China and Trusts

CE, H Greasy. Shanghai, China, in The Survey)
 The transmission in China from small business which family affair, the corporation, which the modern scale of production demands, has raised problems which the Chinese yet have solved. No Chinese corporation has yet been d complete success. The reason is made apparent by such action that recently taken in a ing of Chinese stockholders when in the face heavy losses due to the revolution ten per cent dividend voted. One of the vices of Chinese management is the neglect of upkeep. Everything in China appears to be going to rack or ruin, and plants allowed to deterOrate, while the funds that should be used in repairs paid out in dividends Such conditions will make it more possible than it in America for those who first the machinery of business to manipu- corporation securities and build fortunes be- the people awaken the danger and learn to protect themselves

The Proqressive Service

one thing made plain by Colonel Roosevelt his address before the first annual progressive conference of Pennsylvania last Thursday was that the defeat the party last fall did mean the prevention interruption it's usefulness Colonel Roosevelt said:
 our party is not in power but it is
 duty formulate public opinion so
 that it shall insist upon action along the
 lines indicate We recognize the urgent
 need of strengthening party by
 organization and the extension
 machinery; but recognize with equal
 emphasis that the machinery while mpera-
 tiveIy necessary, is of only if treated
 a practical means of securing applied
 realism.
 The progressive service was organized
 because party the first time
 the history of any great party in this
 country recognizes that party organization
 best be strengthened by continuous
 organized party work for definite aims and
 ideals.
 When other political parties have been defeated in national contests, after recovering from the numbmg effect of the blow. they have grown active again but they have confined their activities the strengthening of their party organizations, the repair of political fecnes and to the ob- struetion the vfctors in the execution of their governmental policies.
 The course of the progressive party is entirely novel While it is maintaining and strengthening its party organization in the nation and in every
  the victorious democratic party to give force to progressive principles
 It was for the party leaders that the pro- eressive party formed. Its organization not result of the ambition any It formed for the people in response demand by the people a reform the abuses which had grown up under both the old parties
 In the opinion of Colonel Roosevelt and the other leaders it will make difference the people through what agency the reform comes. If there had been need reform there would have been need of the progressive party; there would have been progressive movement
 Though as a result of the election last Novem- ber the progressive party is not charged with the responsibility power, relieved of the responsibility of doing what it could do; it was not relieved of it's responsibility to the people.
 leaders feel this and they msel- ftshy proffering their aid to the president and deeming such pledges of progressive legislation as they made at the Baltimore convention.
 Without the aid of the progressive party mem bers. these pledges could be redeemed. The reactionary democrats and reactionary republicans would be strong enough prevent it. From d purely partisan viewpoint the progressive party would be the beneficiary of a democratic failure redeem these pledges. There would then be insistent demand for progressive party administration four years hence. But, if the pro sressive leaders should take such view, while serving the organization, they would be unfathful to the people and their principles.
 Instead they have taken unsefsh course and declaring that principles more than party that the earliest service the people by whonsoever rendered, is the best.
