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

The need in -'Oregon-iS the clearing lip of forest land, so that it can be
used for agriculture arid for \u25a0sustaining a larger population. This, is not to
say . 'that; land;-' everywhere" should be v detvuded of Urees, just for the r sake: of
fetting rid of them. But hear the railroads land should be opened, to settlersV

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

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. A few months before the graft
exposures Supervisor Pat McGushin was in his glory behind the bar of hi 3
saloon one evening and several of his customers were Joking with him about
the then unproved charges of grafting by members of the board of super
visors. "Now on the low down," said one, "tell us, Pat, have you been
getting any of. the money?"*
