THE NEED OF THE WORLD.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the Century.
1 know the need OF the world, though it
would not lave me know;
1t would hide its sorrow deep, where only
God may go;
Yet it's secret II cannot keep;
1t tells IT awake or asleep; b.
1t tells it to all who will heed,
and he who runs may read,
The need of the world L know.
/ know the need of the world when 1t
boasts of it's wealth the loudest,
When 1t ~flaunts it in all mems eyes, when
its meln is the gayest and proudest,
Oh, ever 1t lies, it lies!
For the sound of its laughter dies
In a sob or a smothePd groan,
And ii weeps when 1t sits alone!
The need of the world l know.
I know the need of the world when it
babbles of gold and fame;
1t is only to lead us astray from the thing
that it dare not name,
For that is the sad worlds way
oh, poor, blind world grown gray,
With the lack of a thing so near,
With the want of a thing so dear!
The need of the world l know.
1 know the need of the world when the
earth shakes under the tread
OF men who march to the fight, when
rivers with blood are red,
And there is no law but might,
And the wrong way seems the right;
When he who slaughters the most
Is all mems pride and boast,
The need of the world l know.
Oh, love is the need of the world! Down
under its pride of power,
Down under its lust of greed, for the joys
that last but an hour,
There lies forever its need,
For love is the law and creed,
And love Is the aim and the goal
OF life, from the man to the mole,
The need of the world is love.

returned to Kentucky he would either
be imprisoned after a farcical trial or
killed by Goebel followers.
The treatment accorded to Caleb
Powers, who was kept in prison for
eight years, sentenced to death three
times and ordered back for trial each
time by the higher courts, seems to
lend color to Governor Taylor's conten-
ton. Published testimony In the
Powers case showed that the jurors
we're selected because of their politics
and that all kinds of questionable tes-
timony was offered in an effort to Sc
cure conviction. There is no assur-
ance that Taylor would be given any
more consideration or any fairer treat
ment.
The Goebel affair is ancient history
and all parties at interest should now
be willing to drop it. 1t was kept alive
by the Beckham regime for political
purposes and finally brought about the
defeat of the democrats. Governor
Taylor is placed in the apparent posi-
ton of being protected by partisan gov
ernors, yet he and friends are con
vinced hat such protection is prefera-
BILE to a partisan trial in the courts. He
has agreed to go back to Kentucky to
stand trial, If guaranteed safe conduct
and protection from assassination dur
ing the progress of the trial. That
this assurance has not been furnished
warrants Taylor's fears and his refusal
to go back without it.

THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.

1t is understood, and semi-oficially
announced, that when Mr.. Taft goes
into the White House the position of
private secretary will be filled by Fred
w. Carpenter, and everyone who
knows Mr.. Carpenter will rest conf
dent that it will be filled well.
The private secretary, like his chief,
will come to his new position remark
ably equipped by previous experience
and training. Mr.. Carpenter will have
won his way to this important
place of confidential relation to the
president by long and faithful service
in similar capacity where intelligent
and persistent work counts for sue
cess. While on his western trip, dur
ing the campaign, Mr.. Taft took oc-
casion to pay tribute to the worth of
Mr.. Carpenter at Sank Center, Mimi,
where the latter had resided previous
to his call by Mr.. Taft to the Philip
pines, as follows:
He is the best secretary that a man ever
had and l got him by accident. l cabled
across the Pacific from Manila on the
statement Of a man named Dan Williams,
who was out there, that if 1 secured him ]
would get the best secretary in the United
States or In the Philippines. or between the
two. He has been with me about ten years,
He has not grown any older, except in
service. He is just as good today as then,
or even better, because he understands bet
ter how to control me and keep me
straight.
With such a feeling of implicit re-
lance on the part of the new president,
the selection of M. Carpenter to be
the private secretary is quite under
s~tandable and the one. as we'll as the
other, is entitled to congratulation on
the prospect of mutual h%elpfulness in
the public service.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Baltimore American: The emancipation
by Rome of Catholic Americas subordinate
condition as a missionary country empha-
sizes the strides made by this nation in
world Importance. Since the beginning OF
this century, not yet a decade Old, It has
been recognized in more ways than one
as in the foremost rank, and now powerful
conservative religious influences complete
the tribute to its Importance as a world
factor.
Boston Herald: The action OF the conven-
ton OF the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
New York fixing the minimum salaries Of
its curates at 81, 200 recalls the fact that a
minimum limit for the compensation Of the
clergymen in the diocese of Massachusetts,
was earnestly recommended by Bishop
Lawrence some time ago, though no defl-
mite action was taken on his recommends
tion, we believe. The preaching of the
gospel still remains the poorest paid of all
the professions without distinction OF de-
nominations.
New York Tribune: The minimum rate
fixed by the diocese. 800 for an unmar-
ried clergyman and $3.50 for a married one,
merely places these owest paid clergymen
on an equality with the better paid skilled
labor. and not quite, indeed. on a parity
wSth the best paid of such labor. The min
.stry. like teaching and some of the other
learned professions, has suffered from an
o~versupply of those who enter e.. So much
so that although in such professions a
man gives eight or ten years OF his life 10
getting a more or less costly education he
cannot be sure Of being even as we'll paid
as the man who has been 10 no such ex-
pense. but has been earning steadily since
early youth. Perhaps the present tendency,
OF which so much is heard, to a decrease in
the number OF persons entering the minis
try, together with such steps as that now
takens by the New York diocese. which
must check the ill-advised opening OF mis-
slons without adequate funds for their
maintenance, will remove from the church
ministers.

