Jerome.

Several New York newspapers are impa-
tient with Mr.. Jerome about the criminal
end of the insurance investigation They
would have him go to work at once and
bring certain of the men involved to the
bar of justice. There should be no worry
on this point. The investigation, it is true,
closed fortnight ago, but the report to
the legislature is yet to be made. That
document should throw considerable light
on the whole matter, and assist the district
attorney in the move he is expected to
make. Probably nobody doubts that Mr.
Jerome will make the fullest use of what
ever material the investigation has pro-
duced bearing on any and all violations of
the law. His character as a man of in
tegrity and an official of fearless vigilance
is established, and there is good ground to
believe that when he does move he will
move effectively.

The Chinese.
This is a cable from Picking:

The Chinese minister at Washington has
photographed his government that any salts
factory legislation on the exclusion ques-
tfon is improbable. He says that the ma
tority of congressman favor greater liber-
atty. but that the influence of the labor
ing class is too strong against the Chinese
One recognizes here the influence of the
patter which clrculates in pro-Chinese
circles. OF course the Chinese minister has
not followed Congress, and cannot say of
his own knowledge how that body stands
on this subject. He has heard from those
who are opposed to the exclusion law. and

knee occasionally and apply the slipper,
somewhat to the general amusement, Con-

Congress will not liberalize the law-which
means that the coolies must still stay out
is correct.
This dispatch comes from San Francisco:
"The Chinese consul has announced that
he would require a police guard for the
committee of students sent out from China
to study the governments of the world,
and who are expected to arrive In this city
Friday next.
The consul said he knew that no protec-
ton would be needed, but that his country
men were afraid because of the terrible
stories which circulate In China, and they
would not feel safe without protection"
Here again we see the traces of the men
who have been grossly misrepresenting con-
ditions and sentiment in this country as re-
spects the Chinese. Doubtless these stud
ents are justified from what they have
heard at home In believing that they are
to set foot in land where all men of their
race are held in adherence; that they are
taking their lives in their hands, and will
be lucky If they ever see home and friends

OF safety and comfort and hospitality by

simply victims of Americans who, either

cts, or else controlled by an excessive senti-
mentality, have been beratlng their own
country and countrymen.

Morocco.

The simple statement made yesterday
that any senator by applying to the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of State may read the
instructions to the American delegates to
the Moroccan conference should be salts
factory to everybody who had supported
the Bacon resolution.
Two reasons existed why the instructions
should not become the subject of public
debate. In the first place they relate to
matter which has not as yet thoroughly
developed. We know something from the
gossip of the day, from the cross-ffring OF
politicians, English, French German and
Italian, through the press, and from official
documents, but the whole case in its latest
proportions cannot appear prior to this con-
ference. 1t is only after our representa-
tives to- the conference have been advised
in their official capacity of where the other
powers stand that we shall know through
them precisely where we are. The gov
eminent will of course hear from them
by cable as the business proceeds, and
they may, and probably will, receive adj
ditional instructions to meet their latest re-
ports.
In the second place there are In this coun-
try, abroad, differences of opinion as
to what is up and as to the principal par
ties to the controversy. Germany has her
champions and France hers. Likewise there
are public men who care nothing for
either side in the business. and would be
glad to see America unrepresented at the
conference. What, they ask, is 1t to US
whether France, or Germany, or combina-
ton of powers, policies Morocco, or whether
she is policed at all? Let them quarrel
over the bone to their hearts content.
What is Morocco to US, we to Morocco,
that we should worry about her?
Discussion of course is free for individuals
on this and on every other subject. But
1t seems to be clear that the Senate should
not in open session enter upon discussion
charged with matter of such delicate mo-
ment to powers with all OF whom we. are
on friendly terms. Even If treaty or
convention of some kind grows out of the
conference, and We asked formally to
subscribe to it, the question of ratification
will not be discussed by the Senate in
open session. Secrecy will still prevail, and
only the result will be officially announced.
But as yet everything is tentative, and for
that reason secrecy Is all the more i'm
perat tive.

The Spirit of High Mightiness.

From the Hartford Times.
=. When the President, a few months ago,
undertook to limit the furnishing of news
in all the departments of the government,
he adopted policy which was sure to re-
act most unfavorably upon his administra-
ton. A short time before that he had
caused a minor employe of the federal gov
eminent to be summarily discharged for no
other offense than having, while operating
an automobile, passed the Presidents car
riage District of Columbia highway
A few days ago several of the Presidents
secret service men went to a New Jersey
town and threatened private citizen with
punishment for no other offense than writ
ing a considerable number of letters to Mr.
Roosevelt, criticising his public acts, and
sending these letters through the mails.
The harsh treatment of Mrs. Morris at the
White House last week seems to have been
In harmony with this new spirit of high
mightiness, in the White House. which diff

The Rogers contumacy.
From the New York Globe,

Evil will 1t be for the property interests
of this country if they fall under the con-
troll Of men controlled by the spirit shown
by H. H. Rogers when on the witness
stand. This Standard OIL magnate may
think he is answering a demagogue ac-
cording to his demagogy, and that the pro-
ceedings he has attended are a huge Joke
but there are others more serious minded
The public is not willing to accept the
theory that the Missouri attorney general
is merely, as Rogers describes him. "a nice
young fellow who wants to be elected gov
ernor of Missouri" 1t is commonly
charged, and believed by many, that the
very rich men of this country have no
more real respect for law than the widest
bomb throwing anarchist. Mr.. Rogers has
done what he can to spread this belief.
So doing, far more than any agitator can
do it, he places Samson hands on the pill
lars of the temple within which property
rights are housed When the fortunate of
this world show small respect for the law,
what can be expected of the unfortunate?

left nothing to the imagination on this

their power to prevent publicity. 1t is we'll

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 2S-L. 7. Cooper, the
man who has created sensation through

Cooper is president OF the Cooper Medl-

Cooper spends his time travelling from
