NEW PRIMARY
PROBLEM ARISES
Taft Candidates for Delegates
From California Did Not
Sign Pledges
POLITICAL GAME IS CHARGED
Roosevelt Supporters Declare it
Was to Save Scattering
Votes.

(By SpecIa1 Leased Wire TO New Mexican)
San Francisco, Calf, May 1O.-The
failure of the Taft delegates in Cali
fornia to sign the preference and del
egates' pledges promises an exceed
ingly complex situation. Roosevelt
supporters already have planned to
contest the rights of the delegates,
should they be elected. Both sides are
agreed that the Taft delegates had a
legal right to omit signing the pledges
irasnuch as both pledges, under the
law. are optional but not obligatory.
Roosevelt leaders declare the pur-
pose of the action was to save some
struggling votes for Taft in the event
that Roosevelt carried the majority of
the districts. Had they signed the
pledges, they would have been obliged
to vote for Roosevelt, as the delegates
pledge binds them ito support that
candidate who shall have received the
highest number of votes cast through
OF the state"
From Roosevelt headquarters comes
the intimation that any attempt to
seal delegates from scattering districts
will be contested on the ground that
the Taft men are not delegates from
any particular district, but delegates
a. large.
Knox Leaves California.
Los Angeles, Calf, May 10.-Secre'
| tary of State Knox, who practically
wound up the preference primary cam
p&ign for President Taft here last

nouncing that he intended going into

! He will go by way of Grand Canon
Arizona, and expects to arrive il

N0GPS DEATH A DUTY
NOT ACT OF SACRIFICE, AS The
WEST REGARDS IT.
Neither Was IL : Rebuke to Changed
Conditions, az Has Been implied
Deed VIII Long BE Remen1-
bered In Japan.

Life in Japan is much more a state of
mind than In the west where materia-
llsm governs and sentiment does not
go much beyond the first verse of a
song. So when Gen. Count Nogi chose
to escort his emperor to the shades,
it called forth mixed admiration. with
the practical thought that great men
are OF more value alive than dead II
would be untrue to say this view has
no standing In Japan. II has. But
beyond and behind 1t Is an idea of duty
that cannot be matched in the west.
1t is truly the scriptural precept that
no higher sacrifice can be made than
to lay down ones life. This has moth
ing to do with the heroism OF the
moment that acts quickly in moments
Of peril with US There Is less of that
In Japan. 1t Is instead the deliberate
ly calculated sacrifice, rare on this
side Of the earth, and in which the
Japanese finds the greatest solace for
his pride. Pride rules Japan. The
Samurai and their lords came down to
the people; the people did not go up
era just ended by Mutsuhito's death.
So pride leavened the mass and its
influence prevails as much as when
the crossword men forced manners by
menace upon the common herd.
To explain that General Nogi killed
himself as a rebuke to changed con-
ditions does not seem correct. Pride
impelled him. He would not linger
beyond the era to which he gave glory
and through which he gained fame.
Better to depart In splendor and in
great company than to linger only to
be pointed at!
To say member of the military
caste in Japan should kill himself as
rebuke to modern ways of wealth
getting Is rather absurd. The great
generals drew regular percentages up
on supplies sent to their command.
Gen. Prince Yamagata, first of the
elder statesmen. amassed fine for
tune from this source during the war
with Russia, and Gen. Prince Katsura
had his share There was no shame
or secrecy about their transactions.
1t was part of the system of rewards.
But when next summer and other
summers come and the feast of the
dead is celebrated along the shores
Of the beautiful Lake Biwa, near Kyoto
and its imperial tomb. the peasants
will remember the emperor and his
escort when at dusk the sails of the
little lantern-lit boats are set to bear
the souls of the dead back to their I'M
charted shore, and the people will
whisper to each other the story of the
general who would not let his COM
mander depart alone.-By the Author
Of Surface Japan
