Jaw and Superiaw.

Mr.. c. Bernard Shaw is quick to
recognize a disciple whenever he finds
him. Accordingly, when a city mag
istrate upbraided, or was alleged to
have upbraided, one of the striking
shirt waist makers for not being at
work saying to her, You are on
strike against God and nature, whose
prime law is that man shall earn his
bread in the sweat of his brow. You
are on strike against Cod it was in
evitable that the heart of G. Bernard
Shaw should leap and that his tongue
should quickly follow after. A sem
timent so purely Shawian is not ex-
pressed by magistrate every day in
the year.
Naturally Mr.. Shaw could not let
it pass. Such discipleship deserved
encouragement. Jaw had spoken, and
superjaws must recognize. According
ly this cablegram:
Delightful, medieval America-al-

dence of the Almighty
BERNARD SHAW.
From teacher to pupil, from master
to prentice hand-it was such mes
sage of approval and delight as only
the heart uttereth. No envy there, no
jealousy; only a pellucid pleasure that
the pattern-the pattern of the super
jaw-had been followed so faith
fully.
But let the city magistrate beware.

self in imminent danger of utterly
subversive appropriation The master

At a meeting Of the Kansas Audubon
society which was held at Wichita the
other day decision was reached by it's
members to make renewed efforts to
get favorable action at the hands Of
the next legislature on a bill which
will provide for the protection of the
non-game and harmless birds of the
state. Everybody in the state ought to
lend what help he can towards the
accomplishment of this purpose. A
similar measure was before the last
legislature 1t it was permitted to fall
by the Wayside.

Not so many days are now left be-
fore the registration books close for
the primaries incident to the estab-
lishment of the commission form OF
government and the choice of six men
to serve on the school board. These
are two of the most important mat
tiers that the voters of Topeka have
been called upon to decide in a long
time. A heavy registration is essen
tial so that the sentiment of the peo-
pie can be expressed on these mat
tiers in a convincing fashion.

Knox and Nranchuria.

Secretary Knox has committed no
indiscretion in broaching his scheme
for putting the railways of Manchuria
on business basis under information
al auspices. He stands to win some
thing for American commercial inter-
estS and for the cause of lasting peace
in Asia. and there is no reason why
his demand should endanger the rela-
tions of the United States with any
country.
We are told that the Japanese do
not regard the proposition with ia
vor. It may that they do not, but
they can find no reasonable fault with
it, inasmuch as it absolutely in har-
mony with the Portsmouth treaty. Nor
are they in position to pick a quar-
rel over it.
The interest of all Europe and
Asia. with the possible exception
of Russia, is plainly involved in the
taking of Manchurian and other Chi
nese railroads out of politics. Great
Britain, though the political ally of
Japan, had no interest whatever in
a political scheme which would even
tually make Manchuria about one
quarter Russian and the other three
of her commerce; and Great Britain
must welcome the opportunity to es-
cape from an apparent obligation to
back japan UP in bargain unprofit-
able to British iterests
Russia herself stands to gain, in
the long run, by the naturalization of
these railways. 1t would make her
commercial communication with her
Pacific ports secure, and for her mil
itary communications she is depending
on the Amur River railway, now under
construction, by way of Khabarovsk,
entirely on the original Russian ter
ritory.
We believe that Secretary Knox has
not made these representations to the
powers without the assurance that he
is standing on secure ground, and that
the approval of Europe is really with
him. 1t is quite within the possibili-
ties that Japan herself has by this
time realized that she has reached out
for a larger slice of China than she can
handle, and will welcome an opportun
ity to let some of it go-particularly
if, by SO doing, the way is left open
for the annexation of Korea and its
eventual complete incorporation as
Japanese territory.
1t is a safe prediction that the Knox
policy will develop a support among
the European cabinets that will sur
prise its critics of the press, and that
its success will increase American
prestige and further American CONNER
cial interests in China without involv-
ing any of us in any dangerous politi-
cal xperiment.-New York Mail.

EROA OTHER PENS

A railroad president says the Ameri-
can people are making fuss over high
prices because they are bad losers. The
query then arises: What is a bad
loser? If our impression is correct,

person who enters a game of chance

which, naturally, he doesn't want to
leave. The interests which control pro-
duction on the other hand, place their
money on a bet that prices will go
! higher or that their profits will con-
stantly grow bigger. Now in a game
of chance the loser is generally con-
sidered justified in making an outcry
when he discovers he has been made
the victim of put-up job. No one
has any sympathy with a gamester

LIMITING THE IMMUNITY BATH.
The decision of the federal judge in
the Aeike case, growing out of the SUI
gar frauds, is of great and general
public interest. 1t is a warning to Of
lenders ard a reasonable limitation o.
the immunity shower bath.
Heike, secretary and treasurer of the
sugar trust was indicted for alleged
completely in the sugar customs frauds
frauds of the most vulgar and sordid
characcer-after the officers and direct
ors OF the trust had soiemnly voted
themselves a clean bill of health. Did
Heike protest his innocence and de-
nand an imne date trial? No; he
pleaded immunity, on the ground that
he had testified before grand jury
in an antitrust proceeding. There was
absolutely no connection between that
proceeding and the underweighlng
frauds, and had the law been construed
&c require the upholding of the plea it
would have been converted into shield
cent. The immunity bath would have
been made a sort of nationwide show
er bath.
But the judge of the circuit court has
rejected The plan. HeilSe must now
stand trial-having meantime lost the
legal presumption of Innocence. The re-
suit of the trial will depend on the evil
dence in the hands of the government.
