China's New President.

With the best wishes of the nations,
Chang Kai-shek today assumes the
Office of President of the Chinese
Nationalist government. He is being
inaugurated at Shanghai on the seven
tenth anniversary Of the beginning of
the campaign against the then ruler at
Picking. This warfare started with an
outbreak at Wuchang in 1911 and has
been continued in one form or another
continuously since. China has passed
through terrible experience in that
span of seventeen years. Whether it
has emerged from its conflict and is
now established definitely as republic
remains to be seen. 1t is to be hoped
that it has, that the warning factions
are appeased if not suppressed. In the
course of this warfare, which has been
marked by complications and changes
incomprehensible to westerners, many
thousands of lives have been sacrificed,
the industries of the country have been
crippled and foreign relations have been
sorely strained. In view of the turmoil
and the constant shifts, the combina-
lions made and broken, the changes of
allegiance, the formation, disintegra-
ton and reformation of armies under
the war lords, the intrigues and be-
trayals that have marked the past few
years, there is no cause for wonder that
some doubt prevails on the score of the
permanency of this new organization of
which Chang Kai-shek is now the
head.
President Chang Kai-shek is a man
Of unquestionable capacity and char
acter, devoted follower of Sun Vat
Sen. He has shown an exceptional
steadfastness of purpose, he has dis
played administrative abilities Of high
order, he has proved himself a COM
petent military commander and he has
manifested high abilities as a diplomat.
Reports thus far received of the organ
ization Of the new government under
his presidency indicate that he is bent
upon pursuing a policy of Cancellation
and consolidation, including in his
Sauncil representatives of hitherto OPP
posing factions
Though the Inauguration takes place
today at Shanghai, Marking is the seat
of government of the Chinese republic,
1t having been transferred some time
ago from Peking to that city, which is
in fact an ancient capital of China,
Shanghai is appropriately the scene of
Chang Kai-shek's induction into Office,
for it was the headquarters of Sun Vat
Sen and was the starting point Of the
Nationalist movement which spreading
and advancing northward eventually
effected the defeat of the opposing war
lords and resulted in what it is hoped
will prove to be united China with its
government based upon sound principles
and administered by sincere patriots.

Emphatic Approval Is Given
Rejection of Naval Accord

the suggestion: 1--WE believe that the
United States ought to settle in its own
mind the precise role which 1t wishes
the British empire to play in our future
scheme of things. The British empire
is unquestionably a convenience to the
United States. 1t is not unfriendly
bufferSstate between us and the rest of
the world. In the minds OF many
thoughtful Americans, there is a grave
question whether this country could az
ford to let Britain, assuming that it were
threatened, be destroyed
\ X Il
Anxiety lest the present tendencies
abroad endanger the 5-5-3 ratio
established at the Washington confer
ence is expressed by the Worcester Tele-
gram and the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch.
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch condemns
1.-The stupid assumption that the United
States would recede from all its terms
with regard to naval limitation, for
which it stood SO firmly at the Geneva
conference"
The New Orleans Tribune thinks that
mo nation in the present posture OF
events, should undertake to improve its
naval position beyond the status quo.
For that" continues the Tribune,
merely leads to competitive navy Dullo-
ing. On the other hand, 1t should be
everybodys study to reduce the present
naval establishments While we know
this is infinitely easier to say than to
do, still there ought to be talent enough
in the navies and craftsmanship enough
in the major governments of the world
to bring about such a reduction without
very seriously changing the status quo"
The American note, to the Reno Eve
ming Gazette, seems to be an effective
document" while the Salt Lake Deseret
News says the United States adopts a
wise policy in demanding that such
questions as the limitation of ornaments
be openly discussed and agreements be
made public"
1--WE must seek, as all nations must
SEEK. contends the Houston Chronicle,
agreements on naval limitation. The
present proposed agreement is indeed
monstrosity of unfairneSs, but its pres
entation emphasizes the great need of
some such agreement"

The Greatest Team.

The Yanks have done 1t again! And
in doing it the greatest team of modern
base ball reached its peak of accom-
plishment. Four games in a row from
the National League pennant winners
in 1927 and four games in a row from
the winners in 1928! Only once before
in the long history of Americas ma
tional game has this feat been per-
formed for single year, and it was
SO far back that few base ball fans
remember it, yet the Yankees accom-
plished it for two successive years. In
1914 the Boston Braves, after phe-
nomenal squirt to win the pennant.
rode roughshod over their opponents
for four straight, but it remained for
the New Workers yesterday to write a
new chapter in the book of records.
"As Ruth goes, so go the Yankees"
has come to be almost an axiom Of the
game, and it was never better demon
strated than yesterday, when this great
est long-distance batter of all time,
forgetting injuries, age and weight,
staged another incredible exhibition.
Three home runs rang from his big bat,
the second time that this prodigious
feat has ever been accomplished in a
single game in world series game, or,
1t might better be said, the second time
that Ruth has accomplished it.
Beaten by their opponents of yester-
day two years ago for the championship,
the Yankees entered the 1928 series
with the odds against them. A hard
fight in the American League found
the New York team barely staggering
over the line, and injuries sustained
by star players further decreased their
chances. When they took the first
game from the Cardinals there was no
great surprise, because their star
! pitcher was in the box, but when they
emerged victors in the second. their

