Democratic Truths.

The following has been culled from
the addresses delivered in honor of
the 1921 anniversary of the birth of
Thomas jefferson:
The democratic party was founded
on certain basic principles that cannot
vary and can never die."-George b.
Mcclellan. MAYOR of New York city.
The work of organization in future
campaigns must commence with the
voters and proceed upwards. rather
than commence in a so-called confer.
ence of leaders and work downwards. 90
John w Kern. of Indiana.
when these principles dominated
our policy there was no thought OF
conquest or proteCtorate over distant.
alien and turbulent peoples: there was
no talk of alliance with the great. no
question OF making ourselves collec-
tors of debts. good or bad. just or
fraudulent and no suspicion that any
where in the lexicon of government
was 10 be found the word subject -
Alton B. Parker.
Democracy is faith. not an asso-
citation. Democrats are those who be
lieye IN the faith. not those who are
simply enrolled in an organization.
Democracy teaches that the hold OF
our power lies close TO the hands of
the people. Senator Newlands OF
Nevada
No man can imagine jefferson as
tolerating the impudent demands of
the railroad magnates that they have
a right TO determine arbitrarily and
without appeal the rate 10 be charged

THE JAPANESE VIEW.

There has been-and properly enough-much
consideration Of the Russian view of what the
conclusion of the war should be. Men have re-
ported that the Russian people expect this, or
would not endure that or would be thus and
so affected by the other thing. Doubtless such
speculations and arguments are legitimate. But
the japanese view is entitled to equal con-
sideration. We have heard less of it, because
the Japanese are less talkative and less ex-
pressive Of their emotions than most other
nations Nevertheless, behind that almost i'm
movable and inscrutable reserve there are pas
sions and convictions as strong and as endur-
ing as any in the world. It will be well, there
fore. to consider, so far as we can discern it.
the Japanese view of what the terms Of peace
should be.
Perhaps the best insight into the Japanese
popular mind and its attitude. toward this
question is given in the letter from Mr. Yone
Noguchi TO 1.-THE Boston Transcript" which
I've reproduced In our columns yesterday.
From that IT will be seen that Japan is im-
tued with a profound distrust OF Russia and a
disinciinst,on toward any truce Of the Bear"
The demand that Saghalien should be seized
YVES reported only fortnight before that en-
terprise was accomplished The nine categori-
cal dsmands which, Mr.. Noguchi says, the Jap
anese are largely agreed upon include some
quite reasonable items and some which at this
distance look 10 be extreme That Dslny and
Port Arthur shall be transferred to Japan,
that Manchuria shall be administered by Japan
until order is restored and shall then be opened
to the world on uniform terms, and that Sagha-
lien shah be ceded TO Japan are demands which
we have all along assumed would be made
That the interned Russian warships and the
Chinese Eastern Railway be given TO Japan
and that the Russian Amoor provinces be simi-
larly ceded are TO be regarded as far more con-
troversial. If. indeed, the last mentioned is to
be made at all. The establishment Of a neu-
tral zone between China and Siberia would be
a dubious eIpedient, though the neutralizing of
the Amoor is a proposal deserving of consid

come this new reminder Of the Importance of
that battle and be glad TO have 1t given in so
appropriate a form.
forting and auspicious omen is to he noted
Jones fought for America, with French aid,
against Great Britain, and the battle OF the
capes was fought by France against Great Brit
ain In Americas behalf But today Great
Britain France and America are united in bonds
Of friendship more strongly and more closely
perhaps, than any other three nations IN the
world. AT the very time when France with un-
exampled expressions of sympathy and honor
was delivering to us the body of our hero
and thus reaf1rming the ancient friendship typi-
fed In the name OF the Bon Homme Richard
the British and French nayies were fraternizng
at Brest and the British and French govern
ments were proclaiming to the world something
little short of actual alliance while popularity
and officially Great Britain and America were
regarding our Independence Day almost In the
light Of q moral reunion day. Antagonists
have become warm friends. The successors Of
those against whom Jones fought so daringly
and who affected to regard him as a pirate now
stand with reverence around his bier and couple
his name with the names of Blake and Drake
and Nelson. more striking change than this
which has occurred in the relations of these three
countries is scarcely to be imagined. For many
reasons the homecoming of the admirals dust is
TO be greatly welcomed; for none more than for
its coincidence with and it's impressive reminder
Of this grateful approachment among the three
great powers which alike display as their stand
ards the Red, White and Blue.

