ALLIANCES.

The Japanese press is wild in its &C
claim for America and Americans since
the arrival of the feet in their waters.
Not only that, but the interchange Of a
letter from Roosevelt to the Mikado
and has made not only japanese but
American papers talk of a Japanese
America alliance.
Unfortunately, however, for those
who wish it this country cannot enter
into alliances. Not only is it not the
precedent, but there is a reason far
greater than that, even than Wash
ington's parting words to the American
people to beware of entangling al
liances" That reason cannot be better
illustrated than now during a political
election. Roosevelt has four more
months as president-the secretary Of
state is a man of his creation. Any al
lance that this country might enter
into could be but for a brief term, only
to be upset when the election come

TAFT, THE MAN,

crowd which came to see Taft yes

the service of his fellow citizens and
not for himself. He gave the impress

whom the people might rely to see
their interests taken care Of

PRESIDENTS SONS,

The Inauguration of President Gar
fields son as president of Williams
College and the entry of Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., as a wage worker in a
wooden mill, bring up the question of
the future of the sons of the chief
executives of the country.
James Arthur Garfield showed in
his address at Williams College, that
he had grasped the important princi-
pies of modern education as firmly as
any of his contemporaries, be they
Eliot of Harvard, or Wilson of Prince
ton. 1t was significant that the son of
the man who gave the credit of his
success to Mark Hopkins, the former
President of Williams, should rear a
son to be the successor of that man.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has started
in at the very bottom and from all &C.
counts is making a success even un-
| der the handicap of being the son of
his illustrious father.
Those men of science who have
made a study of heredity regard great
men as the final evolution of long
line and argue that after that point
the line decays with great rapidity.
But stock men do not disregard the
laws of heredity in breeding. Why
then should we always expect deter.
| ioration in the descendants of great
men?
Certainly Theodore Roosevelt is not
the one to Bring forth or to rear in
competents. Is it not fair to suppose
that young Theodore has caught the
CLEAN of the strenuous life. What
reason is there to believe that he will
not make his mark in the world?
The president of Williams College
has reached a conspicuous place al
ready. Young Roosevelt has jus,
started. John Quincy Adams was
quite as eminent a man as his father
and the grandson of William Henry
Harrison was no mean man. Why dis
parage the sons Of presidents?

railway, the county which bred war
governor and which gave her sons for
the cause of freedom and the preser-
walton of the union. Nor was it incon-
gruous that the son of Judge Lorenzo
Taft, the great abolitionist should
have among his supporters the sons
of those men whom Lorenzo Taft
helped to free from slavery.
Despite the fact that Thomas Study
cares to be contemptious language on
the subject-the republican party has
no reason to blush for it's record or

NOT A UNITARIAN.

Editor Palladium-In your issue OF
yesterday in a communication tas |
judge) respecting the religious views
of Judge Taft, the writer gives a long
list of eminent people who have held
the Unitarian faith. In this list is the
name of Miss Frances Willard. i have
personal knowledge that the writer is
mistaken in the case of Miss Willard.
Miss Willard was a member OF the
Methodist Episcopal church and &C
cepted the teachings of her church. IL
she ever expressed dissent from these
teachings 1t Is unknown to her closest
friends. Referring to her reception in
to the Methodist church, Miss Willard
says, Those were solemn VOWS We
took. | almost trembled as our voices
mingled in the responses to the ques-
tions asked u.s." One of those ques-
tions was, do you believe in the doc
trines of the Holy Scriptures as set
forth in the articles of religion of the
Methodist Episcopal church." Can one
believe that Miss Willard would have
falsified in her answer to this question.
1t is true that she did say that she
had mental difficulty" concerning the
doctrine of the Trinity. while she ac-
cepted it. She says. While I viii not
Judge others Unitarians) there is for
me no final rest except as | translate
the concept OF God into the nomenclar
ture and personality of the New Tes-
lament. what Paul said of Christ is
what / say"
| My object in referring to this matter
Is not to reflect in any way, or cast the
slightest stigma upon those who hold
the Unitarian view of the Deity. but
simply to defend the reputation of this
peerless Christian woman from the i'm
plication of duplicity in protesting to
believe what she did not believe.
i 1t is to be deplored that the exigen-
| cies of political contest call for ami
madversion of the religious views OF
the candidates SO that they a en- OF
honor and probity. But IL sue.I must
be the case, care should be taken that
injustice be not done to those whose
lips are forever silenced. Mr.. Taft as
a Unitarian, has plenty of good com
pany, living and dead, without asso
ciating with him in religious faith, one
who could not be thus placed without
casting a shadow upon her sincerity
and lowering the estimate in which
she is held as a woman of transparent
purity and nobility.

