cap is modelled after that Of the Ital

the corresponding document adopted

this city some weeks ago.
There can be no further demonstra-
ton needed of the truth that the ex-
listing administration is the chosen
guardian of the interests of the pro-
tected Industrial infants. 1t would
have been more frank, and not less eff
fective of his purpose, had Secretary
Shaw chosen to tell the country that
the national administration was willing
to stand by the tariff in all it's details,
and that it's meat trust prosecutions
were the necessary product of political
expediency. He could not have made
either fact palmer. What he succeed
ed in doing is to clearly show that the
pretense of opposing such combina-
tons as are in restraint of the coun-
try's trade will be kept up to the end,
and that it is expected to be effective.
In the light of all we now know. the
most remarkable incident of Secretary
Shaw's appearance as the mouthpiece
of the administration is that 1t was
tolerated at all. especially in view Of
the published fact that the address
was censored by. the head of the ma
tional administration before its de-
iverance was decided on.

THE REAL clvlLIzINe INFLUENCE

The signs have been many since the
return Of the imperial court that the
era of progress has dawned on China.
The open recognition by imperial au-
thority of the obligations of China to
the United States for our Intervention
on behalf of Chinese autonomy was the
sequel to a number Of minor orders in
dicating that Western influences were
permanently at work in producing a.
social and Industrial, if not political.
Transformation in the Middle Kingdom.
The announcement of the conclusion
of the negotiations for tariff treaties
with foreign powers represents the full
fillment of one of the most important
undertakings preliminary to the entry
OF China on modern national career.
The Chinese have had good deal of
Christian gospel preached to them In
the past twenty years or so.
Christian missionaries have been
steadily and greatly in evidence in that
time. Their influence has been reveal
ed behind every important happening
in China. Even the most advanced adj
hegent of the Christian religion as a
means of national regeneration must
admit that thus far it's power has been
nil in working out the great problem
of the redemption Of Chinese society
from it's degraded condition.
The railroad, not the Bible, is now
the greatest need of the Chinese. The
Hkin tax, that old-man- Of the-sea on
the shoulders of Chinese trade, has
been destroyed. The interior of the
empire is thus thrown open to modern
commerce. No nation enjoys especial
privileges in that trade, thanks, to the
open-door policy. Superior national
energy and thoughtfulness win, no
doubt, put certain nations in possession

TWO TRUST DEFENDERS

The meat trust is sadly in need of
defenders and apologists at this time.
and 1t has unexpectedly found one in
the official family of President Roose-
Welt Secretary Shaw's Vermont
speech is a remarkable production. II
does not sound like the address of a
cabinet officer. The sentiments which
1t embodies, and the expressions used
in their embodiment, would never be
charged to the existing administra-
ton had member of the cabinet not
publicly assumed sponsorship for them.
The needs of the meat trust also
found recognition from an unexpect-
ed source when Mr.. Frank B. Thurber
yesterday in the Trans Mississippi
congress set himself to the defense of
that combination. 1t is many years
since Mr.. Thurber figured in the pub-
lie life of his own state as the presi-
dent of the National i-Monopoly
league. 1t is true, of course, that his
self-assumed defense of the people
against the evils of monopoly was
IN those days confined to denunciation
of the exactions of certain carriers of
the state through which Thurber
Brothers, the wholesale grocers of
New York city, at that time did most.

Attest SHOULD BE MADE.

The revival of public interest in the
terms of the Judgment of the district
court with reference to the controversy
so long prevailing over the approaches
to Harriet island may be productive of
lasting good. If it results in a cessa-
ton of the ill-will which has attended
the controversy without depriving the
public Of the unrestrained enjoyment
of the public baths and sanitarium it
will prove public benefaction.
Judge Kelly's decision guarantees the
people safe access to the baths. When
that decision was rendered few. of us
beside DR.. Ohage had any true under
standing Of the future possibilities of
the splendid public institution estab-
lished on the island. Since that time
the general public have adopted the
Harriet island as their chosen pleasure
resort. tits no longer merely a free
swimming pool conducted under the
best public auspices. 1t is public
sanitarium and pleasure resort for all
classes Of our people.
The common council is invested with
the power and the duty of furnishing
the public safe and commodious means
of access to Harriet island. Here is the
language of Judge Kelly's decision in
that respect:
SEA that said railway company
snail as any and all times while the
patns on said island are open for the use
OF the public, make such reasonable pro-
co. E -trITsa WI v1rr
crossings leading from the streets con-
t1guous thereto to said bridge extending
TO said island as the mayor and common
council of said city may designate or re-
quire by ordinance passed for that pur-
pose, and that the elevation of said
right, of-Way- shall be, as near as prac-
present foot bridge, now forming an en-
trance TO the public baths.'
OF course the question as to what is
reasonable and what is not recurs in
the construction Of this phraseology;
yet the obligation is none the less Sc
curely imposed on the mayor and COM
mon council to determine what is rea-
sonable, and to provide accordingly.
They must act in full view of the fact
that Harriet island is now the princi-
pal popular resort of the masses during
the summer season, and it's future
public usefulness is not liable to be
confined to any particular season or to
any class Of citizens.
There is an immediate and direct
way to settle the question which has
| aroused SO much acrimony. The coun-
Gil should adopt and the mayor ap-
prove the broadcast and most liberal
provision for securing the safety of
the approaches to the island that can
be regarded as reasonable to all inter-
ests concerned, even though it involve
the removal of the Gedney spur track.
The question will thereupon soon find
its way into court to be finally settled
| and complete understanding be ar
rived at as to what the relative rights
| OF levee tenants, railroad and public
are in determining the best, safest and
most commodious means of approach
possible to Harriet island.

of certain advantages in certain Sec
tions; but, so far as it has been posi-
BILE under the peculiar conditions, the
trade of China with the world is now
open to competition on a common
plane by all nations.
1t remains for the immediate future
to show how far, if at all, this people
are in position to avail themselves of
their superior geographical position
with reference to China and the good
will of the Chinese people in the race
for commercial supremacy which has
now been started.
There is one other thing necessary
besides peace, the open door and COM
mercial treaties. to render China a
serious participant in the trade of the
world, to enable her to lift herself up
to the realization of anything Ike the
| vast possibilities of the future. assum-
ing the readiness of the people to as
sumo the new attitude toward outside
civilization. That one thing is the
construction of railroads into the pro-
ductive interior. That is the lesson
which Japan has to offer. and it is a
lesson which Japanese experience rem
ders of the. most momentous interest
| and Importance TO China.
The Japanese people have taken
their place among the nations. They
have done so because the first step
taken by them after their liberation
from the sshackles of semi barbarism
was the one of building railroads. Eu-
| ropeans and some Americans stepped
in and built their first roads for them;
but they themselves took the work
up where the foreigners laid it down,
with the result that there are in Japan
today, constructed within the past six
years, some 1900 miles of railroad,
equipped and operated on the modern
plan. The Japanese do not hesitate
| to avow the conviction of their best
and brainiest men that the true ciyiliz-
| ing influence has been the steel rail.
But with all that has been done the
door Of Oriental trade is still barely
| ajar. 1t is for this and other trading
races to throw it wide open. What
part we as people will take in the
task, If any, we must soon make plain.
