Receiving a Korean Diplomat.

Min Yueng Tehan, an accomplished Ko-
rean diplomat landed in New York yester-
day from Paris. where he had been sta
toned. and was met down the bay by a
squad of newspaper reporters, who re-
ceived him through q spokesman In this
spirit and In something of these terms:
Your brother In Korea has committed
suicide We understand that the customs
Of your country require you to follow his
example. VIII you do it right away? This
IS probably the best place in the country
for the carrying out of such purpose
You would be assured of a great send-off
The best descriptive writers on the local
press would be assigned to the job. You
ought to comply with Korean customs,
which are not abrogated by the eclipse of
Korean nationality. Don't delay until you
reach the provinces. Take our advice and
seize the psychological moment A few
days more or less as this sad world goes are
of small moment. Look to the dramatic
features Of your exit. and shuttle off where
the limelight is best worked and is strong
est Give US trial. and you'll never re-
greet It."
If this is Mr.. Minis first visit to America
he is not likely to forget the extreme DELI
caoy of his reception, though let us hope
that he will not appraise the whole country
by it.

The New York Election Contest,

The fight for full recount of the ballots
cast IN the recent mayoralty election in New
York has reached an interesting crisis Yes
terday the appellate division of the Supreme
Court rendered an opinion on Mr. Hearst's
application for reopening of sill the boxes
and the canceling of all defective votes
found in them. The court expressed itself
as believing that the principle of reopening
and recounting Is unsound, but said that it
was compelled by the preeedents to grant
the petition. permitting the Mcclellan side
to carry the case to the state court of APP
peals which is TO hear arguments next Mon
day.
That viii be an occasion OF the keenest
interest to both lawyers and politicians
Alton B. Parker is one of McClellan's coun-
sci. and will probably appear TO conduct the
appeal. He will. in that event, be faced
with the embarrassing necessity OF asking
the court of which he was formerly chief
justice to reverse decision rendered by
that court while he was its presiding mem
Der, he having been indeed the author OF
the decision.
In expressing Its dissent from the prin-
ciple OF recount. the court in the decision
just rendered said:

mus means the destruction Of the elAbo-

Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine

Our outlying possessions have every reason
to be pleased with the message The Presi-
dent shows thorough sympathy with all of
them, and recommends policies for each
which It's people earnestly wish to see
adopted. To the Porto Ricans he would
give American citizenship; and that Is some
thing they have long desired. He would
fortify Hawaii and give.th United States
the protection there which was a leading
consideration In the requirement of the
Islands. Both recommendations should pre-
VAIL and If they do Congress will have con-
tributed to the welIbeing of everybody In
interest
The Philippine question is dealt with at
some length. Present conditions, progress
made under great disadvantages, the needs
of the hour and of the future. the spirit of
the people as manifested toward both bust
ness and educational interests, are set forth
in terms which show that the President
knows his subject and has full faith In our
ability to accomplish for the Fflipinos what
Is required of us. The necessity of keeping
out Chinese laborers Is recognized, and the
policy of giving the Filipinos an improved
market in this country by the lowering of
tariff duties on their chief staples, sugar
and tobacco, is urged for immediate enact
ment into law.
Congress. indeed. has now all the light
on this question necessary to wise and just
action. The Taft party. with the Secretary
of War at the head and directing the in
vestigaton, saw with their own eyes and
heard with their own ears much of the
greatest value bearing on the national duty
toward the islands, and this will be of
service when the debate begins. Except
IN isolated spots in New York and New
England, where the winters are long and
severe. and topics for discussion are eager
ly seized without due regard to their live
ness or relevancy. the people have adj
vanced beyond the babble about imperial
ism. and are concerned now only with the
concrete and the practical The republic IS
not tottering to its fall because of the TAX
ing over of the archipelago. and all we have
to do is to take good care of the country
and its backward inhabitants.
Another point of interest and assurance
is that Governor Wright has returned for
a visit home. and will be in Washington
soon to confer with the President and Sec
rotary Taft Should Congress need further
light on any disputed or difficult point he
will be source at hand of all necessary
information.

