spells conservatism. and Mr.. Martin ID a
Conservatives much SO now as at any
period of his public career.
The country wants an adequate navy
and the democratic party is pledged 70
one. But the party, which has been de-
nouncing the republicans for extrava-
gance-too much progressiveness on the
water-wants to keep it's pledge and Yet
save its face. So it puts Mr.. Iliimah
at the head of the Senate naval commit
tee. and labels him a conservative NaVai
appropriations from a committee preslo-
ed over by a conservative cannot express
extravaganza, though large. OF course
not.
The democratic party is pledged to
reduction in general supplies. The re-
cent Congress was a disappointment in
that particular. The present Congress
must keep the pledge. But the country
must not be skimped. and reductions viii
look better If made under the aee1s OF
progress Mr.. Fitzgerald Is caileu
progressive. and he will supervise the
business of retrenchment in the House.
Mr. Martin is now called progressive,
and will SUPERVISE it in the Senate. IL
both were called conservatives their Worh
might subject the democracy to the re-
proach of being a skinfiint.
Party maneuvers are often lnteres'ins'
but should never be puzzling to Ola poii'-
ica1 performers. Mr.. Tlllman' VINO Is
veteran, should wipe his glasses ana tahe
another look around. The naval COM
mittee will give him excellent opportunity
to serve both his party and the country
and Mr.. Martin will serve. In MS ne"
most to the satisfaction of all.

Relieving the Sufferers.

There will be no lack of funds for the
relief of the sufferers from the recent dis
asters in the western states and the Ohio
valley when the fact of necessity is made
known TO the public In all such emer-
gencies the popular response is imme-
diate and liberal and IL call for help
9 sent from any one of the stricken cities
or states il will he answered practically
and sufficiently. In this situation the
value OF the American Red Cross is dem
oEStTated. Ii has the organization TO
reach the scene OF the disaster quickly
ard 10 put 10 the fullest use the means
for the succor of the afflicted Its call To
the public for funds is a guarantee not
only of actual necessity. but of an eff
cient. honest administration o. such
means to relieve distress.
IL the Red Gross had the endowment
which II requires for the most effective
discharge OF its duty in emergencies ii
would now be able without the slightest
delay or question 10 apply its resources
10 the immediate needs OF Ohio. Indiana
and Nebraska. or to any other part of the
country that hoists the distress signal.
Possibly the widespread nature of this
disaster will quicken the response Of the
people 10 the call for such an endowment.
But meanwhile the urgent need is for
food and clothing and means OF tenn
porary shelter for the survivors OF these
catastrophes that have laid waste such
a wide area of country and paraly zed so
many communities.

Mr.. Tillman's Questions,

He showed the way. Some of his follow

leadership. But. though reluctantly, they
cramped after him, and made more
progress than they enjoyed or thought

Republicans and the Future.

Chairman HThes declares he has no
thought of calling AAs,rspublican national

respects the party's plight? 1t is out~nf

together. or go to pieces.
When the progressive republicans in

cations arc ready to act together again
in a presidential nominating convention
which shall be fairly representative of
republican strength in the respective
states and be dominated by and ex
press the views and wishes of the states
from which republican electoral votes
may nc derived. then the republican ma
tional committee must devise and put
into effect some plan by preliminary ma
tiona! convention or otherwise u,lsich shall
-change the present negotiable basis of
representation in the republican presi-
Dental nominating convention. 1t is time
for the progressive republicans to begin
J to get together; but it is not yet time
for the national committee to act.
Some of the insurging progressives
arc irreconcilable. These are more
than the name they have adopt
ed implies. They are bent. not so
much on reform. as on revolution. They
would if they could reshape the Constitu-
ticn entirely. They consider 1t an
archaic chart, wholly unequal to the de-
mands of these times If'the country ac-
copied them for guides it would find Itself
: headed straight for an undisguised So
cialism. :.
Others of the progressves are not SO
radical. In fact. they are not so widely
divided from their old associates. and
might become republicans again without
a wrench, and with scarcely an eff
fort They did not like the Payne tariff
revision. but they are still protectionists.
They are not enamored of the Philippines,
but are opposed to scuttle. And SO on.
The situation stands confessed But
preparing a remedy must wait. There is
nothing at present to go upon. In time
the democrats may provide-unintention-
ally. of course-some of the necessary in
gradients. Suppose they tumble vita the
tariff. Suppose they tumble with the
Panama canal. Suppose the trusts con-
tinue to flourish like green bay trees. and
the middlemen continue to reap rich har-
vests from the cost of living Suppose
the currency is not reformed to suit.
The democrats are in full control. and
will be held responsible. IL they sue
coed, in they stay. IL they fail. out they
go. What the country wants. IS good
government and prosperity; and it vii.

ton, not a state issue, and 1t becomes
the duty of all to uphold the national
government in it's course. 1t may be
taken for granted the administration
will act with prudence yet with firm
ness in upholding American rights
All actions thus far indicate as much,
There are some who have the view
the federal government has taken a
prof. japanese attitude and has gone
to extremes in striving to prevent the
passage of an alien land law in Cali
fornia They gain that impression
from the fact the administration has
been open and above board in all that
has been done in dealing with Cali
fornia AS matter of fact the Will
son administration has been more
friendly to the California feeling on
this subject than was either the Taft
or Roosevelt administrations. The
Roosevelt administration made the
treaty or agreement with Japan that
lis the basis of all the present trouble.
The Roosevelt administration also
used the big stick to force San Fran
| iscc to allow Japanese in white
schools Two years ago the Taft ad-
ministration squelched an attempt at
nti-Japanese legislation in California
by using dictatorial methods. Wilson
and Bryan have followed a different
course entirely. In what they have
done they have acted openly and they
have used no club. On the contrary
they have made it plain they were
merely advising California and would
not interfere with the right of tha
sovereign state to pass such laws as
it pleased provided they were in con
Iformity with the constitution and vio-
lated no treaty obligations.
In view of that attitude no one
need fear :iie national government
}, will be weak in asserting California;
) light when dealing with Japan. MOI
should friends of peace be alarmed
since the present secretary of state il
a champion of world peace. The stu
alton insures there will be no war un'
less there is a war coming. At pres
ent there seems no possibility OF
trouble but we will know more wher
Japans reply is received.
