Mr. RoOsevelt's Reference TO South

From the New York Times.
It is not easy TO see why Mr.. Roose-

emphasize his moral teachings by any
awful example: his teachings are sufi-
cientIy clear and simple to be under

out special illustration. But if he insisted
on such an example. surely he could have
found one without going beyond our bor-
ders and pointing 70 sistec republics with
whom il is our interest and our duty to
maintain relations as cordial as possible.
There is language in the mouths of judges

ton of virtual conhscation." II would
have seemed q little Irrelevant to the

Dutch ships visited SpItzoergeu annually.

summers on the coast The most remark
able Of these summer colonies Was at
Amsterdam Island, where grew the Wiz
lare Of Smeerenberg. Here. within 10
degrees Of the pole, T9 degrees 80 minutes
north. prevailed an amount OF comfort
and prosperity that is hard to realize
to-day. The shore fisheries failed about
1910. and the Dutch being driven to open

MENACING TO JAPAN.
Reasons for Regarding the Fleet
Movement as Jnwise.


Movement as Jnwise.
From the Columbia IS. c. State
It would aot be hazardous or improper
10 send the fleet 20 the Pacific in a time
Of peace and friendliness IN our rela-
tions with Japan, our open rival for the
commerce Of the Pacific and our rival
also. in respect to all advancement and
development in lands bordering on or ly-
ing within that ocean. It is hazardous
only because we are now engaged in "a
controversy with Japan. a controversy
that has aroused considerable bitterness
on both sides; and because any movement
on the part of either power that may BE-
construed by the other as an effort TO get
into a better strategic position, so as to
be able to strike q quick and effective
blow upon the outbreak Of hOsuuues can
have but one eneCt-tGe deepening and
intensifying of present resentment. View
ed in this light, the movement of the
fleet TO the Pacific is q menace 10 Japan,
a disturbing and an irritating factor in
the controversy, Japan can hardly do eth
erwise than regard it as an mfriendly,
perhaps as a hostile, move against her.
