JAPAN ASSURES u. S.
ON RUSSIAN TREATY
America Is Watching Policy Of
Nippon In China.


Tokyo, Sept. 6-Japan has officially
assured the United States that the al
lance made by Russia and Japan will
not affect the status quo in the far
east.
Washington, Sept 6.--Close watch
Is being maintained by diplomatic of
ficials here over the newly threaten
ed crisis between Japan and China
growing out of the recent clash Of the
two nations troops at Cheng Chiatun.
Considerable fear is felt that the
rights of the United States in China
may be affected, in view of the con-
fidential reports that Japan has made
other demands than those published
In dispatches from Pekin, and that
the secret negotiations threaten Chin
csc rule throughout inner Mongolia.
Tokyo, Sept 6.-Another clash be-
sween Chinese and Japanese troops is
reported officially from Chac ngpo,
Mongolia. and has led to the dispatch
Of heavy Japanese reinforcements 1t
is claimed that the Chinese attacked
the Japanese while the Japanese were

Complete results from the primary in
Missouri, while showing a plurality for
the Democrats, are such as to give the
Republicans great encouragement Pri-
mary results there in 1904 and 1908
gave the Democrats a lead each year
of between 10000 and 10000, vet the
Republican candidates carried the state
both times. This year 385,61O votes
were cast in the primary on United
States senator, the Democratic candi-
dates receiving total of 1926, and
the Republican candidates total of
,355, showing Democratic major
ity of only 1900. This is the best
showing the Republican party has ever
made in that state in a primary, and
cannot but be interpreted as indicat-
ing a united and harmonious party.
with much better chances of winning
than forecasted by the primary votes
of either 1904 or 1908.

A Satisfied People.

That the people of Wisconsin make
up a satisfied electorate, willing to let
well enough alone, was demonstrated
on Tuesday in the denomination of
Governor Philip and Senator LaFol-
lette. The people showed, without any
doubt, that they believed ,in the Gov
ernor and that they desired two years
more of the economy program. They
also showed that they were willing to
allow Senator LaFollette to continue
his theoretical experiments in govern
ment, but insisted that he try them
down at Washington instead of up at
Madison. The result of the primaries
on Tuesday is great victory for bust
ness methods in the state. The oppo-
sition of Governor Philip had left no
stone unturned to secure his defeat.
It had preached disunion all over the
state. Charges of every possible sort
were brought against the Governor by
anxious office seekers who sought his
place at Madison The answer of the
people at the primaries on Tuesday
showed that they believed in Governor
Philip and his program for the gov
eminent of the state. In Kenosha
county, where the opponents of the
government had preached their theories
of government from the soap box on
many occasions, the people told what
they thought Of the denunciations of
the Governor and the administration
by giving him a clean majority in the
county of more than two hundred and
fifty and a plurality of three hundred
over both of his leading opponents.
The same condition prevailed pretty
well all over the state. The people
simply indicated that they were salts
fed. That they believe that Governor
Philip had made an honest effort to
carry out every political promise, that
ne had made, and that his plan for the
administration of the affairs Of the
state, If carried out, would bring the
proper relief to the people from the
high taxes and theoretical government
which has proved expensive in other
years The result at the primaries was
wonderful victory for the Governor.
1t means that Wisconsin is going to
havq Republican governor for the
next two years and that Wisconsin is
going to be counted in, the Hughes
column when the national election is
held in November.

Democratic Prosperity and the Shell
Game.

The Allies have ordered 100000
shells from the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, aggregate cost, $15,000,000.
They will be made up at the Eddy
stone plant. The American Locomo-
tive Works recently got an order for
$15,000,000 worth of 8-inch shells. The
American Car and Foundry Company
has an order for $18,0O0,000 worth of
90 inch shells, the American Brake
Shoe Foundry Company for $22, 100000
worth, and the American Steel Foun-.
dries have an order involving
$20,O00,00O. 1t is believed that these
orders come from the Russian govern
ment because recent statement of
Lloyd George was to the effect that
England and France had worked their
munitions plants up to point where
they were fully capable Of meeting all
requirements. Larger caliber shells
are now being ordered in this country
because of their greater explosive pow
er which enables the Allies to blast
their way through concrete emplaee-
ments and redoubts against which the
small caliber shells were Ineffective
By and by, Democratic stump orator
will be heard in this vicinity warbling
a prosperity syncopation, and accomp-
anying him will be Democratic movie
film showing pictures taken of the
above named plants with their chin
neys belching smoke and thousands Of
sleek looking Workmen trooping to the
factory. The title of the film will be
Democracy Brings Era of Unexam
pied Prosperity but the pictures will
be taken outside the mills. The Demo
Gratis are dense enough to believe that
they can fool the people by playing the
shell game. The victims of this Demo
cratic prosperity will be the soldiers
slain on the European battle-felds by
munitions "Made in America a few

The United States government, hav-
ing gone on record as the promoter Of
advanced labor ideas, will now prepare
to reap the whirlwind. If the railway
workers can demand a government

The immigration bill, like the cat,
comes back. Mr.. Wilson would like
to side-track it until ecember-and
for a good reason. He has vetoed it
once, when it narrowly avoided pas
sage over his veto. The labor unions
are intensely in favor of it; and if it
were to be vetoed again on the eve of
an election, it would probably react
upon the president support at the
polls. Therefore, despite his wonder
full facility at changing his mind, he
would prefer to have the cup pass from
him this time. Not so Congress, how
ever. There are some senators of the
presidents own party who favor the
bill as much as he detests it. These
gentlemen, having had ssome legisla-
tion of the president S favor, rammed
down their Threats, are now inclined
to give aim dose of his own medi-
cine. They want the immigration bill
taken up and passed. Then Mr.. Will
son may do as he pleases or as he
thinks expediency requires-with it.

Friends Of President Wilson are
blaming Roger Sullivan of Illinois for
the action of Raymond Robins, the
Progressive leader, in going into the
Republican party. Robins had been
an independent prior to his association
with the Progressives, but when he had
to choose new utilization, he promptly
chose the party of constructive policies
and progressive record. It is not at
all improbable that the prominence. of
Roger Sullivan in the councils of the
Democratic party had something to do
with Robins decision, though the diff
ferences in party principles undoubted-
~ had much stronger influence, for
Robins is a man who places more i'm
portance upon principles than he does
upon individuals. He condemned Will
sons vacillation and incompetency, but
deplored his political principles even
more strongly. In this he has much
company, for there are thousands of
Democrats who have come to the con
clusion that Wilson is absolutely
wrong on the tariff question, that he
has not been equal to the diplomatic
problems he has encountered, that he
has been unwise in selecting his official
advisors and heads of departments,
that he has been vacillating in the ex-
IRENE, and that, for the sake of ex-
pediency, he has formed political asso-
Citations that are not credit to him or
his party. The Roger Sullivan type of
Democrat in Illinois, the election fraud
type in Indiana, the Tammany type in
New York, are enough to drive all the
men of the Raymond Robins type into
the Republican party, even if no party
principles were at stake.
