An Unmistakable Sign

With the Chicago mayoralty election showing

a strong Republican victory, the effects of this

Democratic defeat have received general recog nition. Collier's Weekly, commenting on the re versal of Democratic successes, quotes the Chi

cago Herald, and advises that newspaper to keep

the editorial standing to use November 7, 1916.

The Collier editorial follows:

"Chicago two weeks ago had an election for

Mayor. The Republicans won by a plurality of 138,891. This was the greatest plurality ever polled by a mayoralty candidate in Chicago (the previous high-water mark had been 79,243).

The next day the Chicago Herald had a conspic

uously able editorial treatment of the victory.

We quote:

"It came at the end of a campaign on the Re

publican side which has rarely been equaled for

vigor and for the adroit use of every argument that lay at hand. All the powerful appeals of a

party in opposition were used with rare effectiveness. With shrewd political insight Mr. Thompson did everything in his power to give his can

didacy a national character. "And this is no doubt to be set down as the second cause of his great victory. It fused the opposition to the Democratic party as nothing else could have done. It gave coherence and a common ground to every element of political

dissatisfaction. In the common opposition to the Democrats, locally and nationally, the old line of division between Republicans and Progressives disappeared. "Then there was the "full dinner pail" argument. If Mr. Thompson's plan of campaign appealed strongly to every shade of political opposition, it appealed no less powerfully to strictly industrial dissatisfaction. There happen to be at the present time many thousands of men out of employment. To such men the 'Republican candidate drove home the argument that the success of the Republican ticket meant the probability of better times.' "Having read this account of the Chicago victory, enter for a moment the realm of supposition. Suppose the election had been not merely a local mayoralty one, but a national one for President. Suppose this editor had been treating, not a local, but a Presidential election? These words state exactly the reasons which, operating throughout the country, are making for Republican ascendancy. If Editor Keely of the Chicago Herald will keep this editorial standing in type until November 7, 1916, it is entirely conceivable that on that date he can use it again, practically word for word, to describe the election of the preceding day. Important changes may take place during the coming eighteen months, but, as things stand today, there can be no mistaking the portent of the Republican victory in Chicago."

European War

Nagging a Good Man When the grand jury in Denver exonerated Judge Lindsey, of the juvenile court, and at the same time indicted one of his accusers for criminal slander, it demonstrated that the nagging of good men sometimes leads to disaster. If there is one man in Colorado who has been made the object of more attacks, slanders and vituperation than Judge Lindsey, that person merits our sympathy. He has been hounded, accused and slandered. The grand jury, however, has exonerated him of all attacks. Perhaps the action of the grand jury will convince many per

sons in Denver that it does not pay to assail a

fearless and upright judge.

AMBITION OF JAPAN IN CHINA TO CREATE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE

Efforts of Mikado Inimical to Interests of American Policy in Land of Mongolians. BY ALBERT BUSHNELL HART, Professor of Government, Harvard University. The greatest monument that can be raised to John Hay, that model secretary of state, in his famous dispatch of September 6, 1909, proposing what at once came to be called the "open door policy" for China. The very last thing that Old China could have wished would have been an "open door," for Old China Is a chancy thing, which does not prosper with iron and steel and other hard substances. For ages the Chinese did everything they knew how, to keep all the doors shut on every European nation. Neverthe loss the Russians came creeping down from the north, and In 1840 the British smashed their way in on the south. In a few years French and Belgians and Americans and British and Russians and Japanese were insisting that the Chinese must sell tea and tuy opium, whether they wanted foreign trade or not. The big inert mass, :hat human ant-hill, th Chinese emoire, swarmed with foreigners, who quarreled and intrigued for concessions and privileges and opportunities to make money. Hay Defeats Diplomacy. In 1898 matters came to a head wh;n the Russians took Manchuria, the Japanese Port Arthur, the English Wei Hai Wei and Kowloon, the Germans Kaio Chao, and the French Hainan. The great powers of Europe seemed on the point of sub-dividing the unwilling Chinese empire into "spheres

of influence," in which each was to have a monopoly of the profits of the j trade in a particular region. That pol-. icy of greed and aggression was pul-j verized by John Hay's "open door" ;

dispatch, which was quickly accepted by the other powers. Thus the principle was adopted that the merchants of every nation should have the right to trade in every part of the Chinese empire without discrimination. For this act of friendship and common sense the Chinese nation has ever since been profoundly grateful to the United States. The principle lasted through even the terrible war of 19041905 between the Japanese and Russians in Manchuria, and no European power has seriously questioned it. The Japanese, however, are just now doing; their best to close that open

door by securing for themselves advantages of trade and residence that are flatly contrary to both the interests and recognized rights of other powers. The Chinese have long resented it that these Malay brothers, fellow Asiatics, should claim in China the privileges of Europeans. The Japanese even enjoy extra territoriality, that is, freedom from Chinese laws and courts, and the privilege to put up buildings which are practically little islands of Japan scattered within the Chinese nation. They are now going further by demanding the practical annexation of what was the German colony of Kaio Chao, the southern Manchuria; they assert rights of residence In eastern Mongolia which may lead to annexation; they want a share in the great iron mines of Hanyehping. They

even demand Japanese police in cer

tain Chinese cities, a Japanese arsenal

to furnish war material to the Chinese, and railroads built on Chinese soil but

owned by the Japanese government.

