sands Of enthusiastic admirers. 1t Is pos
sible also that arrangements will be made
be afforded to those out in the State who
desire to come to Indianapolis to hear the
senator. The decorations OF the hall Will
OF the reception will be In keeping with
the Importance of the occasion.
Aside from the appearance of senator
Hanna and his speech the meeting will have
added interest in the presence of Senators
Fairbanks and Beveridge and Representa-
tives Overstreet, Landis and Watson, sure,
and perhaps number of the other mem
bers of the Indiana delegation in the lower
house Of Congress. After Senator Hanna
concludes his speech the two Indiana SEN
ators will make short addresses and the
hearing those of the Representatives that
will be present.
IN OTHER CITIES.
Throughout the trip in Indiana Senator
Hanna will be accompanied by Senator
Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge, by Rep
resentatives Overstreet, Watson and Lam
dis, and other representatives. All the In
diana representatives have been invited
and it is believed that most of them will
accept the invitation. The presence Of
Senator Hanna as the center of interest,
and also of the two Indiana senators, with
the eloquent members of the lower house,
will make the two days tour an event in
Indianas political history long to be re-
membered.
Chairman Goodrich is receiving letters
every day indicating the intensity of the
interest felt out In the State In Senator
Hanna's visit. He is informed that prep
arations are going forward in Evansville,
South Bend. Marion, Anderson, Muncie and
Portland looking to celebrations that will
eclipse anything in the nature of a political
reception ever given in Indiana cities
These letters to the chairman indicate also
the popularity in which Senator Hanna is
held by all classes in this State, and there
will be no division Of sentiment when he
appears to make the speeches that have
been arranged for. One of the straws
which show the direction of the wind of
popularity is the interest manifested by
laboring men in the senator's appearance
in Indiana. In all the cities where he Is
to appear, Mr.. Goodrich is informed la
boring men are preparing to attend the
meetings In masses and are discussing the
senator's advent with pleasure.
In a number Of Indiana cities there will
be disappointment because of Senator Han
mas inability to meet the physical REQUIRE
ments of a more extensive speaking tour
than the one which has now been definitely
decided upon. Among the cities where it
was first arranged for the senator to ap-
pear are Logansport, Wabash. Kokomo.
Goshen, Huntington Frankfort and Marion.

Chairman Goodrich, of the Republican
State committee, announced yesterday the
revised itinerary of Senator Hanna in In
diana. Although account Of the SEN
ator's indisposition ii will be impossible
for him to make speeches in all the cities
that desire to greet him, the itinerary takes
in seven of the larger cities and is very
satisfactory to the State committee
Senator Hanna will speak Oct %
and "A on a two-days' trip through
the State at Indianapolis, Terre
Haute. South Bend, Evansville, An
derson, Muncie and Portland. The In
dianapolis meeting will be on the night
of Oct %; the hours at which the distin-
guished Ohio senator will speak In the
other Indiana cities have not been an
nounced on account Of the desire of Chair
man Goodrich to submit to Senator Hanna
the list of cities and the times Of speaking
before making them public.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Goodrich talked
over the ong-distance telephone to Cleve-
land with Elmer Dover, Senator Hanna's
private secretary. Mr.. Dover informed the
chairman that Senator Hanna would GER
tainly fulfill his promise to come to In
diana on the dates named unless his illness
should grow worse and he be forbidden
by his physician to make the trip 1t was
agreed during the telephone conference
that the number Of speeches be limited
to the seven to be made in the towns
named as the senator did not feel up to
the fatigue which a more extended itinerary
would involve. Senator Fairbanks also re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Dover, stating
that the senator would be able to make
the contemplated trip. but that the num-
Der of speeches would necessarily have to
be limited In view of the eagerness which
is being manifested generally to greet the

There is but one criticism to be offered
on the entertainment given by Messrs
Primrose and Dockstader and their eX-
cellent company Of burnt cork artists.
The musical selections in the first part,
while admirably rendered, are lacking in
quality and without character. There are
several fairly good coon songs" but the
ballads are of the ultra-sentimental type,
and are too Wishy- washy to be worth a
second hearing. That this is serious de-
feet when the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that this part of the bill occu-
pies nearly one half of the time devoted
to the performance, will not be ques-
toned. There is not the excuse of neces-
sity, for the list of songs that are schol-
arly and that possess musical merit is a
long one. If the performance could be
changed in this respect, the entertain
ment would be above reproach.
The dreariness of the first part is over
come. however by the plethora of good
things that follow it. Mr.. Dockstader's
act in the olio is alone worth the price
of admission, and has the double merit
Of both originality and newness. Mr.
Dockstader may now be justly Teckoned
as one Of the best monologuists in the
business, and when he Quilted the stage
after three insistent recalls, he left the
audience in a happy frame Of mind.
George Primrose-who has not heard of
him?-cannot sing any better now than
he could in the days when the stately
matrons Of today were schoolgirls; but

