It Japan takeg over Chinese interests, France, Germany, Great Britain and Russia, as well as the United States, stand a chance of losing some of the prestige now possessed in the orient. There the situation rests and each power is holding the others in check by moves and countermoves upon the internationatr chessboard, while the United States stands firm upon the open door policy.

" — e Seth Low on New YorkK"Politics. The statement recgdtly made by Seth Low of New York¥ that the repub- lican politicians in jthe FEmpire state must stop fighting Wovernor Hughes in his effort to put the rascals out of office and put honest meh' in their places is causing no little' comment. The attitude of the New York execu- tive has been admittedly antagonistic to the so-called state bossés and has, as_a consequence, been the target of vigorous opposition. None of them seems to realize the fact, indicated by the overwhelming majority at the last election, that Governor Hughes holds the confidence of the republi- cans and many demodrats of the state and that the fight being made on him is apt to be a repetifion of the foolish fight made to prevent his renomina- tion two years ago. The situation is summed up very other hostile camps which are contin- ually obstructing the efforts of Gov- ernor Hughes are combatting the only avallable man in New.

The personnel of the commission, seven in number, which embraces rep- resentatives of the various interests and professions from railroad presi- dent to farmer, including two mem- bers of the faculties of the University of Chicago and the University of Illi- nois who have made special studies of the subject, is pronounced one of the best, individually and collectively, ever assigned to such a task, We are told that not only will the commission try to establish a scientific basis on which to build up a simple and ef- fective system of taxation for Illinols, but that it is belleved its work may be accepted as a model for use in other states and thus serve as a step toward a more uniform system of tax- ation throughout the country. The law provides that ‘the commission shall make its report by next January, leaving an intervening period which, however, is regarded as too short and which will later by the legislature. The work of the Illinols tax com- mission cannot fail to be of great in- terest and also prove useful to the states in the middle west which have similar problems to meet and are sub- Ject ‘to like limitations such as beset the law-making bodles ot Illinois, and to none more than Nebragka, whose constitution, particularly with refer- ence to the question of revenue, was originally copled largely from that of Illinois. Since those constitutional re- quirements were formulated, more than a third of a century ago, the en- tire configuratiion of the country has changed by the rapid settlement of all the land, the bullding of railroads, the erection-of cities and the development of an entirely new industrial organ- 1zation, In Nebraska, as doubtless in Ili- nois, the worst feature of our exist- ing revenue law consists in its attempt to tax so-called intangible property in such a way as in fact to conmstitute double taxation if enforced, and as a consequence leading to flagrant eva- slons and gross abuses. Nor is this condition confined to the wealthier classes. A recent investigation in Lin- coln into the appraisement of estates passing through probate in compari- son with the last preceding tax return of the deceased showed that the law for the taxation of notes, bends, moneys and credits was being disre- garded, not only by those whose es- tates figured into the thousands, but also by those whose estates appraised only a few hundred dollars. Neébraska has made tremendous strides in the direction of revenue re- form, but the problem of an equitable distribution of tax burdens is. by no means solved. Any help the Illinois tax commission may give us will be thankfully received Exposition at New Orleans? With the completion of the Panama canal only a few years away, cities of the south and of the west are already talking about an exposition to com- memorate the event. It is urged that this exposition should take place, as nearly as possible, at the time of the canal’s completion. Two great cities are entering for the exposition, San Francisco and New Orleans, and the committees of the twb houses of con- gress apparently favor New Orleans. In fact, the matter has gone so far that the Crescent City recently sent a committee of twenty-five prominent citizens to Washington to confer with congress regarding plans. Louisiana now holds out an offer to bond the state to raise an amount of money equal to that which congress may ap- propriate, There are two natural harbors which will be wonderfully benefited by the opening of the Panama canal— New Orleans and San Francisco. There is one great terminal city which will be immeasurably benefited by the development of the deep waterways project—New Orleans. This latter- named city 18 the natural southern gateway city of the great internal waterways system of the country. The people of New Orleans realize the pos- sibilities of the future and are show- ing themselves equal to the occasion and to the opportunities thus pre- sented to profit by the exceptional ad- vantages as a commercial harbor which by location and nature it pos- sesses. Although not quite so pretentious as some previously held, the proposed exposition, if it eventuates, will be unique in that instead of commemo- rating past events it will celebrate the beginning of events, Democrats are trying to make be- lieve that Champ Clark was the leader of the fight on the Cannon rules com- mittee. It should be definitely under- stood that Champ Clark was only a ringer.

