Radicalism and Democracy.

Some of the democratic leaders now
sscribe the partys defeat last year to the
platform They assert that, instead of be-
ing conservative, the deliverance should
have been radical. Il was a mistake TO
bid against a party on its own grounds.
The republican party had become TOO
strongly intrenched as the party OF con-
servatism 10 make success for a rival on
that line possible. The democrats should
have gone in boldly for new and advanced
things and asked for support for untrfed
policies
What would these men offer a radical
platform? Take the tariff question. The
ST. Louis platform declared that protection
was the robbery of the many for the benefit
of the few. That should pass as rather
radical delverance. How could it be made
stronger unless coupled with a promise for
Immediate and unconditional free trade!
And what party would make such a prom
ise and then figure on success at the polls?
Take Imperialism Scuttle was practically
the promise last year, and, while the Phil
ippines were particularly referred to, that
policy could not very well be entered upon
as to one OF our new possessions without
being sooner or later extended to the others.
Why withdraw from the Philippines and
remain III Hawaii ana foEtO WHY
not return to the old boundaries every
where? 1t would be difficult to go further
on that subject than the St. Louis plat
form in substance did.
Take the question of national expend-
itures. The Sc. Louis platform charged that
we were spending too much money and
should retrench. The thrust was under
stood to be at the navy. That was pretty
radical when we consider our new obllga-
tons and our greatly increased trade re-
latiOns all over the world.
This list might be extended. Only on the
money question was anything resembling
conservatism shown, and even on that
question the conservatism was simply
negative. The difficulty with the democ
racy last year was not so much in its plat
form as in it's record. And If these men
who are now shouting for still more radical
measures have their way the same diff
Guilty will be confronted in 1908. The coun-
try will regard the party as simply bid
der for office: as constructing its plat
forms merely as dazzlers, and as willing
10 use any device to capture votes.

Nogi at the Front.

The Russians at Mukden have heard that
Nogis forces with their big guns have
Joined Oyama. In this, as in other matters,
the Japanese have been most successfully
silent. Not line has been given out by
them whi-1 could lead to anything def
mite on the subject of the future of the
Port Arthur besiegers 1t was an easy
guess that they would go to Oyama, and.
once there, strengthen the Japanese po-
sition. But If they have arrived at the
front the details of their journey are as
yet their own secret. Those little men are
teaching the world something in the way
of privacy. They keep the curtain well
down while setting the stage.
Equally matter of guess, too, is
Oyama's plan. with Nogi to help. VIII he
strike at once, or wait for milder weather?
The Manchurian winter is no SLOUGH.
Heavy snowfalls and bitter temperature
mark the greater part of it, and the pres
ent winter. as if working in behalf Of
peace. is very severe. 1t is suggested on
the one hand that Oyama, who is now very
strong, may wait for spring before making
a general movement, and On the other that
he may strike at once and fight his way to
Mukden as speedily as possible. Why give
Kuropatktn a days additional time for re-
1nfOrcementS ana stronger lntrenclmeHIS!
The coming clash whenever or however
engineered, should be of tremendous conse-
quence. Japan today has accomplished
quite two-thirds Of her military purpose.
She controls the situation absolutely at
Port Arthur. She is in no danger what
ever from VIadivostok. If Oyama can drive
Kuropatkin back on Mukden he can prob
ably drive him further, and Japanese occu-
pancy of Hardin would all but settle the
case. Manchuria would then be practically
under Japanese control. and that would
justify Japan in taking a rest and asking
what next Of Russia.
For these reasons We may probably expect
Oyama to exercise the greatest care in his
next order. The winning of the next gen.
eral battle by him might end the war;
whereas should Kuropatkin win, and press
the advantages gained, Russia would I'M
doubtedly take heart, rush more men to
the front, and even begin seriously to think
of regainng control of the sea. The prob
lem as now presented could not be more in
teresting Or important to either side. or to
the outside world.
