Each night several hundred hungry
men have been given hot coffee and

lodging houses are oyercrowded;

Democratic leaders all over Texas
have sent &c the senator in Wash

Texas delegation to present his

the senator has not been heard from,

| Southern man for the presidency.
The democratic leaders of Texas
point out that the nomination of
Senator Culberson for second place
on the ticket will serve to crafty
the growing demand OF the south for
recognition, and pave the way for
the nomination of a southern man
for president four or eight years
hence. Furthermore as Senator Cul
berson Is the democratic minority
leader in the senate, and has an un
impeachable record both in and out
OF this state. they claim that he Is
the logical candidate and will add
much strength to the ticket in the
east.

and probably without reading 1t at
all. The fact Is that of the two plans
proposed. (they have both been ex-
tcnsively printed that by the state
committee is far less ambiguous than
the plan now suggested by Senator
Foraker. And II Senator Foraker Is
sincere in his declaration. that in
requesting primaries he desired the
election OF delegates brought home
to the people" he has not proposed n
fairer or better plan for that purpose
than the one decided upon by Taft
and his friends on Ohio republican
state committee. This Is the almost
universal opinion OF democrats In
Washington. who are disinterested
spectators OF this republican quarrel
in Ohio. and who have the highest
personal regard for Senator Forak-
er.
Taft's Inconsistency.
There is one peculiar phase of this
quarrel between Secretary Taft and
Senator Foraker over the primary
plan to be followed In their coming
contest. Taft stands for the submis-
sion OF their presidential aspirations
directly TO the votes of the people.
OF course Secretary Taft would not
admit that this Is In any way akin
to the principle OF the initiative and
referendum which he So roundly con-
demned recently In Oklahoma. But
the fact remains that the same Mr..
Taft who was SO unwilling that the
people OF Oklahoma should allow
themselves the right of passing di.
rectly upon their own laws. Is the
same Mr.. Taft who now seems so
anxious that the people OF Ohio
should pass directly upon his pres
idential aspirations. The principle
OF spirit OF the referendum that was
all wrong in Oklahoma, Is evidently
all right in Ohio. The direct will
of the people when Mr.. Taft's polit.
ical interests are at stake is very
desirable thing, but when the peo-
pies own interests are at stake, II
Is evidently not so desirable.

INTERNATIONAL, SITUATION
INTERESTING.

Added interest has been given the
international situation in the Far
East by the determination of the
Administration to stand firm in its
refusal to recognize any government

China's. 1t has been known that the
government was determined to main.
tain for the "open door" policy put
forward by the late Secretary Hay,
but just how successful such stand
would be or what effect it would
have on the threatened American
japanese embroglio none cared to
predict, With the formal complaint
Of the Russian government against
the action OF the American consul at
Hardin in declining to acknowledge
Russian rule there, has come the first
indication Of the course the United
States will pursue in this connection.
| It develops that Consul Fisher was
only carrying out positive orders
when he firmly declined to treat with
the Russian authorities and acknow-
ledge their sovereignty over that ter
ritory, maintaining that he has been
accredited solely to China and hence
could not but acknowledge Chinese
supremacy. 1t is known that the
German consul at Harbin has taken
the same stand, while the representa-
tive of the French government ac-
quiesced in the Muscovite demands,
Baron Rosen, the Russian Ambassa-
dor to this country, has held several
conferences with Secretary of State
Root in connection with this matter,
and it is understood that Mr. Root
has rmeinded the diplomat that his
government specifically relinquished
all rights in Manchuria and North
China, not enjoyed under lease, in the
Treaty Of Portsmouth at the close Of
the late Russo-Japanese war, and
that America will act in pursuance Of
the terms of that document. It Is
interesting to note that since the ter

hand in exploiting Manchuria and
North China for mutual commercial
and territorial gain. While it is not
believed that Russia, or Japan, will
do aught but admit the justice OF this
country's position. there are a number
Of possibilities which might eventu-
ate from this situation. The two
countries might even go so far as to
repudiate the Treaty Of Portsmouth,
insofar, at least, as relates to their
REIMBURSEMENT Of the sovereign
rights which they now assert. What
ever they might do, however, the
United States doubtless will adhere
strictly to the conditions laid down
in the Portsmouth peace treaty rec
ognizing China's sovereignty over the
disputed territory. Such situation
certainly would be an anomalous one,
but while it is not likely to arise, it is
not beyond the realm of the possible.