of phenomenal order. Among the Sc

Mr.. Fentcn G. Warner, during his long
service in the assembly, has presented
himself to the average citizen without
regard to party political divisions, as a
capable, upright and amiable gentleman.
No one ever heard of him before as a
mere tool of private interests until the
Pioneer Press presented to it's readers
this estimate Of him as a public man.
h G 10 e thinks it is unjust-grossly
unjust. But the Pioneer may possess
special opportunities of knowledge which
are not within the reach of ordinary pa
pers in this regard, or it may be the
victim Of transformation. An explana-
ton, which is, however, much more
probable, is that the Pioneer Press was
doing the work of Mr.. Warmers political
enemies with but slight regard, if any,
to the Justice or reasonableness of the
view of him which it presented.
Such abuse as that which our contem-
porary casts at Mr.. Warner must natu-
rally attract much attention on it's own
account. When it is coupled with en-
con1iums on ex-Mayor Kiefer, whom the
same paper has in the past abused like a
pickpocket, and has gone outside of the
party lines to defeat as a candidate for
mayor, it marks the most notable con-
tribution yet made to the literature of
the coming spring campaign.
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Kiefer are oppos-
ing candidates for the mayoraIty nominal
ton. At least to the man on an opposite
political sidewalk, it does not appear that
the Pioneer Press advocacy of Kiefer
can, Under the circumstances, be any
more effective than it's abuse of this par
ticular one of his opponents.

CONGRESSIONAL NINooMPooPS.

Whether it is that Congressman Eddy
is merely advertising himself through
the letters said to be received by him
in such great numbers averring the per-
sonal unftness of most of our congress
men to discharge the duties of their Of
fee, or whether such communications are
in fact received by him and may be
taken as expressive of a well defined
public opinion, the fact is indisputable
that the present membership of the house
of representatives, taken in the aggre-
gate, has shown itself to be far below
that of any preceding congress for many
years.
On neither side is there even one man
of paramount ability Seniority is the
only apparent test of influence in that
body at this moment Neither side is
any better situated than the other in this
regard. Richardson is no more fitted to
be leader than is Hepburn; and Hep
burn is leader apparently only by viz
tue of his agility. BY what right Rich
ardson maintains his claim of leadership
is apparent to nobody outside of the Dem
ocratic minority.
Hepburn in his handling of the canal
measure was about as inept as Richard
son has shown himself to be at every
turn since the honor of leadership was
conferred on him. The former show
ed himself to be the victim of the dens-
est ignorance and an equally dense pre-
sumptuousness in putting the foolish
Nicaraguan canal bill through the house
in its present shape. 1t is not ignorance.
| nor bumptiousness from which RIc.l-
ardson as a leader suffers, so much as
it is from inherent unftness for the role
! of leader. He Is, aside from his estab-
hshed position as leader, without either
weight or influence.
The wrong is to the entire co,,ntrv
| arising from the low caliber Of the lead
ership of the majority in the house.
When a man as experienced and Of the
recognized ability of Mr. Cannon is set
aside in the interest of harebraine5
character like Hepburn, it is not surpris-

ing that men of the class of our own
Tawney are looked upon as oracles Of the
national Republican party in congress.
OF course in any but an abnormally low
standard of leadership, years of service
tenfold those which Tawney has put over
him would not suffice to give him the
prominence that he enjoys. Tawney can
talk, just as Hepburn can; and that is
the biggest part of what either or both
of them can do.
With the Democratic minority the case
is different. There are able men on that
side; but they are subordinated to the
claims which continuous service secure
for men like Richardson. If the party
minority is to accomplish anything at
all it is time that the younger men
should come to the front, and put an
end to such exhibitions of nerveIess in
capacity as that given by the Democrats
on the occasion of the consideration of
the Philippine tariff BILL
Indeed unless the record q is changed
the first session Of the present congress,
if not both sessions, will long be remem-
bered as having seen the ascendancy on
both sides of the chamber Of members
who almost justify the estimate we are
told Congressman Eddy's correspondents
place on the qualifications of tie average
congressman.

