err and protect him from the modern
izing influences OF the age. The dow
ager empress has been the leading spir-
II OF the reactlonists at the Russion
court. She has sought to make her son
a ruler after her own heart--a states
man Of the Muscoyite school, milf
tarist and an upholder OF the Russian
bureaucracy, which is the cars most
potent instrument In ruling personally
over so many millions Of subjects dis
tributed over two continents.
The cars wife, on the contrary, Is
the embodiment Of open minded liber-
alism. Her Anglo-German mind can
not grasp the medieval ideas which
appeal so strongly to the SlaVs, with
their lower degree of culture civiliza-
ton and enlightenment. Necessity
compelled her TO embrace the orthodox
Greek faith when she married Nicholas
but her conversion was purely formal
and she remains at heart true to Luth-
eran Professionalism, the religion of her
childhood In politics, too the Aslatlc
ideas which prevail at the Russian
court are abhorrent TO her, and she re-
CARDS the reactionary advisers of the
car including her own mother in-'aw
as the worst enemies Of Russia
All the influence the czarna possesses
over her imperial husband is eXerted
TO make him a progressive western
monarch, instead of an eastern poten-

posal had been approved Willingly, In
promoting a ruthless persecution of the
Jews Of the Poles and Of the Firms the
dowager empress has worked to bring
about that which the czarina would
prevent and TO prevent that which the
c2arlna would bring about.
II Is a matter Of common gossip In
Russian court circles that the two i'm
perial ladies from time TO time have
lively passages over their divergent po-
litcal views. Shortly after the recent
Kischnen riots, when SO many Jews
We're massacred, there was quite scene
between the dOwaBcr empress and her
daughter-in-law in the cars study one
morning. The czarina urged that the
kishinen massaCres disgrnCed Russia
In the eyes Of the civilized world and
cast a blot on her husbands honor
while the dowager empress maintain
ed that no one whose opinion was wor.
thy of consideration cared whether
there We're a few Jews more or less in
the world and that the protests made
In western countries were engineered
by an insignificant minority Of unn-
luental and sentimental or Interested
nohodies.
HIS MOTHER HAS ADVANTAGE.
The victory on this occasion OF the
young cZarna over the empress moth
er has not improved the relations be-
tween the two imperial ladies' whose
obvious disagreement affords unlimit-
ed scope for gossip among the women
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1903-09-19

have got into trouble by demonstrating
their political opinions TOO vigorously,
she has espoused the cause of strikers;
she has championed the rights of the
Jews, who can he balted with impu-
nifty throughout Russia, she has repre-
scented to her husband the injustice Of
suppressing Polish nationalism by
bood-and-iron methods and she has
warmly advocated a more mercilul
treatment of the llberty-loying, patrl-
Otto Firms.
MANY SHARP COLLISIONS
Needless to say, during the nine years
Of the cars reign the czarina and her
mother-in- law have come into sharp
collision over political affairs on nu-
merous occasions.
The car waivers continually betwe n
allegiance 10 his wife and to his moth
or. lie loves his wife, but he fears his
mother; and It Is a constant struggle
between love and fear. Sometimes the
one gets the upper hand, sometimes
the other; hence the zig-2ag course Of
the ears policy visible to the world.
When the car issued his peace mani
festo his wife was fun Of genuine en-
thusiasm for the good cause, but his
mother rldiculed the scheme as a senti-
mental absurdity. When the holy sy-
nod proposed that Tolstoi should be eX-
communicated the dowager empress
persuaded the czar 10 give his assent
to this step but when the syn1d de-
manded the expulsion Of Tolstoi the
czarina's influence was predominant
for the time and the demand was re-
fused as peremptoriy as the first pro-

Japan seems pugnacious. In the matter OF 4
Krupp-gun civilization. Japan is a comparatively
new nation. Not long ago its fleet blew out Of the
water all the Chinese ships worth mentioning Since
that time the Government has been busily improv-
ing its armament. With devoted energy it has ap-
piled the national to the gindstone in order TO
become Power Of the first class Japan is fit and
ready and give Russia n hard tussle.
Still, the match seems unequal-Japan. a little

territories include the half of Europe and Of Asia

Rome.

Kratz's coming again into the fore Of publicity IS
especially significant just now. The Republican field
IS open, and the Republican party at a loss for
ellgibles. Moreover the machine organs have prom
Ised on behalf Of their constituents to nominate
man conspicuousIy associated with the Missouri
Idea.
For time it seemed very much as though they
would be reduced to the necessity of nominating
Mr.. Bert Norton the emnently successful investi-
gator and prosecutor who was the only Republican
in the State visibIy identified with reform. The
chine organs balked at this prospect for the very
obvious reason that Nortoni was not on their side
Of the reform issue.
Kratz affords happy solution Of their Difficult
ties If he may be brought home. Kratz is most in
timately connected with the reform movement, and
he represents the under and congenal side Of It.
Those organs which refuse TO support Nortoni car
not but indorse Kraz.
Kratz announced his candidacy many months
ago; since which time the machine organs have been

which adds TO the probability that they viii support
him. Indeed their silence is hardly expicable upon

Kratz has enjoyed the answering support OF

captain looks for advice upon the international law

word jusdfying japan before the law, plunges his
country into struggle. The lawyer eIpounds; the
captain fights.
The Japanese must have legal minds OF remarks

lawyers just pronounce the Law orlhand: they know
it thoroughly, and state precisely what It IS In the

Presumably. however. the lawyer on the Japa-

such n volume as the Missouri statutes. 1t Is just
barely possible that he understands the law to cor

artificial reasoning and completely Moreover there
being but one lawyer on one wnrship nobody is
