Canada and the japanese.

Canada's jingoes are just now strongly
in evidence, as they try to work up a
militant sentiment on the Japanese ques-
tlon. One Of the most jingoistic moves yet
made in the Dominion since the outbreak Of
trouble on the Pacific coast between the
orfentals and the Canadians Is the adop-
tlon by the Dominion Trades and Labor
Congress Of resolutions calling upon Pre-
mier Laurier to demand the abrogation of
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which guaran-
tees to the latter country protection to its
citizens resident in Canada.
That treaty was signed just two years
ago, In terms to for ten years. 1t has
therefore eight years of life, and it cannot
he abrogated by the act of either party.
save a cause of war or in consequence
of warlike developments. OF course the
Canadian premier will be prompt to point
this fact out to those who are clamoring
for the abrogation of the treaty and his
statement should put an end to all such
foolish talk as the withdrawal OF England
from her international obligations But
there remains a possibility that the Ca
Hddans who are not in the strongest de-
gree loyal to the mother country will seize
upon this situation as an argument for
separation and the establishment OF Ca
''RN'o'A aNNoIIoELy Juu6lHB from all re-
liable indications of the state of public
sentiment across our northern boundary
there is little chance OF such an outcry

The truth IS. the Canadians have NAL
treated the japanese and must stand by to
apologize and repair damages. Just 50 did
certain Caltfornians mistreat Japanese
citizens resident in that state, and the gov

La Toilette. .

The La Toilette boom is now in expert
enced hands and we'll housed in Madison,
Wis, and real business Is under way. This
restless and aggressive man is sometimes
called the Bryan of the republican party
By others he is likened to Mr.. Hearst. His
candidacy for President is not taken se,i-
ously by either the Roosevelt or the Fair
banks people. They do not believe 1t pos
sible for him to rally any great support
A more interesting question relates to what
he Will do when the pinch comes at the
convention. and later, with the support
great or small. he does rally. He and the
President are not far apart about matters
and Judge Taft, as the Presidents man
might be acceptable. But would Mr. La
Toilette accept Mr.. Fairbanks as the can
didate? There are people who doubt It,

Chauler and the South.

The Charleston News and Courier is for
ninst'' the Chanler presidential boom. and
says that the south will give it no aid. In
an editorial on the subject this appears:
However blindly this section may sup
port its party's nominee once the nomination
is made it is at least true thai 1t has never
lent its aid to the grooming of an unknown
quantity-and that Is what Mr. Chanler Is.
The democratic party has been successful
in but two national contests during the last
forty years. In both of these elections 1t had
as its candidate a man with a record of
deeds That is the kind of candidate the
south would like to see nominated now. 1t
has had enough of candidates whose sole
possession was untried qualifications.
Oh. yes; the south has twice lent it's aid
to the grooming of an unknown quantity"
in the presidential field. 1t helped to groom
Mr.. Cleveland in 1884. He was IAN I'M
known quantity in national affairs, and
personally unknown to all the national
leaders of his party. He was accepted
largely on the assurance that having car
ried New York for governor he could do so
for President. Daniel Manning gave the
assurance, and then exerted himself to re-
deem it.
The south helped to groom Judge Parker.
who in politics was most decidedly AN I'M
known quantity" He was introduced to the
gia democrats, and the assurance in his
case was that as he had carried New York
| In a race for judgeship he could do so as
the party's candidate for President The
south did not know him from Adams off
OK but was willing to help groom him II
he was solid" at home. Alas for her too
confiding nature!
The Chanler boomers are steering strictly
by this chart. They assume that what was
done in the cases of Mr.. Cleveland and
Judge Parker can be done in the case of
their man. He Is AN unknown quantity
in the south. but has carried New York
once, and, they assert, do so again.
Why not chance him? He Is young, rich,
popular. democrat, and vote-getter. II
the south will turn from Mr.. Bryan and
take up Mr.. Chanler the New York Chan
lerites will do the rest At least they say
they will
But the south will probably draw the line
at Mr.. Chanler. The situation Is not iden-
teal with that of 1884. or of 1904 Not only
has the south already candidate in Mr.
Byan but any New York proposition COM
ing to her now must expect to receive the
very closest scrutiny. And Mr.. Chanler,
although an estimable young fellow. will
not bear scrutiny when the matter con-
Germs the Office of President. and the lead
ership of party which. In order to sue
coed, needs to be lifted out of a very deep
ditch. where. for a dozen round years, 1t

Cheeseparing for a Cry.

