that burglarized a store. CLASSIFIED COllllB Oae-half Oeat a Word FohwS Notices Pres.
