which throws the primary load OF respon-
sbility on the other side. Japan's troops
were landed in Korea to forward the main
object of the war. namely, the mainte-
nance of the independence and territorial
integrity of Korea. To point the answer
Japan calls attention to the fact that Rus
sia's troops had already occupied Man
churia without the consent and against tine
wishes of the Chinese government, where
as the Japanese troops were in Korea with
the direct consent of Korea. Russia may
retort that the Korean consent was OBJ
tained under duress. That is to be proved.
1t is world-known fact that Russia re-
manned in Manchuria in specific violation
of treaty obligations and formal promises
to withdraw.
Japan has somewhat the better of the
controversy as the case stands. Russia
was in Manchuria without right and threat
ened Korea ard ultimately Japan. Refus-
ing to give satisfactory guarantees for the
future integrity of Korea, Russia laid her.
self liable to an attack by Japan. She was
taken completely by surprise by her agile
and efficient enemy and sought to divert
attention from her discontinue and unpre-
paredness by shifting the immediate issues
and charging Japan with bad faith. She
would do well to drop these fiimsy charges
and proceed diligently to the real war

The President and His PARTY.

And now we are told. upon the authority
of Ex-Governor Crane of Massachusetts,
quoted in New York. that Mr.. Roosevelt
will leave the selection of the campaign
manager to the republican national COM
mittee. Custom authorizes him to choose
the man. If this line is pursued the Presi-
dent will destroy the character with which
his enemies have invested him. A leader
with a passion to be 1.-THE whole thing
should play the part. A few days ago we
were told that he would offer no suggestion
to his running mate. but would leave
that to the republican national convention.
Can 1t be that the man is simply an aspir-
ant to succeed himself in the White House,
and Is willing to put his case unreservediy
into the hands f his party's organization?
A rather tame boss this? The Presidents
party. 1t is asserted. does not trust him at
all. and yet here he is trusting the party

The Weight Of the Loaf

A vigorous prosecution of all bakers who
make and sell short-weight bread is prom
iseo under ruling of the corporation
counsel that the law permits the searching
or delivery wagons and the examination of
STOCK In stores in an effort to detect viola
tions of the prescribed size of the loaf
The present high price of wheat has re-
suited in corresponding increase in the
price of flour. and some of the bakers if is
charged, are cutting off smaller loayes than
the law demands, in order to recoup. This
Is distinctly dishonorable procedure and
one which warrants the utmost severity of
repression. If the market price for wheat
and flour advances to such a stage that the
cost of the loaf should in equity to the
bakers be advanced to six cents there would
be no ground in the law on which to base
protest. however the change In price
might affect the poor. 1t is to be hoped
that the bakers will not find themselves
compelled thus to change their rate Some
years ago they undertook to do this when
the wheat market took a sudden upward
turn, but it was clearly proved that their
increase of twenty per cent more than COM
pensated for the extra cost of flour. which
is only one of the elements which enter into
the composition. Rents. labor and other
the net result of one-cent advance in the
loaf price gave the bakers a heavy advan-
tage. The public was soon made aware of
the situation by means OF uncontrovertible
statistics and sentiment arose which
forced the bakers to yield from their arbi-
trary and unjust exaction. There is no law
governing the price of the loaf In the ma
ture of conditions of life today it is mpos-
sible to regulate the price of such commod-
ties by law. But the law can prescribe the
weight OF a loaf and thus insure against
fraud. II the baker charges six cents a
loaf for bread the buyer must be guaran-
teed that this loaf contains a certain num-
Der of ounces, and none the less if five
cents are charged. In other words. the law
fixes the weight and market conditions.

the District authorities intend to see to
their end Of the case.

The Springfield Mob.

The mob at Springfield, Ohio. continued In
control of the town yesterday and last
night, and its second chapter was in keep
ing with it's first. Having set the law
aside, it proceeded to conduct affairs in its
own way. All distinctions were lost in the
passion Of the hour, and the innocent paid
heavy tribute. The rope and the pistol Of
the night before were now supplemented
with the torch, and the merry war against
order and society went on. The homes of
hundreds of innocent people were given
to the flames, and the town itself was put
In peril. OF course. the mob took no thought
of the direction and velocity of the wind
knew nothing about the condition of the
fire department, cared nothing about conse-
quences. If anybody had suggested that
setting fire to the negro quarter might mean
the destruction of the whole of Springfield
he would probably have been taken for a
sympathizer with the murderer Dixon, and
have lost his life. 1t is hundred to one
that the creatures who lighted that fire
were loafers and bar room buns, who
owned not a dollars worth of property in
the world. What cared they for expenses /?
They were discharging their duty as cham
pions of civilization
The mayor of Springfield, it appears. did
everything in his power to prevent the
lynching of Dixon. He is quoted as fol-
lows:
Il called up Sheriff Routzan last evening
and asked him if he expected any trouble
He replied that he had no fear what
ever of mob violence. When 1 learned a
mob had collected at the Jail I sent for
Chief of Police O'Brien 1 asked him to
send squad of officers to the jail, and L
had every man on the force on duty
called on Major T. j. Kirkpatrick of the ID
Ohio Regiment, who frankly said the
mlitiamen did not want to turn out to
guard the Jail. They said they might be
compelled to shoot their friends"
Major kirkpatrick and his men could see
nothing but the murderer in the whole
matter, when, a truth, he was of no con-
sequence whatever in comparison with what
was at stake. In guarding the Jail the SOL
diers would have been guarding the whole
town-every man, woman and child and
every dollar Of property in it. The impera-
tive need of the law was an assertion of au-
thor1ty; and had that been promptly made
with all that it disclosed and implied, the
probability is that the mob would have dis
persed Had Springfield been reduced to
ashes last night, Major Kirkpatrick and
his men. who probably own homes there
would have had borne in upon them the
true character of their behavior Monday
night
Soldiers are at last on the scene. Rut
they are outsiders. Springfield, refusing to
protect herself. has by good fortune escaped
destruction, and the state Is now in charge.

