The silver Republicans.

The silver republicans at Kansas City

altogether sincere. and the document they

likes not only their principles. but their
pluck They have gone out into the open
for silver as he has. ard there IS that
strong bond between them. The platform
OF the silver republicans, therefore, may De

Bryan's views, but with reference also 10

really imperilei. The prosperous farmer
and the busy mechanic will probably de-
mand positive proof. The overworked ex-
porter will be incredulous. The man on

evidences of the impending catastrophe. If
Mr. Bryan cannot produce them he must
expect defeat.
For the burden of proof is him. He
must show, first. what Imperialism means
in terms OF American fac; and history; sec
ond. how it is possible TO transform the re-
public from its original and present pur-
poses and processes into the sembiance of
an oligarchy against the will of the peo-

northwest, for those sections desired Mr..
Towne. And not in the middle states. for
they were all playing favGrite sons.
As much may he said of the nominal

be added the qualifying fact-not mentioned
here in any. spirit of disrespect to hlm-that
he would have fitted any platform the con-
vention might have written. He is an old
fashioned partisan, whose idea of being

runs with equal ease and personal comfort

The announcement from London that

Japan'S taking the forefront of the inter-
national campaign in China Is note of
pleasing promise. Without Russia's ac-
quiescence in such a program Japan must
necessarily be held back. Being imme-
diately on the ground. with large and well
equipped army, Japan is capable OF deliver
ing some telling strokes i'll behalf of order
and already it is cabied that the govern
ment at Toxic has moved toward placing
3n,0oo men in China within a few days.

The breaking in two of China with a

Cleavage between its northern and southern

Vantageous to China herself Complete re-

that she may break up into half "A dozen

always governed pigtail policy. The coun-
try is too big and popu.ous to be ruled as

prosperous confederation of states like our

Japan has done. thus taking her proper
