Duration of the Chinese Republic

The Chinese are not like the Jap anese in their ideas of government, and never have been. They have never made primogeniture a feature of the line of descent, in their rulers. Rulers have often risen from the peo- pie, and they have ever been consid- cred tbe servants of the people. Their means of defense against unjust rulers was found in their trade guilds, which have long been kept well or ganized. All along the Chinese have enjoyed a high degree of self-govern- rnent through their IS provinces, and this was largely due to the guilds.
 The Chinese have really put old principles in their new constitution, and there is no reason for saying that they will soon return to the old form of government They are not a flighty, nervous people. They want peace and prosperity. They want to keep their vast population from star vation.
 The western world does not under stand the Chinese people. When they are all taught to read and write they will establish a great republic of the best possible sort, and it may last Throughout centuries. The Chinese are fine people, honest as the day is long, and a period of 10 years in that country may lead to important re- suits, including the power of self-de- fense.

MORGAN'S NEW RETREAT

over from the chiefs department at '. p Morgan & Co.'S offices MT. Morgan said also that 1t would be a fine spot from which to watch ships coming into port or leaving port and from which to look at the city generally.
 There the matter rested. Then one day al old gentleman who is one of MT. NTor- gan's cronies came into the office and told MT. Morgan that although he had long since got out of active Wall street business he still had some things to at tend to downtown and no fit place in which to attend them. Wouldn't Mr. Nor gan. for old times sake let him have desk room up there on the thirty-first floor of the new building? MT. Morgan said that of course he would, for he is so fond of his old friend that anything he has belongs to him also. But he wouldn't listen to desk room. He insisted that regular office be given. to his friend.
 Talk with his partners soon convinced MT. Morgan that they didn't share his enthusiasm about using the floor as a home or club They said they really pre- ferred to go home to sleep even if that did entail a journey. They are seldom downtown later than o'clock at night, and by that time they want to get just as far away from the financial district as they can.
 "Sc MT. Morgan rather reluctantly abandoned his old notion and ordered the architect to split the floor into large of- fee rooms, one of which his friend was to have and another for himself. When you were up on the floor you probably noticed that outside the two large offices there is nothing but a couple of toilet rooms and the sun parlor That idea Mr. Morgan clung to and everybody agreed with him. The offices will not be business like places. but homelike places, and the sun parlor. facing North river, will be de- lightful It will still be a good place to rest and have tea of an afternoon, cozy in winter and cool in summer.
 T doubt whether MT. Morgan will go up there more than once year, although it is possible that he may like the place So much that he will spend considerable time there. I am sure that his venerable friend will not get up there more than once in two years. The partners will en- joy the place of course. It will be com pletely fitted out in a week or two and it will be magnificently arranged place. almost totally uninhabitated. The mag nificent view from the sun parlor will undoubtedly attract men from their desks at 23 Wall street.
 "The history of that floor means to he an explanation of the sde of MT. Nor gans character which is perhaps more de- lightful than any other There is some thing exceedingly characteristic in MT. Morgan's desire for solitary retreat right in the center of his battlefield, re- treat to be gained not by distance but by height I am sure he will spend some delightful hours up there."

lures of life are taken from it there is not time enough left in which to read the books, to hear the music or visit the picture galleries or see the plays that none de1ire to miss.
 The biblical limit is soon exhausted, and then the average man recalls the books he should have read, the trips he should have taken, the efforts in this or that direction he should have attempted while strength and vigor remained to him. Few can recall a life of three score and ten years spent in an ideal way. Perhaps it would be better to say that no one can. The accidents or rather incidents of life forbid.

UNDERWOOD ON THE WAY

From the Florida Times Union. Underwood is now third man in the race. He started after all the other can didates had been long announced. He re- Ipaired at his post while all the other candidates were travelling over the coun- try soliciting votes, but the people are showing their appreciation of the Aabam- ian and he is today nearer than any other candidate to the White House
 Up to the present time 524 delegates to the convention have been selected or states having that number have expressed their preference. Of the 524 delegates se- leoted Champ Clark has 195 Woodrow Wilson 116, Underwood 66, Marshall 90, Burke 10 and Harmon 8, while 30 have neither been instructed nor expressed a preference.
 In one respect Underwood heads the list. He has a clean record of success. He has captured every delegation he has tried to capture. Of course he held his own state without fight, but he fought for Florida and Georgia and won both.
 Champ Clark did not even get his own state without a fight but he eas.- dis posed of Folk. In contested states be- sides Missouri he won in Colorado, Illi- nois. Kansas, Massachusetts and Nebras- ka, while he lost only in Oregon and Wis consn. He fought drawn battle in Ok lahoma and captured six delegates from Wisconsin. He won five victories and lost two fights, though that in Wiscon- sin was not a total defeat.
 Woodrau, Wilson mon in Orapop apd Wisconsin. though in the latter state not completely. He was permitted to take Pennsylvania without a struggle, and he won half of Oklahoma. He lost in Colo rado. Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Ne- braska, Florida and Georgia. There Is not the ghost of a show of his nomina- tion or even of his entering the conven- ton in the lead. It is not probable that he will be second man on the first ballot While those closest to MT. Underwood started out with no hope that he would enter the convention higher than fourth. 1t now seems probable that he will be second man, and with the good will of all the others, and what is better. with the good will of the American people.
 Florida had the honor of starting the IhOei Woou pooii. NO cdIuluate cdi ciaiin a boom until he has something more than his own state. Florida spoke first. and what she said had its effect on Geor- gia. In fact, if Florida had turned Un- derwood down it is possible that Georgia would have done so, too.
 But now Florida and Georgia are both speaking and the other southern states hear We expect to see the Underwood wave sweep over the south, and If it does the north will join in the vote that will nominate him and in the later vote that will make him President of the United States.

