in 1ss0-thirty-six years ago-Gen. Gar
field, a delegate from Ohio to the re-
publican national convention of that
year, made a speech of such power and
charm, though in the interests of an
other-John Sherman-it won the noni-
nation for the speaker. Hence the ques-
ton, May not history repeat itself
May not the echo of Mr.. Harding's key
note be his nomination for President?
As The Star a few weeks ago pointed
out, Gen. Garield's speech alone, stirring
as it was, did not account for his nomi-
nation. He had long been q national
fgure-one of the most attractive in the
country. He had helped make much i'm
portant national history. He had adj
mirers in every state Of the Union. His
record covered every current issue of
national consequence. So that when the
convention of 1880 wearied of its dead
lock- Gen. Garfield as key fitted to T.
For dozen good reasons he was the
very man for the emergency. and the
people at the polls ratified the selection.
His convention speech simply pointed
afresh at an opportune moment to the
man and his record long widely known
and admired.

No man can know the result Of Yuan's
death. China is in state of great fer
ment and developments have way of
occurring swiftly there. If the repub-
lie is to be perpetuated, some man as
strong as Yuan must be developed
quickly. If he was assassinated, as is
intimated, his death is probably but one
item in a course of a plot which may
lead to astounding results.

Death of Kitchener.

! England is suffering heavy blows just
at present. Quickly following the naval
battle off Jutland, in which many British
| ships were lost, with serious destruc-
| ton of life, comes the news that Earl
Kitchener, the foremost British soldier,
minister of war, has been drowned with
his staff in the sinking of the cruiser
Hampshire off the coast of the Orkney
Islands. The vessel was struck by a
torpedo or mine and sank so quickly
that apparently all on board were lost.
Kitchener was the popular idol of the
British when the war began. He had a
long record of eminent achievements in
the field. His services in South Africa
during the Boer war, as Lord Roberts
chief aid, were such as to endear him
to the British people. He was stern
soldier, silent, determined, highly
trained. a severe disciplinarian. At the
outset of the present campaign he frank
ly declared that he foresaw at least three
years of strife, but was confident of
British victory. His work at the head
of the army was heavily handicapped
by England's unpreparedness in the mat
ter Of both men and munitions. Even
tually he became minister of war and
the duty of providing ammunition and
guns was intrusted to another, David
Lloyd George, whose genius for organi
zation finally brought about a sufficient
supply of war materials.
The official announcement of the dis
aster states that the Hampshire was on
the way to Russia and it is to be in
ferred that Kitchener was going to con-
fer with the Russian military authorities
respecting the plans of campaign.
Kitchener, it will be remembered, went
to Greece some months ago and had an
interview with King Constantine at
Athens. He was in the line of his duty
when death overlook him.
Kitchener's loss Will be sorely felt by
England. His great personal prestige
was large asset in the war making or
ganization, and it will be difficult to fill
his place adequately. If the Hampshire
was sunk by torpedo the belief will
prevail that his presence on board was
known to the Germans, and that the YES
sci was marked for destruction in order
to deprive England of the valuable serv-
ices of her chief soldier.

An Old Swindle Worked Here.

| 1t is astonishing with what success
old swindles are worked upon unsus-
pecting victims Notwithstanding all
warnings and despite the very fagrancy
of the frauds, these traditional games,
like the penny-matching contest and the
"lost pocketbook.' are continued as
methods of separating the unwary from
their money. The latest case is pecul-
city was approached on the street by
two strangers, of her own race, who
told her they had just found a pocket
book containing $500, and were anxious
to make change. By some hocus-pocus
of persuasion, coupled with the promise
Of part Of the findings if she aided
them, they persuaded her to give them
$l17.5o, promising to meet her at GER
tain time with the money due to her.
Of course, she never saw them again.
1t would seem that such barefaced
swindle would never succeed. But there
is no telling what people will do for
the chance to get. something for moth
ing. The victim is usually played upon
through desire for gain. The swim
dlers are shrewd and select their marks
carefully. In the case Of the penny
matching game they are clever in find
ing some one from out Of town, as
rule, and always some one with funds
i'll pocket.
The police can do little to check these
games. By the time they hear Of them
the criminals have fed town, seeking
other fields. If they ever return to this
city for fresh victims they are for
gotten and Identification is difficult.
All that can be done is to give the wild
est publicity to every swindling case, to
warn everybody against putting conf
dence in unknown persons in matters
relating to money. Suspicion may be an
uncharitable impulse, but it is safer
than injudicious generosity or quick
grasping for unearned profits. And the
cry of Safety first" is good rule to
adopt when dealing with strangers.

