Formosa and Luzon or on Nagasah,
where he would be in position TO COM
mand both the inner and outside routes
to Yladvostok We should have to as
sumo the correctness Of the latter hypo-
thesis IL wo could give credence to
rumor telegraphed from Shanghai to
the 81. Petersburg Ministry Of Finance
early on Friday morning that RoJEsT-
yRNsKY had already passed the strait
Of Formosa without encountering the
japanese Admiral II TOGO has really
concentrated his heet Of Nagasah we
may have to walt some time before we
hear of a decisive engagement,
We scarcely need indicate the grounds
for believing that the French Govern
ment cannot deliberately have sane
toned a fragrant breach OF neutrality.
Only with extreme reluctance would 1t
see itself dragged into the war, for French
citizens are computed to have invested
already 81 800 OOO, 900 in Russia, and they
do not want to risk another sou on their
ally. Then, again, the cordial under
standing with England which NJ. DEL
cAssE has brought about Is extremely
popular in Paris, and the last thing that
Frenchmen desire just now is a war
with their neighbor across the Channel,
which, however, would be inevitable
should France array herself upon the
side Of Russia. Nor would Russia her
self have anything TO gain at the hands
OF France except peCuniary assistance,
because, owing to the great superiority
OF the British over the French feet,
Russia and France combined would
have even less chance Of gaining ascend
ency in Far Eastern waters than Russia
alone has now, when she has only the one
japanese feet under TOGO to cope with.
1t is patent, likewise, that Japan, al
though she would reap more benefit
than would Russia from the appearance
Of England and France on their respeo-
tive sides, would forfeit the opportunity
Of settling the terms Of peace by direct
negotiation with her antagonist. From
the moment that Powers now neutral
should become parties to the conflict
II would be recognized that the ultimate
adjustment OF the controversy would
have TO be referred to an internationa
congress.
We dismiss, therefore, as improbable
tho notion that, yielding TO the resent
ment expressed by Toxic newspapers
the japanese Government will trea
any fault OF omission on the part o.
France as constituting a cdSus bells
rendering operative the defensive ALI
ance With Great Britain. The war vii
remain what it has hitherto been,
DUE between Japan and Russia TO b
fought out on land and sea; and, strange
TO say, It begins to look as II the former
maritime preponderance would at leas
be threatened should there be juno

response 10 which demand he received
from tho committee Ss5, 900 TO keep that
paper ahoat, exclusive OF the money
furnished to pay his hotel bills, and eK-
elusive, also, Of the money furnished to
him for election expenses in Indiana.
At Mr.. TAoOART's urgent but good
natured request, and under pressure OF
no motive save our wish to do Justice to
all politicians and other men, and our
ingrained disposition to think we'll rather
than I'll Of all truly interesting human
beings, we have now gone little further
into the facts. We deem II proper TO
state our unbiased conclusions.
We are satisfied that Mr.. TAooABT's
support Of Judge PARKER in the prelm-
mary canvass was not procured by the
bestowal Of money upon the Indidndp-
oils Sentinel.
Who paid Mr.. TAddABT's hotel bills
during the campaign we have not sue
ceeded in discovering; but We are con-
WINGED that these bills might even have
been paid out Of another pocket than his
own without the slightest impairment
OF his financial standing, which IL good
in business circles, where he is regarded
as decidedly solvent.
We are satisfied on investigation that
many thousands OF dollars were expended
by the campaign managers to keep alive
the apparently moribund Indianapolis
Sentinel. but we gladly accept the assur-
ances Of competent authority, strictly
impartial as between Mr.. TAooART and
The Sun, that the national chairman
has never had more than a nominal, or
small creditor, interest In that Newspaper,
and has had slight reason, except as q
party leader, TO care whether the Sentinel
lived or died Also that the scene de-
scribed az having occurred at the meet
ing Of the executive committee did not
occur.
We set down these conclusions In good
faith and In justice to Mr.. TAdoART and
to our own sense Of right.

Elderly Sinner From High bridge Pays

The Supreme Court and Chief Judge
Alton Is. Parker.

Mr. Justice HARLAN Ia undoubtedly
justified in regarding as exceptionally
important and Of far reaching conse-
ouence the decision of the United States
Sunreme Court which declares the ten
hour bakery law Of this State TO be I'M
constitutional. The law is unconstitu-
tional and void because 1t invokes the
general police powers Of the state 70
ACCOMPLISH an unwarranted restriction
OF the individual laborer's freedom OF
person and contract, thus encroaching
upon his constitutional rights by de-
priving him Of his liberty without que
process OF law,
A reminiscent and somewhat melan-
cboly interest attaches TO this far reach
ing decision. The law now pronounced
unconstitutional by the ultimate tribunal
was one Of the series Of legislative essays
in the same direction which have had
occasion TO be reviewed by the highest
court OF this State; and it happens to have
been the subject Of one Of the several
opinions pronounced from time to time
ON labor questions by the former Chief
Judge Of our Court Of Appeals, the Hon.
ALTON B. PARKER.
Indeed, Judge PARKEB's reasoning
and decision affirming the constitution
Atty of the ten hour bakery law In the
case OF The People against LocHSER
had an enormous circulation and an e1-
tensive vogue az a campaign document
last year when Mr. PARKER was a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for President, and afterward when he
VS. q candidate for election. His opin-
ion on the constitutionality OF the law
was soWn broadcast among the voters,
It was quoted at length in political
speeohes In Congress, It was incor-
porated IN the Congressional Record Tor
purposes Of free circulation through the
United States malls. II seems to have
been regarded by the literary managers
OF the Parker campaign as q peculiarly
effective claim upon the friendship and
political support Of those who, for the
supposed benefit Of the cause Of labor
are constantly promoting or favoring
the restriction by enactment Of the citi'
zen's right TO work for as many hour
as be pleases, and for such pay as h,
is willing TO accept.
In speaking Of the historical interest,"
Of the case finally decided last Monday
at Washington, We are far from any In
tention TO reflect upon the sincerity anC
good faith Of Chief Judge PARKKR'i
judicial announcements. When we reie
10 the somsWhat melancholy aspect o
this reversal, we mean only that his lonl
opinion affirming the constitutionalit!
Of the ten hour bakery law was mainl!
devoted to an elaborate argument tina
the law in question was in harmony will
the decisions and tendencies Of the Su
preme Court Of the United states-th,
very tribunal which has now commented
on this particular line Of reasoning o
bis by setting the law asidel

