The Missouri Senatorship.

In selecting a man to succeed Mr.. Cock
rell in the Senate the Missouri republicans
have a duty of difficulty and Importance to
perform, and in the performance may be
answered the question as to whether the
state is to remain In the republican col
umn. The field of selection is good There
are many able republican politicians in the
state. and other men of that faith not occu-
pied with politics. who are equal to the re-
auirements of high Office. But 1t may be
said without detracting from the merits or
credit of any of them that the ablest of
them all could not hope. for time, to fill
the place that Mr.. Cockrell will vacate
Still the ablest of them all should be sent,
and the country assured that the new day
in Missouri means the best that the new
power has to offer.
1t is a far cry to 1878 Mr.. Cockrell came
to the Senate that year. and has continued
a member of that body ever since. That
means that in all those thirty years Mis-
souri, has been under democratic control
Here and there the republicans have car
ried city or town, have elected county
officers, and now and then a member or
two Of Congress. But the state as q state
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-12-08

has been democratic, and this has deprived
many able and am Jitious men of the otner
party OF opportunities for preferment-
But such men have been there. and are
there today. In 1889 the country had not
heard of John W. Noble. But General
Harrison had, and. wanting good man
for Secretary of the Interior, he called
Col. Noble to the place, and secured for
the country In the Missourian an excellent
national official. And when Mr. Mckinley S
time as President came he filled the same
Office from the state with a man as little
known to national life as Col Noble had
been. And Mr.. Hitchcock, as did Col. No
bio. met all the requirements of the office,
and is still holding it with credit to him
self
The man who comes will find, if he has
the ability to improve it, an exceptionally
fine field for labor. The Senate has easily
survived the sneers and filings of the foolish
and the superficial. 1t is, as everybody IA
miliar with the subject knows. body OF
thoughtful men, many OF whom rank with
the abest men of the English-speaking peo-
pies; and the newcomer, with the address
and the industry to fifty support his ef-
forts. should find himself as agreeably as
advantageously placed.

Legislation for the Philippines.

There seems good reason to believe that
important and pressing legislation for the
Philippines will be enacted at this session
of Congress. The need of it has been fully
demonstrated by both the President and
the Secretary of War, and the leading
members of the Senate and the House dis
cuss the recommendations with cordial ap-
prevail. Nothing received so humping a
sockdolager at the polls last month as the
yowling on the subject Of anti-imperialism
Scuttle as a national policy was knocked
out The flag in the Philippines was saluted
with such a discharge of ballots as has
seldom been recorded in our history. AS
we are to stay in the archipelago. therefore,
we should set the islands in the best of or
der, and bring their affairs as rapidly as
possible abreast of the times. We ourselves
will profit by every benefit bestowed upon
them

Europe on the Message.

Naturally, highly interesting feature
abroad of the Presidents message is that
relating to the navy. In England 1t is much
Iked-aCcepted, indeed, as matter OF
course The English have been brought up
on sweet MIN and salt water. and know Inc
value of good fighting ships and the neces-
sity of having plenty of them
In a cable from Berlin appears this para
graph expressive of German sentiment
"Those portions of the message are treat
ed indicating the development OF the
United States as a first-class naval power
with all-incluSive ambitions regarding the
western hemisphere. Although as one
paper remarks. 1T is not easy to harmonic
cannon and ethics, the President tries hard
to do So The contrasts are drawn between
the arbitration treaties being negotiated be-
tween the principal powers while the ship
building works and gun foundries were
never so busy.
1t is no more difficult now "to harmonic
cannon and ethics than it was hundred
years ago. Washington advised that In
order to avoid war we should be fully PIE
pared to prosecute it. That Is the whole
meaning of Roosevelt's policy and recon-
mendaton as to the army and navy. If we
have the big stick firmly grasped our soft
speech will not be misunderstood. Without
he big stick soft speech would be a matter
of necessity, and it might bring us into con-
tempt even in Germany.
From Paris comes this paragraph:
President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress is widely commented upon here The
Temps and the Journal deS DebatS devote to
ii leading articles of a rather critical tone
Both newspapers point out the extension of
the Monroe doctrine and the increasing roe
the United States is playing in international
affairs"
This also is amusing There has been M
extension of the Monroe doctrine. 1t ap-
plies no further now than when it was
FIST promulgated, and it means precisely
the same thing. The point is that the doc
trine takes on fresh significance from the
developments of recent years, and requires
greater power to emphasize it. We have
only extended our boundary lines to the
south. We are now In Porto Rico, and
have responsibilities in both Cuba and
Panama. This coupled with the new pos
sessions of Hawaii, Guam and the Philip
pines makes 1t absolutely necessary that
our navy be large, effective and up-to-date.
The people at the polls last month ex-
pressed themselves on the subject in a way
that left no doubt as to their feelings, and
had the President not himself been an adj
vocate of a larger navy would have left
him no choice in the premises.
Our increasing role in international af-
fairs" is the only role our increasing size
as power makes logical and becoming.
We have outgrown our cap and jacket.
Uncle Sam Is a grown man, with mans
ambition and purposes, and he intends TO
play a mans part to the best of his ability.
His rivals can afford to speak him fair.
But whether they do or not, he is in the
drama all the same.