Justice Hughes Address.

Hughes boomers everywhere-and par
ticularly those now assembled at Chi
cago-will extract the livelest satisfac-
tion from the address delivered yester-
day by the man they want nominated for
President. Is there anywhere nobler
tribute to the Stars and Stripes, or a
clearer exposition of its meaning? Is
hot adequate preparedness subscribed to
in every word! Would there be any
doubt about the use of preparedness
by such man should he be elected
President, and should an emergency
arise during his incumbency of the Of
fce9 Can the republican party, OR any
party, show better Americana
And another point, which the Hughes
men will note with pride. Mr. Wilson
is much praised for his powers of ex-
preston. He has nice choice of words
and turn of phrase. But here is an
other man quite as gifted in that par
ticular. The styles differ. Mr.. Wilson
is an educator and writer; Justice
Hughes lawyer and speaker.
If Justice Hughes is nominated. the
republicans will be assured of a speech
or letter of acceptance couched in terms
of strength and felicity and quotable in
the campaign; and if he is elected, mes
sages to Congress and other state papers
worthy in form and force of our best
traditions. This short deliverance on
the subject of the flag exhibits power
which applied to other great subjects
the tariff among the number-will make
with equal success for firmcr popular
understanding of them.
As a matter of fact. however, this dis
closure carries nothing strictly new, but
only something previously exhibited.
Since his name was first suggested for
the Chicago nomination, Justice Hughes
has been frequently complimented
afresh on the speech he made at Youngs-
town, Ohio, in 1908, opening the Taft
campaign. He showed in that not only
a thorough grasp of the issues, but
capacity to group and express them in
an unusual degree. The occasion was
his debut on the national stump, and
the result was an unqualified success.
The candidate, the canse. the speaker, all
benefited. A local reputation at once
became national, and the performance is
still remembered.
1t is easy to assume that what Justice
Hughes then did for Mr.. Taft he could
now do for himself AS the candidate
of his party for President he would
state the case, the whole case, and moth
ing but the case, in a way to prime all
republican spellbinders. and inaugurate
an exceedingly interesting campaign.

The Passing of Yuan Shi Kai,

China is land of mystery. No west
erner can fully understand the WAYS of
men there, or follow clearly the course
OF events. Much is hidden under the
deep reserve of the Celestial nature and
the 1ndlrection which is the dominat-
ing characteristic of the race. When
few days ago it was reported that
Yuan Shi Kai, the president Of the re-
public and would emperor of the re-
stored monarchy, was dangerously i'll the
intimaiion was given in the dispatches
that he had been poisoned and was dy-
ing. This report was vigorously denied
officially. Yuan, it was declared, was in
good health, physically and officially. and
everything was serene in the land. To-
day comes the brief announcement of
Yuan's death.
Yuan Shi Kai played a remarkable
role during the period of Chinese re-
organization. He found his opportunity
in the turmoil following the overturn
Of the empire. He wrested the lead from
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who was the soul of
the revolution, and placed himself at
the head OF the new organization. His
ambition, however, was his undoing. He
aspircd to be the founder OF a new
! dynasty and had himself anointed with
the eInblems Of imperial dignity and pro
/ claimed his design to make China once
more into an empire, with himself ut
the head. The reaction against him was
| immediate and Yuan was politician
enough to see that his move was i'll
timed. He renowned all imperial in.
tentions and sought to regain the con,
fdenee of the people, which he had
never, however, fully won. 1t was too
late. In the southern provinces the spirit
of rebellion was rife, and lately Yuan
had been facing a situation OF the gray
est difficulty.

| been active in China to undermine

and to create a state of decentralization
