Russia's Weak Points.

A nation that engages in war should
be strong at every point. A chain Is
no stronger than It's weakest link, and
a nation whose war equipment has n
weak or vulnerable point is fatally
weak. 1t is believed Russia has two
weak points. These are not her naval
or land forces, for in both Of these she
is strong enough TO cope with almost
any power. Her army and navy haye
not been tested In recent years, but
there is reason 70 believe they are
equal t. any demands that may be
made on them. Her weak points are
her finances and her facilities for army
transportation.
Wal is an enormously costly bust
ness, and in modern times even a short
war is very costly to those engaged in
it. The Crimean war Of lS54-56 cost
81, 525, 600, 600, the Franco German
war uf 1S70-7l cost 81, $50, 600, 900.
aud the Il ussO-Turkish war Of 1867
cost $3.50, GOO, 900. The Boer war in
South Africa, though not a long one,
cost Great Britain 1000, 600, 600.
Such figures as these might well ap-
pail almost any government cOntem-
plating war, and Russia above almost
any other. Her people are, for the
must part. poor, her sources Of revenue
are few, her chief source of wealth is
exports wrung from the toll of a SLOW
emily aud half-nomadic population,
and she has a national debt that COM
pels her to pay in interest charges TO
foreign bondholders sl40, 0O0, 600 a
year. Her R0blic debt is, in round
figures, IS. 1888, 900. 600. or nearly four
times that OF the United States, which
is forty times as able to carry a debt.
Russia borrows money every year TO
pay the interest on her national debt.
True, she has a gold reserve behind
her paper currency, but she would
hardly dare to draw on that for War
purpOSeS-c0uld not, in fact, without
causing a suspension of specie pay
ments and a financial crash through
out the empire.
Russia's other weak point is her
lack Of transportation facilities for a
large army and supplies. In the event
IF war with Japan these would have
to be sent to the seat Of wal by The
branch OF. the Tr~anSsiberian Railway
which crosses Manchuria to Dalney,
at the southern extremity Of Man
churia, on the Korean bay side. The
T~ranssiberian Railway is a great en-
cheering work aud we'll equipped for

Was Il Wise or Prudent?

In discussing the outcome of the re-
publican district convention at South
Bend, the Times OF that city SAYS:
NJ ,oiman is a clever gentleman. He
is likely to make an excellent chair
man-certainly a better one than
some of his predecessors were. But
that will not atone for an indigniry
deliberately offered Rome @. Stephen
son and his followers.
1t is quite likely that Congressman
Brick may have reasons, Satisfactory
to himself, for inviting such a contest
as that of last Tuesday. To unbiased
observers such reasons are a profound
enigma-absolutely incomprehensible.
Rome G. Stephenson is a nan of high
character and excellent reputation.
He was a candidate for the chairman
ship two years ago, and was turr ed
down. Having, Notwithstanding this,
loyalty supported Mr.. Brick, it may
naturally be assumed that the con-
gresham would have 5een glad that
matters SO shaped themselves as to
render Mr.. ~Stephenson'S election pos
sible this year, without friction and
without embarrassment to anybody.
Walter Brown disposed of himself.
Frank W. Boss was an lmpossib;lity
from the beginning of his candidacy.
Inc sttong, reliable republican coun-
ties If the district were practically a
unit for Mr.. Stephenson. His defeat
by a scratch, is a humiliatIon and a
sting 20 them. The affront offered
them is pretty certain to be resented
Would a really sagacious politician in
vitc such a condition of affairs? Mr..
Brick can answer for himself. It's up
to him. He may have gained a great
victory. "And again he may have
kindled a fire that will not be easily
e itinguiShed.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-01-21

Few appreciate the strain that Cor
gresham Brick underwent from the
time the vote OF st. Joseph county was
called for until it was finally announc-
ed by Chairman Wurzer. During the
few minutes delay the fortunes Of the
congressman were tOttering. Mar
shall county did not present the ex-
pected solid front, as four delegates
we're for Stephenson and in this con-
test every vote counted. This de-
lection from Marshall county made it
absolutely necessary for Mr.. Brick TO
have his own county as a unit. But
four delegates broke loose. One was
satisfied when matters were fully ex-
planned to him, and then the second
came into line, but the other two, and
they came from the Fifth ward, were
obdurate. They wanted to take a
smash at the machine. At once they
were the center OF an argumenuatlve
crowd. 1t was finally demonstrated
to them that detection from Brick
meant political isolation and con-
tempt. The persuasive methods of
the Brick leaders prevailed in the end;

All of the best informed newspaper
correspondents say that Senator
Hanna is not a candidate for president
apd that the Ohio statesman, has de-
clared emphatically that the only hope
of republican success lies in renominat-
ing President Roosevelt. No true
friend Of Senator Hanna or the repub-
lican party thinks for a moment OF
nominating ANYBODY but Roosevelt.
He is the logicai candidate. The rom
nation of anybody else would zoe an
admission of republican failure and
would be declared a victory for Wall

1t is a good thing to have a ''coal

senting Indiana. Displays of this
kind have an effect not TO be other

wise to have a ''stone palace" though
Indiana stone is incomparably better
known than Indiana coal. 1t would
also be wise to have a typical oil der

of state treasurer on the democratic