A strange man, a strong man, q man

of New York.
Whatever may be said of his meth.
DDS, the sincerity Of the man and his
fidelity to his mission cannot be con-
tradicted.
At tremendous personal cost he has
devoted his life to the suppression of
vicious literature.
Comstock began his career in 1873.
The business of painting and distribut-
ing obscene books and pict.1r at that
time was highly organized and -four

York he seized and destroyed the plates
Of 169 vile books and pictures.

persisted ever since in their abuse and
violence.
But Comstock has never finched.
Once he got a score Of the sellers OF

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

The Taft meeting had a souring eff
feet on that dyed in the wool demo-
crat Tom Study. Think of Dudley
Foulke and eight niggers on that plat
form!"
This feeling of contempt is typical
not only of this distinguished demo-
crat but of the whole democratic par
ty. What could one expect of the
party which during the days of the
war stood on the side of the slave
owners. What could one expect of
the party which in Indiana was the
copper head" and knights of the
Golden Circle" contingent, whose
main object was to thwart the efforts
of Governor Morton and to turn the
state over to the confederacy. Was it
not in accord with the southern demo,
cracy whose efforts have taken away
the suffrage of the negro which the
republican party gave them?
The attempt of Mr.. Study to cast a
slur on the republican party failed
The republican party stood in the
past for the liberation of the negro
for the acknowledgements of the negro
and stands there today.
The democratic party's record in
the past is known and far from
changing from it the platform of the
party today contains not one word in
favor of the negro.
The democratic party is responsible
for the very things it finds fault with
| the negro for. The republican party
on the other hand, is responsible fol
whatever the negro has of civic rights
it has encouraged his efforts for up

When the farmer of the not-distant
future has shucked and cribbed his
corn. he will strip the leaves and
husks from his corn stocks to- feed his
cattle. Then he will sell the bare
stalks for almost as much as the corn
is worth. That is the promise held
out by the government scientists who
have discovered that the making OF
paper from corn stalks is a CONNER
cial possibility. 1t means a lot to the
farmer and to the users of paper and
ii means also that the ruthless de-
struction of forests will be at least
checked.
Announcement may be expected at
no distant day that the making OF pa
per from the cotton plant is also a
commercial possibility. This will
mean as much TO the Southern plant
er as the corn-stalk project does TO
the Western corn grower, and each
will supply a strong argument To
those who believe in a paternal gov

cussion and subject to the votes of a
populace, for diplomatic reasons would
not permit Of full publicity and dis

are elected by and for the people of

THE NEW ERA IN THE PACIFIC.

United State influence in the Pacific
has just taken a shape which nobody
in the United States was looking for,
which is rather disagreeable to Eng
land, which will probably be displeas-
ing to Japan. and which will surprise
the world This is Asutralia's demand
for separate navy, and the demand
has been granted by the British gov
eminent. Ever since the common
wealth of Australia, consisting of the
six British dependencies adjoining
each other was established in 1901
there has been a desire on its part to
have a navy of it's own, but this as
piration did not take concrete form
until the United States feet started
for the Pacific. with a program which
Included visit to several Australian
ports. Tho invitation to call at the
Australian ports was especially effus-
I've, and as the world knows, the well
come which the fleet received was par
ticularly enthusiastic. Australian pa
peers have freely said that their chief
reliance in their demand for white
domination in the white islands and
continents of the Pacific would be the
United States. Many things were
said by Australian newspapers and
public men just before, during and af-
ter the fleets visit which must have
been embarrassing to the British gov
ernment for they were directed
against its ally. Japan. No attempt
however, was made by them to spare
the feelings of that government, but
the visitors, who are booked TO cal
at Japan a week or two hence. were
necessarily forbidden by the Wash
ington authorities to touch on thu
Japanese issue In any shape. The in
