THE AMERICAN COURSE.
A Policy that Works to the Advantage
of Commercial interests


We are what we have become. and we
propose to hold our interests as Il world
power for the benefit of the American
people This is the Republican program.
Hence the recent Shanghai incident.
China is an enormous nation occupying
an enormous country, just now in n state
of dissolution or reconStruction-no one
can tell which. The various nations with
various interests look upon its territory
with longing eyes. but it does not seem
best, with the interests of all considered,
that it should be dismembcred. 1t APP
pears to be best for the interests of all
the other nations of the world that it
should be aided rather than divided.
This course has been decided upon by the
leading nations of the world, following
the suggestion and with the assistance of
the present Republican administration of
this country. This attitude is certainly
right morally, and, i'll the long run, must
be right as to material interests Darticl-
larry for the people of the United States
Russia and Japan are at war. There
has arisen an incident which is some
what an anomaly in international affairs
Warships have fled into neutral port of
China and other warships have pursued
them. Under the laws of nations no
battle may occur i'll a neutral port. such
as that of Shanghai. The United States,
taking the initiative. has promptly inter
vCncd to see that no violation Of the laws
Of nations may occur. and has done this
because of the helplessness of China vast
as the empire is. to enforce all proper in
ternational obligations in its own har-
bors.
This is but in keeping with the tone of
what the United States under the pres
ent administration has done before 1t
suggested and induced au agreement be-
tween the great nations that China
should not be dismembereh Having TAX
en- the initiative in this respect, it was
but right and proper that we should take
the initiative in seeing to it that what
was suggested and built up by us should
be enforced. This has been done.
That is the way the present admins
tration of the government is doing things.
That is the way it will continue to do
things. The doing Of this is for the
greatest good for all the commercial in
terests and other interests of all the
world. The doing of this implies and in
wolves immediate executive action by the
administration of the United States 1t
is for the good of the world.
Imagine such prompt, sensible and
forceful action under the administration
of a man like Parker admitting for a
moment the possibility Of his election
Well we can't imagine it.

SECOND TERM QUESTION.
Roosevelt's Claim to the Presidency
Stronger than Any Other Mans.
[ L.. L

Stronger than Any Other Mans
(kansas City Times, Independently
If President Roosevelt had been elect
cd to the office he now occupies, Judge
l'arker's declaration that if chosen Pres
ident, he would not be a candidate for
reelection, might have some special
weight in the present canvass among
those who are believers in the one-term
principle But President Roosevelt came
into office by accident. He was made
Vice President against his personal
wishes and political Judgment. He was
duty bound and he voluntarily pledged
himself to carry out, so far as possible.
the policies of his predecessor. If he
has done well, he is especially entitled
to the votes of>the people. Under the
circumstances his claim to the presidency
is stronger than that of any ordinary
candidate could be, for if he has faith
fully fulfilled the office to which he was
called by accident, he should be honored
with the same office by election. His
present incumbency of the presidential
post should at least serve us a reliable
probationary service. 1t is for the peo-
pie to answer to his administration, for
if it has been equal to or above the aver
age. or satisfactory generally. he has
stronger claims than any other man
could have, for he asks an Endorsement
where another would ask for trust
And this is the way the country is likely
to look at the situation President Roose-
welt has made himself tremendously
strong with the masses. He has CON
WINGED the nation of his honesty, courage
and capacity. He has pleased vastly
more Democrats than he has offended Re
publcians. And both the admiration he
las aroused on the one hand and the en-
nifty he has engendered on the other are
tributes to his virtue and motives.

TARIFF TRIM MING.
Why the Work Should Be Entrusted
to Republicans.


This is but an allusion to a phase OF
what the Republican party, as it exists,
is doing and is going to do. particular
phase TO which reference is made. cas,l-
ally, rs to the regulation of the tariff in
the future. Those who make things
know best what to do with the things
they have made. The Republican party
having made the tariff. which has made
this country the most prosperous of all
the countries OF all the world. is the
only party which can readjust the tariff
as occasion may demand.
Naturally, and very properly. from
their point Of view, the opponents of the
Republican party concede nothing. AS a
preliminary. they claim the tariff is Il
monster of some sort: that it is bad and
has been ever bad. Nevertheless, under
certain existent circumstances it seems
to have worked well, and our great trade
adventures and our manufacturers and
our farmers and our workmen fatten I'M
der this same tariff.
So goes the present situation. Where
has been exhibited intelligence should not
intelligence be exhibited in the future?
The party which has made the tariff is
the party which will revise the tariff
under the suggestions of common sense,
as occasion may demand.
So potent have been the results of the

Senator Stewart of Nevada Secs the
Great Light.


Senator Stewart OF Nevada, the last
of the Siiverites, has seen the great
white light. His visions are those of
Joseph and the seven fat years. His talk
is of minerals and Nevada, and the bless,
ings Of the Dingley tariff on boraN and
wool. He said:
president Roosevelt is very popular
i'll the mountain States Of the West.
Through his influence the irrigation law
was passed. The Dingley tariff is a
great blessing to the far West. The
tariff on lead, borax, Wool and hides is
especially beneficial TO the interior noun
tain States. The people of Nevada are
beginning to realize that the silver ques-
ton has been relegated to the rear as a
result of the enormous output OF gold
during the last eight years. Those voters
who left the party on account of the
silver issue are returning and, with the
Democrats who desire practical good. are
uniting in support of the administration.

''The homecoming Of the special cor
respondents from the Far East recalls
an amusing incident concerning Eddie
Morphy," said one Of the old guard the
other day.
"Morphy was sent across to report
the carbohydrates war for one Of the
local papers. He was rated as star
and of course great things were ex-
pected of him. Days, weeks and even
months passed, but not a line Of news
came. The cable tolls on his appeals
for money, however, reached a consid-
cradle sum, and the managing editor
began to fret. Finally a request for
$500 reused the chief and the follow
ing reply was sent:
No stuff, no money"
To which Morphy responded:
No money. no stuff"
Morphy never came back, and he is
said to be doing well IN one OF the
Far Eastern countries.
