one of them, advocating their policies
and sharing in their triumphs. For near
~ eight years he was their national lead
er. He directed the record made by them
during that time. When In Mr.. Roose-
velt's opinion, and why. did they become
incapable and corrupt?
The answer is simple. Two years ago.
and for the reason that they refused to
restore him to his former place as ma
tional leader. Had they nominated him
at Chicago on the platform they pre-
pared for Mr. Taft, and had he been
elected, his warfare on Barnes, Penrose,
Crane. Gallinger and others would never
have been inaugurated, and his opinion
of the party never been changed.
Mr., Roosevelt would command more re-
spectful attention were he to state his
case differently If he were to say that
the two old parties are too slow for these
times that they are not grasping the
needs of the country; that with either OF
them in power not sufficient progress is
possible: that the bull moose party has
the right line of things, and will make
good if given a chance-that sort of state
ment supported by argument instead OF
denunciation would receive much sober
consideration for there is much unrest
But that is not Mr.. Roosevelt's way
Usually, he is long on assertion and short
on argument. and just now. with the
presidency in mind, he is in characteristic
mood and fettle.

The Roosevelt Way.

Mr. Roosevelt is always extreme His
own is the best ever The other fellows
is the worst ever.
The New Englanders are told by him
that the two old parties are incapa BILE
and corrupt They cannot be used as
agents for the public good. Both are out
of-date Both should he sent to the
scrapheap.
Only the bull moose party has the vi.
sion and the character necessary for this
day. Unless the people accept it and vote
it into power. their affairs will continue
TO be mismanaged and they themselves
suffer
To accept this as true is to despair.
There is no hope. The bull moosers are
too few to redeem situation so far
gone. Republicans and democrats to-
gether make up the great bulk of the
electorate: and If their leadership is rot
ten they are not competent to better it.
For they have chosen II deliberately and
Endorsed its performances.
There was a temptation for Mr.. Roose-
welt to be severe as to the democrats-a
temptation growing out OF habit. He had
inveighed against them SO long-had
warned the country against them SO re-
peatediy-it was the singing Of an old
and familiar song
But the case of the republicans was
different. Until two years ago he was

Loose District Committee Work.

The Caraway bills throwing open as

requirement that the civilian Commission

their appointment now appear to have
been in very truth personally conduct
ed through the District committee, as
The Star suggested the other day. Ac-
cording to minority reports filed on these
measures, both of them were given the
ostensib1e approval of the committee at
time when there was no quorum of the
committee in Washington, much less in
attendance at the meeting at which the
bills were considered.
These minority reports should be given
full attention by the House, to the end
of setting some standard of committee
work upon pending measures. When
favorable report is laid before the House
the assumption is that the bill approved
has the sanction 81 at least majority
favorable report can be written and
filed without having been considered by
a majority there is no value whatever in
committee reference
The District depends upon the House
and Senate committees on District affairs
for the details of legislation. These bod
les are in effect the common council and
aldermen of the capital municipality,
with the House and Senate themselves
sitting as chambers of appeal Haphaz-
ard work by committees. such as that

The Philippines.

Senior OueZon resident commissioner
from the Philippines, takes issue WIN
The Star as to the ACCESSIBILITY at this
time of congressional action respecting
the archipelago. He favors the Jones Dill
and hopes for it's enactment into law III
a communication with which he has IA
yored The star. he SAYS:
For two reasons at least. this declara-
ton of policy should now be made FIRST
because the Filipino people should De as
sured at this psychological nonent tna'

any circumstances. betray its trust: sec
und because the definite settlement oN

lion will facilitate the work OF dlplo-
macy in adjusting affairs in the Tar east
when the war is over.
Is it necessary for the United States to
assure the Filipino people that it will
not. under any circumstances. betraH It's
trust? Does Senior Quezon himself en-
terrain amy doubt on that point" The re-
nubIicans and the democrats alike nave
declared in favor of independence for
the islands when the natives are prepared
- take over their own affairs. Neither
side has fixed the date, and the demo-
Gratis offer no date in the pending meas
favored by the author of the measure
but was withdrawn, it was reported al
the instance of the administration
How could an indefinite expression o.
this kind now be considered and operate
as definite settlement of the question
for use in diplomatic matters in ad-
justins affairs in the far east when the
war is over? Does Senior Quezon be-
lieve or fear that unless we express our
selves now we shall be asked by the VIC
tors at the close of the war for our IN
tentions'' as to the Philippines? Does he
see the islands figuring in the calculations
of the new map-makers?
Senior Quezon speaks of the embarrass-
ments of the farmers in the Philippines
as the result of the war But they are
no greater than those of the farmers OF
the United States. Relief should be pro-
vided in both cases. and the terms ar
ranged BY Congress here in Washington
Why enlarge the powers of the Philip
pine government at this time of all times
Why charge inexperienced men with du-
ties which only the most experienced
should undertake, and may hope to ham
die successfully? A false step, though
not falsely intended, might be followed
by destructive consequences to the Fill
pinos as well as to ourselves.
This is not the time for discussion in
Congress of any phase of the Philippine
question The war has spread to the far
east. and may spread there. notwith-
standing Japan's assurances as to kiao-
chow. Japan may not be able to localize
the conflict: and if it gets out of hand
many interests may become involved. Let
Congress keep full control of all Ameri-
can interests in that and every other
quarter while the storm RACES.

The Belgians.


