DECLINES THROUGHOUT THE LIST,
WITH DEALERS AT SEA ON
PROBABILITIES.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Wall street
is literally at sea over the future Of the
market. Frequently gossip from mem
bers Of the same firm was at variance.
II is a case of a trading market where
the trader would do well to ignore ad-
vice and gossip and take his chances.
The ca-sful investor will probably ad-
NIT that he doesn't like the condition of
things and decide to wait yet a little
longer for some of the things in the way
to blow over and then buy and probably
ut a lower range from that current to-
day.
The news from Washington furnished
no assurance. Some brokers expressed
the opinion that the victory for the COM
bined forces of Democrats and ''insur-
gents would make for the peace OF the
business man. the letting alone for a
time, and a let-up in legislation. Just
how this reasoning can be brought down
TO date is something of a cOnundrum-

HEARST AND TAFT

ETT ILLIAM r. HEARST continues
w his abuse of Roosevelt and his
W praise of Taft. The cause is
not far to seek. Hearst in his selfish
pursuit of notoriety and power is not
lacking in a certain shrewdness, all
though whether it is entirely his own
or is partly absorbed or borrowed
from Arthur Brisbane, John Temple
Graves and his other thinkers is ques-
toned. He sees in Roosevelt a pow
erful stumbling block. In his egotis-
ticaI mind it is not impossible that he
will be a candidate for the presidency
It is also not impossible that he might
be pitted against the eX-president, al
though saner minds would put such
thought away as absurd. In pop
ular suffrage race the former president
would make a holy show of the yellow
editor and he feels that in his bones.
But Hearst knows also that the
American people have already put the
Indian sign on Mr.. Taft. The presi-
dent is regarded as an amiable and
able man, too prone to yield to bad
influence and advice 1t is doubtful
whether Mr. Taft could be elected
against any adversary today, unless
it happened to be man with the
rank record of Hearst. in his vanity
Hearst does not appreciate that his
record is an offense to most people
He has been advised by his able en-
ployes, who play on that vanity, that
if Mr.. Taft can be praised and kept
in the foreground he (the presidenD
would be easy to vanquish at the
proper time.
If such a contingency should arise,
watch and see Hearst unlimber his
mud batteries on Taft, regardless of
his present praise, just as he has done
in the cases of Mckinley, Roosevelt
Gaynor and many others that occur
to mind.

est Louis
War between civilized nations is OBJ
solute because it no longer pays. This
is the message of Norman Angel, an
American who has resided in Europe
for some years and who has started a
serious discussion by the publication of
a little book entitled "EurOpe's Optical
Delusion."
There is a widespread belief that
modern war has its excuse in the de-
mands of commerce for expansion. In
other words, that armies and especially
naVies are indispensable to trade" "
This delusion was badly expressed in
an English newspaper under the intlu-
ence of the anti-German scare. Said
the writer:
"If Germany were eXtinguished to-
morrow there is not an Englshman in
the world who would not the day after
tomorrow be the richer. Nations have
foughts for years over a city or right
of succession. Must they not fight for
G2500 0000 yearly commerce"
Most sensible people agree with Mr..
Angel in characterizing this as some
thing (which ought to be as offensive
to educated folk as a defense of astrol-
ogy or witchcraft"
Other British papers inludged in Vis-
IONS OF NTtlllldll tIIIlIGS lOONiIS 'i'N
Bank of England. Mr.. Angel shows
that so intimately interviewer are the
finances of the nations that the banks
of Germany would fall along with the
Bank of England, and the bank ac-
counts of Germans, including that of
the generalissimo engaged in the loot
ing of London. would be swept away in
such an event.
But, instead of advancing German
trade, the conquest of Britain by Ger
man arms would wipe out tremen-
dous part of that trade. And so of eV-
cry nation engaged in conflict. Even
the nations at peace would not perma-
nently profit from war.
Instead of bui'dng up trade the great
navies have been a detriment to 1t,
The prosperity of the smaller nations
which have no navies and very small
armies is greater than that of the
armed great nations. "The trade per
capita of the small nations Is in excess
of the trade of the great ones And
the small nations are more secure In
their trade So much so that the
worlds hnanciers have decided, by
their Investments. that "the funds of
the undefended nation are more secure

