CHINA E0R THE CHINESE.

Current dispatches from Peking appear to
confirm in some degree the impressions recently
reported by the accomplished correspondent OF
the London Times" in China, who, returning
thither after an absence of seven months, OBJ
served a remarkable change in native opln-
ion and in national spirit, involving the attitude
of the officials and gentry toward foreign rela-
tions. and certain growing restlessness among
merchants and students. Practically, accord
ing TO Dr. Morrison and other observers. China
has awakened The ancient spirit Of evasion, de
Law and passive obstruction has largely given
place TO a new spirit of deliberate ana organ
lied resistance to foreign influence. and TO a
new policy of ''China for the Chinese. Perhaps
China may still be inert. But. if so. it is with
the inertia of motion. not Of rest Rather does
she appear to have passed from inertia to potent
activity, from the state of the would-be immov-
able body toward that of the would-be irresist-
ible force
The causes Of this are readily diScerned. First
of all. of course is the moral effect of Japan's
victory over Russia That was foreseen, and
the forecasts of it are being verified. 4 second
cause also foreseen. is the Angio-JapaneSe all1-
ance which is not unreasonably Interpreted as
a guarantee Of protection to Chinas territorial
integrity third is the "impolitic" action of
the United States DR.. Morrison calls 1t.
| in meeting the Chinese boycott of American
goods with a spirit of conciliation. which the
! Chinese Interpret as a confession of weakness
! The fourth is the influence of half-educated
/ students who have returned from Japan to pro-
/ claim vaingloriously that China is now able TO
! follow Japan's example in dealing with the rest
of the world. The fifth is found in the with
drawal Of the British feet from Chinese waters
and the reduction of the foreign garrsons in
| Pe-Chi-Ii
The practical results of the change are also
| fvefold The military authorities making
great efforts. with the aid of japanese instruc-

Speaker Cannon is right in rebuking the cur
rent tendency 10 unmitigated pessimism. The
times are out of joint, say many hasty critics.
We are cutting loose from the old fashioned Writ
ues. Our standards of honesty in business and
politics have been lowered. The golden DAYS
OF American plain living and high thinking are
behind US. Speaker Cannon is himself in many
ways an American of the older school. He
knows American life as it was in the sos and
COS. and his judgment is not blinded by those
illusions which. taking root in the popular i'm
agination. so quickly color and transform the
past. Out of fulness Of personal knowledge
the Speaker declares that il is folly for us to
lament the good old days and 10 set up invidi-
Gus comparisons between what is and what
used TO be- He speaks the truth when he says
that I'VE are as people better off in every way
than were our grandfathers one hundred years
sago. or our fathers fifty years ago-better phys
''ically, mentally and morally"
Few who have thoughtfuliy studied American
history will dispute this conclusion. To do so
would amount to denying the capacity of the
race fer advancement under perhaps the most
favorable conditions ever offered for social
economical and moral progress. There is un-
doubtedIy good deal of unrest at present over
certain problems in American life. But this un-
rest is due in large part 10 an awakening to
shortcomings which had not hitherto greatly
troubled the public conscience. For n century
individuaIsm has been the keynote OF our po-
HficaI and social system. We have given the
individualistic theory full sway, and Presi-
dent Eliot-himself a conspicuous defender of
The laissez-faire system in economics and poll
fics-declared the other night at the New Eng
land Society dinner in this city, we are begin
ming 10 question the validity OF that system and
TO take steps TO defend ourselves against its
abuses and excesses. We are attempting to
redefine our notions of individual right and in
diyidual responsibility and to broaden con
ceptions of commercial and political morality

G4SOLENE RAILWAY CARS.

A dispatch from Cleveland says that an eX-
pertinent is to be made near that city on the
Lake Shore road with gasclene cars ror lnIel Ut
ban service. Eight or ten will be put nIo opera
ton on line running eastward from CleFeldlo
presumably track already in use-and If the
result is satisfactory similar venture VIII ulti-
mately be made to the westward. In many
parts OF the country the traffic is too hghI 10
make steam trains profitable, and there Is I'M
ouestiona bly, a need of more economical means
of +ransporta ton in such districts. Where single
cars are employed the requisite expenditure or
mower is less wasteful than where locomotive
is used to haul two or three half filed cars.
The wisdom of a change being conceded, how
ever it still remains to be determined Why
gasoene should be preferred to electricity as
motive agent. 1t has been asserted that the
Lake Shore company expects to make DetIer
time with it than the interurban trolley cars
make. because the latter are compelled to re-
duce their speed after getting inside city limits
The hope is well founded, no doubt, but the i'm
urovement will be due to the ownership or
private right Of way, not TO the inherent merits
of the gasolene engine. If 1t wanted 10, tne
Lake Shore company could easily beat WIN
electricity any speed yet developed with gaso-
lene.
Electric traction involves some outlay LOT