Chairman Mack's word that Bryan's name does not 'enter discussion at Hot Springs as a factor in presidential poli- tics In the most pregnant contribution to public interest from an authoritative source since Theodore Roosevelt announced that he would mot succeed himself. Mr. Bryan's close frlends were apprised before his departure on an extended trip abroad that he would not again be a candidate, but it remained for Mr. Mack to reduce the indefinite understanding to accepted fact. Together with the quiet tip of his retirement from the sphere of presidentlal ambition, it was glven out that Mr. Bryan left the field unreservedly open to all other aspirants, and that he would lend his support to whomsoever the party put forward in 1912. This assurance doubtless is what heartens Mr. Muck to say that the party would be found a unit in support of the man it was looking for—*'the stréng- est man for leadership.” Chairman Mack, in announcing Mr. Bryan's affacement, names no other names, but he makes (it plain enough that the Hot Springs conference has had all the avallables on the carpet, and Inferentially it will be allowed to leak out, after the conference, that democratic leadership loans toward thig or that “strongest man." Their chiolce, however, can only be tenta- tive, as it will require the verdict of the polls next fall to more fully establish the identity of the most likely aspirant, and even the fall elections may not be con- clusive In the minds of the respective followers of Harmon, Marshall, Clark, Gaynor, et al Slgnificant silence marks Chalrman democratic national platform.

A marked difference is to be noted now and then In the actions of eastern and western women returning from abroad In their dealings with custom house inspec- tors In New York. A little while ago a Long Island woman who brought in a fine collection of loaded trunks saw the in- spectors miss the contents in a shameful manner. She resented the search with all the frigid dignity Jamalca flatters affect and left the premisés and her trunks with- out fashioning her indignation Into words, The silence wasn't broken for a week, and then word came In the form of & check for double the regular duty on goods unde- clared. Last Monday a Mrs. Woolson of Helena, Mont., landed with a collection of goods valued by her at $100 and there- fore duty free. Inquisitive inspectors in- sisted on being shown and took the ba &age Into a quiet corner for a peep or two under the lids. Did Mrs. Woolson submit to the Indignity with the calmness of con- sclous rectitude? Not for a minute. She started what the rude inquisitors call a “holler” &0 loud and Indignant that it was heard by Senator Carter In Washington Then the wires were warmed up and the difficulty straightened out at the regular customs rate. Some indication of the specd with which the melting pot is at work In Greater New York s supplied in the quarterly re- port of the board of health for the period ended June 30, 1909. During the preceding three months the number of births in the city was 28,182, glving the high annual rate of 24.6 per 1,000 of the population. The number of children born to parents of American nativity was 7,408, and the num- ber of births in which the mother alone was American was 1,91 Taking the for- elgn elements In our population, it ap- pears that for every four children born to parents both of whom are natives of Au- stria, one child is born to an Austrian mother and a non-Austrian father. In other words, one out of every five Austrian wo- then in New York marrfes a native of some other country than Austria. The same ratlo for Germans is roughly one out of four; for Irish, one out of three; for Swedes, one out of three; for Russians and Poles, one of twenty-five, and for Itallans, one out of séventy-five. In other words, the two races to which Mrs. Zangwill chiefly looks for America's future In idealism and the arts are at present putting a very small quota in the melting pot. Taking the figures for New York as a whole, comments, the Evening Post, it would ap- pear that for every six women who marry their fellow countrymen one woman cuts 4cross national lines. But this rate calls for a serious modification. The one Irish- woman out of three who carries & non- Irishman by birth is very apt to marry a man of Irish descent, though of American birth. The same will hold for Germans, Scandinavians and others. The mixture of the bloods thus proceeds more slowly than the mixture of the nations.

A natlve of China had been taken from the second cabin of the Baltic to the island purely on the ground that he was a native, as was evident by the ship's manifest. Naturally the boarding inspector did not have time to take & look at the China born suspect in the hurry of the superficial inspection aboard ship.

Qutside the neeting he had two baskets of eggs arranged—but they have nothing to do with the trouble. Along toward noon, after the rush hour crowds of the morning had paused to admire his little exhibit, the butcher noticed his bantam rooster flying and jumping batlike against the window pane flapping its wings and stabbirg and scratching at everything within his reach. A glance outside dis- closed ths reason; there was a woman talking to a friend and wearing a Chan- tecler hat, decorated in perfect imitation of a small, black rooster crouched down, apparently ready to spring and sink his spurs into an enemy.

Moral Power of the Press. Dr. 8. 8. Wise in Pacific Monthly, The press is not to be a mere echo, nor even formulator of public opinion. The press ought to inform, and thus form, the public mind and the public consclence. The press is the dally teacher of the whole na- tion, men and women, young and old. The press is a people’s university that never shuts its doors and never takes a vacation.
