sc completely prevail. Each village IN
the empire is an all but independent
entity. That fact may. aS one CORE
spondent suggests. be a source of weak
Tess to the revolt, since il results IN
lack of effective cooperation; but it OBJ
viously would count much toward max
ing republican system workable If il
were TO be undertaken. The fraterni-
zation of many imperial soldiers with
the insurgents, the practical secession
of whole provincial government ana
the establishment of an organized adj
ministration by the insurgents indicate
the possibility that the revolt may be-
come revolution If so. its effect upon
the imperial programme for establishing
constitutional government would be
regarded with profound interest by the
world.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
mr. Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. In giving accounts OF deplorable con-
ditions among men and things II seems the
usual custom OF newspapers and magazines
10 content themselves with statement OF
the facts I'm the case without attempting 10
suggest any adequate remedy for the dis-
ease IN the case of railroads the people
who own and manage them know very Wen
how they ought to DC run, and II they are
not run right 1t Is in consequence OF IN
ordinate greed and criminal Indifference to
the rights Of the public.
To remedy this I would fine railroad COM
nantes 500 600 for every man killed on their
lines and require immediate payment ana
proportionate amount for every one In
iured-one-thlrd Of the amount TO go to the
government and two-thrds to the parties
injured | would fine or imprison, or both,
every man who had anything whatever TO
do with the running OF the train at the
fine OF the accident" Train dispatcher,
conductor. engineer. fireman, brakeman
etc. even to the candy butcher, all must be
made personally interested in the safe run
ming of that train. In case of very gross
carelessness. resulting I'm great loss of life,
I would hang or whip, brand and Danish
the guilty parties. under penalty OF death
II they ever returned.
Dlaz made an approach toward this end,
but did not dare 20 far enough, for Year
of the United States government, which so
kindly looks after and protects Its infamous
scoundrels. This country needs an ebso-
lutte dictator who is entirely fearless. has
sound sense and everyday up-to-date wis
dom. Issue an "ultimatum" to the rail-
road companies that If within five years
the roads are not made and run perfectly
safe, efficiently and with adequate facili-
ties TO handle all traffic offered they Will
be confscated to the government That's
all. You need not trouble yourself about
details: railroad men will attend to that

and lofts is an old and familiar process
in this city. Years ago. when transpor-
tation from the tropics was much slower
than 1t is now. most OF such fruits, nnu
also citrus fruits. were picked green ana
were permitted TO ripen on the SLOW Noy-
age hither and In storehOuses after they
had been landed. II was supposed that
il was necessary TO do this, rs fruit II
picked ripe would spoil before it was
landed. and so arose the then well
founded saying that people here had no
idea Of the real flavor of those fruits
where they grew. But all that Is or
should now be changed. Swift steam
transportation makes II possible to let
fruit ripen where It grows and get 1t
10 this market In perfect condition.
There may be more danger Of loss and
4 smaller margin Of profit in so doing.
But that Is not the essential consldera-
ton. The real point Is, which kind OF
fruit is most wholesome.
To that question the one possible an
swer can he given without hesitation,
as also TO the question which is the more
palatable. Those who have once tasted
bananas. plantains or oranges which
have ripened naturally on the plants or
trees find ii hard TO tolerate the substi-
tutes which have been "ripened" in
stOrehouses or which have simply had
their skins bleached with chemicals.
Those who have tasted both know also
that ii is possible TO get those fruits here
in New York just as perfect in flavor as
In the tropics, but they must be those
which were ripened in the tropics before
they were picked. It il altogether proba-
bic that the enormously increased CON
of plantains and bananas here
I'm recent years Is due to the great i'm
prOvement in their quality through at
least large proportion Of them having
been ripened naturally lnsistence upon
such treatment of all Of them would
doubtless be for the public good.

PRESIDENT JAcKsoNs LINEAGE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of october IL note
communication from a correspondent VINO
rejolces in the Scotch-Irish 60 patronymic
of MGinnis, who states that President
Jackson was a descendant Of the Scotch
men who settled Ulster
by the Eternal Sir, this is bold
statement to make in face of the fact that
the illustrious soldier (who gave the British
the most signal defeat they ever suitered)
himself has put on record that my
parerts were Irish" For he himself has
said IT, and it's greatly to his credit
Perhaps Mr. MGinnis would Ike to claim
that John c. Calhoun was "a descendant oil
the Scotchmen who settled Ulster not
withstanding the fact that the great states
man boasted of his Irish descent

THE CHINESE REVOLT.