fiOn of q power SEauOu ny IIio NOLiPt1AJ

rossible nowadays to buy power from hghtlng
companies A comparison Of the costs Of opera
tion hy the two methods is, of course, leglu-
n,ate If gasoIene is really cheaper. and II It's
rse is attended with no drawbacks which more
than offset any possible advantage of this klnd'
a good argument can be made Tor me system
which is to be tested in Ohio
From the very outset. however it is safe to
co,7nt on one difference between the gasolene
engine and the electric motor. The former is
more complicated piece of mechanism than the
latter. There are many more things ABOUT an
automobile to get out Of order than about troll
lev car. Electricity unQuestionably guarantees
Greater continuity of service. AS yet, more
over speed regulation is a much easier matter
with an electric motor than with a gasolene en-
oine The motorman Of an electric car can set
his lever at eight or ten different placeS anu
sacure a corresponding variety of effects. On
tho two experimental gasOlene cars built for the
Union Pacific (and Oh the third which has recent
" been ordered) the gearing permits only two
rates. How serious this fault will prove is sun
an unanswered question. Light is needed on
these and several other points, and the trlals 10
Iee made on the Lake Shore road ought to dlSpel
some of the uncertainty now existing relative TO
rho merits and dement's of the gasolene car. For
This reason. if for no other. the venture must be
favorably regarded

LINING Up.

To-day bids fair to mark an epoch in the his
tory Of football Those interested in the game
are lining up as never before, not for play, but
for serious work to rescue fine sport from oeg-
radiation. The movement to that end Whlch
was started so opportunely and automatically
nv New-York University is eliminating in a
success greater than was expected Inc oIhclal
representatives of nearly seventy American col
leges and technical schools will meet in this
CITY to-day to consider the future control and
conduct of the game. 1t will be the most repre-
sentative and authoritative body Of the kind
that has ever assembled including some Of the
largest and most important universities as well
as the small colleges and being geographl-
cally representative of the whole country from
New-Engand to California. In addition to the
institutions actually participating. the conVen-
ton will have the earnest sympathy or MANY
others which for various reasons. could not
send delegates Upon the value and importance
Of the gathering il is not necessary TO enlarge.
If is obviously fitting that the interests of
great national sport should thus be considered
nv 81 nationally representative body. and not be
arbitrarily disposed of by few self-Consttuted
dictators The value of football, and the real
uubIic interest in it, lie not exclusively in the
half dozen sensational games played by few
hig universities but rather in the hundreds OF
games played by colleges and schools great and
small all over the land, and the rules and con-
duct of the game must be adapted TO the wei
fare of the many, and not he arrogated to the
selfish interests of the few.
To this end it is essential that the game shall
be put and kept under college control and not
under the control of n few alumni or of clique
of professional coaches The game as n whole
sbouId he under the direction of the colleges as
q whole. and in each individual case it should
| he subject to the authority Of the individual
college There is n decided gain in restricting
nlay TO college grounds, but there will be greater
gain in subiecting il to college control on what
| eyer grounds ii may be. In fact, some college
grounds are not strictly speaking. under college
control being owned by independent alumni or
undergraduate organizations. II may not he
practicable or desirable to bring them under
| college ownership. But at least every under
graduate student who plays upon such field is
under college control and thus through control
| Of the plavers the game can be controlled there
os we'll as elsewhere The essential thing is to
assert authority not many acres of land
| INT over the young men who play their games
upon that land II is not for any irresponsible
! committee to exercise that authority but rather
for those who are charged with full response
! biuty for the physical. mental and moral vel
fare of the students. If Il lad sacrifices his
studies to the game and so falls behind in
scholarship or if he IS physically injured, il Is
not any rules committee coach that his
parents viii call to account for IT, but the fac
