by the Chicago convention is as full of
platitudes as Georgia watermelon is
of juice, and just about as nutritious.
There is sugar and water and nothing
else.
To get at the real meaning of that
platform, it's language must. be dis
carded and it's meaning put into good
American. The st. Louis Republic
does this with the following result:
eve are the grand old party. We
are called the grand old fraud, the
same being obvious; but we don't mind
SO long as we are comfortable, which
we are, thank you; and we want to
stay where we are, because it pays.
"We strenuous1y assert and insist
that everything everywhere is all right
and that everybody is satisfied. We
are perfectly satisfied with ourselves
and are unable to see that anything we
have ever done is wrong. We are un-
able to view with anything but alarm
anything which any other party under
any circumstances whatever would do.
prosperity is good enough for us,
and the people may so to.
"There are no issues in this campaign.
There is no trust question. The trusts
are just as good as they can be and
Mr.. Roosevelt says that they are very
good. We like them ourselves, at any
rate; which means at any rate of duty.
Speaking of the tariff, incidentally,
we are its friends and especially is it
our friend. We would no more think
of revising it than of knocking the bot
tom out of our campaign barrel. In
fact, we will not-no, not while Pier
pont lunches with the president Clip
ping the schedules would be like cut
ing coupons green. Let the ''good
things"run on and ripen-is our motto;
and it is for us to Judge of what are
and what are not good things.
Somebody has said something about
a Doodle issue, but we ask the people
to forget it. If the G. o. p. can forgive
its own offenders, surely the least the
people can do is to forget. The most
most the people can do-well, we don't
like to contemplate that. We love the
people, of course, but we are terribly
afraid of them.
''We love the black people more than
we do the whites. We love them so
much just before election that we in
vite them to lunch. The rest of the
time the southern people can feed them.

Welt has done. We don't like to, but
we az compelled to. We shall argue
that he is ''sane" and "safe"-but our
plan is to change the subject as soon
as possible.
"The constitution is a very old
fashioned document and doesn't COM
pare to Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas of gov
eminent. 1t should never be allowed
to stand in his way. After all, what
is the constitution between friends
the friends of protection, of monopoly
and Imperialism?
Speaking of imperialism-ours is
great government, but it is nothing
to what it will be when Mr.. Roosevelt
gets through with it. Imperialism

POPE Plus IS SAID TO Be
SUFFERING POOR HEALTH
Jesuit Circles Discussing the Prob
ability of a Conclave Be-
fore Long.
HERZL AND THE PONTIFF

PARIS, Jan. 30.-A dispatch to the Rap
pei from Rome says the Pope is suffering
poor health, due TO physical depression,
and that there is talk in Jesuitical circles
that a conclave will be held at an early
date.
Max Nordau, vice president of the Con-
gress of Zionsts. the RappeIs correspond
ent says, has denied the report that DR..
Herzl, founder of the Zionist movement,
was received by the Pope, although DR..
Herzl had an audience on the subject of
new Zion with King Victor Emmanuel.
This took place last Saturday and lasted
five hours. But if DR.. Herzl did see the
Pope" the Rappel correspondent quotes
Max Nordau as saying, under no circum-
stances could the pontin say to him that
the protection of the holy sepulchre was
reserved for Christians. for ii is nadmis-
sible that the Pope could be so badly in
formed as to ignore that the Zionists have
always declared the extra terrtoriality of
the Holy City and the holy sepulchere
as one of the first and elementary articles
of their programme. Should Palestine re-
ceive a Jewish administration it has always
been understood that no changes would be
made in the matter of guarding the holy
sepulchere.'

COMMERCE
SUFFERING MUCH LOSS

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29-An admiral

certain in this respect, because of the cratic
course of the Japanese government during
the latter stages of the negotiations. Japan
has increased her demands while the nego-
tiations were still in progress by insisting
upon treaty recognition of Chinese sover-
eighty in Manchuria. Russia has declared
her intention not to annex Manchuria,
therefore why comply with demand that is
tantamount to a humiliating reiteration of a
former voluntary declaratiOnY
Tt is undeniable that the attitude of
Japan is causing irritation in ST Peters

growing throughout Russia. 1t is hard to
account for Japans persistent aggressive
ness, but this must be attributable TO the

FORMER MAYOR AMES
IS FREED BY THE COURT
Indictment Quashed on the Ground
that 1t Was Omnibus in
Character.
EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT

ST. PAUL. Jan. 29.-The Supreme Court
to-day quashed the Indictment against for
mer Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis. Judges
Start, Collins and Lewis concurred in the
majority opinion that the offense was not
proven, while Judges Lovely and Brown dis
agreed with that part of the opinion of the
majority.
DR.. Ames was charged and convicted in
the District Court of Hennepin county of re-
ceiving money mayor of Minneapolis ille-
gally from women. He indicted for
that offense Feb. 4, 1903, and after a trial of
several weeks. during which much sensa-
tional testimony was introduced, was found
guilty May Z, and sentenced to a term in
prison of six years on May 10. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court on Dec. 3
on the ground that the indictment was not
properly drawn. in that IL was omnibus in
character, charging. in fact. more than one
crime. This contention was sustained by the
Supreme Court to-day. The decision tech
nically and practically makes Ames a free
man now. Under il he cannot be tried
again, except on new indictment. and il is
said a conviction would be impossible again
The court in substance holds that the evil
dence did not follow the lines of the indict-
ment and that the evidence was not of n
kind TO warrant conviction Of the crime
charged.
DIR. Ames was mayor of Minneapolis four
times.

Bogota that inasmuch as General Reyes
and Cavallero have assured Colombia that
the United States will object to her landing

dition against Panama.
The only explanation of this news from
Bogota is that the government of Colombia
is compelled TO take some steps to prevent
its downfall which is said to be imminent
as President Marroquin has lost all the
prestige he ever had. There is much spec
ulation in Bogota to the outcome of this
movement should il be put through.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Associated
Press has the authority of the British am
bassador at St. Petersburg for the
nouncement that the Russian reply which
ii is expected will be delivered soon is sat
isfactory. Although no further details are
obtainable it is assumed, if the information
of the ambassador is correct, that Russia
has made certain concessions and that
Great Britain will prevail Japan to
cept them as satisfactory. The statement
of the British ambassador went from st.
Petersburg to the British legation in Toxic.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.-The author
tiles here say that the Russian reply
to Japan will not be transmitted until next
week. 1t is said that the delay was neces-
STATED in consequence of the extreme care
taken in drafting the document Viceroy
Alexieff's views are also awaited before it's
transmission TO the Car. 1t Is fully real
lied here that the forwarding of the answer
will mark another critical stage in the ne
gotiations everything depending on Japan's
attitude. 1t is feared that despite pacific
influences the hands of the authorities may
be forced account of the excitement of
the press and people.
A high official said: "Of course. we can
not prevent war. Russia will do her ut
most to offer Japan a basis for q durable
peace, but there limits beyond which
we cannot go. In Korea we grant practi-
cally everything and in Manchuria we al
ready recognize all the treaty rights of
Japan and all the other powers. Should
Japan reject our cOnciliatory propositions
the world must place the responsibility
upon Japan"
An important fact in connection with the
situation has been learned by the Associat-
ed Press. Within fortnight both Russia
and Japan have officially communicated to
the United States and to the European
chancellors their positions regarding some
of the points at issue. This course was
considered necessary in view of the wild
and varying reports disseminated.
