The attitude of this country among the

so tremendous a contrast to that of
all others that the moral effect was in

1t is now a question whether England
has checkmated Russia's aims in Man

likewise in Korea, by the making of this
agreement. The effort is being made
with good deal of subtlety to convey
the thought that the failure of the
United States to sign the treaty is a

have another dreibund in the East

WANTED-A CONSTITUTIONAL CON
YENTION.
The situation which now exists as the
direct result of the precipitate and un-
warranted action of the governor in call
ing an extra session of the legislature
IS one which should bring pain to every
philosophical citizen of the state. Not
only was the present session called into
existence with indecent haste; but the
very terms of the measure creating the
tax commission rendered it difficult if
not impossible for that body, with the
time at its bestowal, to do the work
which alone they could have served the
state by doing. The work they have
done now promises to go for naught I'M
less the counsels of the wiser and more
conservative of the members shall pre-
vail.
The tax code is already defeated t
is quite plain that it cannot now be
adopted in substance or spirit It has
succumbed to the universal verdict of
condemnation. Nor can the fault lie
placed at the door of either the commits
sion or the legislature. 1t is due to the
peculiar circumstances attending the
creation and appointment of the commits
sion and the calling Of the legislature
together. This latter was done in time
and manner pure and simple to enable
Gov Van SAINT to strengthen the pros
poets of his denomination.
The situation. then. which confronts the
citizens Of the state is one which prom
Uses such action by the law making pow

commission, and lead to the adoption of
amendments to the tax laws which bear

to consider. This is absurd. 1t may

point Of view. The tax code should be

effect as leave it in doubt whether they
should be seriously considered during
the present session. His proposed amend
ments to the constitution raise a serious
question whether they would receive
popular approval as. indeed. will any
amendment whatever. except, perhaps,
the amendments recommended by the
commission.
There is but one course for the legisla-
ture to pursue, so far as r h G l o e
sees. That is to provide for the calling
of constitutional convention. This it
can do by a two-thirds vote in each
body. 1t can submit the question to the
people at the next election and in all
human probability it will be adopted.
The alternative course is to submit such
amendments as they decide are neces-
sary to the enactment of the tax Leg
islation sought. Tax legislation along
any of the lines thus far laid down
ought not to be seriously considered.

expansion of the great Slav empire to-
ward Amur and the yellow sea, events
alone will show Certainly if Russia has
any designs on the Korean peninsula
she can put them in effect only at a
terrible sacrifice. She must face the
united power of England and Japan in
any such event
One of the questions with which diplo-

themselves will be whether the Anglo
Japanese treaty will operate to isolate
England in Asiatic, as she rs now iso-

the proposition in another form, whether
there is not prospect, more or less re-