The fact that the world has wondered
at the lion-hearted fighting of the Bel
eians against the invaders proves. Tor
one thing. that the world has forgotten
its Caesar. Not only its Caesar. we
graph of its Caesar. All those whose
fortune or misfortune it was in youth youth
to read the famous commentaries ought
to be able without great difficulty to
recall the opening words set forth that
"all Gaul is divided into three parts:
one of which the Belgians inhabit.
And Caesar. who as one of the greatest
generals in history was a competent
Judge, adds that "the Belgians were
the bravest" Notwithstanding this de-
liberately written-down tribute to them
by the master of the ancient world,
the modern world seems to have fallen
somehow into the notion that while
Belgium was for generations abe battle
ground of Europe the Belgian people
had lost that courage which won them
the praise of their Roman conqueror
1000 years ago. Let our present age
have got it's habit of disparaging the
Belgians where it may, it is safe to say
there will be no more of it.

Austria's part in the campaign thus
far has been Of a negative character
as regards Germany's fortunes A DIS
patch purporting to give the Austrian
view of the situation states that
nasmuch as the operations against the
Serbs have been OF a merely punitive
nature the chief attention of the Aus
trian comma nders will now be given
to participation in the German cam
paign This may be interpreted to
mean that Austria has discovered that
Servia is too tough a nut to crack.
Certainly all reports whatever may be
their coloring or authenticity. Indicate
Austrian calamities at that end OF the
line. In all Likelihood the Austrian
campaign is now to be shifted to offer
resistance to the Russian advance,
which menaces Austria as well as Ger
many.
Japan's entry into the war game can
hardly have any material effect upon
the campaign in Europe. however dis
tressing to Germany it may be- The
Japanese declaration to the United
States has pledged the restriction OF
activities to the far eastern territory,
where Germany has only to lose kiao-
chow The practical effect Of this will
be to deprive Germany OF a home port
into which her warships can retire
for repairs or recoaling and to which
prizes can be taken.
This week may see the enlargement
of the war zone by the entry OF Italy
and Greece into the line of belligerents
against the Teutonic combina-
ton. Italy Is evidently under heavy
popular pressure to strike Austria.
while Greece according to reports, has
already sent troops to the aid of
Servia SPANS king has obtained sus-
pension Of the radical pressure in the
pa rliament which made for the declara-
ton of Spanish friendship for France
in this crisis. thus postponins the day
of possible alignment.
Profound mystery prevails regarding
the work of the British navy. All
signs point however. to the mainte-
nance of waiting game, with the
German fleet still within the Baltic
and the British holding control of
the North sea. Sinister suggestions are
given from German sources that the
''Zeppelins' are now about to begin
their work over the North sea and
England. If this is true and these
monsters of the air justify the ardent
German expectations the present week
NAV see a decided change in the sit
uation.

The Trouble Borrower.

There was a man whose life lad followed
quiet. happy lines.
1t was song of light and Joyous tone.
His fortune was sufficient for his taxes
and his fines
And he hadn't any trouble of his own.
Though 'mongst his neighbors sounds of
strife we're flying thick and fast,
Involving compiled tons of the future
and the past,
The sky of his existence by no cloud was
overcast,
For he hadn't any troubles of his own.
Tranquility annoyed him and he wearied
of repose.
Such cases very often have been known.
He hunted for the thorn instead OF
valuing the rose,
When he hadn't any trouble OF his own.
He Jumped into the business OF folks who
disagree.
He volunteered as umpire and likewise
as referee.
He has insomnia now and from distress is
never free,
For everybody's trouble is his own.

Germany in China.
ON the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Germany has more to lose than mere
ly it's leased territory on the bay of
Kiaochow. In the treaty by which she
obtained this leasehold Germany was
granted the right to construct three
main lines of railways penetrating
Shantung province. OF these the main
line from Tsingtao to Tsinanfu and
some short branch lines are in opera
ton. BY virtue of these grants Ger
many has claimed Shantung as her
sphere of influence" The German
government has gone so far in assert
ing this right as to place veto" upon
China's constructing any railways in
this province unless built under a Ger
man loan and with German supervision
Less than six months ago the Chinese
government sought to interest Ameri-
Chefoo to Weihsien. The project had
to be dropped because of Germany's
opposition.

age of travelling over the scenic rail
way which extends along the bay
front for a number of miles, ant
one branch of which will end at The
grand stand of the race track; while
stations will be placed at convenient
points Immediately adjacent to the
buildings of the Department of Live

Live Stock Conventions.
Close by the large stables, and YET
on the bay front, will be located the
Congress Hall and office building
in which the official force of the
Department of. Live Stock will do its
work and the many live stock, poul-
try, veterinary, and other conven-
tions which will hold their annual OF
special sessions in San Francisco in
1915, will find ample accomm oda-
ton in the way Of a well lighted
hall. moving picture apparatus, and
other facilities for illustrating lee
lures and demonstrations needed in
such conventions.
In addition to the interior plans,
equipment and conveniences of the
various buildings of the Department
of Live Stock, which are intended to
be models for all future expositions,
the plan of the various buildings is
of unique character and they form
a group of pleasing attractiveness
and design. This is enhanced by the
color scheme which is in harmony
with the other buildings and pal
aces of the exposition and which
will add to the importance Of this
group as models for future exposi-
tions.
Special Exhibits.
There will be special stalls pro-
vided for nurse cows, and also
there will be an animal hospital for
use in emergency cases. In addi-
ton, there will be a permanent ex-
hibit made by the American Humane
Society, in which the methods of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

dog show, in which all
prominent breeds of dogs will be on
permanent exhibition.
In scope as well as in detail, the
plans of the Department. of Live
Stock of the Panama-Pacific Inter-

immeasurable Importance to the mil