Tolstoy and the Zemstvos.

Count Tolstoy, in opposing the Zemstvos
agitation for a parliament says:
Trhis movement. which is hailed as the
dawning of a new era of liberty. Is but a
new obstruction in the path of true prog
resS. The real uplifting of n people. socially
and SOvernmentally, can be attained only
through religious and moral regeneration
OF all The individuals constituting that peo-
pie.
Political agitation, whether by peaceful
propaganda or appeals to existing powers
OF government must have fatal effect
1t puts before the nation and before indi-
VidVals the pernicious belief that social i'm
provement can be wrought by mere change
OF forms-that substitution of different
kind of government amendment of the
existing kind can accomplish reforms
which to be effective and permanent must
begin with the Individual.
These movements. so frequent In history
and so natural under the false teachings
which have branded humanity invariably
hinder real progress toward peace justice
and love. Constitutional government is no
cure for the evils that affict mankind. For
proof Of this. point to conditions In
France, in England and in America"
These views are not likely TO influence
sentiment in Russia adversely 10 the desire
OF the people 10 participate in government.
Whatever is ought not to be. Is the keynote
OF Count Tolstoys philosophy. and it APP
bestowed attention. We should call him in
this country great kicker" He kicks at
everything-the established forms of art, of
government of religion-but Is very in
definite In the matter OF suggestions for i'm
provements.
We may take this as a sample of his
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-12-08

powers. He would uplift people through re-
Iigion. And yet he approves of no existing
form of religion. He is under the ban
of the Greek Church for his opposition to
its teachings and practices. The Roman
Church is quite as little to his liking, and
he has never sgnified sympathy with any
Protestant sect. He quotes the Savior, but
interprets Him according to Tolstoy. SO
that when he prescribes religious regenera-
ton for the people he means his own re-
ligion. The Russians must be converted TO
Tolstoyism before they will be ready to
perform worthily or intelligently any OF
the functions of citizenship.
Constitutional government in France In
England and in America is far from per-
feet, but it has performed the best services
for mankind of which there is any account.
The average intelligence of the people Is
higher. and they play their parts better,
than may be said of the people of any other
countries in the world. They passed through
much trbulation to obtain what they now
enjoy. The only preparation was that OF
adversely, which possessed sweet uses for
them When the forms of government I'M
der which they were living became intol-
cradle they threw them off for better or
their own construction. In America here
the people really rule; and in no other
quarter of the world does reigion-not the
vague Tolstoy dream-fourish as it does
where all forms of worship are permitted
and are protected.
The Russian people under Tolstoyism
would be in a worse condition than they
now are. There is something definite at
least about their present distress. and in
time they will rise out OF it. But under
rule of moonshine texts. no matter how
beautifully expressed, they would head no.
where and arrive nowhere.

OF course. neither the recommendation
of the President to enlarge the powers of
the interstate commerce commission so as
to establish railway rates or the disquiet-
ing tactics of Mr.. Lawson, calculated to
undermine confidence and create panic,
would have been successful but for the
weakened technical position of the stock
market.
Stocks were passing to weaker hands.
Pools in most issues were unable to make
progress. On every advance they were
flooded with stock and were becoming
water logged with stock. Traders had be-
come suspicious of the manipulation and

fully. Poor stocks were pushed forward

combed with stop orders. The technical

The Chadwick Operations

With Mrs. Cassie Chadwick under arrest
the mystery of her remarkable financial
operations may be more quickly solved 10
SAT- that this woman's transactions are
astounding is to state the matter mildly
The more the public learns of her methods
ann of the ease with which she circumvent-
ed, bankers and private capitalists, and vio-
lated the federal laws and led others to
similar violations, the more the wonder
grows The announcement that Mr.. An
drew Carnegie's name was on certain notes
which were given by Mrs. Chadwick as Sc
curity for her phenomenal borrowings was
one OF the first factors to convince the
public that a swindle had been perpetrated.
The claim that Mr.. Carnegie had signed
notes TO the amount of 81 10000 was of it
self direct suggestion of something wrong.
He needs no such sum of money as Dor
rover and If he did need II he would hardly
go TO a person such as Mrs. Chadwick to
obtain 1t. Furthermore, if he gave the
notes as an accommodation to enable the
woman to raise money on them, the trans
action would be singularly inverted. A
much more direct way would have been a
loan, secured to Mr.. Carnegie by Mrs.
Chadwick's notes. If she was capable of
loaning she was equally capable of giving
satisfactory security. But Mr.. Carnegie S
name appears as the maker of the notes,
palpably an absurdty. These notes seem
TO rhave been accepted at their face value
by bankers, whose first instinct should
have been to question them seriously. That
the woman used Mr.. Carnegies name raised
a reasonable suspicion, which if properly
tested ought to have put an end abruptly
tolher career as a mistress of finance. 1t
is to be hoped and believed that the in
vestigation of the case will lay bare the
full facts so that the business world may
take heed OF the warnings so emphatically
conveyed by them.
