who must by this time be growing
uneasy at the increasing numbers OF
Prussians whom William is sending
to join him. Nicholas, too, might
have profitable time explaining tc
the shade of Peter the Great that he
was a man of little virtue and ability
But, upon eXaming President Feng
Kuo-chang's apology, it begins tc
appear that it is somewhat more than
that open confession which is good
for the soul. The Chinese admins
tration has been criticised, principal.
ly, it appears, on account of the acts
of some of the presidents subordin-
ates. Instead of declaring that
everything is perfect, that all office
holders are perfect, procedure
which might conceivably irritate the
public still more, Feng Kuo-chang
agrees with his critics. He has made
bad appointments; he is guilty OF
ignorance of men; he is lacking in
foresight. Measures designed to
save the situation have resulted in
more confusion.
This, naturally, reduces the ten
sion. The presidents critics find
their own insight admitted; the feel
ing grows that, since the president
realizes his shortcomings, he cannot
be so bad after all. And what fol-
lows? II dare not hold my high
Office in opposition to public censure, y
concludes the president of China,
but the tenure of Office is ordained
by the constitution, and cannot be
easily set aside. When order is
restored and the populace relieved l
shall retire, full of gratitude"
And so the superheated steam of
criticism, having been aided in blow
ing itself off, fades into the blue sky;
nobody has lost his job, the same
officials are still at the same old
desks, and Feng Kuo-chang, ruling
over a republic that feels the satisfy
ing consciousness of having con-
fessed all and forgiven all, probably
wonders blandly why the heather
rage, and the people imagine vain
thing.

military camps had convinced him
finally that universal military SER
vice is excellent.
Il am not militarist and hope
the end of the war will wipe the
slate clean and end huge military
establishments" said Mr.. Taft upon
his return from Great Lakes. "Never-
theless, no one who has spent a
month, as | have, in the various can
tonments could fail to be impressed
with the tremendous improvement in
the physique, carriage, character,
and discipline of the young men now
in the army and navy. l am, there
fore, fortified in my belief in uni
versal military training for our
young men,
One-third of the young men al
ready examined for military service
in this country failed to pass the
physical tests. Many of them are
remedied and would have been rene
died if universal military training
had been in operation during the past
few years. For the welfare of the
young men themselves, if for no other
reason, they should be given the
chance to make the best possible
physical development After former
President Taft had spent month
among the cantonments he said he
was impressed with the tremendous
improvement in the physique, car
riage, character and discipline Of the
young men, and it requires some
thing to impress Mr.. Taft.

IN THE TENTH.

Sioux City Journal l.. J. Dickinson
of Algona, is in the field actively en-
gagged in his canvass for the repub-
lican congressional nomination to
succeed Frank p. Woods, of the Tenth
district. He publishes his picture and
his platform" in the Tenth district
newspapers, and is making speeches
here and there. His published state
ment for the most part is an attack
upon Mr.. Woods war record, but, in
The Journals opinion, it is not i'm
pressives nor convincing and does
not lend encouragement to the be-
lief that he will be able to under
mine Mr.. Woods. Though Mr. Woods

These two classes were disfranchised
on the theory that they could not be
fair in their votes on a question of
this sort.
On the other hand Canada enfran-
chised every man serving in the Can
adian armies, whether he was citi-
zen of Canada when he enlisted or
not. Thus many thousands of young
Englishmen and Americans in the
armies voted who were not formally
Canadian citizens; this on the theory
that any man who was willing to fight
for Canada was good enough to vote.
Again, they enfranchised all nurses
serving with the armies; also the
wife, widow, daughter, mother or
sister Of every man serving in the
armies; thus soldier might through
these relationships give eight or ten
women the right to cast the ballot,
and it was these noble women who
carried the election and saved Canada
from the shame of refusing to con-
tinue doing her part in the war;
The record of the Canadians in Eu-
rope has been brilliant one, and
the posterity of that country for
hundreds of years to come will justly
feel proud of that record. They have
sent about $4,000 men across, and
from this number have been able to
keep four divisions, or about $4,000
men, constantly on the fighting lines.
The time has now come when recruit
ing has dropped off, and consumption
was necessary to fill the ranks. They
have met this issue gloriously as
above noted.

WHAT CANADA DID.

Jefferson Bee: The recent Canadian
election on the matter of CONSUMPTION
which resulted in an endorsement OF
the Borden Government and the ap-
prevail of the Borden policy Of main
tanning their armies on a CONSUMPTION
basis, was in many respects the most
remarkable election ever held in the
world.
In this election Canada disfranchis-
ed all persons who, for reasons of re-
ligion or conscience, are opposed to
war; also all foreigners from enemy
countries who have not been citizens
Of Canada for more than fifteen years.

THE CHINESE WAY.

