Is only four short years ago that Mr..
Davis was marching up and down the
Middle West denouncing the Chicago
platform, which has just been reaf-
flrmed. heaping abuse upon the man he
now supports. ridiculing his arguments
and questioning his honesty, mercilessly
criticising his followers. whom he
charged with conspiring to bring ruin
upon the country. berating every man
who stood up in defense of the Demo-
cratic party. and picturing that polit-
ical organization as all that was evil.
corrupt. unwise and bad beyond de-
scription. All that he SO roundiy de-
nounced then he now declares intensely
American: and, unmindful Of this awful
qualification. calmly asks his hearers to
believe him a Democrat to the core. 1t
is as certain that he Will be looked
upon with contempt by Republicans as
II is that he will be regarded with sus-
picion by his newly found political
friends.

A New Crusade In Sight.

The question Of the ultimate DISPOSE
may be left for future consideration.
There is work before the civilized ma
tons Of the world which will task their
resources to the utmost. and the proper
performance OF which requires the
merging OF all jealousies into earnest
and hearty cooperation. There must be
coalition Of the powers Of civilization
against the Chinese empire, which
seems to have dropped back into prim-
tive barbarian. The immediate prime
necessity is the condign punishment Of
the men who have seized the imperial
power In that country, and who are
directly responsible for the appalling
crimes which have been and are being
committed.
The mobs which have carried out
their DEGREES must be punished. as were
the Indian mutineers. not for the Of
Tense OF taking up arms against the
forces Of the civilized world. but for
their shocking barbarities upon nom
combatants and diplomatic representa-
tives, whose persons have always been
held sacred since the earliest dawn OF
history. Such a punishment must be
inflicted as will bring home to the Chi
nese people the lesson that an injury
to a white man win never again pass
unpublished, and that the whole civil
lied world will unite in the defense Of
the Europeans and Americans who may
hereafter enter China. There should be
no object In view beyond the creating
OF a condition in China whereby the
lives OF all foreigners shall become az
safe there as they are in any European
country. and no price is too heavy to
secure such an assurance.
The Chinese government. as II exists
at present, has written its own obitu-
airy. 1t must be wiped OF Of the earth.
II In so doing II Is necessary to fertilize
the soil OF China with half Of its present
population. Pending the accomplish
ment Of this task, the civilized nations
OF the world should drop present jeal-
ousies and distrust OF one another, and
they will do II. II IL a new crusade to
which the world has been called, and
every nation must do its part.

In celebrating the recognition OF the

Chicago Times Herald says; ''The admin

elected In sets OF Ave each every year by

Not the least significant Ia thu fact that
Mr. nm received by far the highest vote
on the list. Even Senator Hoaf, to whom
the alumni OF the university II unques-
tionably loyal. received 50 votes less than