This practically would set up a Jap

anese "sphere of influence" in a large part of China. If China grants these

demands now or later, she will not only part with her sovereign rights to

govern her own territory but she will

grant a discrimination in favor of the Japanese, which will, in the long run, put most of the European and American merchants out of business. In this proceeding the United States has -a special interest, because on November 30, 1908, Secretary Root signed a "note" with Japan in which the two

countries agreed to support "by all pa cific means at their disposal the inde

pendence and integrity of China." By

that step Japan invited the United

States to consult with her any measure affecting the existence of China as a

nation.

The demands made on China would

be thought hard terms if exacted at

the end of a victorious war; and they

BY LEWIS C. KING Do you know what it is, this terrible war In Europe, of which we all read, With its horrible locks all covered with gore, Its tongue spitting forth deadly seed? Do you think.it is sensible, righteous or right, Or a thing which the nations all need ; Don't you think it is perfectly silly to fight, That this war spells the awful word greed? For us, we will cling to the safety of peace, And we're grateful and happy to say, In our situation life has a good lease, We live in the great U. S. A. Let us cherish this peace, yes, and spread it broadcast, Learn charity's lesson so grand ; And live it and teach it as long as we last, For peace be determined to stand. As far as disarmament making war cease, A great move if it's done by each one ; But for one to disarm it will not invite peace, While the others still carry the gun. The foregoing verse will be read with a frown By some who would have us disarm; They say "set example," to "lay our arms down", "Other nations will do us no harm." But remember, some nations believe in conquest, And like agitation and fuss ; They look upon weakness as cowardice at best; It would be their delight to rue us. Shall we, as a nation, then throw arms away, Permit all our interests to lag, And swallow their insults, rule us as they may? No, No ! we'll protect our great flag.

are really contrary to the interests of Japan. Notwithstanding the present weakness of China it has an enormous population of capable people; and in natural resources it is probably the richest nation in the world. If China and Japan could only act together they would decide the future of Eastern Asia. No advantage of territory or of trade can ever compensate the Japanese for the ' bitter feeling of injury which they are arousing .in the hearts of the Chinese people. In fact, they need no artificial advantages of trade with China, for they are geographically near, are similar in race, use the same characters as do the Chinese for their written language, and possess railroad connections from the southern point of Korea into the heart of China. Such a favored position can not be rivaled by any European power. Yet notwithstanding this possession of a back door to China, Japan seems to be trying to shut out the United States from the front door. The Japanese are too keen and wise a people not to see the force of the objections of the American people, and they are already moderating their demands.

HARTFORD CITY MAN ESCAPES THE KNIFE

Charles Inman Able to Go to Work After Operation Was Avoided.

Charles Inman, 424 East Chestnut street, Hartford City. Ind.. was.desperately ill with stomach trouble. He was advised to go to Fort Wayne for an operation. Then he took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and in a short time was able to go back to work. In a letter he said: "My disease started seven years ago. I had to give up and go to bed. Four doctors said they could not cure me unless I went to Fort Wayne to be operated on, and that it would cost $150 to $200. My daughter saw your advertisement and I took your treatment. In three weeks I went to work and haven't missed but one-half day since from sickness. It surely saved my life." Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist new and try it on an absolute quarantee if not satisfactory money will be returned.

The waters of Morton lake will be lowered this week while a concrete wall is constructed across part of the upper basin and the part set aside for bathing is cleaned out. Committee hopes by the concrete wall to keep a current of water flowing through the bathing part of the lake, and thus prevent the deposit of sediment which made bathing in that part of the lake unpopular last year. Ben Engelbert, 'formerly a wellknown shopman, was given police powers Saturday morning and immediately took his new place as park superintendent. He will do some of the cleanup work about the park and has been requested by the directors of the Lake and Park company to prevent the carrying away of hundreds of small fish which are now being taken from the lake. Holders of concession will sign up again this week for another year this week. Row boats probably will be put on the water by May 1, and other concessions will be opened. Yesterday swimmers made their debut in the water. The warm surface attracted them, but under the surface the water seemed to have lost little of its winter chill, according to their stories. A number of canoes were seen on the water, and many of the walkers attracted by the fine weather yesterday strolled through the park grounds.
