ington and Toxic cabinets are making
favorable progress. The American
government beyond a doubt, would
not order this naval movement II 1t
was liable to embarrass the negotia-
tions which have been going on for
some time between the two govern
ments"
The sem-offcial Temps, after n
careful review of the events leading
up to the decision to send the fleet TO
the Pacific, said it was inevitable, and
adds
"The redistribution of the fleet
causes dsquietude, yet the right of
the United States to send its ships
where II pleases is incontestible, and
Is no more to be criticised than the
redistribution of the British fleet
three years ago"
The main danger. adds the Temps,
is the people of California, who,
against the wishes of President Roose-
Welt and the cabinet. may feel en-
couraged to persist in their attitude
toward the Japanese. The statements
made by the members of the Japan
ese opposition party in Japan are
stated to be bids for political favor,
and are denounced as being provoca-
tive. For this reason the Temps says
II also strongly disproves of the quot
ed utterances of Admiral Dewey and
Admiral Sakamoto "as designed to
pour oil on the fire and contrasts
them with the statements on the same
subject of Rear Admiral Brownson.
The paper concludes with remark
ing that while there are more rea-
sons for confidence than pessimism,
the situation is such That 1t needs to
be followed closely.

VIEW
COMES FROM
THE HAGUE
JAPANESE THREATEN TO
ATTACK CALIFORNIA
InSoIent UItimatum Delivered
to Washington, According to
Distinguished But PeSSimiStiC
British Peace Correspondent,


London, July 9.-The correspond
ent Of the Daily Telegraph at The
Hague, sends I'm column dis
patch which purports To reflect the
views prevailing on the Japanese
American situation, which he declares
to be more absorbing than the con-
ference itself.
The correspondent says that as a
result of his inquiries he learns the
situation Is really strained, although
both governments are trying to con-
ceal the fact. He asserts that since
June 20 the question has entered upon
an acute phase. 1.-THE Japanese have
been sending the United States eS-
tremely categorical notes stating, with
ont bitterness, but I'm the clearest
terms, the proposition that unless
Washington Is able to control Cali
fornla, Japan will consider herself free
to act directly against California.
Nothing, however, yet has been eX-
changed precluding a pacific settle
ment but many of the Japanese at
The Hague are of the opinion that the
japanese government ought To act
without delay and not give America
time to utilize her vast resources ana
economic potentialltles. hundred
fold greater than J9pan's, to perfect
warlike preparations.
In an editorial article the Telegraph
says II does not identifSitself with
the statements of its correspondent al
The Hague. believing them ia b.
charged with undue dependency. AT
tho same time, the paper continues,
they are made upon notable author
ity and they cannot be read without
profound uneaslness. The Telegraph
Is convinced. however, that the states
manship Of both countries will be
strong enough and the interest OF the
two nations strong enough 10 hold
mad chauvlnism In wash.
Nevertheless" the paper declares,
"it Is impossible to deny the danger
Of the situation. The present peace
conference. from its opening has cre-
ated disagreement and friction tending
to make worse instead Of to improve
the relations of the powers The last
assembly at The Hague was followed
by great conflicts: we can only pray
that the present one may not be sue
ceeded by more terrible calamities.'

Experience has demonstrated that,
Notwithstanding the charges OF the crit
les, the voting machine does supply an
absolutely secret and safe ballot; and
also, that there is a strong combination
OF ignorance and vice against the con
tinucd use OF these machines. Every
force that looks for success AT elections
through corrupt practices is opposed
to the voting machine. Combined
with this vicious element, there is also
a large number of honorable and con
servative gentlemen who instinetively
oppose innovations and whose persist
ent and willful ignorance of the merits
of the machine is almost rs deplorable
as the instincts of the vicious class
above referred to. Men who desire to
corrupt the voters may as well oppose
the voting machine. Men who see in
its use an expense out of proportion 10
the present necessities of the case may
also have logical ground for criticism;
but he who cri,icises it, either because
OF its inetiiciency or because of the
difficulty in acquiring a knowledge OF
its use. is pursuing an entirely uniusti

Roosevelt As The Candidate.

Republicans, and, IN fact, people
generally, in the West are demanding
the denomination of President Roose-
welt. In Nebraska and South Dakota
a poll Of the legislatures showed an
Overwhelming sentiment In Kansas
the popular sentiment IS reported IN
nearly all the States OF the West. The
feeling Is that Roosevelt cannot be
bound by his declaration that he would
net be candidate for the Presidency
for another term, that the choice of Il
President belongs to the people and
that after the national convention shall
have nominated a man it is his duty to
accept, regardless OF any previous ut
terances by him.
This sentiment has been greatly
strengthened by the lmpotent attacks
upon Roosevelt IN the Senate and es-
peciolly by the revelations of the Inter
state Commerce Commission ineestiga-
ton. The concerted attempt to create
reactionary sentiment to bring about
the nomination of 4 man for Presil lent
who would antagonize the Rooseyeltlan
policies has been disconnected by the
new Developments IN the Union Pa
cihc inquiry and the role played by
Hartman.
