Spirit of the Press
The President and Mr.. Morgan.

New York World.
Mr. j. Pierpont Morgan's name now
leads all the rest in the list of those
whom President Roosevelt has
smoothed down and placated. The
last crease in Mr.. Morgan's hostility
to the administration is said to have
been ironed out by the deft and ex-
perienced hand of the President, and it
is now reported that the great finan-
cier will cordially support Mr.. Roose
velt's candidacy.
And why not, pray? Why should not
Mr.. Morgan support Mr.. Roosevelt?
Surely, the President has given enough
hostages to high finance to merit or
gained capitals most distinguished
consideration.
The street reports have it that part
of the pacifying influence might be
found in the fact that the administra-
ton turned over to Mr.. Morgan's firm
the business of arranging the details
of the Panama Canal transfer. Bust
ness is business and a commission Of
one per cent. on $40,000,000 amounts
to 100000 but this is an unnecessar-
lily sordid view of the new relations
between the President and Mr.. Nor
gan. 1t is too suggestive or the mar
ket-place, and we may be sure that
the political influence of the transac-
ton is exaggerated
Other considerations must nave
moved Mr.. Morgan, and one need not
seek far to find them. Did not the
President gleefully accept the Penn
sylvania compromise by which the
trust busting Attorney-General Knox
was transferred to the Senate. Dld
he not appoint Mr.. Paul Morton, one
of the Vice-Presidents of the Santa e.
to the office of Secretary OF the
Navy? Did he not select Mr. victor ::
Metcalf, one of the political agents OF
the Southern Pacific, for the oIIlce
of Secretary of Commerce ana La
Dor? Has not Mr.. Knox's promise that
the administration would not run
amuck" in it's pursuit of the trusts
been faithfully and scrupulously
kept?
True, the President smashed the
Northern Securities Company; put
none of the other 440 trusts mas lelt
the weight of the mailei hst. Ihere
has been no interference with any u
the combinations whose eXactlons anu
eXtortions touch the daily ll1e OIL me
people. An injunction that mas nor
enJolned was obtained against tle Decl
trust; but that benevolent lnsllIuti'l
has since pursued the noIseleSs lellol
of its way precisely as it ana pe1oIc
was hurled at it's head. Ii more eVl-
dence OF, Mr. Roosevelt's good 1nteh-
tons is required one need only nolnt
to the fact that he is standing pat
on the Dingley tariff, behind Whlcn
five-sixths of the Industrial trusts are
safely sheltered.
Mr.. Morgan would be a Vihoictlve'
unforgiving soul if he allowed loLiil-
er difference Of opinion to aneildte Mn ~.

pIiment mist he Irresistible. Even

failure to enforce the 14th amendment
lies with Congress and not with the
States. But unless Rhode Island has
recently changed her constitution, upon
the present legal status the only
States whose representation can be
lawfully reduced are Massachusetts
and Rhode Island and perhaps some
other Northern States-unless 1t be
conceded that States may constitution
ally deny to the colored races the right
to vote"
Commenting upon this legal view OF
the reduction of Southern representa-
ton. the Star editorially says:
"This view of the Republican plat
form by a man of Governor Russell S
prominence in the Republican party IN
the South will attract more than orol-
nary attention in the North, as Wen dS
iu the South. 1t raises questions Whlch
are new to any current discussion OF
the plank which proposes to cut down
Southern States in the Electoral Col
lege and in Congress.
Governor Russell was for many
years q member of the North Carolina
judiciary and ranks among the most
eminent lawyers in the State. he was
elected Governor by the Republicans
in 1896 and served the four years term
ending in 1898, when he was succeed
ed by the Hon. Chas. b. Aycock, who
was elected by the Democrats.
1.-The questions raised by Governor
Russell will specially interest the Jul
dietary and legal fraternity through

are of general interest because his
opinion is that the declaration of the
Republican platform on the reduction
of Southern representation is mar

Daniel l.. Lamont, who is spoken of
as the Democratic candidate for Gov

by the New York American:
"New York is going Democratic;
there seems no doubt of it. | am as
sure of such a result as / ever was of
anything before it really happened.
All Democrats who fell outside the
ranks eight years ago have come back
and the tendency of the independent
vote all is toward Parker.
"And, speaking of Judge Parker,
what a great big man he is. | have
known him all my life. We were born
in houses in sight of each other, and
we grew up together, our ages being

mistaken optimism. In my opinion
it would be better'for Republican lead

What Will the war Cost japan ?

AS to the total amount of war ex-
expenditure, that obviously depends
on the number of soldiers and sailors
engaged on the area of the field Of
operations, as well as on its nearness
or distance from the home country !:
on the number Of battles, and on the
length of the war in point of time.
Keeping in mind all these more or less
indefinite factors, find it impossible
to indicate anything like the exact
amount which Japan will need for the
present war. Yet, judging from ex-
perience since the Crimean War, the
Austro-Italian War, the war in which
Denmark was engaged, the Franco
German War, and the Transvaal war
an approximate estimate may be
given.
The average monthly expenditure
In those wars, for an army of 100000
men, ranged from minimum of
Sl2 ,000, 900 to a maximum of S25, ,000, 900
excepting that of the Austro- Prussian
War expenses. In our own war against
China, in the years 1S9I.95, we spent,
every month, on the average, the sum
of s5,50O,OO0 Since then, the price of
goods has risen both in Japan and in
Manchuria. The armies we employ
in the present campaign are much
larger than those we sent against the
Chinese. What is more, being unable
to utilize for the present war the
organization and plans OF operations
which suited well enough for the cam.
paign of 1S04-95, we had to make com.
pletely new arrangements for the
operations now in progress against
the Russians. Taking, then, expert
ence in Europe since the Crimean
War, and our own experience in the
war against China, it may be said that
we're Japan to send 100000 soldiers to
Manchuria at the present time, their
support for each month would cost
Sl2, 100000. We must also keep in
mind the naval operations of the
war: expenditure for this purpose
will amount, per month, to 50, 900, 900
I'm the years 1s94.95, we spent, every
month on an average, the sum OF
81 800 ,O00.)
Itthus appears that the war ex,
penditures for the year beginning las,
April and ending next March will
amount to SlS6,OO0, 600: and as the
governments estimate of the war ex.
penditure for the fiscal year is Sl90