CHuRCHMAN SAYS THIS is
A DAY OF INSURGENCY

Editor Herald: Advance information
announcing the appearance of an arti-
Gle in the West Coast Magazine, prom
ising great things and urging early
orders of the June number, was sent
to the clergy of the church and per-
haps others 1t professed to be a new
edition of Tracts for the Times" 1t
came and has gone 1t was styled
"Resurgent Catholicism" 1t should
better have been called "Mediaeval
Catholicism" 1t does not describe the
position of any considerable number
of Episcopalian clergy or laity and
is not to be taken seriously by the
public. 1t is but one of the airings
which the ritualistic school feel
called on periodically to treat us to.
And while it does not ruffie even the
surface of the Episcopal church, it may
yet create the impression among the
Protestant Christians that the old
church is looking backward instead of
going forward with the forward move
ment.
This resurgent Catholicism is but a
barking back to dark ages of the
church the clouds of which were rent
apart by the Renaissant Catholicism.
revealing the true mission of the
church of the Divine Lord and Founder.
1t would fain return to those condi-
tions. 1t cannot read the signs of the
times Medieval Catholicism has be-
come obsolete and her adherents are
becoming modernists. Modernist is a
word the resurgent should well learn
and adopt, or insurgent, for this is a
day of insurgency.
Let the Christian church remember
that "high" and "low" are obsolete
terms today. The church is broad or
narrow. 1t is broad as it is expansive,
inclusive, catholic; it is. narrow
as it is exclusive, elective, re-
surgent The spirit marks the school,
not the form or ritual. Some of the
former highest churchmen are broad
comprehensive. and some of the lowest
are found in the narrow school. The
practice of the apostles with those who
followed not was typical of the narrow.
Their Lord was and showed broad
catholic spirit, and the insurgent is a
disciple of him. EPISCOPALIAN.

No War, Says Japanese Friend

Japan's only hope to become one of
the worlds powers is peace and she Is
now applying her nations vigors ana
energies to encourage and stimulate
the establishment of industries and
commerce, while many European coun-
tries are Intoxicating in building navys
and establishing armies thinking that
the war is the valor and the prime
agency in the human progress and the
worlds advancement to civilization. 1t
Is not Japan who Is preparing for
war, but they are all European coun-
tries.
We Japanese are always appreciat-
ing for the past kindness of Ameri~
can people and we feel respect of the
part that Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, with
the prestige of the leadership of
American people was able to play In
Fastening the end of the war. Peace
has come under circumstances honor
able to both countries and Japan haV-
ing proved her greatness in war as
in peace has taken her stand in the
first rank of the family of the nations.
The growth of Japan from hermit
country to her present position in the
last fifty years is the marvel of the
world. In every step of her progress
from the beginning till present time,
we owe much of our civilization to the
United States and l know you Ameri-
cans are proud or recording that facC
that japan has always had the cordial
sympthy and at times the effective aid
of the United States. The names OF
benefactors. Commodore Perry of
Townsend Harris, of John d. Blng-
ham, of General Grant and Theodore
Roosevelt and William H. Taft will
be inseparably connected with the his
tory of the advance of Japan to the
first rank among the world powers
Why Japan wishes Il war with our
dear old Uncle Sam, who helped our
advancement?
1t is certain that there are few ig-
norant politicaS3 and newspaper men
who are always straining their nerves
to bring up the war question between
japan and America just for the sake
of their personal benefit or some
thought of commissions or bribes from
shipbuilding companies. But no matter
what statements they make to the pub
lic no matter what re .,orts may come;
no matter what criticisms may be ut
tered the world and God will have
confidence that Japan and America
are the two undividable friend coun-
tries bounded together by half a cen-
tury of good. and warm friendship.

TWO MURDERERS

i T is too soon TO assume that DR..
Crippen, the former Los Angeles
n physician, is guilty of the crime
of killing his wife in cold blood in
England. though the evidence of du
plicity on his part in the matter of her
disappearance is seemingly so con-
elusive that it is difficult to withhold
Judgment in the matter of the muir
der. If it should prove that he is the
slayer he will have been the second
American citizen of some social prom
inence within a short time to horrify
Europe with a particularly atrocious
deed, the other being Porter Charlton,
whose extradition appears still to be
uncertain.
In Charltons case it is not pleasant
to note his American birthright is
being used to shield him from the con-
sequences of his crime, owing to the
technical omission from the Italo
American extradition treaty of any
provision covering the crime of muir
der. In the case of Crippen, if he
should succeed in reaching these
SHORES llO SuGl bdilltA Nlll dNtlll AlAAiA'
for the reason that cases like his are
explicitly covered in the English
treaty.
Italy refuses to extradite accused
murderers, perhaps because she does
not believe in capital punishment al
though it is said her method of life
Imprisonment is tenfold worse than
death, or perhaps for the less worthy
motive of indifference because the
numerous cases of murderers who
have committed their deeds in Italy
and fed to this land have been for the
most part of the lower classes and
deemed a good riddance.
England would have cause to speak
harshly if Crippen should find in our
flag the protecting folds that Charl-
ton seems to have found. 1t is no
excuse that Italy refuses to do the
right thing We might better set her
a good example by eXtraditing Charl-
ton and trusting to the influence of
the act to bring her to a sense Of her
responsibility. 1t is enough discredit
to US to have Americans of education
and apparent culture shedding wo
mems blood in a cowardly manner
without seeming to let them fly here
for safe refuge.
