of protest. But ordinarily popular pro
test does not cause MIR. Plat to abandon

after the election is over. 1t was
something more than popular protest that

year II they think they are to induce
many friends Of prohibition In Maine
% help them to drive home the thin edge
nf ths wedge of the licensed greg shop
In this state. In fact, the revival of the
enforcement in Maine has led the grog
shop interests In this state to open raid

larger doses or home misruls. We allude
to uhe poor logic that Is being put out on

III we recQllect Alright the person who
has agged on resubmission more than
any body else of late is the Hon. Joseph
II, Maniey, who is certainly not con-
nsoted with rumshop interests and with
no sympathy with them. 1t is difficult
to understand why the rumshops should
want to egg ON rssubmission. There is
no doubt that there IS strong major
ity In favor OF prohibition, at least In
favor of having 1t on the statute book,
ana the inevitable result OF rssubmis-
sion would be another endorsement of
the prohibitory amendment That
would not helm the rumshop interest. ItG
tendency would be to hurt them since II

would not have received such a record.
breaking majority. MIR. MoCalls optn'
ions have been expressed freely In the
pas5 two years, so that this KIND Of ar
gument seems to contradict itself, 1t
may easily be that SOME or these very
critics who are now trying to read the
congressman out of the Republican party
" ill be scramh bling within few months
to stand where no stands. Ii the supreme
court decides that all territory governed
by the United States is under the
constitution, the views now held
by MIR. MCCALL will be held by the Re-
publican party soiidiy and openly. Even
as 1t Is today, fairly large part Of the
Repu blicRns OF this country, and certain
iy a very large proportion OF the Republi-
cans of this section, agree with him in

HILLS VIEW OF THE PARTY'S FU-
TURE.
Washington dispatch to the Boston
Globe.)
The presence of ex-senator David b.
Hill In Washington has given rise to a
good deal OF Speculation regarding his
ODJcCb III oonAnS hoAO az bnAb hAAhus ~
has been assumed that his visit has a
political purpose. This is not true but
it IL q fact that he has spant deal OF
time In talking politics with prominent
Dem ocratio members OF Congress.
Mr.. Hill-s advice to fellow Democrats
lie not TO do anything rash at this time
or to be hasty IN their attempt to bring
about a reorganization of the Democratic
party. The necessity OF reorganization,
he admits, but he does not believe that it
would be wise to force a light at this
time.
In this many prominent Democrats
agree with him. They believe that the
ensuing months should be spent In dis
eussien and trying to bring about har-
mony, and that the men who insisted
upon Bryan's nomination last July VIII
admit that as ne has twice been given
the honor OF leadership 1t is now time
for someone elss to be placed in the van
of the party.
They think that Cancellation would be
more effective than brute force and that
II harmony can once more bs restored

ture are promising.

Possibly General ChRtfee's complaint
about the footing that has been goin0 on
at Pekin may not have been couche1 In
the most discreet language. Men right
enusIy indignant, as Chaffee was, and
had right to be, are not apt to be very
careful in selecting their words Indeed,
Il is one proof of the righteousness OF
their feelings that they do not do so.
Our government may havs to disavow
some OF his language to smooth down this
ruffisd feathers of the foreign generals
and diplomatists. But the American
people will be likely to approve both
what Chaffee said and the way in which
he said 1t The conduct OF the allies
sinos entering Pekin has bsen Disgrace
full. They have looted the city and sent
out various so-called punitive =expsdi-
tions which have been in reality littl,
bstter than marauding raids. They have
destroy ed and pillaged tombs under vari-
ous shallow pretexts, and their latest
outrage was the despoiling OF the Pekin
observatory. 1t was high time for some
body to protest against these outrages,
and that the protest should come from
the American commander and be oouched
in plain, blunt language, is something
that the American people have good
reason to point to with pride.
