lomats who especially favor this

Paul Morton, whose term in
the Presidents cabinet ends July
LIST, has been elected the chairman
of the board of directors for the
Equitable Life Insurance Co.
With his election came the resig-
nation of the chief officers of the
company, including both Alex
ander and Hyde. Mr.. Morton is
to be given a free hand in the re-
adjustment of the affairs of the
company, and it is hoped that
this settlement may see the last

to realize his position when the
best men of his country adopt
bold and unmistakable resolutions
condemning the government war
policy and the bureaucracy in an
zemstvo at Moscow
and send copy to the Gar HIM
self. If he can read the hand
writing on the wall, he must see
that change, and that right
speedily is the only remedy that

1t is commonly said that the

one season. We have no doubt
but that his letter will be very
welcome as he left a large circle |
of friends wherever his work call
led him.
We have kind of forgotten
China, while her little neighbor
has engrossed our mind, but
things are moving even in China.
The Empress has abolished
official torture of criminals, and
this means a good deal, especially

days as to have appendicitis, and
there is more cause for 1t.

The exploitation of China is
the largest issue III the present
war, and it is that work that
japan will really stand on trial
before the nations. During his
visit to the United States in 1901
the Marquis of Ito defined the
