Cannot Hurt Roosevelt.

There is something humorous in the
theory that the packinghouse trust
has forced a strike in order to injure
gestive Of biting off your nose to spite
your face" or Of saving off limb be-
tween yourself and the tree. It is
not the sort Of thing one would ex-.
pect from long-headed monarchs Of
trade, and it would have to be dis
missed as a silly story if it did not
come from Washington with so many
marks Of authenticity. 4
According to the correspondents,
the packers thought they had reason
to believe that their. appeal from
Judge Grosscup's injunction would
meet the usual delays in the supreme
court. The court would reach 1t In
the course Of a year or two, during
which time the companies would con-
tfnue unhindered In the lawful acts
complained Of. Then came the news
that this appeal was to begadyanced
on the calendar under orders from the
president, under the i recent act Of
congress for expediting proceedings In
trust cases. Whereupon the packers
served notice that they would make
no effort to prevent the impending
strike. The bluff had no effect on the
president, but It was carried out by
the 'big four" and the strike was al
lowed to proceed.
How is this going to hurt Roose-
welt? To be sure, the packers have
crease prices. Consumers are paying
more for their meat, and they are
murmuring discomfort. But this feel:
ing cannot be directed against the
government by any manner of reason
ing. The public knows where to lay
the responsibility for the strike. The
resentment Is all against the greedy
magnates Of the trust. If there is any
/ thought of Roosevelt in that connec,
tion it is to his credit, because he
started the proceedings to break VI
/ this ubiquitous monopoly. The trus
has earned the enmity of the public
and all wish more power to the arm
Of the president.

HUNGARIAN MUSICAL PRODIGY

Somewhat shocking to the moral sense
of many Americans, and doubtless to
many lin Europe, will appear the picture
the author has made. It is a large canvas
and painted with the painstaking skill of
the conscientious realist. It has its weak
places, for example, in certain marked in
constituencies in Dorothea's character. But
tits a strong picture, tho not one for
babes, and in the end teaches, tho perhaps
mot with sufficient vehemence, that "the

What the Japanese Are After.

The ultimate purpose of the Jap
anese in the present war, so far as the
seizure of land is concerned, is becom-
ing apparent from recent develop
rnents in Manchuria.
Early in the invasion Of Manchuria,
especially after the crossing of the
Yalu, there was much talk Of the
Japanese moving on to Mukden and
even to Hardin. But this was wild
talk. Conservative observers could
not believe that the Japanese would
undertake a campaign or series of
campaigns that would require such
tremendous armies, such widespread
operations and such enormous ex-
penses In a war for so much territory
against power so great as
conservative believed the Japan
csc would push out to some
good line of natural defenses suff-
GENTLY far north of Port Arthur, and
there establish line of defense
across the Liao-tung peninsula, and
make their stand against the Slavs,
leaving the latter to take the offensive
thereafter, on the theory that such a
position would more than offset the
Russian advantage in numbers, and
therefore put the Japanese on more
than an equal footing because of their
nearness to their home bases of sup
plies and men, and ultimately give the
Japanese what they are after-Port
Arthur and the control of the yellow
sea together with Korea.
This seems to be just what the
Japanese are doing. Having taken
the Yalu, their armies moved on to
the range of mountains thru which
the gateways are the Ia, the Molten
and the Fen-shui passes. It was
predicted that having captured these
passes, they would press on to strike
Kuropatkins left flank or to cut of
his base at Mukden. Instead, how.
ever, they seem to have stopped the
advance with the seizure Of this
range of mountains extending clea1
across the peninsula, and devoted
their attention to making secure
Gordon across the peninsula. Thi
seems to have been completed by TIL,
junction Of the wings of Nodzu's ant
Oku's armies and by the capture o
Yin-kow, the port of Niu-chuang, Civ
Ing control Of the Lao river.
There is a big dip In the line to
ward Port Arthur at Ta-tche-kiac
4 where Kuropatkin now is. Whethe
this is due to the topography of tn
country or to the fact that the Rus
slams got thru too quickly for tn
Japanese, cannot be guessed fror
maps at hand. But even If Kuropat
Kin has an advantage in being sout
Of the line of defense the Japanes
seek to establish, it would be unsaf
for him to move much farther wit
the constant menace of the Japanes
on his tanks in commanding posi-
items, for the Japanese, being In cor
troll Of Yin-kow and the Lao rive
could strike on the Russian right q
we'll as on the left from the mour
tains.
This theory of the situation is ful
ther borne out by the fact that til
Japanese have been carefully Ell
trenching in front Of Kuropatkin, al
parently making the weakest point
their chain as strong as possible.
This plan of the war would accom-
for the fact that the Japanese hay

Music and Profit at Lake Harriet.

The park board, it seems to U.S. is.
too easily discouraged. The fact that
the music. at Lake Harriet does not,
yield revenue, but on the other hand
shows small deficit, is not serious.
when all the circumstances are con-;
sidered. The deficit is small, which
is all the stronger reason for keeping
a stout heart. The parks are not run
for revenue, and the park board, as
representative Of the people, Is not ex
pected to measure the good 1t can do
to the entire community by the
amount Of pavilion receipts at Lake
Harriet.
OF course 1t would be pleasant if
the Harriet accounts would be made to
balance. That they have failed to do
SO this season is in part due to the
weather and in part to the wretched
acoustics Of the pavilion. So far as
the weather is concerned, there should
be no more complaint this year. The
faulty construction, however, should
receive attention at the proper time.
Meanwhile, let the music be continued
and give the public the benefit Of it.
The park board is expected to provide
the public with the largest possible
opportunity for such pleasure and re-
creation as are afforded by the woods
and lakes and beautiful driveways.
Music at Lake Harriet properly comes
within the scope Of the boards duties,
and the question Of cost should not
be too seriously considered.

faith In their loyalty to the doctrines Of

He is an excellent judge Of the value;

Of the large Milwaukee dailies, where
he was engaged in the advertising de-
partment for a number Of years; his
attention being given mainly to, the
handling of the foreign business.
For the past five years he has been
