A HARMFUL ALLIANCE.

The empress dowager of China has
displayed good sense in vetoing the
proposition made by some of her adj
visers that an open alliance be formed
between Japan and China. Both coun-
tries would lose much and gain moth
ing by permitting the neutral powers
to believe that they seriously consid-
cred such an alliance. It is probable
that Japan had nothing to do with the
making of the proposition, for her min
listers are astute enough to realize that
much depends on her continuing to
retain the confidence of the neutral
nations There has never been any
reason to doubt her good faith in the
attitude she has assumed toward China,
and it is incenceivable that she would
now permit herself to take a step that
would cause her faith to be questioned.
An open alliance, no matter how little
it might mean, would provoke criti-
cism, be regarded as a menace by the

ROOSEVELT REFORMED.

One of the sponsors for Candidate
Roosevelt says that the man who will
go before the Republican convention
in Chicago is very different sort of
individual than the Theodore Roose-
welt who became president two and a
half years ago.
at is new Roosevelt we have now
a man who by self discipline has al
most made himself over and into an
other being" says the Chicago Record
Herald
Wherefore it becomes clear that Mr..
Roosevelt's friends are trying to make
1t apparent that he has lived down
his past. But the wisdom of this at
tempt is not very evident. If the truth
is stated, then those enthusiasts who
have chung to Theodore Roosevelt for
what he was have lost their ideal.
Whatever of actual popularity Col
Roosevelt attained to came because he
was himself: A self-sufficient young
man with a profound belief in himself,
a fine knowledge of the value of the
picturesque in impressing the public,

AS to Smallpox.
r of The Globe:

To the Editor of The Globe:
There are constant illusions in the daily
papers to the amount OF smallpox reported
in the state, and the weekly reports are
often ACCOMPANIED with remarks that tend
to spread alarm.
Now the people are. Notwithstanding the
impression of dread regarding this disease,
learning that it is many times a bless
ing. that in years when it is prevalent
there are very few fatalities from it, while
the deaths from Bother diseases are also
much fewer.
They are also learning that the intro
duction of poison, known as vaccine virus,
when it takes" is blood poisoning; that
many diseases follow in its wake (notably
diphtheria).
In the sanitary conference, at Mime
apoIis. it was stated by physician that
in this state there was a large increase
the past year in deaths from diphtheria.
This, Notwithstanding the use of anti
toxin (Which is simply another poison
like vaccine virus, except that 1t is cult
vated in a horse in place of calf).
the heading Death from Smallpox" an
nounces that there were sixty-tWo cases
of this disease in the state reported last
week, an increase over the previous week,
but they fail to say that there was only
one death in the whole state. Nor do
they seek TO allay peoples needless
fears by making known the fact that in
many weeks this year there has been only
one and in some cases two deaths; that
in the past two or three years, with >all
the talk and scare there has been about
smallpox the per cent of deaths of
those having it has been only a small frac-
ton of l per cent.
/ trust you will let your readers know
the truth in this matter and allay needless
alarm. Yours truly,
President Anti-Vaccination Society.

FURS STRUGGLED FROM
CANADA ARE SEIZED
Government Has Second Experience of
Kind With Same Firm.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
The treasury department today an
nounced that seizures of furs had been
made throughout the country which
had been smuggled from Canada. The
furs were purchased in good faith by
American tourists from firm in Mont
real. Canada, on the distinct under
standing that they would be delivered
in their homes in the United States
duty paid, this charge being included
in the price.
The United States government, hav-
ing no authority to take action against
the firm and recognizing the good faith
of the purchasers of the furs, has put
at the disposal of the purchasers
bringing suit against the firm the evil
dence in its possession. 1t has author
lied its employees to go to Montreal
when the cases are tried and testify in
favor of the American purchasers. In
every case, however, the furs have
been seized by the United States gov
eminent. Some of them have been re-
leased on the payment of the full
Canadian value and the duties added;
others are retained by the authorities
and will be sold at public auction. A
few years ago similar seizures were
made of furs purchased of the same
Canadian firm.

powers and cause public sympathy to

powers and cause public sympathy to
veer from Japan to Russia.
But China's restlessness is easily
understandable. She occupies about as
enviable a position as the dormouse who
sat between the mad halter and the
March hare at the tea table and was
constantly being poked up by one or the
other. She has the satisfaction Of
knowing, however, that the arms she
favors are winning, and therefore 1t
will not be SO difficult for her to obey
Isl Ans command to be patient and
maintain a firm attitude. It is the
wisest possible advice for Chinese SYM
pathlzers of Japan and for Japan it
self. Russia by her violation of the
neutrality agreement in regard to Chi
nese territory has again placed herself
in the position Of offender. With the
odds against her, as they now seem to
be, her willful disregard Of the agree
ment promises to have no serious re-
suit so far as China is concerned, but
it will add a little to that reputation
for bad faith and double dealing which
her enemies are so fond of deploring.
And the reputation is distinctly hurtful
to Russia.
It is she. therefore, who will be the
loser through her violation of the neu-
trality agreement If she goes too
far and seriously disturbs China, the
powers will call a halt and Japan will
receive from public opinion another pat
on the back for striving to preserve
for all nations the territorial and COM
mercial integrity of the East All this
the Japanese government must realize,
and therefore there is no reason for
suspecting her OF contemplating an
open alliance with China.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KAN
SAS?

