SOCIALIST LEADERS
OF COMMANDING TYPE
Belgian Partisans. in Fore
front of Public Attention Be-
cause of Political Strike.
BRUSSELS. April 20, 1913.


Two men have come to the forefront
of public attention as a result OF the re
cent political strike n Belgium. each add
ing to his popu arity and his reco. as
successful socialist leader. They are
men of widely divergent characte.i cs.

ant intellectual. and Edua.d 4 .seeie.

particular field contribute mater.a Is 10

past month toward manhood suffrage in
Belgium.
Eandervelde. who has led the socia lists
of this country 5 nee the death 81 Jean
Volders. IS approaching his fit eth birth
day. In his youth he studied 4aN. but
his interest in social questions preve.ted
his piacticing. He IS possessed OF high
literary gifts and a vide knowledge and 10
an able statesman. His reasons for be-
longing TO the socialist party are rather
those OF the head than the heart His
convictions are purely int. lectual. He Is.
and always has been, a determ ned OPP
ponent of the recent general strike, which
he believes will only delay the triumph
of the cause of soc alism. But the ma
jority of the party having pronounced In
favor OF the strike. Nanderye de bowed
to the decision and co-operated in the
common work TO the best OF his ability.
OF a Different Type.
The other socialist leader. Eduard An
seele. founder OF the '.Nooruit' of Client.
presents a striking contrast in every
way to Eandervelde. OF open and en-
gaging countenance. possessed of warm
and vibrant voice. Anseele charms all
who come in contact with him. He is an
excellent speaker. using wealth OF
imagery TO convey his meaning which
he further enforces with vigorous ges-
lures Possessing no personal means, he
lives on his deputy's salary of $500 a
year and an income of A16 which he
gets as "A director OF the .Nooruit." He
contributes nearly nalf OF this small
revenue TO the socialist cause.
Anseele is workingman and the son
OF workingman- lie has known the
worlds rough hand his father was A
shoemaker, but. wanting earnestly to give
his son some educat on. he labored with
extreme se,f-renunc.ation TO this end.
Young Anseele was employed In turn by
an architect. scotsman and cloth
merchant One evening he entered q
socialist meeting and was so profoundly
impressed by the picture Of the misery
OF the people. drawn by the speaker. that
he at once enrolled himself III the ranks
of the international"
'vooruit" the Rallying Cry.
Eventually the young man returned to
Client. where he became q printer. In
association with others he organized a
cooperative bakery. This was the be-
ginning of the "Vooruit.'' now famous
throughout Belgium Vooruit is Flem-
ish word meaning forward and il has
become the rallying cry Of the socialists
of Client. The organization. which at
the end of it's first year counted only
500 members. now has over 10000. and il
owns warehouses and other buildings
valued at nearly 100000.

BRYAN IN CALIFORNIA ON THE
ANTI-ALIEN LAND-O LOWING BILL
Sacramento, CAL, April 26.-Secre-
tary of State William J. Bryan ar
rived here this morning to take up
with the legislature the matter of
pending anti-alien land-owning legis-
lation.
Gov. Johnson and members of the
legislature met the secretary. Many
Japanese were in the crowd which
crowded the railroad station.
Bryan went at once to the home of
Gov. Johnson, where he will be a
guest during his stay. Several Dem
ocratic and Progressive leaders of the
legislature later went into consulta-
ton with the governor and secretary
1t is not certain that Bryan will
make speech in the assembly. The
views of the president on the alien
legislation may be transmitted to
legislators in conference, and thus
made known to the assembly.
1t is not believed here that the visit
of the secretary will in any great de-
gree affect legislation. The COVER

assembly refuses to pass the anti
alien bill the same law. will be en-

JAPANESE DENOUNCE
THE UNITED STATES
Mob of $1,000 Hold Big
Meeting in Toxic.
Crowd Marches Upon Foreign Office
and Demands That Aggressive
Action Be Taken on Account
of Alleged Insults.

Toxic, Japan.-A mob of $4,000
persons seized Habiya park, cheered
while it's leaders denounced the United
States and then marched upon the
foreign office, where it demanded that
aggressive action be taken at once
against America because of its attl-
tude toward Japanese citizens. The
outbreak was the most serious anti
American demonstration ever wit
messed in Japan.
The meeting had been called as a
public protest against the slaughter of
Japanese by Chinese at Marking, but
the anger shows against the Chinese
was no greater than that displayed
against Americans. The leaders made
the United States their chief target
and all their utterances We're cheered.
The police, fearing the mob would be-
come riotous If any attempt were
made to curb the speakers, allowed
the harangues to continue unchecked.
After the orators had spoken for
some time, one of them cried: Let us
march to the foreign office and show
our government that Japanese citizens
are not to be insulted by the United
States and murdered by the Chinese"
The mob eagerly assented, and soon
arrived at their destination. There
admission was demanded by the lead
ers but refused. Extra police and SOL
diers were called to the building, but
Baron Maxine, fearing the additional
guards would stir the throng to the
fury shown at the time the Russo
Japanese peace treaty was signed, Oh
dered them to return to their stations.
When the guards were withdrawn
the mob leaders took up positions on
the steps of the foreign Office and re-
sumed their denunciation of the
United States. The anti-alien land
law of California was denounced as a
crime against the people of Japan and
the foreign minister was branded q
coward because he had failed to press
this country's demands for its revo
cation on the American state depart
ment.
For five hours the harangues against
the United States and China con
tinued.

WORST GALE IN A DECADE
Storm Which Sweeps Virginia and
North Carolina Causes Loss of
Life and Heavy Damage.