tionably the law as the courts regard and
construe Ii, and not as the health officer
construes # That being the case, the Pres
ident asks for additional legislation increas-
Ing the maximum and minimum fines. pro-
viding for Imprisonment In cases eof re-
peated offending, and for the closing OF
perssstently offending plants. The court
has declared In specific terms that it does
not recognize the difference between an In
Simultaneous emission of dense smoke and
one lasting over one minute. 1t will fine
and under the terms of the Presidents pro-
jected legislation 1t would more heavily
fine. imprison and enjoin--in any case
brought before it in which 1t Is established
that the chimney has emitted the least
quantity Of dense black or gray smoke. All
who have studied the matter without
prejudice agree that this would be intoler-
able. that indeed It is impossible in the
present state Of the art to prevent the
emission of smoke absolutely. and even the
health officer radical as he would seem to
be in his administration of the law, con-
fesses that Congress Numbered in enacting
the present law and attempts to correct
this mistake by amending the statute by
his own ddctum. So If the President seri-
ousiy wants to secure new legislation to
make the old more effective, he should In
dicate whether he means the statute as
enacted or the statute as already amended
by the health officer. But the drastic enforce
ment OF even the Enthusiastically amended
statute. on a one-minute basis, would be
an imposition upon the community, crippl-
ing Its activities and congesting the courts
and jails. There is no longer doubt of the
need OF an amendment to the law-this
time by enactment of Congress and not by
arbitrary dictum-to grant a longer period
OF permissible smoke emission, coupled with
a limitation of the total OF smoke emission
during the twenty-four hours. Such an
amendment will make for justice to the
furnace owners and also for the radiance
of the local skies of much of the smoke
now in evidence. For as the case stands
even with the law modified by the health
officer. 1T is possible for an offender to con-
tinue to allow his chimney for half an hour
to belch forth great quantities of smoke
and suffer no more in his punishment II he
happens to be caught. than the man whose
chimney emfts smoke for one minute and
who also chances to be detected The anti
smoke law should first be made clear, euudt-
able and certain in its prohibitions, and
should then be rigidly enforced. with Sc
verer punishments for its violation If more
drastic penalties are necessary. In that
way alone can the end which all good
citizens desire Of a minimum Of smoke in
Washington be attained

Smoke.

The Presidents reference to the local
smoke question in his annual message re-
quires further consideration. 1t should
be examined in Its full terms:
THE law forbidding the emission of dense
black smoke or gray smoke In the city OF
Washington has been sustained by the
courts Something has been accomplished
under II. but much remains 10 be done If
We would preserve the capital city from
DETACHMENT by the smoke nuisance. Re-
peated prosecutions under the law have not
had the desired effect. recommend that
1t be made more stringent by increasing
both the minimum and maximum fines: by
providing for Imprisonment in cases of re-
peated violation; and by affording the REM
edy of injunction against She continuation
of the operation OF plants which are per-
sistent offenders. I recommend, ALSO. an

The Districts Big Floating Debt.

The urgent necessity of securing from
Congress an enactment which will put the
Districts finances on a business-lke basis
and permit proper current maintenance as
well as consecutive and rapid progress in
the construction of large permanent works
receives a further demonstration from the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury In
forwarding the Commissioners estimates
with cut of S325, 40. Is. in order, as he
says, to bring them within the estimated
revenues. If the Secretary's function in
this proceeding Is TO be at all significant. 1t
is apparent that under the present system
the capital cannot receive a sufficient APP
preparation to enable X to conduct its mu-
nicipaI government In proper style and at
the same time to equip itself with the cost
ly necessities of great federal center. II,
on the other hand, the Secretarys action Is
of no Importance, and If Congress INTENDS
to proceed without reference to his recon-
rnendations. some arrangement should be
reached whereby the Commissioners may
lay their estimates before Congress without
the temporary handicap of a make-believe
cut.
Nevertheless, the Secretary's action is sug-
gestive of the need of an immediate read
Justment of the fiscal relations of the Dis
trct and the general government. The local
tax revenues are large enough to run the
District on a proper scale of liberal proVi-
sion and to leave a generous margin for
permanent improvements. If this margin
were regarded as a sinking fund. to liqui-
date betterment debt on n twenty-year
basis, there would be no difficulty In run
ming the District on proper scale or effi-
cheney and none of the present trouble In
the annual allotment of funds from trying
to make one million do the work of one and
a half.
or course the District can go on from
year to year as it has gone for the past few
seasons. running into debt to the genera
government Congress permits 1t to spend
more money than it possesses and trusting
to some equitable adjustment of the debt
on a long-term basis when the logic of the
case shall have been fully borne In upon
the congressional mind But there is no
satisfaction in the reflection that there is
riling up at rather appalling rate float
ing Indebtedness which, may at any time be
foreclosed on unjust terms There is no as
surance In the tacit understanding that Con-
gress will eventually do the right thing In
the matter of providing for the repayment
OF these federal advances. And meanwhile
the obligation to carry these advances on
the books as short-term liens upon the local
tax revenues is crippling the District. 1t IS
causing an annual curtailment of the aliot-
ments for current maintenance. 1t Is caus-
ing members of the committees to postpone
action on urgently needed public works,
such as the high-pressure fire service. 1t is
keeping the local taxpayers in constant ap-
prehensiOn lest they may ultimately be
forced to bear the entire burden of this
great outlay for permanent works now In
process Of accumulation.

