MISSED A GOOD CHANCE.

President Taft seems to be hopeless
" oblivious of the uses of spectacular
ism in politics. He clearly spurned at
the peace dinner Saturday night what
his predecessor would have seized as
golden opportunity to impress the gal
leries.
Col. Roosevelt. on the eve Of that
occasion, had denounced the presi-
dents arbitration program as calcu-
lated to put this nation in an attitude
Of "unctuous and odious hypocrisy"
He left a good opening for first
class fighting politician, and the presi-
dents advantage of moral position
was plain A staggering counter to
Col Roosevelts lead seemed in order.
But instead Of paying the assailant
in his own coin and with interest, the
president in his calm way contc1tet
himself with argument showing tina
the alleged inconsistency of our fail-
ure to arbitrate with Russia does no
exist. and that such matters OF ma.
tional policy as the Monroe doctrin,
are not justiciable and not within tn,
purview Of the arbitration treaties.

national lawyer. But he is a poor spec

1t Is becoming more evident every
day that Republicans generally are
turning to Roosevelt as the only man
who can save the party from defeat in
this years campaign. Governor Os-
horns desertion from the Taft camr

The highly interesting fact that the
Osceola is now treating its rock output
at a cost of S1.15 per ton is of decided
importance in it's bearing upon the
future of the Lake Superior district,

The Osceola has always been cap
ably managed, and while those for

Since the abrogation of the Russian

and exports. Hides and wool are the
principal articles imported from Rus

DIR. SUN A CHRISTIAN.

DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who has been
elected by the delegates of the eighteen
provinces of China proper as first
president of the Chinese republic, Is
a Christian and thus for the first time
the biggest Oriental domain is ruled by
a follower OF the Nazarene.
He owes much of his education TO
American colleges and Is a fluent and
eloquent English speaker. Past the
middle Of life. he has been for years
a recognized force in Chinese affairs.
His radical reform tendencies resulted
I'm his exile along with Kang Yu Wei
some years after the Boxer troubles.
He typifes probably as well as any
other one individual the Occidental
Influences which have been at work in
the mysterious empire and he VIII
bring to the country with his position
of authority even more Of ii than it
has felt heretofore. His life in the
United states and England has devel-
oped in him "a love of the Republican
representative form of government
and 1t was his open espousal of these
principles that made him so hated by
the Manchus.
When the revolution reached a crisis
| in his native land he was in England,
and when it became evident that he
would be needed again in China he
left London by route which was Sc
oret except to a few very close friends.
During all Of his sojourns in foreign
lands he was spied upon by his own
Government, but when he disappeared
from London a few weeks ago his
friends said that he had eluded the
spies and would be able to reach his
lown country safely by means of a
disguise as a japanese, at which he
was so adept that he could deceive
even those who knew him well.
DIR. Sun is a native of Canton. He
was educated at Honolulu, where his
father was in business, and later
lstudied medicine at Canton. after
wards engaging in practice there, He
has been connected with the revolu-
tonary movement for a considerable
time and took a most radical poin
of view. He was one Of the promoters
lof a plot to seize the scitysof CantaI
in 1895. The plans of the conspiratorI
were discovered and several of then
were put to death. but DIR. Sun va
Sen escaped and reached the British
colony of Hong Kong, where he becam
a British subject. He was heard o
next In England and the United States
where he delivered a series of lecture
i'm order to convert the Chinese stu
dents to his revolutionary principles
While he was on a lecture tour il
