A MUCH NEEDED AGREEMENT.


In the discussion of the diplomatic po-
sition of the United States in the Chinese
controversy there have appeared through
out two cOntending lines of opinion. One
of these has favored the cooperation of
the United States with England, and
incidentally, with such nations as Ger
many and Japan, together with opposi-
ton to the policies and interests of Rus
STA and France. The other school has
expressed the conviction that the best in
terests of the United States in the Orient
require that there shall be cooperation
between the United States and Russia,
and, incidentally, with France, together
with more or less of opposition to the
real plans of England and Germany in
the Orient.
1t may be stated, as a general PROPOSE
ton that the friends of the adm:nistra-
ton have shown throughout a decided
leaning in the Orient toward England
and against Russia; While those who dis
trust the administration in it's foreign
as in its domestic policies have believed
that it would be to the advantage of
China, as well as of the United States,
If we were engaged in active co-opers-
ton with Russian purposes in the Orient.
Whatever be the right of these contend
ing views, it is a pleasure to observe one
of the foremost champions of the ad-
ministradon in its expansion policy, John
Barrett, the former American minister
to Siam. urging the adoption of such a
course as may operate to secure an I'M
Outstanding between Russian and Eng
lish interests on basis of enduring gain
to the Chinese empire and for the pro-
motion of Chinese territorial integrity.
Mr.. Barrett is very outspoken adher-
ent of the British view of the Chinese
situation. But he is far from being lost
to the great truth that the strongest in
huence in operation today for the preser-
walton of the autonomy of China is
the friendly disposition of the United
States. Were It not for that influence
IT would be difficult for the powers to
reach an agreement looking to the parti-
ton Of the empire. He is also fully alive

The wave of reform that is now sweep
ing through certain Eastern cities natu-
rally attracts considerable attention.
Such reform waves seem to recur period
ically and have certain storm centers.
The two main forces back of them seem
to be the neral sense of the community
and the laundering for free advertising
ard notoriety in at least some of the
reformers. Usually there is still a third
force, which, though kept in the back
ground, is still none the less powerful.
viz, the desire Of the opposition to make
it unpleasant for the party in power
There can be no question that at GER
tain times such movements are quite
necessary and, if judiciously directed,
they can effect much good. Too fire.
quently, however, these crusaders are
to ignore or forget certain facts, which,
though unpleasant, are facts none the
less. Hence, they attempt a bigger con-
tract than they can carry out, until,
finally, the people get tired of the bun
CLING and laundering and turn them
down again.
A modern metropolis is not a country
village. To draw all vice out Of a big
city is more than any body Of men can
hope to do. But if they will concentrate
their efforts along certain lines and in
certain practical directions, and do their
work thoroughly as far as they go, they
can do any any amount of good Wher-
ever it is customary for saloons to sell
liquor to minors, the law can readily
be enforced against them. Certain forms
of vice are more easy to prosecute and
punish than others and finally such Of it
as cannot be stamped out should be con-
fined to localities where it will do the
least harm, and where it can be best
subjected to proper control
Too frequently these reformers are
anything but practical The vice which
they suppress in one place breaks out
in an intensified form in a dozen other
localities. Instead of stopping vice, they
spread it broadcast throughout the city,

The total vote cast for president in

Inc total vote cast for president in
1900 was 1S,SS3,943. out of an estimated

Inc vote this year was therefore 80 495
Tess tnan 1t was four years ago, although
tL ne eIectorate had increased at least

was within quarter of a million of the

this year reached 125O,0OO.
one voter in every dozen the country
through refrained from expressing any
opinion upon the presidency.
Except the presidential election of 1864.
"hen the Southern states were not repre-
scented, this is the first presidential cleo
ton at which the popular vote has been
less than at the preceding presidential
election.
Except the election of 1854 this is the
first presidential election at which the
popular vote has not been much
greater in proper proportion, than at the
preceding election.
Mr. McKinleys popular vote in 1896
was llO2,2l2. His popular vote in 1900
was 7,23Sl3O, gain of 135, S58 Mr.. Bry
ans popular vote in 1896 was 6 1902. 925. His
popular vote in 1900 was $3.50, $50 a loss
of 142, 1896.
Mr.. McKinley's slight increase. and
Mr.. Bryan's slight decrease in strength
can be easily understood by looking at
the totals of the popular vote. What is
the meaning of the practical standstiu
OF both candidates; of the unprecedented
decline of the popular vote; of the fact
that one voter in every dozen had no
preference among the candidates2
Clearly these facts can only mean a
widespread popular dissatisfaction with
both candidates, both parties, both
schemes of national policy. Clearly the
voters chose between evils, and chose
so reluctantly that a large part of them
refrained from expressing a choice.
The popular vote, surveyed as a whole,
shows that the result of the election was
a rebuke 20 both sides, with a strong
preference for the ills that were as
compared with the ills that might have
come of change.

to the great truth that considerations of
self-interest must ever keep us unfriendly
to the idea of Chinese spoliation, even if
we were controlled by no higher consid-
erauons. In this behalf he says very
truly:
1--WE have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by the maintenance of Chi
nese. sovereignty over all portions of the
empire, because now our rights are guar
anteed by treaty, and with their pro-
lection we shall be able successfully to
compete with all other nations in COM
merce and trade. On the other hand,
with China divided we may get some
thing or nothing. By recognizing a pol
icy of division of the empire, we shall
give UP a bird in the hand for one in
tie BUSH 1t is a singular fact that ev-
cry American merchant, exporter and
manufacturer doing business with China
is strong in advocacy of the American
Polcy which will preserve the integrity
OF the empire"
We may disagree with each other as to
whether or not this power or the other
fevors the dissolution of the Chinese en-
pire. Time alone will determine the truth
of the contending views in this regard,
although all events Of the past few
weeks look toward a desire on the part
of at least certain Of the powers to de-
stroy Chinese autonomy while processing
to a wish to favor it, But none of us
has reason to doubt that our government
has a real desire to protect Chinese SOW
ereignty.
Can we through diplomatic agencies rec
oncile the opposing interests or policies of
European nations in China? It does not
seem wholly impossible, however diff
cult the task may appear on it's face.
in this regard ex-Minister Barrett has
this to say:
'I am more optimistic than pessimistic
as to the future of China, and I believe
in carefully considering the difficulties
that may confront US, and in preparing
against contingencies that may arise.
What greater diplomatic achievement
could do honor to Americas foreign re-
| lations than leading in a policy which
shall make both Russia and Great Brit
ain work in harmony for the preserva-
ton of the best interests of all three?
Japan would certainly give her support,
because her interests are akin to ours;
while Germany and France would be
forced to accept without question the de-
| crees of such diplomacy"
1t certainly would be a great achieve
ment on the part of American diplomacy
to so reconcile the interests of the Euro
pean powers so as to place the integrity
of the Chinese empire beyond all reason
able danger. 1t is only through such CO.
operation that the task can be accom-
plished. 1t may well be that fear of con-
sequences to one or the other will long
operate to prevent the enforcement of
the policy of Chinese disruption. That
fear is operating today. Nor are any par
tial agreements, such as that recently
entered into between England and Ger
many, likely to bring the powers any fur
Their away from that dread.
May we not hope, on the other hand,
that by universal agreement, called into
existence through. the initiative of the
United States the powers may be led to
forego any action tending to Chinese dis
memberment. without the concurrent &C
ton of all others?