Washington, d. C.-Reports from
Virginia and North Carolina describe
the gale which swept those states as
the worst in a decade. Dispatches re-
ceived from Raleigh, N c., estimate
the damage at $5,O00,OOO. 1t is not
believed that the loss of life at Ocra-
coke island has been great. Bulletins
from adjacent life saving stations
showed the early rumors to have been
groundless.
A dispatch from Norfolk stated
that all telegraph wires were down
and that it would be days before an
estimate of the change done by the
storm could be made. Both dispatches
stated that there was loss of life. but
accurate accounts were lacking at the
weather bureau.

REPUBLICAN WINS IN MAINE
John A. Peters is Elected to Fill the
Vacancy Caused by Death of Rep
resentative Goodwin.

Portland Me.-Returns from all
save a few towns in the Third
congression district indicate the
election of John A. Peters, Repub-
lican, for congress to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Representative
Forrest Goodwin, Republican. The
returns show conclusively that the
Democratic party has not gained in
strength since the election of 1912
and that the Progressives are return
ing to the Republican party If Maine
may be accepted as sample of the
feeling throughout the country.
The vote of 160 of the 1874 districts
gives Peters, Republican, 1873; Pat
tangall, Democrat, 1874; Lawrence,
Progressive, 6,O37. In 1912 the vote
for president in the same districts
was; Taft, Republican, 6,611; Wilson,
Democrat, 13,131; Roosevelt. Progress

Taken altogether, the banana tax is
fine illustration of stupidity in tax
laying OF course the source of the
blunder is easy enough to understand.
Having resolved to throw away about
$50000,000 of revenue now paid by
foreign sugar growers and the REIN
ers' trust the Democrats were hunt
ing for something on which to make
good the loss.
Some Democratic tariff-making gen
ius thought of the banana, and re-
membered that forty years ago, when
he was a boy, bananas were regard
ed as luxury" So tax was slap
ped on bananas.
Except possibly the income tax on
life insurance funds and through
them on widows and orphans, there is
not in the Woodrow Wilson bill a
clearer illustration of Democratic in
competence in legislation than the
banana tax.

HAVE WRONG POLICY
Proposed Democratic Tariff viii
Not Help Consumer.
Provision for "Free Raw Sugar" ls
Based on Insecure Foundation
Foreign Growers Alone Will
Be Benefited.

The senate has reached the key
stone of the arch erected by the max
ers of the Woodrow Wilson tariff bill,
and the feature for which Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee has publicly unloaded re-
sponsibility upon the White House.
That is the provision for free raw
sugar" in three years. On this provi-
sion the administration has virtually
staked its prestige in tariff.making.
The theory of free raw sugar is
that to take off the tax" on imported
sugar will make sugar cheaper to the
consumer" That theory might be ten
able and true If the worlds production
of sugar had ever yet reached the vol
ume that would supply the demand for
sugar at prices that all could afford to
pay.
1t is neither tenable nor true be-
cause that point has never yet been
reached. The peoples Of the earth
have always wished, and wish today,
to eat more sugar than they can afford
to buy.
encourage the production Of sugar In
this country, as it has been encour7
aged by Republican tariffs. With the
growth of the domestic industry sugar
has declined in price AS methods are
improved it will go still lower--unless
the domestic industry is crippled by
taking away the protection it still
in 81 oh Ia lower
standards of living in other sugar
growing countries
AS the facts stand, the beneaciaries
of free raw sugar will be foreign
growers and the refrers of the Allan
tic and Pacific cousls, who will absorb
the present import duty between them.
The consumer" will benefit little, If
at all, and certainly not permanently.
For with the crippling of the domestic
industry sugar supplies will be re-
duced.
The two Louisiana senators have
left their party on proposal which
threatens the leading industry of their
state with destruction. The Repub'
licans are fighting hard to defeat It,
realizing that if they can knock this
keystone out OF the Woodrow Wilson
tariff arch they will have scored a
great point.
The next few days will determine
whether President Wilson's tariff pro
gram will get through congress as II
came from the White House or viii

doctrinaire and more practical lines.

SAYS PASS CURRENCY
BILL At THIS SESSION
Presidents Edict Is Given
to Lawmakers.
Vote on Tariff Measure Is Expected
to be Reached Next Week and I'M
mediateIy After Currency
viii be Theme.

Washington, D. G.-Currency legis-
lation must be nut through at this
extra session OF congress. That is
livered in response to inquiries at
the White House.
President Wilson has mapped out
the Democratic program and it is to
be carried out to the letter. He let
this fact be impressed upon those
who asked if he had changed his views
as to the necessity for currency legis-
lation at this tine. He evidently pro-
poses to be the leader of his party
in fact as we'll as in name.
The house committee is proceed
Ing with the framing of bill without
any hearings whatever. The senate
committee is holding hearings at
which leading bankers of the country
are invited to present their views.
Members of the American Bankers
association insist that the admins
tration bill as now drawn is very de-
fective and will work hardships upon
the banking business. Senators and
members of both parties admit they
know too little OF the subject TO war
rant them in enacting new law
without further light.
The whole congress is in a state of
uncertainty about the subject and
there is widespread fear that some
vital mistake will be made.
Senators and representatives are
tired out with the extended tariff ses.
sion and the heat is so oppressive that
they have no heart for taking up a
great economic question like currency
at this time. They wish an oppor
tuntiy to study it and to get the views
of experts. Furthermore a great many
of them want to get home and look
after their political fences which have
been neglected during the summer.
But the edict of the administration
has gone forth, and currency must
| be considered at this extra session
A vote on the tariff bill is expected
to be reached next week and imme
diately currency will be the theme
Predictions are now being made tha
