The American troops and tho4ef Of
Japan are not only given credit Tor the
hardest fighting in the storming |, OF
Tien Tsin, but their conduct after the

contrast to that of the soldiers of the
European allies. The story of the

the program after the great Chinese

A Shock to Southern Nerves.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat calls
attention to an amusing shock which
southern nerves have just received. 1t
seems that a convention devoted to
southern industries, in session at At
lanta, has rejected the address pre-
pared by a special committee because
it sounded too much like a Republican
platform. No doubt the committee
performed its work impartially and
with the single idea of presenting the
truth in intelligent shape. The re-
semblance to a Republican statement
was incidental. 1t was also unavoid-
able. Southern industries as now de-
veloping can not be described without
at least indirect praise of present ma
tionaI policies. Like other sections of
!, the country the South is enjoying good
times. Its industries are broadening
out. Its mills and other manufacture
ing plants are multiplying. It's mines
are rising in Importance and its prod
| Iy good prices. These observations
may sound like Republican platform,
but since they are true how can that
be helped? The committee honestly
held the mirror up to the facts and
| these stubborn things had the audac-
Ity to betray a Republican flavor.
So the Southern Industrial Conven-
ton sent the facts back to be worked

presidency backed by an army rather

he has had the field to himself ever

expire he sees to it that he is re-
elected unanimously and the techni-

dates do not bother him. A few weeks
ago he was chosen for another term.

his office while he lives. His style of
