Il intend to vote the republican pres
idential ticket. A man cannot act both
without and within the party. He can
do either, but he cannot possibly do
both. 1t is impossible to combine the
functions of a guerrilla chief with
those of a colonel in the regular army.
The one has greater independence or

what action he does take vastly more

welt do? Will he be regular, like Taft

rilla," like LaFollette, Clapp, Bristow,
Dolliver, Cummins, and millions Of

WASHINGTON, March 5.-(Special
to Statesman Washington political
circles are no better informed now as
to what attitude Theodore Roosevelt
is gong to take in the approaching
congressional elections than they were
a month ago. Standpatters. progress
sives and democrats are straining their
ears for sounds that will indicate as to
which side of the fence the strenuous
expres:dent and rhyme hunter Is going
to be on, as regards the Taft and La
Toilette factions of the republican par
ty. But SO far not an mixing of infor-
nation apepars to have been received
from Africa.
Pending information from the CORE
spondents awaiting Roosevelt in Cairo,
both standpatters and progressives are
claiming Roosevelt's sympathy. The
progressives are unable to see how
Roosevelt can indorse Taft without in
dorsing Aldrich and Cannon. The three
are inseparably linked.
The president, Senator Aldr:ch and
Speaker Cannon form a triumvirate.
They cooperate even on the smallest
things, and each OF the triumvirs pup
licly pays tribute to the wisdom and
craftsmanship of the other two.
If Colonel Roosevelt should go so far
as to endorse the Taft-Aldrich Cannon
president of the New York State
League of Republican clubs asserts he
will do, it is difficult to see how he can
retain his present hold on those west

This rebuff from China and her fl

bad breaks by the state department
since the peppery little Pittsburg law

The door Hay opened, and Root kept

frightened her grip on Manchuria.
China has lost the feeling that the
great American nation is her protec-
tor. and, by the same token a good
merchant from whom to buy goods.
To the south, Central America is
boiling over. South America is an
cry and suspicious and Mexico is in
dignant and uneasy.

President Taft appointed Charles r.
Crane of Chicago minister to China
without consulting Knox before maxi

will run his own department or re-

R0osevelt's Attitude
An Uncertain Quantity

ern editors who have recently been
voicing their dissatisfaction with the
Taft administration. An endorsement
of Taft by Roosevelt will in all like
lihood mean that Senator Robert M.
IaFollette will step into Teddy Roose-
velt's place as the logical one to rescue
the republican leadership from the con-
troll of the trusts and special interests.
But will Roosevelt endorse the work
of Taft? In their eagerness to arrive
at some conclusion, both standpatters
and progressives have gone over his
record with a fine tooth comp. Here
are some of the things they found:
That as an assemblyman In New
York state, as civil service commits
sioner, and as police commissioners,
Roosevelt was regarded less as a re-
publican than as an Independent. He
was theoretically, at least, in those
days, a believer in free-trade. He CO.
operated freely with Mr. Cleveland
when the latter was governor of New
York, and, and he opposed the nom1n-
alton of James G. Blaine in 1884. Carl
catures OF that period represented him
as mugwump, grouping him with
George William Curtis and Carl
SchurZ. Yet none the less he was as
sentially a party man, and after Blaine
received the nomination, Roosevelt
of his attitude at that time was in
teresting, and may be now carefully
weighed by anyone who may desire to
try to prophecy what Roosevelt is go

The aftermath of the effort of Private
James Hall to secure release from the
naval prison here through a spurious
confession that he had murdered Miss
Anna Schumacher at Greece, N Y,
In August last, will come within a few
days in the form of a naval court mar
tial, arrangements for which have now
been completed. The charge against
Hall is conduct to the prejudice of
good order and discipline" and the spe-

One Of the questions which will be
involved in the proceedings will con-
Germ the jurisdiction OF the court mar

WASHINGTON, March 5.-China
has registered her protest against the
presence of ]. Pierpont Morgan in the
American state department
This protest is the final, definite,
positive refusal to let American bank
ers participate in the HankoW Szech-
uen railway loan. 1t was not because
the Chinese have a prejudice against
American bankers but that they do
have prejudice against Morgan.
1t was not for American bankers,
but for the banking house of ]. P.
Morgan & Co, that Secretary Knox
fought for this loan. The Chinese
knew this as well as do well-infor m-
ed people in Washington and Wall
street.
Morgan handled the deal, six years
ago. when the Hankow- Canton rail-
road, the Brice concession, changed
hands. The Chinese have peculiar no.
tions of business honor.
Morgan turned loose before some
astonished s!ant-eyes about the whole