CONFERENCE ON MOROCCO.

Gratifying progress is being made In the mat
ter of the Morocco conference the place at
which 1t is to be held is now being selected and
1t now seems safe to assume that all danger OF
anything more than diplomatic controversy is
past. France and Germany have come to an
agreement, and since they have done so there
is no perceptible reason In the world why any
other powers should quarrel over 1t Indeed, the
other powers most directly concerned have just
announced their acceptance of the Sultan's invi-
tation to the conference, on condition that
programme be provided in advance.
That condition is one of the gratifying feat
ures of the case. 1t is intended TO effect, and
probably will effect, two important ends. One
is that the conference, instead of being vague
affair, compreheDsively surveying mankind
from China to Peru, will be In practical man
ner confined TO a certain definite field Of action.
In that way 1t is likely to be far more efficient
and benefcent than in any other. The other
end is that the approachment between Great
Britain and France will be maintained, and so
will be the agreement between them concerning
Moroccan affairs
It will be observed that this condition is the
same as that which France at first asked. Later,
It Is true, France appeared to waive 1t, but she
did so only on the assurance that whatever
might be brought before the conference, her
agreement with Great Britain should not be.
That is to say, she agreed to enter the confer
ence, even without an advance programme, pro-
vided all things were excluded which she
wanted excluded. 1t may be that Great Britain
and Spain will presently make the came conces-
sion. II 1t would facilitate matters, they might
well do So They would be waving the shadow
while insisting upon the substance. In any
case. the compact between Great Britain and
France seems sure to stand unimpaired, to the
advantage of the world.

the same general purpose ought the greater
glory to go to the man who was. historically
the first to use any Of them or to the man VINO
used the best of them?
It has been repeatedly asserted on good au-
thority that Sir Humphry Davy was aware OF
the power of producing Inconsistencies that
characterized laughing gas, and that he pub
licly referred to the fact In 1900. RZn there
seems to be no doubt that Horace Wells, the
Hartford dentist, was the first to employ it pro-
fessIonally To whom shall the largest praise
be accorded the chemist who called attention
to the possibilities Of laughing gas, or the
practitioner who first acted on the suggestion,
and, by his example, persuaded others to do the
same? Morton, of Boston, though also dentist,
gave the first demonstration of the suitability
of ether to general surgery, and he employed
an anestbetic that was really more serVieeaDle
than the one previously tried; but he was nearly
two years behind Wells. Does he deserve more
or less honor? And how about the men who at
an earlier period had gone on record as obsery-
ing the characteristics of ether?
Similar inquiries are provoked by the history
of chloroform. Liebig, Soubeiran "a French
mani and Samuel Guthrie ian Americana almost
simultaneously discovered its properties In 1881
or 1882. Sir James Simpson was probably the
first surgeon to turn these to account. Did he
or the three others perform the largest service
to civilization? And inasmuch as Simpson made
no public announcement until the year after
Morton revealed the possibilities Of ether. is
as much honor due him as TO the Boston dentist
or to the Hartford man who first tried laugh
ing gas?
In this department of knowledge as IN many
others, there has been an evolution The idea
did not spring full grown from any one brain.
Difficult though the work might prove, some
thing like an agreement may be reached In de-
termining who had the largest share In the
development of an@sthesia; but to assume that
any one person deserves all the glory would be
unjust to the large number who have contrib
uted in at least small measure.
