IN his speech at Osawatomie, Kan., Roosevelt ."effectively answered
his critics, who have been asking for a definition of his policies,
pointing this request with a ready sneer because he has not in
the past concerned himself with the iniquity
of the prevailing system of tariff making that
permits the special interests to write their
own schedules. Now, it is not Roosevelt's
habit to cross a bridge before he gets there,
but nobod3 r will accuse him of reluctance or hesitation about making
ihe crossing when the time is ripe.
Those who have been asking what Roosevelt thinks about the
tariff making methods of Aldrich and the standpatters may have
their desire for knowledge gratified by reading the Osawatomie
speech, but we imagine they will not be as much pleased, as they
pretended when they asked for the information. This is what
Roosevelt said on the tariff:
With the present tariff, made by the same methods as its predecessor
and as that predecessor's predecessor, there is grave dissatisfaction. .The
people know that there are some things in it which arc not right, and
therefore they tend to suspect that there are, as I think, more numerous
things in it which are not right. They know that the system on which it
is made, the same system on which its predecessors were made, encour
ages a scramble of selfish interests, to which the all important general
interest of the public is necessarily. more or less subordinated.
There was a time when this scramble was regarded as the natural
course in tariff making, and was not resented. Now the people demand,
and rightly, that the profit of the special interests •shair be subordinated
to the general welfare in every case. It is this attitude of the people :
which must be met in dealing, with the present tariff, and with proposals
to amend the present tariff. Very little improvement, indeed, will follow
any attempt to revise the tariff by methods hitherto used^ :
By way of remedy Roosevelt proposes that the tariff shall be
revised, one schedule at a time, on the basis of information relative to
the cost of production obtained by a nonpartisan commission of
experts. In a word, he would take the tariff out of politics, the
dishonest politics that trades a monstrous and oppressive protection'
for campaign contributions, which are merely a form of bribery.
This is what Mr. Roosevelt thinks, if the standpatters want to
know. This is what Mr. Taft thinks and what the progressives of
the republican party maintain. On this, basis the fight is being
made, recognizing that the tariff in its modern development has
become a moral issue acutely touching our national life and con
science and insisting that the disguised bribery of congressmen
In this speech Mr. Roosevelt puts himself squarely on the side
of the insurgents, or the progressives, of the republican party. Mr.
Taft did the same thing in his open letter, which will make part of
the campaign book of the party congressional committee. On the
other side we find Aldrich, Joe Cannon and the petty bosses of
New York state. . • •

SENATOR CUMMINS of lowa suggests an extension of the
direct primary to the nomination of candidates for president
and vice president as a substitute for the national conventions.
It may be doubted whether the plan. is feas
ible, however undesirable this final surviving
relic of the convention system may be. There
is no machinery for taking a federal vote on
proposition in a direct way. It is possible
that the election of delegates to the national party conventions by
direct primaries held by the states would accomplish about all that
Senator Cummins desires.
The chief defect of the existing national convention system is
the inequality of representation. By the present plan the southern
states, which never cast a republican, vote at the polls, are given a
representation of something like a third of the convention, i The
thing is manifestly absurd, but long custom has made us tolerant
of the abuse.
It is the worst feature of national politics that purchasable
delegations can be sent from the south to the republican national
conventions. These delegations represent nothing but their own
pockets or their appetite for office.

But if reports are true, the old guard will not have tjie power to

Coming to a test at the primaries the machine is quite likely to
prove no stronger than a hollovv shell.. The power of such organiza
tions in New York and elsewhere has been formidable only because;
of the indifference of the people. When an issue is made that
arous.es the moral sense of the electorate the machine collapses and
people wonder what there was about it to be feared. Speaking

Theresult in Orleans county, where anti-Wadswbrth idelegates to the

tion that within the districts represented by "old guardsmen" at: the; state
'committee meeting were many assembly districts which would send pro
gressive delegates '.to. thfe; state convention, Orleans county is in the
thirty-fourth- congress district, '•; the. Wadswprth district, represented in
. the state committee b"y J. A.'Merritt. Direct primaries sentiment is strong
in the counties that make up. this district, Speaker' Wadsworth- himself
haying narrowly escaped defeat: in the. last \u25a0election because of his oppo- .
sition to primary reform: It is probable that a majority of the idelegates
from the various counties in the Wadsworth territory to the state conven
tion will be progressives. It is riot impossible- thatMr.Wadsworth will .
: control: only the delegates: from his own county, Livingston. ; \ . ;
: Similarly in other districts all -over. the. state represented by "old
guardsmen'- in the state committee counties will break away from their
control: ; Only four or five of -the. strongest; among 1 the "old guard" '

