Brodie L. Duke. He has it is true, been
discharged from custody under a commit

A Russian Trick,

The following from Picking makes very
Interesting reading:
with reference 10 the Russian circular
note to the powers on the subject of Chi
nese neutrality, which at present Is unan-
swered, the Chinese government complains
that ii has received no communication from
Russia, and consequently is ignorant of the
specific charges. Immediately after China
is acquainted with the contents of the Rus
sian not. the government will reply. Sec
rotary Hays communication to China is
looked upon here as not intended to con-
firm the accuracy of the Russian COM
plants. but as merely recommending the
preservation OF Chinas neutrality.
ct is generally considered in diplomatic
CIRCLES here that China has made genuine
and persistent efforts to preserve neutral
ity. that neither the Russians nor the Jap
anese have any grounds TO complain, and
that IL is unfair to saddle China with re-
Sponsibility for the action of Chinese BAN
dts and similar cases.
1.-The recent Russian attempt to smuggle
arms through Chinese territory is pointed
to as proof that Russia is ready TO disre-
gard China's rights when IL suits her to do
So The question OF China's neutrality is
not associated here with the possibility OF
an antl-foreign movement"
Here Is disclosed a characteristic Rus
sian performance. If China was violating
neutrality and rendering important aid to
Japan. what was Russia's first duty in the
premises? Clearly to complain to China

herself and render bin Of particulars.
Had she done that she would probably have
received prompt reply. But instead OF
that she ignores China completely and COM
plains to the great powers, and Il is only
indirectly in that way that China hears OF
the charges against her. This is trickery.
and at the same time an expression OF Rus
sia's' contempt for China. She, In effect.
wipes China as a nation off the map. and
addressing the powers says: "Iour ward
is misbehaving, and ask that YOU correct
her. If you don't, I will
And now that China is advised that Rus
STA has complained of her she submits a
complaint of Russia, and gives particulars.
What has Russia to say to the charge of
trying to smuggle arms through Chinese
territory? Did she fail, and was it that
failure that caused her to accuse China?
Nations are like individuals. No man hates
you quite so cordially as he who has in
jured you, or been detected and foiled in
an attempt to do Sc.
The Interpretation put at Picking on Mr..
Hays latest note agrees with our under
standing of it in this country. 1t is no in
dorsement of Russia's charges, but only a
friendly notification of their character, and
an equally friendly renewal of our wish
that China give Russia no ground of COM
plant AS matter of fact, public senti-
ment in the United States puts no faith
whatever in the charges, but regards them
as manufactured by Russia for maneuver-
ing purposes. She is holding the hot end of
the poker in Manchuria, and is very anxious
to let go. 1t occurs to her therefore to in
troduce a new feature into the controversy,
and try in that way to call in outsiders and
with their assistance wriggle out of her diff
ficulties.
Russia is sly-the Joey BagstOck of the
nations. But. like all old tricksters, she
sometimes overreaches herself. She over
reached herself most signally when she UNI
dertook to trick, and then to bully. Japan.

Temptation and Responsibility.

Judge Jones of Alabama in his interest,"
ing interview about the President and his
views and purposes. says:
"Mr. Roosevelt is beyond the possibility
of political temptation. He must WELD his
high office for four years and then return
to the ranks as private citizen His only
ambition now is to merit a high place IN
the affections of all his countrymen. l am
sure that our people, now that they are
beginning to understand the President bet
ter will meet in no laggard way his de-
sire to be regarded as the President of all
the people, and that our people Of the
south, no matter how much we may differ
from him on mere political issues, WILL
long before the expiration of his term look
upon him as a President who knows no
north, no south, no east, no west, but as
a great American who loves all his fellow
cOuntrymen.
The President may be beyond political
temptation" but he is not beyond pOliti-
cal responsibility. Great as was the per-
sonal tribute paid to him in November, he
was yet elected as party man on party
platform. and he must administer his trust
in the spirit of his instructions. He is at
once the leader of his party and the rep
resentative of all the people, and the more
closely he adheres to the policies for which
his party stands and about which it has de-
clared it's meaning. the more fully will he
Endorsed him at the polls.
1t is not necessary to remind Judge Jones
of these things, because he has had large
experience in affairs, is a good party man
himself, and being a warm personal friend
of the President would not have him go
outside of accepted procedure. But there
are some of the Presidents admirers who
betray different view of matters; who
seem to consider that in announcing the
purpose not to run for the presidency again
he relieved himself of all party obliga-
tions, and is at liberty now to set aside
the platform which he Endorsed as can
didate and upon which he was elected, and
to substitute one of his own. This view, it
may be well to say. is held by democrats,
who. although they did not vote for Mr..
E~yan in 1896 or 1900, or for Judge Parker
last year, are by no means certain to vote
against their party again in 1908. It all de-
pends.
There are two reasons, however, which
make it likely that Mr.. Roosevelt will dis
appoint these people, He has hitherto been
good party man, and has profited by good
party organization. His party is well Or
ganized and powerful now, and the import
ance of keeping it in that condition will
not be lost on a man of his observation.
In the second place, he is a man of pride,
and we may be very sure, will want to
ride down the avenue on March 4. 1909
with a Presdent-elect of his own political
household, and, if possible, of his own per-
sonal preference.

eral ways. Murphy and McCarren are out
of the question. Neither would fill the re-
quirements of a place higher than that he
now holds Guiding by the lines of the New
York school, we may not class Mr.. Hearst
as a democrat. A triumph at the polls next
fall then should make Mr.. Mcclellan very
strong and attractive man at home.
The contest from the republican view
point is only of local consequence. The
play of the republicans is only for possess
sion of the town. Their state leadership
is not involved. They are not figuring on
the Albany situation, which they already
dominate. AS for 1908, Mr.. Higgins. if he
makes a success of his administration,
should be larger factor in the New York
equation than any other republican, II we
except Mr.. Root. A republican mayor Of
Greater New York would not because OF
his Office cut a controlling figure in any
national movement.
Still, the republicans, it is announced, are
at present of the purpose to run straight
party ticket in the city, unless an excep-
ton is made in the case of Mr.. Jerome for
denomination; and at any rate the fight
should be quite as exciting as that of two
years ago, when Mcclellan defeated Low.

Out-of-Date Coroner.

From the New York Tribune
Even in Shakespeare's time the English
coroner had worn out the patience of the
most enduring. 1t seems strange that in
this day and generation New York still toll
crates him. But 1t is Mayor Mcclellan who
is responsible for his stay. judiciOus bill
was adopted by the legislature at Its last
session which would have relieved the me-
tropolis of the venerable infiiction, but Tam
many and the mayor interviewed. and the
bill was defeated. 1t is clear that IL Mr..
Murphy retains his clutch over this me-
tropolis the antique system of coroners Is
not likely to be displaced by the more mod
ern arrangement of medical examiners.