From the New York s,,n

l From the New York Sun,
 DISCOVERY of a change which had II 1 recently been made in the plans A~ for the thirty-first floor of the new Bankers Trust company building induced business associate of J. P. Morgan. who has leased the floor to tell the story of MT. Morgan's interest in the new struc- ture and his plans for using part of it for his own pleasure.
 The old floor plan called for three or four large bedrooms with bathrooms ad- joining, couple of living rooms, a large parlor, servants quarters, halls, etc., and sun parlor, all surrounded by wide garden walk fringed by high iron pipe fence to keep the walker from tumbling o; into Wall or Nassau streets, 31 stories below The new plan calls for offices and a sun parlor, and those have been con structed.
 MT. Morgan has always been fond of the Bankers Trust company" the Suns informant said. Tt is sort of pet insti- tuition of his. He really has more affec- tion for it and more pride about it than is the case with arfy of the other banking institutions in which he has an interest. He was very enthusiastic about the idea of building great skyscraper to house the company's offices and the original idea was in a sense his. While discussion of plans was going on he took lively in- terest in the project, an interest whose liveliness was entirely unusual.
 "One day MT. Morgan suggested to some of his partners that it might be a loyal and appropriate thing for the firm to en- gage one of the floors of the new build ing for its own use. He rather cherished the notion of having place of his own in the house of the organization whose success had given him so much pleasure. Consequently one of the members of the firm arranged with the Bankers Trust company to lease the thirty-first floor, choosing that floor because of it's height above noise, dust, heat and disturbance.
 "Finally it came time for the renters to let the builders know what they want ed on their floor. MT. Morgan talked about it considerably to his partners. One day he had an inspiration. He would build comfortable place to live up there on the thirty-first floor. An architect was consulted and finally it was agreed that the floor should be split into bedrooms, living rooms, baths. parlor, servants quarters and the sun parlor. Mir Morgan told his partners that he thought it would be handy to have quiet, dignified resi- dence just across the street from 2S Wall street, where they might put up for the night at any time when business kept them in the district unusually late. The floor would also be a sort of private cluo where the partners might take friends to tea any afternoon, and it would be a good place to read, play bridge, rest loaf and think There was no room left for a kitchen, but breakfaet could be brought

The Chicago Convention

The New York Press admits that ''though MT. Taft himself be utterly out of the question, as it is clear to all political judgment that he is, no candidate can be named in the con- vention to win the election without the Presidents consent and ap- proval.".
 This opinion was drawn out by the statement coming from Washington that Justice Hughes would not take the republican nomination except with the consent and at the request of President Taft. No one, adds the Press, said or thought that he would. President Taft will naturally desire as a second choice the nomination of some one who could be elected.
 Here is a reckoning that leaves the sage of Oyster Bay out, and when he is left out and his rival is permitted to name "a second choice that could be elected" there will first be a rumpus kicked up that has rarely been equalled in politics. MT. Taft, if he cannot win himself, will not be able to select his own successor. The campaign has not proceeded on that basis, and it has progressed altogeth- CT too far to admit of any such de- termination of the nomination. The nominee of Chicago is much more apt to be the Colonel or sotle one he Selects. MT. Taft stands too thor oughly repudiated by his party in the real primaries to name his own sue cessor.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Claims on the Party

Tn the matter of the presidency Con-
 gressman Underwood has more claims on
 the democratic party than any of the
 other candidates" said an old voter who
 was once active in politics.
 ''In 1896 William Jennings Bryan was nominated as the result of a dramatic episode in the national convention. He had little experience in public life; had served two terms in Congress, and that was about all. But in most cases in my day republican and democratic nominees alike have been men of valuable service.
 Early in the 7O's Samuel J. Tilden was making a great record as a democratic reformer, and when he was nominated i'll 1876 he was the most widely known man in public life, perhaps. Hayes was dark horse candidate, but in 1880 the repub- licans nominated Garfield, who had been long in Congress. Cleveland was strong of Buffalo, and as a great governor of New York.
 Everybody is familiar with the more recent candidates. Among the democratic aspirants for the presidency this year, Governor Harmon first became known to the public as a member of MT. CleVe- lands cabinet. In recent years his eX- cellent services as governor of Ohio has brought him prominently into view as presidential possibility. Champ Clark has been a national figure for many years Woodrow Wilson is a new man in poli- ties Many years ago he established high reputation as man of letters. He Is a fine writer of English, but his states is purely academic.
 Underwood combines more than any other man the theoretical and the prac- tical. He has not only served his party and ably for nearly 20 years, but he is the recognized exponent of the tariff-for-revenue-on doctrine. He is the only man in the party who could get the best of any republican orator in dis cussion of the tariff. Underwood certainly deserves to win the nomination. The party would make a great mistake were if to fail to put him at the head of the ticket. The democrats do not always act wisely but I believe this year they will do the right thing and nominate underwood''
