Outside Point of VIEW

During the war between Russia and
Japan, it was q matter Of common re-
mark, that the Japanese literally had
no fear of death Love Of country was
SO strong. death was invited II father
land gained. And they belonged to the
yellow race too. which seemed to be 4
sort OF reflection on the civilized white
man. But the other day the educated.
refined, civilized not to say effete speci-
men Of humanity not as individual, but
collectively showed the world on board
the Titanic, the same reckless disre-
gard of life, OF self life. This time the
white man recognized the weaker sex,
this time the white man remembered
motherhood, wives and children and
forget self.
Ard stranger as it may seem in this
civilized country. large majority
looked with suspicion on one man that
saved himself by getting into boat
loaded with women and children. In
this civilized christian country thou
sands said almost in words such man
should not be alive. That he was worth
millions and was an afficial of the
steamship company only seemed 10 add
TO the enorrlity of his action. Under
the seats in the same boat that car
ried him away in safety were some
Chinese coolies. Nobody seems to care
that they saved their lives. Somehow
we wanted all OF the white men on
board the Titanic to act as Captain
Smith. the EnglishU7an. as Astor and
Archie Butts, the Americans DID.
And Archie Butts. the society man.

a .'cissy," the man that attended to the
functions Of the White House. the one
that settled the important questions
OF whether the flowers at state GIN

A day or twe ago, the writer was
reading a New York SInlaE Sun puo-

it was a big advertisement announcing

The question likely to be forced up
on the sixteen Taft delegates from
Iowa is what they will do in case the
president is not TO be renoninated.

early in announcing its policy:

AFTER MASSACHUSETTS, wAA17

Early reports differ as TO the resul'
in Massachusetts. Progressive reports
boldly claim the state for Roosevelt .!
10000 or thereabout and place the dis
tricts twenty for Roosevelt to eight 10:
Taft. Standlat reports refuse TO con
cur that the state u lost TO Taft ano
feature the Boston vote where Tar
won by q scanty lead Of little mors
than zoo votes. Both reports announce
the defeat OF Crane.
What will the president do? a
scratch victory would be almost equiv
aIent to a defeat 50 Tar as establishing
his availability is concerned. If he has
won by the skin OF his teeth it would
still have been much lacking Of e VIC
tory which should carry prestige o,
which MI. Taft Is IN dire need
If he has been defeated as appears
possible. his Reputation by the east as
well az the middle west and northwest
seems fairly complete 1t is prooaols
that he will have no greater Tepresen-
tation from Ohio than Cum-nins has
from Iowa. CALIFORNIA; prim aries late
in May are concededly certain TO oe
opposed to his candidacy. Thus the en-
tire stretch OF actual republican terri
tory viii have registered strenuous oo-
section to a second term fo- Taft.
It is incredible that those who pro-
fe.s to put the success OF the party
above other consideration shall contin-
ue to urge the nomination Of a cand'-
date whose defeat is thus threatened
by republican primaries wherein the
rank and file Of voters express the SEN
timents they are likely to express in
elections. What Will the assumed
priests Of the temple Of party republi-
canism do?
The conclusion to be drawn from the
vote in such states as have held pres
idential primaries is inevitable. Taft
is an Impossible candidate.
