THE CoREAN CONVICTIONS.

The conviction and sentencing Of
more than hundred Coreans, includ-
ing former Cabinet minister and
other prominent men, for conspiracy
TO murder Count Terauchi, the Gov.
ernor General Of the country, would In
any case have been striking incident
because of the numbers involved. II
commands special interest In America,
however, because of the attempt to
implicate In the conspiracy number
Of Christian missionaries from this
country, including even bishop Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
This attempt was made not by the
prosecution but by the defendants
themselves, or by some Of them, who
prOfessed 10 be Christian converts.
They at first made what purported TO
be confessions, in which they impli-
Gated the missionaries rs instigators
OF the conspiracy; but later they with
drew these confessions and declared
that they had made them under tort
urea charge which was denied by
the authorities. 1t may be added that
no proof whatever of the missionaries
completely was adduced, and no belief
was given to the accusations against
them.
The explanation of the incident prob
ably Is that the prisoners made false
confessions In the hope Of mitigating
their punishment. They perhaps
thought that the japanese government
was hostile to Christian missionaries
and that Its wrath would be directed
toward them rather than toward the
erring converts. Also 1t is not unlikely
that these false witnesses were not
true converts at all, but belonged to
the class. which. unhappily. is not IN
known. Of those who profess to accept
Christianity for purely selfish and
sordid reasons, and who are always
ready TO recant when II serves their
purpose to do so.
They probably made these charges
against the missionaries with the more
assurance because of the well-known
hostility Of some Of the latter to the

NEW JERSEYS PRIMARY VOTE

Wilson.
{ OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The twenty-four-point headlines In
the newspapers hereabouts, not excepting
some which seem to favor the election OF
Mr.. Taft, scream out the statement that
Governor Wilson won famous victory
in the New Jersey primaries last Tues
day. The text OF the articles beneath the
headlines has done little TO confirm the
scare announcement at the top. In the
main all that the reader who wants facts
as the basis OF forming his own conclu-
slons has been able 70 get has been

cent OF the men who voted for Wilson
for Governor in 1910 cared q copper as to
whether he downed James Smith. jr., In

that a comparison like the following In

ways than one.

GIVE HIM AN INVITATION.

The warships which will appear In
line in this harbor In the great review
OF October 10 are already gathering
There will be 1877 in all, constituting
she largest American feet ever assem-
ghIed. President Taft will be on hand
as commander in chief Of the country's
naval forces to inspect the long lines
lid and down the Hudson. His interest
IN the development of a powerful navy
as the most efficient agency Of national
defence has been manifested on all oc-
casions. He has always acted upon
fhe theory that the United States is
hound as a matter OF policy to main
tain a first class navy. Now that the
Panama Canal is about TO be opened
and responsibility for It's protection
must be assumed, he Is more than ever
convinced that our status as naval
power must remain unimpaired and
that Il would be folly TO give up the
second rank among the worlds navies,
which we have been holding. to sink
peglieently into fifth rank, as has been
decreed by the Democratic caucus In
the House of Representatives.
We hope the Democratic candidate
for President will attend the naval re-
view. II may be that seeing the moving
spectacle of naval strength and disci-
rline which will be offered here VIII
inspire him 10 declare whether or not
NE. too, believes IN the navy as the
mainstay Of national protection. He
has carefully RETAINED from saying
whether he approved or disapproyed
the starvation policy Of the Democratic
House caucus. On other issues Of the
day. like the tariff and the trusts he
has talked now on one side and now
on the other: but on the question or
continuing the growth Of the navy or
checking It be has been persistenuy
md mysteriously silent.

THE PROGRESSIVE POCKET.

The most expensive pursuit on earth
is being o Progressive. Look Mt "Bill
Finn, Of Pittsburgh. Finn is OF the
Murphy type, with the difference that
be is Progressive. See the effect.
Murphy works for his pocket all the
time. Films pocket works all the
time, and overtime. BILL has been
Progressive since last spring, exact
date of his conversion being unknown
expense, S144.30S 20! But his expe-
rience is not the only example of how
costly progress Is. There IS the case
Of Mr.. Crane, progressive before
"Bilr' Finn, but not a Progressive
since. In the spring his desire for
better things was costing him S4,Ooo
a week. His total was $4,000. about
the same as Films, but he divided 1t
between two parties, trying to secure
the nomination Of candidate after
his own heart by both Of them.
Beside these two liberal spenders
Mr.. George w. Perkins looks like an
Indifferent Progressive. with his official
expenditure of only 1880. We say
official" because "Blll' Films "ofii-
cial" account and his private account
differed by $4,000, the former being
more modest. Perhaps 1t is modesty
which keeps the official figure of Mr.
Perkins's gifts so small.
Let them give. for there will never
be another opportunity like this to
give. A law will be passed to save
the Films, Cranes and Perkinses from
themselves. A thrifty nation cannot
stand by indlfferently and see progress
so expensive.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

However resdy the modern farmer may
be TO admit the value OF agricultural
schools and laboratory work In the de-
velopment Of the science OF raising garden
truck. there ia little possibility that the
filler OF the soil can ever supplant the
man in the experiment station. A visitor
at the Botanical Gardens In Bronx Park
a few days ago was being shown about
the grounds by ono of the officials. Not
far away a man with n pair OF horses
was vigorously engaged In ploughinY on
a hillside, and had already turned up an
acre or 30 OF ground. Walking behind
him was q tall, lean gentleman. attired
In a Prince Albert" and stia hat. VINO
ever and anon stopped down. picked
something off the ground and deposited
II IN a large tin can which he carried
under one arm. What are you going
TO plant over there?' the official was
asked. "Oh, we're not planting any
thing" he replied. you see that man
up there, Professor Blank. Is making
SPECIAL study Of grubs and earthworms.
so we are having man plough up that
patch 70 uncover the worms."

America Is Witnessing at this time something
like a renaissance OF the art OF the cartoonist.
In New York, St. Louis and other centres the
newspaper cartoon is outgrowing old and
stereotyped methods, 10 chansin, It's technique
ana is taking on a new and vivid artistic
meaning. Mr.. Boardman Robinson, OF The

field may help to explain his freshness, his
freedom and his individuality. ''Of ell news

Reedy OF THE 81. Louis Mirror" observes
"Boardman Robinson has the finest, treest,

editor OF Cartoons (Chicago) says: His
ideas are refreshing the spirit of his work
being attack on sham and on things, animate
or not--cus,oms habits, individuals, corpora

Mr.. Robinson is no unworthy successor OF
the French masters Of caricature, Gavsrni and
Daumer. and his work shows kinship with
that OF Forain the brilliant artist OF the
Figaro" In his eyes the cartoon Is pri-
marily criticism OF life. II should b., he
feels. In the nature OF a challenge to the be-
holder should awaken q sense OF wonder:

he says. ''often grow out OF sense OF in
