\ NEW RUSSIAN MENACE,

In no way has czar-ridden Russia
offered better evidence OF It's inef.
fectual government than to-day in
connection with the cholera plague.
Having shown itself regardless OF the
rights OF its people on every possible
occasion in the past. the Russian gov
eminent Is to-day displaying a woefnl
inadequacy to protect its peoples
health and lives. 1t is, indeed, irony
of pathetic kind when the populace
OF ST. Petersburg are told, as now, that
the visitation OF the dread plague has
come as punishment upon them be-
Fcause OF their lawlessness. The car
would make his poor, unfortunate
subjects believe that he and Heaven
are very close to each other and that
It only requires a suggestion from him,
when his people rebel against him, for
the Almighty to bring visitations Of
more dire plague upon them than the
present one. Truly we are not with
out examples Of government by sup
perstition IN those latter days, right in
the heart OF Europe, such as we read
about in our anthropologies
No better comparison to show the
utter inadequacy of the Russian gov
eminent could be made than in the
present connection. Not only did the
authorities at st. Petersburg take no
apparent precautions to prevent a
plague Of cholera, In spite Of the many
and urgent warnings since early sum-
mer, but now that the plague has
come, II has found them unprepared,
and, what Is far worse, almost lndif-
! ferent. The governments Of Germany,
Austria, Sweden, France, England,
and the United States have shown
quito as much interest in the situation
as the cars government, not only
taking steps to protect their peoples,
but sending representatives to make a
careful study Of the plague In actual
operation and thus add to their knowl-
edge Of how best to combat It, Rus
sian immigrants to this country are
now being detained on the other side
The cholera could find few places
more favorable for Its dire harvest Of
death than St, Petersburg city famed
for its lack of sanitation. The system

After the repeated evidences of late
OF friendliness and good-feeling on

A HUMAN DOCUMENT.

A clearly interesting feature of the
Foraker tragedy Is the impressive
light in which It sets Mr.. Taft forth
as man of principle. SO impressive
Is the letter which President Roose-
welt gives out for publication without
Taft's knowledge that one almost re-
grets the president felt called upon to
add characteristic comments OF his
own. They are plainly not needed In
any understanding Of the mans Taft
which the letter presents, all the more
80 because, too. the letter was written
over year ago II requires no elabo-
ration In other words.
Mr.. Taft let It be known in July a
i, year ago to friend who was urging
him TO negotiate a compromise With
Senator Foraker that the adverse con-
clusion he had reached was not hast
ened by personal dislike OF the sem
ator but was based upon principle
alone. "He has opposed the vital poll
icies and principles Of the administra-
. ton and in his opposition has seized
upon and magnifed an important but
Incidental matter to embarrass the ad
ministration, using In this. without
scruple, a blind race prejudice to ac-
complish his main purpose II was
confronted with a mere factionai diff
ference within the party, not involv-
,s1ng subject which must come up
for consideration and action BY the
next republican national convention,

olusion, 1t Is really question of pol
itical principle" Earlier he had said
Il don't care for the presidency II II
has to come by compromise with SEN
ator Foraker or any one else In a mat
ter of principle
Whatever one may think of Mr.
Taft's political views no one can deny
the really fine instinct which dictated
this Judgment. The letter was writ
ten and probably forgotten long age
by Mr.. Taft. but the judgment which
prompted 1t Is exactly the same. Blu,
what Is more to the point 1t presents
to the country at large an unexpected
explanation ,of why Mr.. Taft has held
himself aloof from the Ohio senator
in spite OF the jealous efforts Of mutua
friends to bring them together. 4