districts in the state convention. ;

will no doubt take the same course. A St. Petersburg journal
characterizes the latest Japanese move as a direct blow at the prestige
of the United States in the far east and says :
The Japanese, with a skill we would dp- well' to learn from them,
leave us only, the appearance of liberty of choke. In reality they, obtain
their ends gradually, and_ sacrifice absolutely nothing. v.-. This is bcealise
. we voluntarily enter their sphere of influence instead of - constituting
ourselves the balancing power. between Japan and the other nations. Let.
•us Korea, for example. The independence of Korea was the corner
stone of the Portsmouth treaty. It was on this ! account that the United
States and China recognized the treaty. Korean independence. was, so to .
speak,; a hew point of departure in the international law concerning, the
far east. However, in pointof fact, Japan obtained greater rights .in r
Korea than she- was by the Portsmouth treaty. . Against this
actual seizure of -'.'plenary powers" no one protested, not even the, United
Stages. Why, then, does Japan want to annex Korea? Annexation can
add nothing to her actual power. We havetoo great an opinion of the
good sense, of Japanese politics tobelieve that Japan is prompted merely
by the childish chauvinism of half civilized peoples, as'is, the case of our ,
own jingoes in the matter of -Finland. > The .more reasonable assumption
is that Japan is here acting with her wonted : fine calculation, that it is one - v
of those moves on the chessboard the meaning of which can : be '\u25a0 under

and not by itself. The annexation of Korea has a meaning for Japan only :
in connection with the feverish building{bf the Antuhg-Mukderi railroad,

. As an auxiliary, "Shall" indicates a
duty or necessity whose obligation is
derived from the person speaking, as
"you shall go;" that is, I order you to
go. In the second and third persons,
therefore, the use of this; auxiliary ex
presses a command, a threat, or a
1 promise, and if the auxiliary be empha
sized, the command or promise is made
more forcible. "Will," as an auxiliary,
on the other hand, is used to denote
futurity, dependent upon the subject of
the verb. Thus, in the first person, "I
will" denotes willingness, consent, or
promise, but when the word is empha
sized it indicates determiantqn or a
fixed purpose, as, ."I will go at all haz
ards." In the second and third persons
the idea of simple futurity is given, as
though .the speaker had" no direct
knowledge of the volition of the sub
ject i n these cases. "I shall go'" im
plies a foretelling-. of the movement of
the speaker, but has not the force of
volition implied in "I will go." '

TeJls how a British consul general saved the lives of Euro
pean babies in Seoul by exercise of. plenary power vested
in him by. his government. .
Sir Walker Hillyer
; Friend of Infants
the lives of all the European babies in Seoul. A man who was there told
me the story as an illustration of the authority with which the British gov
ernment invests its representatives abroad. It was during the Chinese-
Japanese war, and as far as getting supplies was concerned Seoul was tem
porarily off the map. One day it was discovered that the supply of foodstuffs
suitable for very young children was entirely exhausted. Jhere was not a.
can- of condensed milk .in the city and very little else that the little army or
toothless foreigners could depend upon for nourishment. Some of the children
sickened: A few of them died. Appeals were made to the American minister,
for the reason that most of the little folk were 'children of American parents.
Pie wrung his hands, and even wept, but declared that he was helpless to
render any assistance in time for it to be of any use. /.*;.'
Walter Hillyer, who was not a "sir" in those days, was British, corrsal
general at Seoul.. He learned of the situation one evening at the dub. "Jse
at once went to his office, and next morning consular clerks visited every h^*
where there' was, a baby. .They took with them circular letters authorizing
the purchase of $the following godcls or as much of them as the money
inclosed will buy.^y ~
Hillyer sent the money : and the filled out orders to Chemulpo, with a
letter to the commander of the British cruiser Archer directing him to" "pro
ceed at full speed to Chefu and there purchase the supplies enumerated on
the inclosed lists. If you can not get them at Chefu try Shanghai. A speedy
return is also imperative."
A week or so later one of the Archers steam launches towed a couple of
heavily laden barges up to Seoul. A squad of scarlet coated British marines
loaded the stuff behind a Korean ox team, and that afternoon all the babies
in Seoul enjoyed a gorge of real baby food.
