The Reform Club and Roosevelt.

The tariff committee Of the New York
Reform Club has pronounced against MT
Roosevelt. and warns the public against
his promises of tariff reform. 1t quotes
his record. and quotes II accurately. 1t
shows that although he served seven
years as President he never lifted a
finger in behalf of lower tariff taxation.
The high protectionists-the standpatters,
as they are now called-controlled him
absolutely. and several times persuaded
him to change a purpose he was consid-
ering for bringing the question before
Congress.
Every word of this is true. The men
who influenced Mr.. Roosevelt to his
course of inaction were the same mer
who subsequently, helped frame and pass
the Payne bill Mr.. Aldrich was the
leader. Then. and afterward. chairman
Of the Senate finance committee. and a
recognized authority on the tariff, he
was a greater power at the White House
while Mr.. Roosevelt occupied the mansion
than he ever was in Mr.. Taft's day. Mr..
Roosevelt in the tariff matter leaned upon
and was guided by the then senator from
Rhode Island.
And yet Mr.. Roosevelt upon taking of
lice had pledged himself unqualifiedly to
the Mckinley policies, and a revision of
the Dingley law was the principal policy
Mr.. Mckinley had bequeathed to his sue
cessor.
The tariff is a side issue with Mr.
Roosevelt at present. He has treated
the subject on the stump vaguely His
leading thought is about big business and
the Sherman antitrust law. And nat
urally men representing certain branches
Of big business are financing his cam
paign: and they are practical men," II
they succeed in electing him they will
demand first consideration for what they
are most interested in. and will have
their way.
Moreover. Mr.. Roosevelt virtually pro-
poses postponement of tariff revision in
his demand for an investigation OF cost
prices and productions by commission
of experts. That will take time. as has
just been shown by the operations of the
tariff board created by Congress upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Taft
Neither the protected industries nor the
men demanding lower tariff are i'm
mediatey behind the Roosevelt move
ment- But some men close to big trusts
are. 1t is from them the coin is issuing
which is making the Roosevelt mare go.
They are expecting action on their money,
ana are encouraged in the expectation by
the views Mr.. Roosevelt entertains as To
the necessity i'm the business world Of the
great combinations that have recently
come into being
The tariff is not Mr. Roosevelt's long
suit. He has little knowledge of the sub.
jet. and has shown fear OF it.

Spitework Legislation.

No convincing reason is submitted for
the general staff law amendment tackled
on to the army appropriation bill. and
agreed to by the Senate, the effect OF
which will be, and the object of which is.
to make Gen. Leonard Wood ineligible as
chief of staff after March ). 1918. Sena-
tor Root spoke the sentiments of nearly
all who have followed the Hay amend
ments and the Ainsworth case when he
said in opposition to the bill that 'This
provision could not better accomplish its
purpose IL 1t read that after the 9th OF
March no man whose initials are l.. w.
shall be chief of staff"
Gen. Wood has risen rapidly. The rate
of his up-gong at first stirred a number
of officers Of greater preliminary military
training and longer service with troops
into criticism. This has very nearly died
away in view of the fact that Gen. Wood
has consistently demonstrated his ability,
merit and fitness for his office.
Another provision of the army bill
would disrupt the Panama canal force by
compelling the assignment to other duty
of a large number Of the valuable officers
now operating with Col. George w.
Goethals. These officers, familiar with
the stupendous work, ought not to be
withdrawn from it at this time.
The army appropriation bill, with its
obnoxious and unreasonable provisions
has not yet become law, and ought not
to- The provisions have been agreed to
in conference and the conference report
has been agreed to by the Senate. But
the Senate may. it is suggested. reconsider
the vote by which it agreed to the con-
ference report. and the friends of the
army hope it will do this. A fight will
be made in the House against the adop-
ton of the conferees' report by that
branch of Congress, and it is hoped that
the bill may by the action Of either House
or Senate be returned to conference and
relieved of It's unfair personal provisions

