"•, " * THE STRUGGLE FOR CHINESE MARKETS THE great diplomatic questions of the coming' century will be chiefly concerned with the relations of the countries front ing on the Pacific, and in this game of chess the most unex pected combinations are possible. As foreshadowed in The Call's Washington .correspondence, an understanding or even an alliance between China and the United . States is quite on the •cards. Japan seeks to dominate the commerce of the orient and :to supply Asia with manufactured goods, but the overbearing methods and bad faith of that power are bitterly resented, especially in China. The possibility of a clash between , Chinese and Japanese troops over the so called island of Kwanto is chiefly important as a symptom of Chinese feeling toward Japan. This disputed territory contains about'' l,ooo,ooo inhabitants, over whom China and Korea have both claimed sovereignty. Doubtless, the action of the rebellious Koreans has encouraged the viceroy, of Manchuria to press the Chinese claims., With that particular dispute^ the United ; States is in nowise concerned, but this country does want a -large share of the trade with China, from which Japan will shut us out if possible. .The Chinese government is disposed to friendship with • the United States, on account of this government's liberal action in remitting a large part of the Boxer indemnity. The feeling; of the Chinese masses runs .to sluggish indifference. The boycott on American goods was purely artificial and never amounted to anything important. Congressman Charles A. Towne, recently returned from a visit to the orient, takes this survey of the situation: The riddle of China — the sphinx of the- nations — is beginning to be told, and events bigger than any mind can forecast will follow the accession to full national consciousness and purpose of those 500,000,000 of mankind who have thus far borne no significant part in the making of modern civilization. Japan, whose development during the last half century has been so; notable and portentous, has a clear determination to lead in this matter.and has already resolutely set about it. It seems clear 'to* me that -'the United! States must very soon come to a conclusion whether to take a part in this work or not. In the former case we must have a policy and follow it with dignity and determination. In the latter case we ought at: once to make.the fact known. Obviously, however, nature has planned that we should concern ourselves about this subject. The, influence of the United States on the Pacific must be chiefly naval. We must maintain a fleet in these- waters capable of dealing with that of any other power. It is not in the least likely that the fleet will ever be called to action, but its being is a necessary factor in the diplomatic game that will be played for the control of markets. In a word, our influence in Pacific waters must be made worth while if we are ..to hold o*ur own with Japan in competition for Chinese trade. ROOSEVELT'S CHOICE OR HUGHES RESULTS of a polPmade in the New England states by. the Chicago Tribune are unexpected, because the political talent that centers in Washington had foreshadowed a strong Fairbanks sentiment in that region. It turns out that FFairr r banks is scarcely mentioned by the- New Englanders," while ':Taft heads the poll, with Governor Hughes a fairly good secondr ?; The; votes canvassed were those of republican** editors, congressnfeir and senators to the number of 520. The chief significance ~oi the vote seems to lie in the growing strength of Governor HughesT It is a question whether Taft's popularity has not touched its highest pointy In f this New England ballot Hughes" was the second choice of nearly all the Taft voters. This feeling that Taft's boom has its highest point may be the inspiration of the remarkable move made by Con gressman Burton of Ohio ' undertaking to ' run ,fqr#maybr of .Cleveland against the redoubtable Tom Johnson— -"3 cent" John son — who has hitherto been invincible in that city.' If Burton should, succeed in defeating Johnson he .would at once become | a figure of national importance. His appearance ' in the Gleve- ! land fight seems to indicate that he is Roosevelt's second string for the nprninp.tion. , Taft has aroused antagonisms in Ohio. Burr ton has notfobne so to any : serious extent. He could not possibly be elected mayor in Cleveland without the help of Foraker's fnendsi His v place in congress is more congenial, but it;has. not Tthe advert tising value of the Cleveland mayoralty, should that be won by defeating a -man of Johnson's importance. .There is little 'doubt that Burton is acting under • instructions from Oyster bay, with the design . of throwing to him the Taft strength in next year's convention, should there be signs of a break to Hughes. Thus the fight \seerris to line up" between- Roosevelt's chqice and Hughes. -In.'the.last resort and the others failing, Roosevelt's choice may be Roosevelt. It was significant news that : came /over the wires on- Sunday night that a continuance of- theVassaults "on him by financial interests displeased with his policies might com pel Roosevelt' to' become once more a candidate. v . MR. HARRIMAN'S APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED MR. HARRIMAN'S apology, is /not accepted, by ; Oregon. Indeed, tlie web footers suspect that Vthe .apology ;'/was;.tan insult, thinly disguised. Thus the Oregohian: If Harrimanhad his way he would make a reserve out of -the whole of Oregon ; in fact, he counts it *his reserve now, and will , not -build new railroads in it until heshall be forced!to:do so byiVinvaders." •\ . . V » Too many persons are I reserving- the -.timber 'of Oregon for \u25a0. their, own j •chemes of, enrichment.. This state is. plastered f rom one/ end Jo the other {.with timber speculators in' syndicates and as individuals. All pretend to be EDITORIAL PAGE saving forj the nation a wo.od supply. ..The truth is, they are keeping out \ settlement and maintaining a wilderness in order at some future day to gratify their lust; for: wealth.