Thoma, TAETart In the Campaign

When reviewing In December last the
management Of the Parker campaign at
Democratic headquarters, THE Sun had
information which led II 10 believe, and
to print in it's news columns, certain
statements which were construed as
indirectly discrediting the personal and
political disinterestednesS and the fnAn-
cial standing Of the Hon. THOMAS
TAoaART Of Indiana, Chairman Of the
National Committee.
We understand that Mr.. TAooART felt
then, and feels yet, that he was wronged
generally by the aforesaid publication In
THR Sun; and specifically in the follow
ing particulars;
First, by the statement that In the ante
convention campaign for Judge PABKRR's
nomination THOMAS TAooART, the
Democratic boss Of Indiana, secured
90, 900 for the support Of his news
paper, the Indianapolis Sentinel the
sugRes ton being, a. understood by
Mr.. TAaaART, that he took advantage
Of the e1igencies OF the situation 70 e1-
tort money for his personal use from the
promoters Of the Parker movement.
Secondly, that Mr.. TAGoART had his
hotel bills in New York paid for him al
the opening Of the campaign by another
member Of the Democratic national
committee, and was 10 he regarded as
"a financially broken man..
Thirdly, that Mr.. TAooART, at a secret
meeting OF conference Of the Democratic
executive committee, the first meeting
held after his election as national chair
man, astonished his colleagues by max
ing this peremptory demand; Il want
$4,000, or my paper. the IHdiandpoliI
Sentinel, win 60 int benhluptg'l n

1t Is not surprising that the Japanese
people should have be en- wrought 10 a
high pitch OF excitement by the pro-
longed soiourn Of Admiral RoJEsTvKN-
sKY's feet in a harbor Of French Indo-
China, and that the Toxic Government
should have requested the French For
eign ONCE TO call Russla's attention to
the apparent breach OF international
law. Nevertheless, we adhere TO the
opinion that none Of the neutral Powers
will be drawn into the war, not only be-
cause it is TO their interest to hold aloof,
but also because it is doubtful whether
either Of the belligerents would benefit
by the participation Of France and Eng
land in the pending contest.
II there shall prove to be foundation
for the report that the Russian supple
msntary squadron under Admiral ME-
BooAToFF, comprising one battleship,
one armored cruiser and three coast
defense vessels, besides a balloon ship,
q repair ship and a hospital ship, has
already crossed the Indian Ocean and
is about 10 pass through the Strait Of
sundA or the Strait Of MRlAcca, Admiral
RoyRsTvENsKY's motive for tarrying
in Kamranh Bay would be explained.
He WAuld DO materially strengthened

approaching reinforcement II he OBJ

despatched TO Saigon, information as
10 the whereabouts Of NIEpoaAToFF, he
would naturally desire 10 remain &c long
a. possible In the South China Sea. He
evidently stayed in Kamranh Bay until
he received persmptory orders from the
French local authorities TO depart.
According TO q telegram from Paris,
Foreign Minister DELcAssE AYERS that,
In compliance with the mandate Of Ad-
miral JoNoUIkREs, the Baltic feet left
Ramranh harbor on the morning Of
April 10, having remained there at least
seven days, or, e. h believed at Toxic,
eight days. Another report from Paris

Celebrating Robert Fulton.

The Board Of Trade and Transporta-
ton has undertaken the preliminary
work Of arranging for q great marine
celebration on Aug. IL, 1907, TO mark the
hundredth anniversary Of the first trip
Of the steamboat Clermont on the Hud-
son River.
Thousands Of persons watched the
Clermont on her initial trip, and Full
TON, her builder, became q national hero,
The Legislature granted 10 him and ROB
FRT LIVINGSTON a monopoly in the use
Of steamboats, on the waters Of the State.
Congress commissioned him TO build q
steam warship, and honored him by
naming It the Robert Fulton. She was
launched in 1915, and In the same year
FULTON died, having lived only fifty
years, and having been unable, because
OF litigation, TO reap the full rewards Of
his ingenuity and tact.
Il Is proposed TO have a great naval
parade, In which every type Of vessel
propelled by steam shall be included.
The nations Of the earth viii be invited
TO participate, and the show should be
o brave one. New York Is admirably
situated for water displays, and the
popular success Of such an exhibition
would be assured from the beginning.
In such an enterprise city, State and
nation might well cooperate. FULroN's
death was the cause Of national mourn
ing. The whole country would join in
commemorating the date on which the
Oermont first sailed. Even the Bit
