Family Indicate Turning of Tide.

ed him with ardent enthusia sm
And they accepted him. He has not
changed. Pennsylvania Republicans
have changed. But the narrow mar
gin by which he won indicates that
they have not changed entirely
About half of them are willing to
accept the old order.
Too Soon to Predict.
Only as the nomination of Pinchot
is read in the light of the triumph
Of Beveridge in Indiana can the
Pennsylvania result hold any ma
tonal significance. Even then tt is
too soon to say that the two may
not be sporadic occurrences. At the
most they are waves which seem to
indicate the first faint turning of
the tide. They surely are not a
ground swell.
The tide which rose to it's full
in 1912 was ten years in develop
ing. 1t began with the early years
of the Roosevelt leadership and even
with all of the pull of his Wig
or0us personality came slowy. 1t
developed La Toilette Dolliver, Muir
dock and Hadley in the early years
Of the first decade of the century
overwhelming Cannon's leadership,
then raging in defiant insurgence
of Aldrich and Taft and finally roar
ing in fury with the Bull Moose
storm. This had subsided so greatly
In 1914 that the very leaders were
cast out. So in 1916 when Roosevelt
suggested Lodge as a Presidential
candidate, the tide was at its ebb.
Tide Has Not Turned.
. H1 IL
tide has turned. But the victories
of Beveridge and Pinchot are worth
considering. If other Progressive
victories shall follow those in Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania. it will be fair
to hope that the inwash of idealism
in the Republican party is showing
genuine signs of return.
If Michigan. for instance, repudi-
ates the Newberry scandal and the
holy show which denounced him and
then accepted him in the Senate
last winter, then we may reasonably
feel that the wave of reaction has
begun it's ebb. 1t may take ten years
to change the control of the Re-
publican party as it took twenty
years ago.
But the ten years will be full of
events. 1t will be good fighting and
grand and happy time. In the
meanwhile, 1t is too early to rejoice.
1t will not be we'll for Progressives
to begin cracking their heels to-
gether and speaking their minds

TRAVELLER SAYS GENERAL WI
WILL GIVE CHINA DEMOCRACY
Declares Educated Seek Government Modelled
After ". S.-Lauds Victorious Army.

Gale, who has just arrived in WASH
ington. talked about China last night
before the American Association Of
University Women at the latter's ma
tional headquarters. 1884 l street
northwest
Those in China who are striving
for an American form of govern
ment, however, are confronted with
the same situation which existed in
this country just after the Revolu-
tion, he said. The Chinese provinces,
according TO Gale. are Jealous of their
own sovereignty and do not want
to be Emleed from the capital. They
are perfectly willing to have China s
foreign affairs managed from Pekin,
he said, but they want domestic mat
tiers handled in their own provinces.
OF the three Chinese leaders striv-
ing for control of China, WI Pei
Flu has the interests of the people
and democracy most at heart. Gale
declared. WI Pei Flu recently cap
tured Pekin in battle with Gen. Chang
Tso Lin, the Manchurian war lord.
Sees Progress.
Sun Vat Sen. President Of the Can
ton or Southern government, was
characterized as an opportunist by
Gale.
China is gradually awakening. and
in a decade or so should be firmly
established as on of the leading
nations OF the world. Gale declared.
One evidence of this. he said. was
the fact that Chinese customs rev.
enues are collected now mainly under
the supervision of Chinese. with just
few foreigners assisting. At one
time. he said. foreigners were AL
most wholly in charge OF this work

EMPORIA, Kans, May 1S.-The
victory of Clifford Pinchot in the
Pennsylvania primaries is largely a
personal victory. Yet his enemies
must not read too much personality
into it, The kind of . personality
Pinchot projected into the campaign
is a part of the victory. He offered
TO the Pennsylvania Republicans an
honest man, a brave man, a man of

obligations rest lightly. and for
whom party slogans, shibboleths and
