HOWmany livingmen can squarely stand up and honestly compare themselves as

the equal or superior (in any way whatsoever) to the great IronChancellor who

made Goethe's dream ofGermanic unitya realistic drama of "iron and ofblood ?

How many dare declare "Ihave greater brain power than he"—"lhave a stronger

body»_«l am healthier"— have a saner knowledge"—"lam more successful" or "I

have more force of character?Bismarck, during his marvelous career, outwitted the most celebrated statesmen of

his time;overthrew and conquered three armed nations, and ruled over the empire he

created with enlightened and practical wisdom for nearly half a century, dying at the

ripeold age of 89, famous throughout the world as the "Greatest of the Germans."

Now, upon what nutriment was this colossus fed that he grew so mighty; what put

the iron into his blood? This we know— that like all Germans he believed in good eat-

ingand drinking, hence the juices of the malt and hops were never absent fromhis table.

Authority—any biography of Bismarck.

American Asiatic Association Addresses Let-ter to House ofRepresentatives.

The Judiciary Committee of the House of Kep-

esentat is asked to refrain from casting as-jiTsions 01 the judicial character and methods ofJudge Wilfley. of Shanghai, in a letter sent by theexecutive committee of the American Asiatic As-sociation and made public- yesterday.

Th» letter Is nddr«-sred to Representative John J.Jenkins, chairman of the Committee on Judiciary.It urges the committee to withhold its approval

from those portions of the report of its sub-com-

mittee which reflect on Judge Wilfley,and declaresthat the committee fully discharged its duty in

finding that the charges, even if support «ri by legalevidence furnished no ground for impeachment ofthe Judge.

The communication asserts that a gross injustice

has been done to the judge in censuring indiscrim-inately his court without giving him a bearing,that members of the Asiatic association ho haveobserved Judge Wilfley"? methods have beenstrongly impressed with the value of bin services.and that he merits the respect an.l gratitude ofevery resjtt-ctuWe man and woman within the juris-diction of his court.

Regret is expressed by the writers that the sub-committee of the Judiciary Committee "shouldhave found it necessary, in the most arbitraryfashion, to assail the character and impugn thejudjrment o£ a public servant who has earne.l the

approval of al! decent Americans a the Far East."The hope is voiced that the judiciary committee

will not "become \u25a0 party to the palpal \u25a0 Injusticeof meting: out condemnation without trial or hear-tag, and will not fatally weaken the administrationof American justice in Shanghai by giving colorto the impression That It desires the law to be in-terpreted in the way most agreeable to those whoaccord the law the least regard

The handbills announce in Italian that "Abunch

tn introduce in the Constitution an amendmentagainst the free press. Such amendment la danger-

ous because it offends the liberal traditions of th»United States."

was to be the principal speaker."Anarchistic talk and anarchistic publications in

Paterson are doomed." said the Mayor. "This city

has no more anarchists than any other city of

similar size in the country, but we are maligned

and pointed to as the breeding place of anarchists.There is onli' one way to stop this, and thai is to

banish every anarchist to be found here, ana matIintend to do.

-The meeting called for Friday night wiil notbe held. The day when the 'reds' like Emma Gold-man or any other apitator of her class can cometo this city and address people from the publicplatform has passed."

The police board met in special session this eve-ning and decided to uphold Mayor Mcßride in hisstand against the anarchists. The owner of TurnHall also announced that be had cancelled the en-gagement of the hall for Friday night.
