Sou8SOF.
The announcement of James +.
Burke appears this week in the
proper column of the Journal.
This Is Mr.. Burke's home, here
he spent his early boyhood, here
he was schooled and here his par
ents live whilehe resides elsewhere
that thrilling word. home, is ap-
piled. in place residence. II is not
! common for the opposition to make
announcements in republican pa
pers, when seeking Office, but the
fact that Mr.. Burke has announced
his candidacy in this paper,
prompts us to- mention the fact.
Jimmie Burke is now 81 years
old, single, a druggist and regis
tered pharmacist, with a dozen
years experience added to his real
ability and chosen profession.
| As a business man he has been
successful and his straight for
ward. frank and gentlemanly de-
meanor, has made his every &C.
quaintance his personal friend.
He is seeking the nomination
for the Office of senator from Cher
okee County, at the hands of the
Democratic party. and hopes to
be successful in the effort.
There is no question regarding
his natural ability and those who
know him best guarantee his hon
esty and integrity, while his dem
ocracy is of the Jefferson-Jackson
vintage.
The election of democrats to
state and county offices Is not as
frequent as it was some years ago,
but If the people ever do conclude
to have members of that nearly
extinct but ancient party placed
| in the places of trust, profit, and
honor, our defeat will be less po-
ignant if Burke is winner of the
prize he covets.
All political parties seem to be
taking up new ideas. new issues
and new men. There II q politi-
cal wave sweeping over the coun-
try. forcing party leaders to the
support of issues that a few years
ago would have been considered
revolutionary. The voters are do
ing more Of their own thinking
and finding less use for political
piiot%
New energy, new ideas and new
men are demanded.
Burke's candidacy for senator
10 the result of this new departure
in this country. He has had no
experience rs 2 legislator but has
the education. ability, honesty
and intensity Of purpose to make
n splendid representative In the
upper house.
Without thought or fear of de-
feat at the polls in November, he
is asking democrats for their sup
port on the 4th of August.
He has no record, good or bad.
10 Q public servant but his reputa-
tion as q successful business man.
as a useful patriotic citizen is
without blemish.
His party will be honored If he
is- nominated and his ticket un-
Edoubtedly strengthened if his
game is found on the ballot after
the primary.
We predict bis nomination.

THE CHINESE WOMAN.

It seems rather remarkable that a
Chinaman, distinguished though he
may be. should be able to speak in
good English to an American audience
and more SO when the audience is COM
posed entirely of women and the sub
iect Is THE American Woman Yet
lust that Is what Minister WI Ting
fang has Just done and done we'll before
tho National League Of Women IN
Washington. His talk told Of tho adj
vance Of woman In the celestial king
dom In the last generation. There are
more girls schools In China today"
said he, than ever before. Chinese
women are now learning to take part
and a proper place in their sphere Of
life. They are initiating their western
sisters not only In household but in
public affairs. It has been said that
charity begins AT home. wish you
would go abroad and convert our
women to be true ladies' Go, then, to
China and ask the women there to es-
tablsh clubs like this one. Then there
will be no distinction. There is a
slight difference Of color. but please re-
member that we are all brothers and
sisters"
The speech Is more significant per-
haps, than 1t would seem upon Its face.
China has developed some noteworthy
statesmen, who have made their marks
In the consular service the world over
Chinese merchants are broadening
their fields Of business endeavor every
year: but the Chinese woman Is today
as much unknown everywhere as she
Is unseen in this country. That her
countrymen have useful and nAuen-
tial future mapped out for her and are
taking steps toward It's realization Is
evidence that she herself wants to
have a future and no matter how IN
congruous It seems to foresee a league
Of women in China, similar to the one
before which Minister WI Ting fang
spoke In Washington the other day, It
is not an impoesibility In the near fu-
ture. The little slant-eyed ladies Of
the East with their tiny feet and their
ever-active fans seem now about to
have their turn. 1t has been long ia

OF the country would be without In
nuence upon the final action Of CON
gross. That body does not know what
IL wants to-day and 1t is in posses
sion Of no adequate knowledge from
financial sources TO enable II 70 form
a conclusion The proposed commits
sion on forestry can gather no facts
not already known TO the bureau Of
forestry, which is at all times at the
elbow of congress, In whatever direc-
ton ono looks for evidence to show
the usefulness Of investigating com
missions which usurp the powers Of
congress, the result Is always the
same.
In so far as commissions may he
said to possess usefulness they are
more properly a state asset Con-
necticut had no luck at all with Its
commission appointed to inquire into
state receipts and expenses, though It
made an uncommonly able report.
It's more successful commissions have
had to do with the purchase OF prop
erty for public uses and the erection
thereon Of public buildings Practic-
ally all of It's commissions, which
have been charged with semilegis-
lative duty, have come to the same
end. Their conclusions have been
either ignored or rejected by the
body possessing the constitutional
right alone to legislate. In short the
lesson taught is that 1t is better on
the whole for each department of
government to do the things required
of It and not divide It's functions with
outside bodies of a temporary exist
ence. A departure from that prac-
tice involves a confession of weak
ness.

THE CowLEs' PROGRAM.

The board of aldermen should give
its most serious attention to the pro-
posed local ordinances recommended
by Chief Cowles OF the police depart
ment. They will at first strike many
as being too radical in principle, but
careful consideration OF them will
bring one to the inevitable conclusion
that to properly regulate the traffic Of
the city and the use OF the streets
radical action has been made neces-
sary.
New Haven has grown moro rapid
ly than all realize and It Is growing
more rapidly than all realize The
result is that the central streets of
the city are being used in such n way
as to endanger life and limb. The or