JUDGE FLANDRAU,s RErIBEmEy7

JUDGE FLANDRAU'S RETIREMENT
With the retirement of Judge FIandrau
distinguished and honorable career mas
been brought to a close In the public as
well as in the social life of the state
Judge Flandrau has borne a brilliant
part. In his profession he was at once
an ornament and an inspiration. Carry
ing with him into every relation of life
the charming personal characteristics
which have made him known and beloved
CT men in every station in this commu-
nifty, he has left his imprint on every
line of the history of Minnesota for at
least a half century.
Our state has been greatly blessed in
the superior moral and intellectual mold
Of it's leading pioneers. No man among
them all played a more valuable part or
played it better than the urbane gentle
man who made his bow a day or two
ago before the bench Of which he him
self had been distinguished member.
Whenever and however his services
might be made available to the people
he has been at their command. In field
and forum, on the bench and at the bar,
his great endoN ments were revealed.
Had he chosen to pursue public career
he would have left the imprint of his ripe
scholarship and answering patriotism
as deeply on the affairs of state and ma
ton alike as ever did even the most Illus
trious men whom Minnesota contributed
to the public service.
Judge Flandrau's days have been long
in the land. His activities have been I'M
tagging during the lifetime Of two gen
erations. He will continue, he GIob e
hopes and believes, to lend the inspiration
of his name and influence to every pub
lie undertaking affecting the general well
fare for long time to come. The years
have rested lightly upon him. He has
made full return of the great gift be-
slowed upon him, and he has been re-
spected and honored in equal measure.
There are many years of usefulness
still left to the judge. While his fellow
citizens willingly admit that he has well
earned the honorable repose that he
seeks, they will long continue. in this
and ether communities of the state, to
look to him, W hen the occasion demands,
for the exercise of those wise councils
and jealous deeds which he has ever
brought to the service of his fellow men.

MIETsYER WU,s POSITION

Mr.. WI Ting Fang is a very able man
No one can fail to admire the great skill
shown by him in his fight against the
re-enactment of the Geary law. He has
stood alone. Among strange and hostile
people he has, through sheer intellectual
force, commanded a hearing for every
thing lie has had to say, whether relat-
ing to his own country or this. But Mr..
WI has made a losing fight. The nation
al demand for the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law is too insistent:
and the belief in its needfulness is alto
gether too widespread to offer the slight
est hope to the Chinese diplomat of stem
ing the current against which he has
fought so bravely.
The Chinese exclusion law, known as the
Geary act, will be re-enacted in all events.
The continued exclusion of the Chinese
from. this country is demanded by prac-
tically all classes of American citizenship.
Tt was not necessary even that President
Roosevelt should have declared with such
emphasis and unrestraint in favor of
Chinese exclusion in his message The
policy had been settled on as desirable
long before Mr.. Roosevelt was ever heard
Of in the political life of the nation.
Minister WI has scored one point which
will not readily be overcome. lie has
pointed out that while the Geary law has
been accepted by China and the accent
ance embodied in the existing treaty.
with China, it is now proposed to enact a
stiH more radical law to the same end.
notwithstanding that the existing treaty.
has two years yet to run. Neither in
ternational right nor Diplomatic usage
admits Of any further or more onerous
action by this country against the SUBJ
jects of the Chinese emperor. as long as
that treaty remains in existence. than is
represented by the Geary law and its
re-enactment.
Whether or not We accent Mr.. Wu's
claims in their entirety we are compelled
to give them intelligent consideration.
We must, whether we will or no. violate
the existing treaty with China if. during
the period of its continuance. we go be-
yond the terms of exclusion laid down in
the existing law. Are we ready to do
that? IL we do it. we set ourselves in
position of open hostility toward China,
and the result may at least be sufticien ,ty

serious to demand a severance of dipIo-
matte relations.
We are on the eve Of establishing a
great shipping trade with China The at
titude which we have borne toward that
people and its rulers throughout the re-
cent disturbances has prevented the dis
memberment of the country. We have
entitled ourselves as a nation to the ever
lasting gratitude of the Chinese race. We
may, if we will. set all that aside. and
undo all the good that has been accom-
plished for the promotion Of our COM
mercial relations with the people Of that
country.
Such a line of conduct we can follow.
and China will not suffer in the slightest.
The Geary law is effective for all uur-
poses. Properly enforced it does not adj
nit of the admission of Chinese to any
extent whatever. Nobody thought of
more than its re-enactment until the mes
sage of the president was made public
In fact nobody demands more now. except
the radical people of the Pacific coast.
The question which Minister WI has
forced the federal officials. executive and
legislative, to consider is whether for
the mere sake Of strengthening a law
adequate for all purposes our country is
willing to break off diplomatic relations
with his and seriously endanger it's pros
