Taft on Burton.

Said Secretary Taft at Seattle yesterday
on the eve of sailing:
There can he no doubt that Mr.. Bur-
tons election is of real Importance to the
city and the state of Ohio. This contest
cannot be vi wed with indifference by the
republican party at large. The continue
auCe of a strongly intrenched adverse or
GauiZation in the largest city in one of the
leading states of the Union should be pr
vented II IS of the highest Importance to
the state organization, and certainly the
republican party at large cannot help but
view tn situation with concern.
Has the Endorsement of Representative
Burtons candidacy any relation to the
election of successor to United States
senator Foraker?
''Oh. no: 1t does not relate to that at all.
This contest has been brought to the at
trntion of the republican party at large by
the President and the Secretary of War.
II was known that Tom Johnson was mayor
of Cleveland and stood we'll with the peo-
Pile of the town. but that was all There
was no general concern about the situation
until it was announ ced that Mr.. Burton. at
the request of Mr. Roosevelt and Judge
Taft. would accept the republican nominal
ton for mayor in opposition to Mr.. Johnson.
Then. of course the country sat up and
took notice. 1t was new thing for ma
tionaI administration to dabble so openly in
the affairs of a municipality In this way
only has the Cleveland situation b5come
of interest to the republican party at large.
But what say the people of Cleveland?
How do they relish the idea of having
their local interests entangled in this way
with national affairs? The real question
for them, one shoIld say, is the proper
conduct Of the cty's affairs. Have, or
have not. Mr.. Johuson's three administra-
tons been of profit to the people? Why
drag in when that question is up
permost the question of Judge Taft's
presidential candidacy and seek to secure
delegates for him by manipulating that
portion Of Ohio of which Cleveland Is the
metropolis? This Is the proposition. and
Mr.. Johnson who, though a fadd st, Is a
clever politician, will not be slow when
he takes the stump about emphasizing it
Judge Taft says that Mr.. Foraker and
the senatorship are not involved That
may be appraised as diplomatic utteranCe
A safer assertion is that the fight on Mr.
Foraker explains 1t all. Every admlnistra-
ton ril in the state must be made to turn
an anti-Foraker wheel Mr.. Foraker #
possible is to be eliminated from the re.
publican leadership of the state. All OF
the Taft people, With Mr.. Burton at their
head, are opposed to him, and we may
all be sure that If Mr.. Burton is elected
mayor of Cleveland he will use the political
power such success will bring him for the
benefit Of the two men, Mr. Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft TO whom most of all. If not
exclusively. he will owe his triumph.

DEVELOPMENT of Navigation.
W York Herald.

From tue New York Herald.
The arrival in this port of the royal
mail steamer Lusitania marks an eXtraor-
binary advance in the achievements of Sus-
taned high navigation Many ele-
ments have contributed to this result. The
most important of these are the ship s
supremacy in displacement. the utilization
of the most powerful sea turbines yet IN
stalled and the realization of a speed that
surpasses by fine margin any yet achiev-
ed in a continuing long distance voyage.
Not less notable, perhaps. in its inf1u-
ence on the commerce of the world is the
simultaneous opening of the Ambrose
channel-our ports new and deepest fair
way-to the greatest water borne vehicles
that skill and energy have constructed or
that for many years may feed the lmag-
nation or enlist the ingenuity of the mas
ter builders. 1t is a happy augury of time
and circumstance that this great sea gate
should be advanced enough to offer the
Lusitania free and safe passage to our
welcoming harbOr.

The Finances of Japan.
, New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
The present condition of th5 money mar
kets of the world will prevent Japan from
realizing her hope of issuing a refunding
loan under favorable conditions in the
near future. In the act: market for
stocks and bonds which folio wed the flush
of Japan's victory in 1905. nope was en-
tertained that all the war debt could
be refunded at 4 per cent, and at price
near par. The first refunding loan was
we'll taken. but quotations have declined
to about 80, and the recent failure to float
a small amount for the Manchurian rail-
ways is warning that in the way of re-
funding nothing more can be done at pres
emit The heavy interest charges imposed
by the necessities of the war must con-
tinue to be borne by the Japanese people
for some time to come.

The Egoistic Debater.

The things the other fellows say
In argument with me
1t surely takes my breath away
Such thoughtlessness to see.
Their views are based on error dark;
Their logic is unsound
And each and every remark
Doth in mistakes abound.
Now why should any one be wrong
When, with some effort slight.
They might go forth, with courage strong
Unquestionably right?
They startle me from day to day:
To grief my mind they move,
The things the other fellows say,
Opposing what l prove!

Heroes in Peace.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The officers and men of the battleship
Indiana who coolly. in great danger. re-
moved ammunition from overheated cham
bers, are as much heroes as If they had
been under fire from the enemy. Possibly
they are greater heroes. In the face Of
the enemy, patriotism and a certain saw
agery that is in man spur individuals on to
great deeds even if there is no particular
hope of glory, which is sometimes an in
centive. But to take life in hand in piping
days of peace and descend into what seems
a death chamber is kind of heroism that
is more often performed than is generally
known and is seldom rewarded.