But hear the railroads land should be opened, to settlersV uch land is contained in the railroad grants -held by Harrimah in Oregon. 1 Back- from the railroads it will be well enough to keep, the timber for future generations.-.'- \u25a0{.; ,• \u25a0 • ' \u25a0' -7- '\u25a0'\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0". -\u25a0 : : V: \u25a0-.•'\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 .* i- '-' :: '-'" Possibly it is not quite as bad as that. , If Harriman's'bound-, less ambition \u25a0 could convert all Oregon \irito a timber : and /game preserve, as the Oregqnian suggestsi^he might : as well tie up ... his railroads in*' that state. The Oregonian's objection to - Mr r , Harfi-* man's policy is that he is. maintaining^ a •forest reserve in, the wrong place. "The wise policy of the" national government," it says, "has established forest; reserves, but near -the railroads land should be opened to settlers." The conclusion !:'; appears .to be that, if one builds a railroad through a national forest; reserve it should at once be thrown open to settlement, presumably by the timber thieves. \u0084;; V The question is not so easily settled. If the national policy to save the forests is wise— and we believe .it is—is not Mr. Har riman likewise a public benefactor, although his motives "are sordid ? Happy the community -whose interests are "one with Mr. Harriman's. . /He - saved the Imperial valley from \u25a0 drowning, and it was avery heroic rescue; moreover. The moral for a struggling .community is, Grow up with Mr." Harriman by keeping your hand in his pocket.

MThe SEPTEMBER 17, 1907 THE INSIDER .Tells of the trials of Father Wallis oi.the N .little Church of Sl Mary the Virgin in Union street and of strange history of parish %;•'\u25a0'\u25a0 *r *rh A TT^ATHER WILLIS of "the little Church ; piray Car ynasea . - P of St. Mary the Virgin in Union street Around the Church *f- # is a chara cter. A few Sundays ago, while officiating at .the : altar, he became conscious that the congregation was observing something . back of him which he could not see. As he never minces matters or wastes words, he turned abruptly around in time to behold one; of the vestrymen djasing "a small and attenuated stray cat round and round- the chancel rail in ineffectual efforts to induce it to leave. Father Wallis' brow darkened. "Put that cat down," he thundered; then turning back^to his interrupted duties, he added as an afterthought, "I detest cats." The next Sunday the congregation was amused to see a. goat ambling peace fully up' the "center aisle. The' rector saw it, too. "How did that goat batt in here?"/ tie demanded wrathfully. the collection that day was unusually light and the pastor informed his 'flock that they put "only the price of a bad cigar in the plate." Father Wallis really lives in the church, as he has built a tiny addition at one side and can enter the edifice at his will, lie is very critical concern ing matfers musical and one Sunday when the choir singing was unusually poor he said: "We'll stop this right now: You ,smg that hymn over again and ; singit better," 'which they proceeded to do, Father Wallis marching up and down the aisles and beating time. D 4 C*' ; The church over which Father Wallis pre- HasiOT Starved in sJdes has had a str £ nge sometimes turbu \u25a0'_ Church Basement lent history. The Puseyites who first occu pied it had formerly held their services in a barn. Then Mrs. F. M. Pixley deeded them the Union street lot, upon which the tiny church was built. She Intended to leave the Puseyites $10,000, but after a difference of opinion with orj£ of the pastors this provision was cut out of her will. Services must be conducted- in. the church, otherwise the lot reverts to the Pixley estate. A congregation has been held togetherfor 17 years under various pastors. The first of these was ; an Englishman named* Bolton, who, one Sunday startled his- congregation by announcing his conversion to the Roman Catholic church. .Following him came pastors named Innes, Clark, Parrish and the incumbent, Father., Wallis. Parrish * came out from England with ; the express intention of building up the church or of dying in the attempt. He ; did build it up from a "congregation of six to the respectable number of 80. Then tie received'a call to the Church of the Advent. Matters did not go well with him there and one morning the announcement appeared in .the papers that he was' living in a cellar under the church and that he was literally starving. Tons of supplies poured into the cellar, but .Parrish shortly .afterward went to Sausalito, where he endeavored to found a monastery. He succeeded in gaming one convert and, becoming discouraged, retired to New York to a famous monastery. _--..„., The old saw about honor anong thieves did jncUUShin Hints at not apply to the late unlamented board of Guilt supervisors.