The revolt in China has one reasSur-
sng feature. as we remarked at the be-
ginning. II is not directed against for
picnerS. Its leaders have not merely re-
Trained from manifesting hostility TO
foreigners. but have also taken pains to
give orders that under heavy penalties,
they are not TO be mOleSted. This may
he due 10 more enlightened view of
affairs than that which formerly pre-
walled. taken by Young China leaders
fwho have travelled abroad and have
been freed from superstition concerning
'fOreign devils or il may he due 10
nothing but discretion and fear. gath
cred from former disastrous experiences
which have taught the Chinese that the
killing of foreigners must be paid for
heavily in treasure or blood. or both.
Whatever the explanation. however, the
fact is 10 be regarded with satisfaction.
and it is earnestly to be hoped that it
will remain the fact throughout the con
fict Then we shall he narrowed by no
tales Of outrage and there will he no
demand nor pretext for foreign inter
NentiOn.
The revolt began as protest against
the policy Of the government in giving
railroad and other concessions to for
ejgners. 1t has DOW developed into
AN extensive and formidable uprising
against the ManChu dynasty and even
against the monarchical form of govern
ment. The leadC-i are raising the old
cry of TAPPING days. China for the
Chinese meaning the true Chinese OF
the Middle Kingdom as distinguished
from the ManchuS and Tartars. and are
adding 10 IL the ideal OF a republican
form of government DR. Sun Yat-sen,
who is supposed 10 be at the head Of
the movement, has lived much in Eng
land and America, has become imbued
with the rcpublcanism Of those coun-
tries and is eager to persuade his coun-
frymen that the most effective way of
getting rid Of Manchu dominance is
through getting rid Of the whole mon
archical system. OF course, under pOpu-
lar suffrage the empire would be con
trolled by the real Chinese. who enor-
Inously outnumber the Manchus
The proposal TO transform The Chinese
Empire into republic would have
seemed eXtrayaeanty fantastic a few
years ago. and it may even now be i'm
practicable Yet strange things are hap
pcning IN these days, and achievements
have become commonplace which less
than n generation ago seemed mpOssi-
bic. This fact must be recognized that
the Chinese are in some respects the
most democratic people in the world.

No citizen can afford to be careless
about registering, and thus securing TO
himself his right to vote, because this is
called an "off year" politically. It is far
from being an off~year. Though no Gov
ernor is to be elected, an important state
campaign is being waged, for Murphy's
domination over the Legislature is at
stake. IF the Assembly is wrested from
his grasp, his power to njure the public
by vicious election laws will have de.
parted. The excellent fusion ticket in
New York County gives voters here
splendid chance to defeat the Tammany
boss in his stronghold. With Murphy
rule the issue, it is not an of year. Yet
no man who fails to register can have
the privilege of helping to defeat Murphy
on Election Day. Register to-day!

ANTEnTRPHY DEMOCRACY.


1t is an interesting array of reasons
which James j. Martin. once Cookers
right-h hand man. furnishes for his support
of the fusion ticket. Mr.. Martin speaks
IS a Democrat, and to Democrats, when
he talks of the opportunity to vote
against the selfishnesS, oppression and
stupidity which characterize the Tam
many management" Yet his reasons
are the reasons which should urge every
good citizen, regardless of party lines. TO
work and vote against Murphy rule in
city and state.
Accurately recognizing Governor Dix
as one of Murphy's assets. Mr. Martin
places on Murphy through his Legislat-
urc and Governor the onus of the vicious
Levy election law, with it's bald assault
on voters rights, which the Court of APP
peals declared void. He charges TO Muir
Phys eXecutive-legislative machine the
scandalous prizefght law. He holds
Murphy and his Governor and Legislat-
urc responsible for "a sham direct rOmi-
nations law" lie holds Murphy and
Mayor GaynOr responsible for heavy in
crease in taxation and assails the Mayor
for failure TO redeem his subway prom
Uses. Finally he cites the lobbying and
machine work for the unlamented Muir
phy-Gaynor charter,
All these reasons can be summarized in
two words-"Murphy rule Mr.. Martin
says the defeat of Tammany's ticket this
year will strengthen the Democratic
party in 1912. Defeat Of Murphy, in so
far as it tends to deprive him of influ-
ence in his party. cannot fail to benefit
that party and the people.

Friend Says Wife's Health Led
to European Trip.

No authoritative statement has yet been
made regarding the health Of William
Rockefeller. about which many rumors are
current. When Mr. Rockefeller sailed on
the Mauretania it was said he was going
abroad for his health, and It was also re-
ported that he was going simply with the
object Of accompanying his wife, who II
was said was planning to visit one of the
German baths. The Mauritania arrived
at Liverpool on Monday, and cable dis
patches from London day or two ago
reported Mr. Rockefeller as having been
i'll on the voyage, but apparently better on
landing. London dispatch yesterday
said Mr. Rockefeller accompanied by mis-
wife. would sail for home to-day on the
Campania, after a stay abroad Of only
four or five days.
The following statement by member OF
Mr.. Rockefeler's family was issued yes
terday:
The day before sailing for Europe on the
Mauretania William Rockefeller attended
the regular Tuesday meeting OF the eXecu-
tive committee Of the Union Paclhc hall-
road Company. lie took up other routine
business, and did not apear 10 his business
associates to be suffering. IL is well known
that Mr.. Rockefeller occasionally mas tolS'
trouble. on the day of his father DEPART
ure for Europe William c. Rockefeller
said 10 an inquirer that the "trip had no
special significance, and that. he expected
his father would return in about six weeks.
one OF Mr. Rockefeller's business assoc
ciates said yesterday afternoon it was his
understanding that it was because Of Mrs.
Rockefellers health, and not his own. that
the hnancier had gone abroad. Mr.. Rookie
Teller was getting on in years, he con-
tinued-he was seventy I'm May-but seemed
10 be as well and as active as could be ex-
pected in a man OF his age. Mr.. Rookie
feIler's sons. William q. and Percy \.
Rockefeller. this man added. had Just
started on a ten days hunting trla IN the
Adirondacks. and that seemed 10 nm To
indicate that there was no apprehension
