Parker are the very antithesis of
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt has ever
been the advocate of strenuous
life, encouraging the combative
qualities of the people, both in his
literary productions and in his
political speeches. So we'll is this
known that there is a well ground
ed fear in business circles through
out the country that the election
of Mr.. Roosevelt to the presidency
will involve our country in foreign
complications and war; and that
the strenuous character OF the pres
ident, added to his over-zealoue
ambition to become one of the
greatest executives in American
history practically forecasts series
OF international complications that
can only be settled by the arbitra-
ment of the sword.
Roosevelt pitifully ignores the
true grandure of these United
States. Its historic position has
been that of a living protest against
both the burdens and methods oil
militarism. America has believed
in the cogency of sound reasoning
in the appeal to humanity; in thu
self-witnessing sanctions OF ever
lasting justice. But Roosevelt
tells US that the argument of thu
pike and gun is the only argument
that counts. The only way to SO
cure your rights is to kill, or threat
to kill someone. In his letter o

Music In the eyes Of the Japanese is
a very inferior art, the general belief
being that the combination Of sounds
may possibly please women and chill
dren, but that a japanese gentleman
could not possibly tolerate them, NO
matter under what pretext In fact. It
was not very long ago that the profess
sion of musician was considered by the
Japanese as being an insult to human
dignity, and, whereas there have ex-
listed for centuries popular songs which
water carriers and the workers In the
rice fields sang In chorus - we'll ~
war songs sung by the sailors. the pro-
fession Of musician has been considered
unworthy Of any man and has been ex'

feriority that she has been allowed to

to the front. Many have tried, but it
has generally been painfully apparent
that they were not big enough Tor the
job Mr.. Williams is If anything,
he is too big. He is not of the type
of the oldtime Southern statesman,
but OF a better type; he represents
the New South, which is American to
a degree which the rest of the coun-
try may not yet appreciate. Nobody
can say definitely what will happen,
with a strong New York man in the
White House, a strong man from the
Middle West in the Speakers chair,
and a strong SOutherner on the floor
OF the House, but the usual sequence
of a combination of that sort is the
development of more strong men
among the following of the various
leaders. Some Of the leaders of the
past have acted as brakes rather than
as drivers. They have given their
minds to preventing other people
from doing things, rather than to do
ing things themselves. These three
men of today seem likely to do other

from the fact that Russia never has
encouraged foreign travel by making
tourists welcome. The object OF this
railway, then, was to enable Russia
to pour colonists into Manchuria and
Eastern Siberia, and transport large
bodies of troops to the East in case
of need. She had not at the begin
ming of the war as large a force in
the East as she might have had If
hOstilities had been fOreseen, because
Manchdria is as yet in no condition
to support a large army for an in
definite time. Five or even three
years from now. things might have
been different, for Russia has been
constantly encouraging the migration
Of peasant farmers to the wheat lands
of Manchuria, and the grain-produc-
ing capacity of the country would
have been immensely increased with
in a few years. But that was pre-
cisely what the Japanese chose not
to wait for. The consequence is that
even now famine is threatened in
Manchuria, and if half a million more
troops should arrive, every bushel of
grain for their sustenance would
have to be brought over the railway,
in cars badly needed for troops. 1t
is a bad fix TO be in.
The carrying capacity of the rail-
way is limited. The accommodations
for wealthy travellers are said to be
superb, far superior to our own Pull
man cars; but gorgeous fittings are
not worth so much in time of war as
great number of cattle cars, in
which troops can be packed and grain
transported. If Russia cannot solve
the transportation problem, she may
as well give up the game altogether
