Increasing Independence.


More and more the greatest newspapers
of the country arc exhibiting a spirit of
political Independence. The latest example
OF this increasing attachment to real
progress and TO right rather than to party
is afforded by the Chicago Tribune the
most powerful Republican newspaper Of
tho Middle West. which Is earnestly sup
porting Joseph W. Folk, the Democratic
candidate for Governor Of Missouri. 1t
says
Mr.. Folk should be elected unanimous
ly. Republicans should unite with Demo-
Gratis In voting for the man who has made
the splendid record he has. The Republic
ans are no less Interested than the
Democrats in the suppression of corrup-
ton in Missouri. That is tho great State
issue which Is before the people at the
coming election. Republicans should fol-
low Mr.. Folk unQuestioningly, for he Is
the best man to lead In the antiboodie
war"
The key to the Tribunc's policy IL found
in Its immovable opposition to boodIers
and boodling rings in and out Of its own
party and Its determination to support
In the interests Of the public honest and
able men, whatever party they may be-
long to.
Such a position is tn. ideal one for an
independent and influential newspaper,
and the Times hopes to see 1t taken by
many newspapers which have not yet had
the courage to break away from trammels
which, at times. bind them to the sup
port of bad men and the advocacy OF
dangerous measures. The true Office Of
the public Journal IL to stand for honest

CHINESE
MONETARY
REFORM

Washington Nov. 2l.-The report Of
the commission on International exchange
regarding It's work during the past year
has been submitted TO Secretary Hay and
given by him 10 the public. The work
done during the year covers investiga-
tions I'm connection with the reform OF
the monetary systems OF China and the
establishment OF a new monetary system
IN the Republic OF Panama.
There are submitted also some data
showing a tendency toward greater sta
bilty in the price Of silver bullion, APP
parently as result Of the direct action
OF governments with whom the commits
sion conferred last year. especially OF the
British government in connection with
the currency OF India.
This has tended, IL is declared. TO pro-
duce greater stability OF exchange and
thus to diminish one Of the obstacles to
trade between the gold countries and the
silver using countries
The report is signed by three commits
sioners-Hugh II. Hanna. Charles A.
Conant and jeremiah w. Jenks--but the
greatest emphasis is laid upon the spe-
cial mission OF Prof. jerks To China TO
present TO the imperial government a
report on the work done In Europe i'm
1902 and to render any further assistance
desired by the Chinese government in
compliance with its request TO the United
States.
As soon az his credentials were pre-
sented To the government at Pekin Mr..
jerks asked permission. before tsking
up the detailed consideration OF the sub
iect with the imperial government. TO
spend some time I'm visiting the more
important treaty ports. as we'll as some
~ the interior provinces. In order TO
study business conditions.
The imperial government not merely
gave it's consent. but notified officials
along the route chosen regarding the In .
tended visit and aided the cmomissioner
I'm every way possible in making his OBJ
servations.
The result of these Investigations and
discussions were that many new ideas
regarding conditions i'm China and what
was practicable for China were secured !:
that i'm many cases misconceptions re-
Rarding the nature OF the reform and
Of the plans under discussion were re-
moved and that the experience secured
and the knowledge Sained enabled the
comm ssioner to understand much more
readily the attitude Of the higher Chinese
officials toward their old system and the
proposed new system.