sixth consecutive world series triumph,
there was real amazement, and the
pendulum began to swing to the ulti-
mate victor. When Tom Zachary, the
washington cast-off, turned in the third
win for the Yankees, it was all over
but the shouting, and speculation was
only upon whether New York would
make it four straight. And yesterday
they did it.
Real greatness is ability to rise to
emergencies, and by this token the
New York team is the greatest in his
tory. It's deeds will live forever in
the annals of base ball, and its players
richly deserve the fame and fortune
that is theirs.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.


Echo of May Day.
Autumn colors shining;
Year goes on its way.
What's the use o. pining
For the month of May.
AS the frost draws nearer
With relentless show,
Memories grow dearer
OF the long ago.
Autumn colors cleaning
Soon to fade away
They reflect the dreaming
Of the vanished May.

it was said. was the first time that the
Smith vote had approached so nearly

ahead of his Democratic opponent
X X
AS the election more nearly approach
es, the Southern Smith leaders are
making more and more of the race is
sue, in an effort to check the defec-
lions from Democratic ranks in States
like North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
and Kentucky They are dragging out
old stories about the force bill. which
the late Senator Lodge introduced in
the House in 1890, and which finally
died in the Senate In 1891. This bill
was designed to give the Federal Gov
eminent supervision in elections In all
election districts in States where SO to
100 voters asked for supervision. There
were provisions in the bill also to make
use of Federal troops If necessary to
preserve order, and protect the voters
at the polls. Immediately this bill was
introduced the members OF Congress
from the South were up in arms. They
saw negro domination at the polls
in some of their States. But not only
the Southern Democrats were stirred,
but also Tammany Democrats in New
York, who did not banker after Fed
eral supervision of the polls in their own
city any more than did the Southern
Democrats. The bill passed the House
by close vote, but was never brought
to a vote in the Senate, where f1li-
buster developed and the Republican
leaders finally allowed it to go by the
board so that they could bring to a
vote and passage the Republican tar
i'll bill of that year.
The Democrats profess to see the
danger of another force bill If the Re-
publicans are placed in power by the
coming election, with the assistance
of Southern electoral votes. They fear
that If the South deserts the Northern
Democratic candidate for President the
Democrats of the North may take re-
prisals and support a force bill in
the next Congress.
The race issue in the South, which
has been dormant at the polls for
years, is brought to life again in this
campaign. And the race issue cuts
deeper than religion, prohibition or
any other in these Southern States
The Democrats believe that it will be
effective, as it has in the past, in keep
ing the voters lined up against the Re-
publican ticket.

 This is the attitude of the re- publican party in this state: we have opposed these things, we do not believe in them: they interfere with members of our party and We are in defiance of you; you have got to put us back because there are 50 many more republicans than there are democrats.

 "Senator. why does the assembly go through the empty performance of passing an enforcement bill every year when they know the senate is not going to pass it?" and the sena- tor was quoted as replying:

Governor Smith has sounded the keynote of . statewide campaign that may. in the dnal analysis. have an important bearing In his light for the presi- dsncy.
 Addressing the delegates to the democratic state convention here last night the democratic presiden- tial nominee challenged statement after statement in the opposition platform adopted last week at Syra- cuss, attacked the republican leaders of the state for alleged obstruction of his policies and declared mot . single constructive achievement that took place In the government Of this state in the last six years had re- publican support until they were VVetOo VVWu " tuO Caktus
 Defiant Attitude
 He said the attitude of the repub- licsns of tho Empire State was one Of defiance. that they unjustiy claimed credit for reforms sponsored and fought for by the democrats against . hostile legislature and that the record of progress could be con- tinued only by the election of the candidates to come out of the con- vention here.
 Wants Repudtation
 "Irreparable injury can come to the state by any other course" he ssid amid cheering by the delegates. "and earnestly hope and pray that the sixth of November win be . vindication Of progressive, demo- cratic policies and . repudiation of republican. stand-pat, reactionary policies"
 Governor Smith stopped over hero for the convention on his way home from his western campaign. He planned to be in Albany by nightfall and to rest for the remain der of the week. Tho programme for his second stumping tour is in only | tentative stage.
 Party Responsibility
 With party responsibility as his text, on which he based his Helena, Mont. speech. tho nominee last night picked at the republican plat form item by item. reviewed what he said were the facts" as to the legislative accom- plishments of his administration and declared "noth- ing would be moro regretful than to let the record have laid out before you tonight get the approval of tho. people of the biggest state in the uaien."