MR.. THWING REPLIES TO PENN
CORRESPONDENT OF THE HERALD

Some time ago the Star republished
a Pekin dispatch to the New York
Herald, which poked fun at Rev. T..
w. Thwing for his anti-cigarette. pro.
public-park, anti.opium and revolu.
tiOnary activities, and attacked Bishop
Bashford of the Methodist church for
making mischief.
Mr. Thwing, as secretary of the In
ternational Reform Bureau, replies
to the Herald correspondent in the
Atlas Syndicate News, Shanghai, of
May 1, which also quotes the associ-
ate secretary of Methodist missions,
both replies being as follows:
Bishop Bashford's Friends Indignant.
When the Rev DR.. S. o. Benton, as
sOciate secretary of the Board of For
eign Missions of the American Meth
odist Episcopal church, read the Her
AIDS special from Pekin he took issue
with the statements concerning Bishop
James w. Bashford, Methodist bishop
for China. DR.. Benton said:
This representation of Bishop
Bashford is utterly incredible. He is
one of the most cautious men l know.
He has been particularly careful in
all his advices to the Chinese and to
the missionaries, instructing t. EN- not
to get mixed up in the political situa-
tio1 and to hold strictly to their reli-
gious work.He even has been criti-
cised by some of the missionaries be-
cause OF his extreme conservatism IN
this matter.
Within two or three weeks there
was a cable despatch in the Herald
attributing certain things to Bishop
Bashford. The Christian Advocate, the
official organ of our denomination,
wrote to Secretary Knox to ask if the
Bishop or any other of our mission
aries had written to the Washington
administration any opinions about the
Chinese political situation.
Secretary Knox replied most en-
phatically that neither Bishop Bash
ford nor any other missionary had
written to Washington on the subject.
Bishop Bashford has been in China
eight years. He has been right on the
ground during all the recent happen
ings in China, He has kept the home
Office in touch with what was going
on ~ cable and letters"
A Reply to the N. Y. Herald.
In letter from its Pekin cores
pondent to the N, Y. Herald, publish
ed March 10, several matters are
much misrepresented. The assertion
that some missionaries have been
sharply reprimanded by the RESPONSE
BILE authorities of their societies, for
being actively involved in the Chinese
political situation is quite untrue.

| It is also considered dangerous by
this correspondent. for Christian
worker to claim the hand At the
Almighty in the Chinese revolution"
The fact of some missionaries send
ing kilograms to Pekin is also greatly
misunderstood, in relation 20 the ques-
ton of peace or war, then hanging in
the balance. The message in ques-
ton was friendly one, sent to friends
in the interests of peace and to pre-
vent further bloodshed OF course it
was not known to the Pekin corres-
pondent of the N. Y. Herald at that
time, but it is fact, that the repre-
parties expressed wish that the tele-
gram might be sent. They both be-
lieved that it would help, in the in-l
tereats of peace, for some of these old
er missionaries in China to urge. in
this way, that for the good of
China the generous settlement pro

further bloodshed be avoided. It
was not unwarranted or uncalled |
for interference, and it would
seem not improper for those who come
to preach the gospel of peace" to
urge a peaceful settlement at any
time. The action taken has occasion
ed much friendly remark and appre-
citation from the Chinese newspapers,
and from many of the Chinese lead
ers. During all the time of the revo-
luton, inetead of looking at the mis-
sionaries askance, both sides have
turned to them for help. Another err
ror of this Pekin correspondent is in
his statement that "the revolution has
put the anti-opium crusade out of bust.

ing up the matter most earnestly and

down, and as soon as the country Is

opium, they can stop the sale of
prepared smoking opium, under the
new agreement. and, in some cities
are completely closing up these
opium shops It is sad fact
that the British government is doing
the most to hinder and discourage this
part of China's great reform. Other
errors might be mentioned, in this let
ter to the Herald, but enough has been
said to show how after the China |

reaching New York. I send you some
