rave NSpN Up lnuepen0ent SPIRIT.
In his address at the University OF
Iowa, before the Phi Beta Kappa, in
June, 1902, Professor Josiah Royce OF
Harvard university made an estimate
OF the Japanese character, which has
especial force today when the atten.
ton of the world is so closely turned
TO analysis of this eastern people.
"A generation ago" said Professor
Royce, the Japanese seemed to most
European observers to be entering
upon a career If total self,surrender.
They seemed to be adopting without
stint European customs and ideas.
They seemed to lie abandoning their
own national independence of spirit.
Yet those of us who have watched
them since, or who have become ac.
Quainted with representative Japanese
students, know how utterly superficial
and illusory that old impression of
ours was regarding the dependence or
the helpless docility of the modern
Japanese man. He has now taught us
quite another lesson.
With a curious and not on the
whole unjustitied spiritual willingness,
he has learned indeed. our lesson. but
he has always given it his own inter
probation, You always feel in inter.
course with japanese. how uucon-
querahle the spirit of his nation is,
how inaccessible the recesses of this
spirit have remained after all these
years Of free intercourse with Euro
peans. In your presence the Japa.
nese always remains the courteous and
respectful listener, SO long as he has
reason to think you have anything to
teach him. But he remains as abso-
lutely his own master with regard to
the Interpretation, the use. the posses
sion of all spiritual gifts as If he were
the master and you the learner"

as cowardly. Mr. Williams made no
mention of the money question beyond
making fun of Mr. Roots statement
that the increase per capita circulation
in the country is due to the republican
party. He closed by sounding the dem
ocratic war cry for the campaign-a
fight on trusts the tariff as fostering
the trusts. honesty in public life and a
steady, reliable man in the presidential
chair. His speech in part follows:
There have always been two great
parties who, since the first national po-
litical conventions, have elected dele
gates to conventions for the purpose of
selecting a candidate and promulgating
platform, One of these parties has
gone through its party election of del
egates. has selected a candidate and
announced a platform. 1t was one of
the Quietest and most unanimous" oc
casions that the muses. of history have
recorded. Everything seems to have
been fixed beforehand.
Attacks Roots Speech.
The address of the temporary chair
man of the republican convention was
in one sense historical 1t dealt much
in history most of it ancient history,
and a great deal of it bad history.
There was a labored argument to prove
that the party of Roosevelt must, by
something like evolutionary process,
act as the party of Lincoln and McKin-
ley This was necessary in order to
disguise the palpable fact that it is not
so acting
Not without reason, then, this la
bored argument by this great and in
genious lawyer. 1t was to draw away
attention from Rooseveltism, its vol
canic eruptive character, by dwelling
upon the fact that, at some period of
its history the republican party has
been "a party which did things" and
did them safely.
Policy Called cowardIy.
The orator hoped to have the coun-
try lose sight of the fact that II is now
in both of its legislative branches a
party of passivity, Of nOn-action, of OF
struction to reform and progress-in a
word. a party whose only sacred pre-
cept is the shibboleth which maketh
them known, one of them to the other
d shtbboleth drawn from the gamblers
table-'stand pat precept born of
cowardce and fear to move.
Offenders Unpublished.
Mr. Root says offenders have been
relentlessly prosecuted and sternly
punished Isn't this remarkable 'thun-
dering in the index for you, when com

plishments? ri there ever were de-
