Well Defined Fear Expressed in Ger
MANY.

Berlin. Feb. 13.-The position Of the Ger
man government respecting the Russo
japanese far IS well defined. IL IS exact
neutrality IN act, but IN sentiment II IS
sympathetic toward Russian pred0ml-
nance IN China rather than japanese pre-
dominance there.
The common talk I'm ministerial quar-
tiers is that this Is not a simple contest
for territory tn Korea or ManchuF1aB DQt
rather q combat OF civilization or race
ideals and if one must choose between
the white and the yellow, Germany
stands By the white.
Cause For Complaint.
The government here is conscious that
Russia has not acted wisely ana tllat
japan has sufficient reasons for making
war. and especially that after the emma
Japanese war in 1894 Japan was advised
to give up Port Arthur and that Russia
took possession OF this place. Germany
recognizes also that other powers nave
cause for complaint in that Russia did
not keep her promise to eVacuate Man.
chuTta, ana that among these powers Is
Germany, which holds opinions Identical
with those Of the United States concern
ing the "open door" The foreign office
has this week expressed this view TO the
state department at Washington But
beyond these considerations there are
according To very high German official
greater considerations OF craftsmanship
which prompt Germany 10 withhold Its
sympathy from Japan and 70 hope that

Japanese victory is believed by this
official to mean that japanese influence
would be supreme in China ana that tnt

He believes also that territ0rially and
economically Great Britain, Germany anC
the United States would, in the event OF

studying the problem of material for good roads
in various parts of the country The department is

Secretary Wilson at the recent good roads con-

STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS.

highly interesting legal issue is that which has
gust arisen between member Of the New York stock
exchange and the trustee in bankruptcy Of the failed
firm of which he was member-the question whether
exchange except by the officers of that body itself
Judge Holt Of the United States district court has
ruled in favor of the trustee by issuing an order d
recting Edward Sanford Hatch ito execute re-
quest" to the New York stock exchange to sell his
seat and turn the proceeds over to the trustee in
bankruptcy for the benefit Of the failed firm credit
OTs.
1t is clear of course that under the statute the
personal other property of partner can be held,
within certain limitations for the benefit of failed
firms creditors. But a stock exchange seat is a
peculiar sort Of property The exchange itself is
not an incorporated body-can not sue or be sued.
And if Mr. Match were to obey this court order and
ask the exchange officers to sell his seatt is extremely
doubtful if under the circumstances, anybody could
be found who would buy it. for the simple reasonthat
the exchange might refuse fatty to grant the pur-
chase membership in its organizations and no court
could compel it to do so. In fact the governors of
the stock exchange have always maintained that
saats or membership in the board are not property
IN the commonly accepted version of the term. The
only money received by the exchange upon the trans
fer Of seat is the $1,000 initiation fee required of

MIGHTY LAME ARGUMENT.

For some weeks past those 0regonians who read
the Portland 0regonian have been afflicted with a
class of campaign thunder that is highly ridiculous
Day after day we have been assured that Oregon
iorty because Oregons election is the first to be held
IN the country and the result would be encouraging
IN other states and thereby be of great assistance to
the party in the coming national election Repub-
icans have been urged to get out and work for 90
900 majority and even the state committee has taken
up the Oregonians cry and voiced its plea.
Oregon ought to give 100000 majority for the state
republican ticket If it doesn't give 10000, it ought
to give 10000. A republican victory is desirable,
and highly probable for a variety of reasons. Re
publicans should vie with each other to make the
majority as great as possible. This admits of no
argument from the standpoint of the republican
party.
But the Oregonians excuse that Oregon should
give big republican majority because of the effect
which such majority might have elsewhere is the
verest rot The people of Oregon will soon be called
upon to elect state officials and the various coun-
ties to fill the offices which become vacant July l.
There is nothing of national significance in the eec
ton The people are called upon merely to choose
good men, and if the nominees of the republicans in
the various counties are deserving of support the
Oregonian is disgracng them by setting up the plea
for support of the ticket on the ground that rous
ing majority would help President Roosevelt. The
idea that the republicans have other to bid
for support is absurd the plea is so weak that it
will hurt the ticket everywhere in the state.
If the state committee knows why it is adyocat-
ing the principles of the republican party it will
call off the Oregonian and demand that it support
the state and county tickets on the substantial
ground that, the candidates being worthy Of office,
they should be elected because they are republicans,
standing for principles which are too well known to
be here enumerated. When it comes around to the
presidential election Oregon will do the right thing
by President Roosevelt, In the meantime, it is dis
graceful to acknowledge that there are no local
reasons for the election of the state and county
tickets y n st

A fact that may have considerable significance
in connection with the divorce problem has just been
brought to light in the English official record Of
judicial statistics for 1902 namely that out of 1850
suits in that year for dissolution of the marriage tie
49, or nearly half were cases where there had been
no children by the marriage. That children form a
strong tie to bind parents together is fact of com
knowledge, but that childless marriages in them
selves tend to the divorce court seems fair inference
from these statistics.