tracted judicial canvass of the votes In
every election district of the state. The re-
sulting delay, uncertainty and public ankle

This view is based apparently upon the
sole ground that expedition Is preferable to
accuracy. 1t is better to announce the re-
suit speedily than to make sure Of being
right. 1t must be believed that even in
these rushing days. when the public is Inn
patient of all delays. there will be an en-
phatic dissent from this dictum by the In
telligent classes of all shades Of political
opinion. To accept 1t and put it into prac-
tice would be to put a premium upon
roguery at the polls. upon collision between
inspectors. upon all forms of venality in
the vitality important function of electing
public officers.
Enough has been disclosed already in the
present contest to prove beyond doubt that
the New York election system is seriously
unreliable. In four ballot boxes sufficient
mistakes in counting were found. If the
average should be maintained throughout,

and in making certain to delay slightly the
announcement of the result. or to make
haste and in making haste to cover up
frauds and errors which may have nullified

Russia's Quandary.

Sinister reports come from Manchuria re-
garding the mutinous tendencies of the Rus
sian soldiers there encamped awaiting re-
turn to their homes. They have been held
now several months longer than any mill
tary necessity required. They are demand
ing prompt shipment back to Russia and
the government is doing practically moth
ing to accommodate them. The suggestion
arises that the authorities at St. Petersburg
are between the devil and the deep sea in
this matter. If the soldiers are brought
back now they are likely to swell the
chorus for reforms. The tales of their haru-
ships and losses in Manchuria may add to
the passionate indignation of the people
against the government. Their military ex-
per.ence however humiliating in general
terms, will make of them much more for
nidable agitators than are the unframed,
iIl-discipIlned mobs now surging through
the streets of several cities
Yet IL these men are not brought back
soon it Is probable that they will break
through their bonds and rise In a revolt
which will shock the world. Recent dis
patches nave indicated that Gen. Iinevitch
is facing the most desperate danger of this
character, and is exhausting his resources
TO induce the government 10 secure the nee
essary transports for the shipment of the
soldiers back to Russia by sea. There Is a
scarcity of vessels and the rates have been
advanced until it Is certain that If the army
is brought back by water the cost to the
government will be tremendous. The Rus
sian treasury Is in no condition to stand
many such heavy strains. but 1t Is very
important that II the soldiers are shipped
out OF Manchuria soon to avoid mutiny,
they be sent by the longest possible route
to prevent their arrival during the extreme

From distant rural chimes.
They somehow do not seem the same
AS those of former times.
They speak just as the others did,
With fervor, but alas!
A good oldfashioned jest is gone.
They don't blow out the gas.
Thus, one by one traditions fade,
With grief we see them go.
Those dear companions true and tried,
The jokes of long ago.
Inventions new have brought this gloom
Into our days and nights;
They don't blow out the gas because

The Evil Of Party Prejudice.

From the Indianapolis News.
If we are to read the shameful showing
of political rottenness Alright we must not
forget the reflection that after all it Is
based on the refusal Of the average voter
to put anything above party; his indurated
sense that remains constantly proof against
demonstrated rascality within the party
and the nomination OF bad men, the reply
for him being sufficient that he prefers
party regularity with rascality to tnde-
pendent reform. Analysed this runs back
to the bane of the whole business, and that
is that we shall never have reform until
the average voter puts public interest
above party interest and prefers purity and
honesty TO party success-not republican
purity or democratic purity, but just plain
purity.

Mark Twain's Philosophy.

From the New York World.
Mark Twain is growing old gracefully.
He has achieved the philosophy OF life by
keeping humor in it. Most philosophers fail
of individual happiness because they lack
a proper sense of humor. Most humorists
omit the phiiosophic contempiations which
temper adversely. Most lives become rigid
when the fexibility of youth departs Mr..
Clemens combines the lightness OF youth
with the experience of age.
