PROGRESSIVE CHINA
May Soon Be Possessor of a PopuIa,
Parliament.

Peklns. Oct. Sl.-It is believed that
the throne has decided to accede IN
the demand of the Senate and tho
provincial delegates for the early
&C invocation OF popular Parliament
In the Senate today and in the
presence of the leading grand co,m.
ciiiors, Prince Yr Lang, a member
or the grand council, stated that the
ertire nation from the highest to the
lowest. was agreed upon the necessity
~ !nc carry establishment OF a gem
eral Parliament. The senators. who
UNDERSTOOD this to mean that the
present memorial would be granted
received the declaration of the prince
with loud and prolonged cheering
Tue Importance Of this concession on
the part of the government can be
scarcely overesti,:,ated in view of its
recent refusal to entertain a similar
request made Ivy delegation from
the provincial assemblies last June.
/ the program fixed by the late En-
press Dowager provided for the con-
tstltution Of a general representative
legislative body to be known as the
imperial Parliament in 1915, at the
END "f ninc-year period of prepara-
lion. No sooner had this plan been
male known in a decree than popu-
Ear agitation was begun to influence
tfr- throne to advance the date when
|hina might have truly representa-
tive government.
The provincial assemblies met and dis.
cussed the matter and received the sup
port of the merchants throughout the
country. They sent delegation to Pc
king to memorable the throne, but the
prince regent promptly announced that
the original program would be adhered
to. On Oct 3 last the new Senate met for
the first time. OF it's 200 members 100 had
been appointed by the throne and there
was every indication that 1t would ac-
complish but little except as it reflected
the wishes Of the central government
Nevertheless the Senate early develop
ed an opposition party. composed of the
provincial delegates. and this party has
since conducted an active campaign look
ing to the recognition of the Senate by
the grand council as body with execu-
tive power rather than that it's dehbera-
tons should be of an advisory character.
Meantime the viceroys and governors
of provinces supported the opposition by
memoralizing the throne regarding an
early opening of the proposed parliament
On Oct. 26 the Senate adopted by an al
most unanimous vote memorial to thu
throne praying for the establishment of
a popular Parliament at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Two days later the throne ordered the
grand council to consider the memorial
and today's announcement by Prince Yu
Lang Is accepted as the decision Of the
grand councillors that the popular de-
mand should be granted.

FOsS GIVES WARNING
That He Will Continue to Attack Sen.
ator, Lodge In His Speeches.

Springfield, Mass, Oct. 31.-In Gloss
ing a speech devoted largely to an at.
tack upon Senator Lodge and his
statements that he is and has been fol
years in favor of reciprocity with
Canada, Congressman Eugene N: Foss
the Democratic candidate for governor
of Massachusetts, tonight gave the
senator warning that he is to be the
subject of another campaign speech to-
morrow night. At that time Mr.. Foss
proposes, according to his statement
tonight, to ask Senator Lodge about
his votes on the wool schedule. AL
though much of his address tonight
was devoted to Senator Lodge, Mr..
Foss did not forget his opponent Gov.
Draper He said in part:
MY stand pat friends are very
anxious to know how this government
is to raise the revenue which it re-
qures for support of my program of
putting food supplies. on the free list
is carried out 1 answer them by a
graduated income tax The wealthy
men of the United States are not bear
ing their just share of the burdens of
government. The. income tax is so
fair form of taxation that every
other civilized nation on the face of
the earth adopted it years ago and to
our shame be it said it Is the wealthy
men like Gov. Draper and the men Of
the class he represents who oppose
this tax.
Senator Lodge says he is in favor of
reciprocity but he has always by his
every public act done everything he
could to throttle any legislation look
ing toward reciprocity. He opposed
even the introduction of plank on
reciprocity at the state convention
only six years ago, and sneered and
iibed at the men who asked for it. Will
Senator Lodge do everything in his
power to secure an untaxed food sup
ply for the people? viii he do all he
can to lower the tariff on the necessi-
ties of life? Will he stand by Presi-
dent Taft to see that the income tax
legislation asked by President Taft is
passed by the incoming Legislature?
The public demands are plain for
you. Senator Lodge. What is your re-
oly?" Congressman Foss also spoke
at Chicopee, Westfield and Holyoke.

tariff. Mr.. Parker made plea for a
'ederal statue which will compe! pub

Election and a law which will stop any
President or public officer from de-
handing corporations which are par

ute to political parties.

New York had got one and he wanted
Connecticut to have one. He said it was