New York Times: Perhaps no.
where but among the Chinese, to
whom several thousand years of
contemplation of human affairs has
brought certain equanimity, would
ruler have been able to issue the
extraordinary statement just made
public by President Feng Kuochang,
in which he says:
l examine myself and find that
have many defects. l appointed
officials without carefully examining
into their conduct, SO l am guilty of
ignorance of men. / offered easy
terms in an effort to satisfy the pop
ular desire, so that am lacking in
foresight. My effort to save from
misery brought more misery; my
hope to save the situation resulted
in more confusion. federation brings
undesirable results, so that cannot
make others believe in my sincerity.
| am too weak for the burden, and
cannot escape public blame and con-
demnation for being guilty in many
ways.
The Chinese, however, are used to
this. Only two or three years ago
Yuan Shihkai, oscillating between an
autocratic presidency and a consti-
tutional empire, was moved by the
ill success of his country's negoti-
ations with Japan to inform his peo-
pie that 81 feel that / am a man of
little virtue and ability" and to
apologize to his ancestors for any
discredit that he might be bringing
upon the family name. In the west
ern world, of course, it would never
do. The imperial Hohenzollern, for
instance, that monarch whom Ger
man propagandists bid us regard as
only a hereditary president, has an
almost Chinese generation for his
ancestors-for certain carefully selec-
teu dhSeotois, W NC SuiS' "'~
qualities more closely resemble his
own than do those of some other
monarchs in the Prussian line. Sup
pose We were to feel the necessity OF
apologizing to them; to the grand
father of whom he speaks so much,
for fighting all his enemies together
instead of one at a time, as that
grandfather and his faithful Bismarck
were wont to do; to his other fav-
orite, old Fritz in the Elysian fields,

Now is the time for some patriotic
member Of congress to introduce bill
overhauling our immigration and
naturalization laws. The people and
congress are now in mood to serve
the interests of the country rather
than the interests of immigrants
However, laws that serve the country
best in these respects will serve the
immigrant most in the long run. Our
naturalization claws should require
that any man coming to this country
with the view of staying here should
Immediately take out his first papers,
if he is acceptable. Then he should
be required to take out his final papers
at the expiration of a reasonable
period of time But he should not
be given the ballot until he had lived
in this country at least ten years and
could read and write our language.
No immigrant who is unwilling to con-
form to such program should be per-
mitted to remain in this country
Moreover, our naturalization laws
should provide that any naturalized
citizen who is disloyal in time of war
should be disfranchised forever, and it
would not be unreasonable for the
government to confiscate his property
and send him back to the country from
whence he came

seems to have firm hold upon the
Tenth district, doubtless the voters
of the district might be persuaded to
set him aside, if the case were to be
presented to them in a pre-eminent
way by man of pre-eminent ability
From the standpoint of disint-
crested observer, The Journal doubts
Mr.. Dickinson's ability to turn the
trick
Britt Tribune: Mr.. Dickinson will
make a clean campaign without
throwing any mud or personalities
He is being supported by whole
lot of good clean republicans who
believe that Frank P. Woods has
outlived his usefulness in congress
if he ever had any, and We believe
he will, if elected, make us good
clean congressman, one to be proud
of and one that will not have to be
excused every time he casts vote
or makes a move.

PROPOSED WAR CABINET.

Omaha Bee: Public thought should
not be confused on the question OF the
proposed war cabinet It's establish
ment could not take from the president
any of his constitutional or war pow
ers, nor hinder him in his personal
direction of affairs. The bill as pre-
scented to the senate merely authorizes
the president to name council Of
three men, subject to the approval OF
the senate, to form central body un-
der which shall be co-ordinated all war
activities The action of this body on
questions before it is to be final, sub
ject to review and approval by the
president. 1t is not expected the presi-
dent would select men in whom he had
no confidence, nor that the senate
would fail to confirm his choice.
Machinery of our war department
as at present constituted has shown
by its workings that it is inefficient
as we'll as insufficient for the task
assigned to it. No other country has
tried to manage it's war business on
a plan similar to ours Great Britain
long ago set up war ministry, while
France and Germany already we're
equipped for the big job of handling
and supplying bodies of men in the
field.
A superior war council would elimi
nate much of the present cumbersome
and dilatory management of our army
and navy; it would secure better re-
suits at less cost in time and money,
and so would save many lives as well
as much energy. It's only possible re-
Election on the president is that it
would supersede existing divided con-
troll by centralized operation. Mr.. Will
son would be provided withia RESPONSE
BILE and responsive war council, instead
of the dislocated and inarticulate ag-
gregation of bureaus and boards,
whose best efforts SO far have brought
These facts make the presidents
determined opposition to the plan all
the more inexplicab1e. Readjustment
of our army control must come,
though, either through the president or
congress if we are to win in
the war

TAFT FINALLY CONVINCED.

Former President Taft has not in
the past held views in harmony with
those believing in universal military
training in this" country, but the big
man has changed his mind regarding
this important proposition. After
concluding stay of few days at
Great Lakes Mr.. Taft said that the
result Of his thirty days speaking in

According to Associated Press and
United Press dispatches from Europe,
Germany demanded from Russia an
indemnity of $4,000, OOO,O 900 in addition
to some large slices of territory. 1t
seems improbable that these reports
are true, because Germany is unwill-
ing to show her hand at this time by
demanding money indemnity. She
can demand the territory and fool the
people of Austria who are opposed to
indemnities by insisting that she is
going to evacuate such territory and
return it to Russia as soon as it is
safe to do so, but she cannot throw

"The old churchmen preached of

They speak with different tongues but

Wagner, Kreig, 1906, p. 145.
GAS matter of fact, the struggle
between the different social classes of
one and the same people is nothing but
fever, a process of decomposition
within the national organism, whereas
a fight against foreign enemies en-
