Zig voice of his party in its s%trongholds, have had their
expected and inevitable result. The Republican organization
is cleft in twain and it's better part has committed to Tbeo.
dore Roosevelt the standard of revolt. Roosevelts followers
second his determination not to abide by the decision of a ma
jority created by fraudulent delegates. A new party is born.
The cohorts of the reactionary Toryism and special privilege
may now, with dismal unanimity, fall in behind their chief or
some hastiychosen substitute and march to defeat. For the
magnificent opportunity thus offered to it the Democratic party
may thank William Howard Taft and his fatnous councillors
Is IT possible that this opportunity will be thrown away at
Baltimore next week by nominating a candidate who cannot
win even against a divided Republican party?

JAPAN REDUCES LIVING COST.

VAL HEN the Japanese government found that the high price
wv of rice, the chief Oriental food staple, was causing
general distress it reduced the cost Of living by making
a substantial cut in the rice tariff. Japan is happy in being
able to apply this simple remedy by a summary executive act.
With us it requires the slow process of debates and votes in
two legislative branches, and then presidential approval. And
when Congress did manage to agree upon a measure to cheaper
the necessaries of life to the people President Taft vetoed it.

Eavors strong Navy.

Favors Strong Navy. Z
To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
The question of maintaining the
present status of our navy is the
most vital issue now before congress,
and yet. strange to relate, both con-
gressmen and senator's seem TO be
asleep on the matter.
A very strong sentiment prevails
throughout the land In favor of keep
ing our naval forces up to the high
est point of efficiency at all times.
Such a sentiment nay not take
such solid form as to defeat the con-
gressmen who oppose 1t at the cleo
lion in November. but a tremendous
wave of resentment would roll over
this republic If we should ever find
ourselves out in open conflict, and
the men who now oppose the two
battleships-a-year plan or whose in
terest is not keen on the proposition
will have to bear the dtsgraee of a
possible national calamity.
