FTER all, the world needn’t doubt ite own progrese, when a great and powerful nation finds itself for the second time in a generation on the point of marvhalling its forces, sea and Yana, without a thought of conquest, without coveting an inch of for- cign territory, without expecting a dollars worth of advantage, with- out wishing the country against which it proceeds anything but speedy restoration to political health and independence. However prompt, forceful and complete the programme which notional eelf-respect may demand, my oe and the President can see to it that this country’s action bears Yrom first to last the etamp of “disinterest and honor. Make it clear to the world and to ourselves that all we ask now @ government we can trust and treat with rather than a peeudo-power which we can only suspect and contemn. Lat Congress and the President write this declaration large upon all that they propose and they will have the nation solidly with them. Moreover, the whole civilized world will think the better of itself * fer such an erample of national integrity and unselfishness as it is © pew the privilege of this country to supply. “ Mm tp oo ‘The nation trusts the President.

VERDICT of guilty in the case of four contractors and two enginedrs charged with defrauding the Stale in building a $78,000 etretch of highway in Suffolk County, L. I., promises well for the interests of taxpayers. ‘The public heartily” indorses ~ Justice Kepper’s compliment to the jury “for the great service ren- _. dered the people of the State of New York.” The evidence showed that the Patchogue-Coram road was below * contract in width, depth and material ; that its foundation was in places 2 cheap mixture of sand and boulders, its surface a veneer, and that * the gravel actually bought for the job fell $12,000 worth short of the £5, So far, good. The next question is: Who 0. K.’a such a road? * What conditions higher up in the Highways Department made it . possible for thieving contractors to get away with the State’s money ‘S’and’at the came tithe to have their rotten, half-done work passed with the approval of experts paid to protect the Stete’s interests? ‘s The conviction of a few conspiring contractors and engineers *, should be only a etep in the fixing of responsibility. Let the good werk go on until taxpayers discover how far tfustéd officials in higher _ offices have betrayed them. New York maintained an elaborate and expensive Depart- ment to watch over the building of its roads. If members of that Department havé‘helped the schemes of grafting contractors and let the State pay for skimped and shodcy highways, the sooner we have names and facts the better. ‘ , The “service” which the jury in the Suffolk County case has ren- ~ dered is only a beginning. e ————-+-—___—_ Poor Spring!

But remember that the nicre fact of a man’s clenching his hands does not necessarily mean he js lying. He may be scared or angry or swayed by any of a dozen other emotions. Use your judgment in this, as in all other character readings. It is known, however, that men who have learned to school their faces into mask-like stolidity seldom bother to teach their hands not to clench under stress of emotion, And it is fairly safe, when Jgoking for signs of any strong emotion in a self- contained man, to watch his hands as well an his face.

Prof. Price, in an English literature lec- ture, gave an example of this, “Romeo,” he said, “was the type of man who would pale under mental strens. Othello would redden.” This change of color is not to be confused with the ordinary so-called “plush,” which is merely a sign of, embarrassment. The embarrassment, in such es, changes momentarily the heart's action and sends a suffu- sion of blood to the head. That is the whole secret of the supposedly “mysterious” blush. Criminologiats utterly discount the old and absurd maxim of “Never trust a man who doesn’t look you square in the eye.” The ability to friend whose worth one hasn't real- ized until he has drifted away. “H.

USSEIN PASHA, Dey of Algiers, sat on the divan of his audient chamber one April morning in 1827 waiting for the arrival the local French Consul, To amuse himself while he waited the Dey picked up an ornamental fly-brush (left beside the divan by one of his attendants) and began to filck at the files that buzzed around @ nearby coffee tray. That fly-brush was soon to become historic. Dd) The Dey was in a thoroughly bad temper. And the chief object of his wrath was the French Consul, whom he was awaiting. Not that he had any special grudge, personally, against the Cénsul. But the Consul Tepresented France, and against France the Dey considered he had ‘4 bitter grievance, For centuries the Algerian and other Barbary pirates had black mailed the whole civilized world into paying tribute for the privilege of . sailing the Mediterranean unmolested. The merchant ships of such na- tions as could not or would not pay for this privilege were seized by the pirates and their crews and passengers were sold as elaves. It was the young United States that first had resented this vile sys~- tem of piracy. Twice our country had sent Hittle squadrons to the Africas coast and had forced the Barbary States to sign treatios Mes gg And from podtckontea wnnnnoororer> —had followed our example, until the Barbary States suddenly found ¢nemselves cut off from most of their rich supply of revenue, The Dey of Algiers had recently sought to fill his drained treasury by taking up piracy once more. This had led to trouble—notably with France. And agatnst the French nation the Dey had filed various rather absurd complaints. It was in reference to these complaints that the Dey, on April 30, 1837, had appointed an audience with the French Consul. When the Consul arrived at the palace he found the Dey still playing with the fly-brush. The Dey at once plunged into a fierce and insulting tirade, abusing both France and France's Consul. The Consul made an angry retort. The Dey, unused to such lan; ee from the cringing courtiers with whom he ever surrounded himself, lost all control of his temper. In babyish fury he slapped the Consul across the mouth with the fly- An Orgy of Blackmail. It was an act of outrage that had no precedent in diplomacy’s history. The Consul complained to his Government. France, hotly indignant at such treatment of her representative, demanded from the Dey a humble apology.
