FROM THE
MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER
AMERICA AND CHINA,

|
The president in his message urging
the building of four warships attempts
to use China as an argument In favor
OF a big navy plan. He says: 1T
would be equally foolish to rely upon
each OF them possessing at all times
and under all circumstances and prov.
ocations an altruistic regard for the
rights OF others. Those who hold this
view are blind indeed to all that has
gone on before their eyes in the world
at large. They are blind to what has
happened in China. In Turkey, in the
Spanish possessions, in Central and
South Africa during the last dozen
years.
For centuries China has cultivated
the very spirit which our pcace.at.any.
For centuries China has refused to
provide military forces and has treated
the career OF the soldier as inferior In
honor and regard to the career OF the
merchant or the man of letters There
never has been so large an empire

lutely proceeded on the theory OF DO.

SECRETARY TAFT MlsoUoTED.

Secretary Taft claims that he has
been misquoted. He did not say that
we must look forward to gigantic
controversy between labor and cap.
ital; he was quoted as saying this.
but as expressing the hope that It
would be peaceably settled What
he said was; THAT unless laborers
united into organizations, the labor.
or would stand no chance In that in.
evitable controversy that we always
hope will be peaceful, but that must
exist-that inevitable controversy as
to how labor and capital shall share
the joint product Of both"

ting Mr. Taft right before the public.
for II can appreciate the annoyance
of incorrect reports of speeches.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE.

Mr.. James 7. Lloyd. Democratic
member Of congress from Missouri,
has been made chairman of the Dem.
ocratic congressional committee, and
has in charge the campaign that is
being prosecuted for the election Of a
Democratic congress The work OF
this committee Is scarcely second to
the work of the national committee,
for without house Of representatives,
n Democratic administration is help
less. With a Democratic house o. rep
resentatives the president is able to
bring pressure to bear upon the sen.
ate. for the president and the house
working together can present issues
TO the senate and focus public opn.
ion upon remedial legislation.
Mr., LlOyd's committee is dem.
ocratic committee-a committee com.
posed of real Democrats who are
welded to Democratic ideas. and who
are making a fight for Democratic re.
forms That being true. the commit.
tee has no disposition TO collect funds
from predatory corporations, and
could not secure such contributions IL
It desired TO. II must make its fight
upon the contributions sent in by the
Democrats who are Interested in Dem.
ucratic success. The Commoner,
therefore, appeals to its readers to
send contributions to Mr.. Lloyd for
the carrying on of this work. The
Democratic fight ought to be made by
the rank and file of the party: a small
sacrifice on the part OF each Democrat
would enable the committee to sup
ply the necessary literature and get
the party records before the public.