THE MARINE CORPS ON LAND.


The order of the Navy department,
with President Roosevelt's approval,
withdrawing the marine corps of the
navy from sea duty and assigning it
for land duty at naval stations only,
promises to have an important bear
ing on this branch of the service which
has done very creditable work with
out having any clearly defined status.
The marine corps has never been pop
ular with either the army or navy. 1t
has performed a portion of the services
of each, but has not had the standingl
in official recognition, of either.
Originally, the marines were a sort
of police force on the big battleships.
They were armed with muskets alone
and did most of the~sentry and guard
duty on shipboard, now to be done by
the enlisted men of the navy. In
the wal with Spain they led the land
ing parties, did infantry duty in the
cities and aided in the fighting on
shipboard. They restored order at
Panama and were first on shore When
the second insurrection broke out in
Cuba. They have fought Filipino
rebels and kept them back while the
c~ableships we're establishing lines of
communication among the islands.
They have been called upon for all
kinds of service and have given it with
credit to themselves
That the marines are to be put in
position as a sort of a reserve force
at naval stations will rob them of their
apparent prestige in the service, but
their record is sufficient assurance that
they may be relied upon to do their
part whenever called upon, on land or
on sea.

A WORD WITH THE MIKADO.


Despite denials in diplomatic circles,
1t is clearly established that Secretary
Root has been doing some plain-talk-
ing to the Japanese in an effort to Sc
cure an explicit statement from Japan
regarding that country's attitude to-
ward China and the open door policy
in Manchuria. American traders in
Manchuria have convinced our State
department that the Japanese policy
in Manchuria does not open the door
to free and equal trade by foreigners
and that the determinations have fall
len most heavily against Americans.
Japan has repeatedly protested that
these complaints are not well based
and the mikado's representatives have
insisted that Japan would make good
its pledge to maintain the open
Idoor policy in Manchuria, a pol
icy secured through the efforts of
Mr.. Hay, yet official and unofficial re-
ports from M%anchuria support the COM
plants and bear out the charge that
Japan is administering Manchuria for
the benefit of Japan. The Japanese
control the railroads and the Japanese
army is in charge of a portion of the
territory, and there appears to be
abundant evidence that the railroad
rates and the customs charges are be-
ing so managed and arranged as to
give Japanese merchants a practical
advantage in the Manchurian trade. II
is against this condition, which threat
ems the integrity of China, that Secre-
tary Root has protested.
The United States has a peculiar in
terest in this situation, because 1t is
the one power in position to prevent
the Acknowledgement of China, without
being charged with a selfish purpose
The policy of the State department fol
years has been in that direction. Mr.
Hay. after securing from China the
adoption of the 'open door" policy IL
Manchuria, succeeded in having thai
principle recognized in the treaty a
Portsmouth, when the temporary ad
ministration of Manchurian affairs wa
turned over to Japan. The violation
of the pledge by Japan would mari
the way for complete domination anC
final ownership Of Manchuria by Japan
Under the circumstances Mr.. Root hal
chosen an opportune time to question
Japan as to its intentions. The Amer
lean fleet has Just visited japanese
ports, ostensibly to show this country
good will to the mikado and his peo
pie, but possibly incidentally TO i'm
/, press the Orient with the American
naval strength. That object ha
doubtless been accomplished and ad
vantage is being taken of the oppor
tunity to have a better understanding
with Japan on China and the opel
! door.

IS OFFICE A MERE wcrDENrl

Mr.. Bryan insists on regarding his
third defeat for the presidency as a
mere incident in his life work devoted
to the cause of reform. To quote his
own language, he says
The holding OF office is a mere Incident
In the life Of those who are devoted TO re-
forms. The reform is the essential thing.
If one can advance reforms by holding
office. then the holding Of office Is justi-
fable. If one can best advance reforms as
a private citizen, then the holding of office
is undesirable.
This point of view is to be taken in
connection with Mr.. Bryan's public
statement a week ago that "if circum-
stances should again call me-" he
would again become a candidate for
Office and also in connection with his
whole political career.
Mr.. Bryan was elected to represent
Nebraska in congress for two terms,
but during hat time accomplished
none of the reforms he sought to &C
complish. His first term covered the
last two years of the Harrison admin
istration and his second term the first
two years of the Cleveland administra-
ton, but just as his party had gotten
into position to do something Mr..
Bryan voluntarily retired from con-
gress by refusing to stand for re-elec-
ton. OF course, the fact that his dis
trict had become in the interval
strongly republican may have had
something to do with his decision,
but the desire to push reform legisla-
tion in the house was not sufficient to
keep him to the task. Instead, he went
after a fore-Goomed hope to reach the
United States senate when there was
no chance to win out over his repub-
lican competitor.
Mr.. Bryan's assertion that his de-
sire to hold Office is entirely subor-
dinate to his desire to accomplish re-
forms is similarly at variance with his
latest effort to secure official honors.
Mr.. Bryan appealed for support for his
recent candidacy for the presidency by
promising specific measures of legisla-
tion, knowing full we'll that at best, If
elected, he could not have a congress
in political accord with him in both
houses during any part of his four
years in the White House. In spite OF
this, however, he proclaimed in ad-
vance that he would be content with
one term as president and would not
seek or accept reelection. In Other
words, he promised reforms which he
knew could not be accomplished in
four years and at the same time prom
Used to retire from official life at the
end of four years, before those reforms
could be even inaugurated.
Mr.. Bryan may sincerely believe
that "the holding of office is a mere
incident in the life of those who are
devoted to reforms" but he certainly
has pursued a peculiar course to dem.
onstrate his conviction.