The democrats are receiving a good deal
OF advice on the subject of a paramount
issue for next year. What shall it be?
Tariff reform is suggested. But that calls
for particulars. How much reform. and
ou what lines? The republicans will be
plcdging reform on protection lines. They
will insist that protection as a policy has
fully justified itself In the country's ex-
perieuCe and must be maintained Could
the d'mocrats win by taking the other
side of the proposition? Who believes It?
What states essential to democratic sue
cess would support a platform declaring
against protection. and demanding the
tariff revision described by free traders?
Back to the Constitution is Mr.. Waiter
sons suggestion. That. too, would call for
partiCula-s $, and the adoption of the policy
would cost the democratic party nearly
forty electoral votes. For that many of
its votes are based upon notification of
The Constitution. undisguised. To go back
to the Constitution would be to enforce it
in its entirety amendments and all. Would
the democracy like to pledge itself to make
congressional representation conform to
the Constitution? OF course not So that
back to the Constitution would prove an
embarrassing cry.
Back to our continental borders is sug-
Gested- That is to say haul down the
flag in the Philippines in Hawaii. in Porto
Rico and repeal the Platt amendment as to
Cuba Would that policy win? Would
so-Called Jeffersonian democrats support
policy of scuttle? Did not the democracy
participate with enthusiasm in the war with
Spain? Who believes that the country
would vote to shrk the responsibilities In
CURED in that war?
And now economy is offered as a winning
cry. Cut appropriations down Lop off
some altogether. Make Uncle Sam live on
as little as possible. We are spending too
much And here again particulars would
be In order. Where apply the pruning knife?
What items should be reduced? What elm
mated? How much in total shoud Uncle
Sam be allowed? -.
This latest suggestion is of ALL the most
unwise. and therefore would be. the most
acceptable to the republicans. They would
rejoice to see their opponents adopt it. For
II there Is any man who more than another
Is unfit to represent America at this time
in the light of our great power and grow
ing responsibilities and should not appear

Money and the Suffrage

In his speech in Baltimore last night ac-
Gapting the democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Maryland Judge Crothers said:
IF am elected governor 1 shall use all
the influence that / possess 10 bring about
the passage OF the most effective anti
bribery and corrupt practices legislation
which experience and reflection have sug-
Eested up TO the present time. l think that
she buying and selling of votes at elections
IS the most serious evil with which We have
40 deal. and I shall do everything in my
power TO put an end TO that evil practice
US we'll as the corruption Of our elections
in every form. direct and indirect, in which
o. occurs.
The English corrupt practices acts are
probably the most effective of any which
are In existence anywhere. The cOnstitu-
ton of the state should also make provision
whereby any person may be compelled to
testify in any lawful proceeding against
any other person who may be charged with
the offense of bribery"
These are most worthy sentiments The
ey1l described Is the gravest in our affairs.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-20

for ii strikes at the very root of things. A
corrupted suffrage taints the official COM
missions springing from it, and men con-
sCiOusly holding such commissions are not
in position to the public as they
should.
Judge Crothers should now go STEP
farther. He knows the ways of politicians
and what practices have obtained under
machine rule in Maryland Moreover. he
knows that many of the old machine crowd
are his supporters in the present race. Let
him send for his managers. therefore, and
caution them this subject. Let him
tell them that not dollar must be col
lected from any corporation source. and not
dollar from any source beyond the amount
necessary to defray the legitimate expenses
OF the campaign. and that soon as the
election is over he will publish over his
signature the itemized account he will re-
quire them to make to him.
Here would be something to the point. II
elected the new governor, with such bill
o health. would be in position to urge with
all the greater earnestness and influence
the enactment into law of the policy to
which he now pledges himself VIII he for
tify his canvass in this way?
Judge Parker neglected to do this. and
hence tie lack of sympathy for him when
he charges corruption on his opponents in
the campaign of 1904 Had he sent for the
miliionaires who had cleared the track for
him at st. Louis, and were now to be the
real managers of his campaign for election,
and in instructing them as to their duty
and his own feelings have spoken against
the of money in elections. his present
talk would sound better. He knew the
men. their methods and their attitude to-
ward public affairs But they had their
OWE way, cut their own capers, and every
body believes used all the money they could
rake and scrape in their candidates behalf.
Hence the absurdity of Judge Parker S
present plight.
An ounce of prevention, we are well as
sured is worth a pound of cure. If candi-
dates will not only forbid the use of large
sums of money in their behalf. but select
men for campaign managers whom they
know will not disobey their orders. this
great evil will disappear from our affairs.

IF the sale Of the Philippines were eff

owing to Americas armed Intervention, the
islands are peaceful al least they were

white elephant but from a humanitarian
viewpoint the retention of the Philippines
Is excellent work.

Hughes Candidacy.

From the Springfield Republican,
The strong opposition of the New York
World to all consideration Of Hughes
presidential candidacy Is quite as likely as
not to make the Hughes boom travel at an
even hotter pace. The Worlds view is that
the republican party would commit an out
rage upon the state Of New York to rob 1t
of SO good a governor. New York cannot
spare him. There Is something in that con-
ception of the case. but actually the repub-
lican party will esteem the governors run
ming qualities the more highly because he
inspires such sentiments In q democratic
newspaper.
