Mrs. Main. president Of the association.
embodied in her annual report a resume
Of the annual convention Of the Ameri-

Auerbach gave an interesting descrip-
ton OF the work which is being done
by a similar association IN London.
In the reports of various officers of
the organization II was shown that the
men in the workshops had been kept
busy during the summer filling orders
for brooms, baskets, and cane seat

sent out in order 10 instruct blind per-
sons in their own homes.

WHAT PARTIES STAND FOR.
Baltimore Paper Discusses Some
Elusive Points of Difference,

From the Baltimore sun.
The Democratic party desires and insists
upon tariff reform. but not such sudden
and violent changes as will create havoc
among industries that have grown up un-
der the protective system and the destruc-
ton Of the occupation Of the people who
are employed in them. The Democratic
party insists upon the regulation Of COM
mon carriers and the reform Of the abuses
that have aroused the Indignation Of the
country. But the Democratic party does
not propose such radical legislation and
regulation as will cripple our transports-
tion system and wreck the investments in
their securities. The Democratic party in
sisjs upon the due exercise by Congress OF
it's constitutional powers, in order 20 re-
form the abuses IN the conduct Of inter
state commerce, but il resists the attempt
10 deprive the States Of their constitutional
powers and preroEatives by construction
or by usurpation-
These may ba platitudes. and It has been
said that Judge Taft would cheerfully
subscribe 20 such a platform as Senator
Daniel suggests in giving his own indvid-
Ual views But there is a wide difference
between the meaning which Senator Daniel
attaches 20 the principles he enumeratcs
and the meaning that Secretary Taft or
any other Republican would intend 90
convey by the same expressions. Perhaps
there is wide difference between these
gentlemen in their understanding OF the
extent Of the constitutional rights OF the
States. And yet both may say they are
for preserving States rights. Both gentle
men are for tariff reform. and vet there
may be a wide difference Of opinion be
tween the two as % what constitutes
tariff reform. President Roosevelt also
favors tariff reform. and yet during the
years Of his term I'm the White House he
has proposed nothing and accomplished
nothing 20 relieve the people Of the griev-
Gus burden of Dingleyism and our COM
merce from its incubus.
To say that there IS no longer any point
Of difference between the two historic
parties Is 70 say that which Is not true.
To say that Mr.. Roosevelt has adopted
Democratic principles is an error. In
his attitude toward the Constitution. in
his theories as 10 the relations uf the
States To the Federal government. In his
assent 20 the enormities Of the Dinglev

The situation in Korea.

Since the Russian war the
japanese have been criticised for moth
ing so much as their conduct in Korea,
During the early stages Of the war they
treated the territory Of the Hermit King
dom as If it We're their own. They
established a proteCtorate with Marquis
Ito at the head; administered the Gus
toms. collected the internal revenue. and
were rather high handed in the matter Of
providing lands for japanese colonists.
As a result of all this there has grown
up in Korea pretty well defined revo-
lutonary party, which is Of Importance
only in that it has furnished something for
seekers after concessions and fault-fnders
with Japan 20 work on Il has been fire.
quently reported that Korea was reekng
with disaffection, and that the Japanese
rule was entirely self-seeking and harm
ful 70 Koreaa.
Now comes on the scene Prof. George
Trumbull Iadd. who was taken from a
position as lecturer in the government
colleges at Tokyo and made adviser to
Marquis Ito. Since the Japanese admin
istration of affairs in Korea ne has lived
at Seoul and probably no foreigner is
more au courant with Korean affairs
than he. AS A result Of his observations
We are led to believe that even in the
administration Of an allen country the
japanese are showing the same wonder
ful ability which has astonished the
world since Japan first took her place
among the nations. Even the removal
of the sacred pagoda, the Pung-duk, from
Seoul, is amply justified by Prof Ladd,
who compares it to the removal of the
Elgin marbles from the Parthenon at
Athens.
More important. however. is the fact
that with quiet harmony the Japanese
have succeeded in removing the five anti
japanese ministers from the Korean cabi-
net, thus insuring the administration
against court intrigues. The new minis
try. perfectly acceptable TO Marquis Ito
indeed, possibly chosen by him-is pledged
to carry out the reform programme out
lined by Japan, which has as its first
object the strengthening of the japanese
prOteCtorate. AS a result methods of
working the rice fields of Korea. an i'm
portant industry, have been rearranged
according to plans which the japanese.
through lOsg years Of experience found
most economical; arrangements have
been made for the export of the sur-
plus grain. and an Industrial school and
a model farm. designed TO teach TIE
Koreans economical farming. have been
established
Korea has always been dominated by
weak court, by an emperor strong in ex-
clusiyeness, surrounded by eunuchs and
soothsayers and people with axes to
grind. The administration Of the Jap
anese has, evidently, started more en-
lghtened policy, a policy of industrial
and educational development The coun.
try has great possibilities. It's people have
been asleep for centuries. The advent Of
the japanese has. it seems. at last awak-
ened them to their opportunities, and as