Burton and his kind. That is what's
product of a state politically rotten, by
such corrupt means as would have
caused him to be rejected by any other
than the Republican body to which he
was elected. There never was any
doubt Of the methods employed to
bring about the election Of this man.
He was VIGOROUSLY corrupt, a time
serving seeker for plumber in ways
political. William Allen White, who
knew the conditions under which Bur
ton was elected, says of the man, in
the Chicago Tribune:
For dozen years before he went to
Washington as a senator from Kansas
he was professional candidate for
senatorial honors. He had served
term or two in the lower house of the
state legislature, where he openly So
licited brides and was charged dozens
of times in the newspapers of the state
with being a boodler, without the Slight
est resentment upon Burton's part.
Time and again perfectly reputable and
financially responsible newspapers have
charged Burton with violating every
obligation of life, social, moral, politi-
cal and financial, and he made no at
tempt to bring these newspapers to the
bar of justice.
1t was this same William Allen White
who asked the famous question,
whats the matter with Kansas" yet
he knew Burton, knew the elements
that were banded together to bring
about his election to the senate. He
knew that the Republican party of
Kansas was fairly represented by this
man. He knew, none better that Kan
sas was hotbed of political rotten
ness without an equal on this CONT
nent. And his question, whats the
matter with Kansas" might easily
have been answered.
It is not probable that Burton repre-
scented in any degree the majority of
the people Of Kansas. In spite of their
vagaries, their instability, they are not
essentially dishonest. They simply
lack ideals. But they are responsible
for Burton and his kind. They have
not demanded of the men they have
elevated to Office that standard of con-
duct which is generally held to in civ
ilized communities. They have per-
sisted in electing to legislative office
men of more than questionable char
acter. And Burton sprung from rotten
legislative timber, a fungus of huge
dimensions and hideous seeming.
What Kansas needs is a larger per-
centage of Republican politicians in
her prison population and not quite SO
much of Carrie Nation.

TIE GOSPEL OF PEACE.

The Rev. J. A. Fisher, of Cleveland,
The minority members of the flock
that has sat under his preaching for six
months past had their heads punched
too. The punching was INDUCED in by
a majority Of the church members,
muscular and militant churchmen who
disagreed with the preacher and the
minority as to the verify Of the doc
trines taught by the pastor. The exact
dogmatic differences which caused the
schism in the church have been lost
sight of in the general excitement of
the melee that followed the promulga-
ton of Mr.. Fishers heretical beliefs.
Though it is proper to frown upon
the resort to physical force which was
INDUCED in by the larger party in the
church, it must be conceded that, be-
ing the majority, they were in the
right. They made deal with the
preacher to preach to them a certain
brand of religion. He contracted to do
so. Within certain limitations he was
to be free in his expounding, but he
was to stay within those limits. And
he did not deliver the goods contracted
for. He conceived schemes of saliva
ton outside of the original plans.
u, To hi fro
putting his theories into effect outside
of the church, but when he undertook
to air his views in the pulpit owned
by other parties to the contract he
laid himself open to a justifable dis
charge. He did not justify his people
in climbing over their pews for the
purpose of upsetting the pulpit and
visiting condign punishment upon him.
He had subscribed to church govern
ed most democratically by the ma
jority, and he was due to get out, but
he was not due to get his head punched.
The incident goes to show that we
have not advanced very much in the
matter of religious tolerance-excep in
large matters We have rather
friendly regard for the man who wholly
disbelieves everything we beheve-in
fact, we are willing to spend our own
money to the end that he shall be fed
and clothed while he is being brought
to see the error of his ways. But for
the fellow who. having shared our
hymn book. announces that he has
changed his views as to the liturgy,
we have nothing but contempt qualified
by desire to punch his nose-burning
him at the stake being out of the ques-
ton.

problems without argument, and a very
sentiment. He was put upon a pedestal
as a sort of hero, a composite Buffalo
ill-Abraham Lincoln Gen. Grant, re-
fined by generations of mingiing with
exclusive society.
But he was regarded with some dis
may by certain persons who look for
statesmanlike qualities in chief mag
istrate. These captious ones he put
aside and went on capturing the masses
until it became apparent that he could
get the nomination In any event. Now
we are assured that he is not the man
he was-or that the people believed
him.
The implication contained in this
statement about the change in the man
is clear enough. 1t is sought to con-
vey the impression that the president
is no longer an unsafe man." We are
invited to contemplate change which
has affected the president so profound
ly that he no longer regards the con-
gress of the United States as broncho
to be busted" by the superior will Of
the executive. It is intimated that the
wildly riotous spirit of youth which led
Theodore Roosevelt so far on his career
has been curbed and bitted and will
no longer trouble the dreams of states
men.
This change in the man is calculated
to appeal to and appease those cap
tious ones who disliked having the
commercial and industrial interests of
the country treated as jokes. It may
presently be made manifest in tangible
form, such as the PRONUNCIATION of an
essay on finance.
But how about the people who ac-
copied the earlier man for what he was
and wanted him? viii they not hold
themselves to have been gold bricked?