quent. 1t is, of course. impossible to ex-
pect the complete elimination Of the pistol
But the moment it becomes impossible for
a man or boy to buy a gun save by pre-
senting himself with a witness to the
court to withstand judicial scrutiny and
questioning or by running the police gaunt-
let to obtain it by heavily penalized means,
the practice is certain to be abandoned In
very large proportion. Certainly no long
er can the suddenly Infatuated man. or the
man with the steadily rising Jealousy or
hatred, or the crazy man, or the 1ntoxl-
Gated man, procure in a few minutes
weapon at any hardware or secondhand or
sporting goods store for very small sum-
The great object in this reform is to in
terpose substantial check upon the man
who Is looking for a weapon. That done,
by means of some such system Of permits
as has been described, the number of wea-
pom owners will grow steadily less and the
number of pistol crimes also.

Japan's Reply.

The reply of the Japanese government
to the Russian official complaint as to the
japanese practices at the outset of the
present war is in the main a straightfor-
ward denial of the Russian allegations.
Thus. Japan denies that she cut the Ko-
rean governments telegraphic communica-
lions and stopped the delivery of the Rus
sian cablegrams to the commanders OF the
two vessels which were attacked at Che
muipo. thus preventing them from learning
OF the outbreak of hostilities. Japan also
denies absolutely the charge that she de-
clared to the Emperor of Korea that Korea
would thenceforth be under the Japanese
administration, with warning that the
Japanese troops would occupy his palace
In case OF noncompliance Japan further
more denies point-blank that she summarily
ordered the Russian representative at
Seoul to leave the country. adding de-
tails In confirmation which Indicate that
on the contrary that representative ex-
pressed a desire to leave Korea and was
granted an escort of Japanese troops for
safety. SO much for the explicit denials.
Two other points remain for the Japanese
reply to cover. One Is In relation to the
seizure of Russian merchantmen by ia
panese warships before the opening of
hostilities. Japan meets this assertion by
declaring that she has constituted a prize
court with full authority to pronounce
finally on the legality of all seizures. She
must be trusted to render exact justice
The United States conducted such court
during the war with Spain and maintained
even balance between rightful and
wrongful captures. Japan will probably
do as much. and If Russia takes issue with
her decisions there remain the usual peace

Russia's Real Grievance.


Russia's real grievance with the United
States is the American intolerance of lying.
The lie is by Russia regarded as the
choicest jewel of diplomacy. She has used
it as the most successful instrument of her
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT By its adroit
ma nipulation she has overthrown constitu-
tions dissolved nationalities, made treaties
of no account BY liberal lying she has
built up prestige for power on land and
sea far beyond the reality; but in which
shocking holes have been knocked by the
japanese. Her diplomats and statesmen
have received recognition in proportion to
their skill in Justification. She even pre-
ferred a falsifier in finance over the truth
full White. The art on which most of all
she prides herself we hold in contempt.
Not only that, but we have let her know
our views with not the slightest attempt
at diplomatic concealment. If she wants
our good will she will change her principles
of action, substitute truth for lying JUS
tice for aggression. She will dismiss her
Plehves and Pobiedonostzeffs, and employ
truth telers in their places. But that
would be to sound the death knell of the
Russian bureaucracy

The brutal and cowardly murder of a
negro prisoner In Springfield, Ohio, per-
mitted by a pusillanimous sheriff and an
inefficient or fsithless police force might
we'll be compared with the recent treat
ment of a like crime threatened In Mis-
sissippi to the sore dscredit OF the north
ern community. The only shadow of pal
lation for the authorities Of Springfield
is that they underestimated the fury Of
their fellow-citixens, and did not stop them
when 1t would have been easy. That does
not relieve the authorities of responsibility
for failing to stop the murderous and das-
tardly gang later, when. indeed, 1t would
have been more difficult but when a de-
cent degree Of courage and firmness would
