Wfflro ' He Rehabilitated Our National , Reputation. | CHECKED COURT ABUSES. ; the United Btatee Banner 1 From the Dishonor That American < Criminals Had Brought Upon It. Readjusted Consular Service. ■ It was chiefly through the Influence , and at tbe Instigation of Mr. Taft that the recent rehabilitation of our national reputation In China was accomplished by the establishment of the United States court In China. Until Mr. Taft became u paramount figure in the Mr east scandalous conditions had prevailed in Shanghai and other cities of China where the United States exercised extra territorial rights. Undesirable subjects of the United States, men and women, had degraded the American flag by using It as a cloak under which to conduct numerous nefarious enterprl-es. American sharpers, gamblers and promoters of questionable schemes had long worked in conjunction with discredited lawyers to their mutual and Illegal gain. In various instances these criminal endeavors were aided and abgfted by American consular officers, who were dismissed from the service The former practice of adjudicating all causes In which Americans were parties In consular courts gave rise to abuses. The American flag. In Shanghai particularly. I stood foy national dishonor In the eyes of other nations who hy legislation and the creating of proper courts had spared their flags the disgrace that de- ; scended upon the United States ban , . | When he was at the head of the Phil I j lpplne government in Manila Mr. Taft • by his proximity to China soon apptv

elated the seriousness of tbe condi . £ tions there and foresaw the loss <>( standing in the eyes of the Chinese t" 11 ! which we were indifferently exposing 8 ourselves by our failure to keep ■ • J check American criminals. He brougb s the matter to the attention of the stubdepartment and joined with Secret art ! Boot, Representative Edwin Denby ' 8 Michigan, a son of the former United 8 States minister to [China: Charles Den | ll by, another son, who Is now consul 1 1 general at Shanghai; Senator Spooner t | and some others in an endeavor to rem 1 ' edy conditions. He exerted his toll" 1 ; to obtain tbe passage by congress 1 , of a bill creating the United States I ' court for China. Lebbeus Redmund 1 1 j Wllfley of Missouri, who had been Mr I ' , 1 Taft's attorney general in the Philip- , pines, was named as Judge. ! Mr. Taft from the first took a deep 1 personal interest in the work of Judge - I Wilfley and his court. In a way he ' i superviseil its work and was fre pientI ! ly appealed to by Judge Wilfley for ad- , rice as to procedure and other details. I The lack of adequate laws hampered ] ! Judge Wilfley, but by proceeding in ac- . . ] cordance with tbe common Saw he quickly made the court effective With- | in a few months after tbe court was | organized Shanghai and other cities In ' i China where conditions were such as | 1 to require It were thoroughly and dras- \ ' tlcally cleaned up. Shyster American ; I lawyer* were disbarred, so that the I gar: biers, disreputable women aadotb ! t ! er offenders against the law were d<- I i privetl of legal support The reputable | 1 American lawyers in good standing j I aided Judge Wilfley. Heavy floes and I ' j terms of Imprisonment exercised a do terrent effect upon the lawbreakers. 1 ! many of whom summarily fled from ■ China before the court could bring ' them to account for their misdeeds.

In his speech before the Atner- ; - | lean association in China he paid r. j I high tribute to Judge Wilfley. sayiug in part: j "Our government was forunote in the ! ! selection as the first judge of the couri | of a gentleman who had had four years' experience in the orient as at I | torney general of the Philippines and j > 1 who went to Shanghai with an inn | mate knowledge of the method of unit |. lng In one administration tbe prima . ! pies of the common law of the United j States with the traditions and condi- j I tions of a foreign country.

Republican voters will make the ■ "peerless one" without a peer in the number of his defeats. Bryan has discovered the proper ratio between paralysis and prosperity. It la himself.

THE BRYAN PARROT. ' The Same Feathered Nuiaanoe That Screeched In 1896. In IKS, as in 1000 and J0K. the dominant voice In the Bryan campaign is the voice of the parrot. It is Just as shrill. Just as Insistent and Just as meanlnglaros as It was twelve years ago and is boqpd to pecome quite as wearisome to the public. In jg$'tbe sleti, green parrot of Bryanlsm teetered to and fro upon his comfortable swing and screeched "Free -silver! Free sliver!" That was the only phrase the bird could utter, and Its dismal iteration so exasperated the* people that they grabbed the noisy parrot from his perch and cast him Into the garttege'brap. But the plumed nuisance survived and appeared In tha campaign of 1900 with a brand new acres m. This time it was "Imperialism! Imperialism f' To the unthinking that alaxmM outcry , was momentarily terrifying, soggeet- ] lng thrones and tyrants bent on oppressing the people. But It never T | scared the sane people themselves even for a moment. They knew It . was the same old parrot singing I same old tune with merely a change of words. To every challenge to a disj cussion of real political ferues the par-, f ; rot made hut one -.reply— "Imperial- _ r ism T— and again the feathered pest " , was -torn from his perch and tossed , into the Juflt pile by the public whose ' patience he had exhausted. , With his Inability either to charm or - s fHghtpn go rudely demonstrated In two j successive trials, an ordinary parrot i would have dedicated himself to a fu- ' rare of silent meditation on the follies j of talking too much. But the Bryan ' g parrot is an extraordinary parrot, not . an ordinary one, and the campaign of i j 1908 finds him perched aloft again , i with another screed wherewith to af- , fright the timid and amuse the thoughtful. His cry this year— and Its accents , show that it haa been rehearsed with , rare patience— is, "Shall the people role?" It fits the parrofs voice to perfection, uud, though It Is as empty as empty

' his own bead, he accompanies it with an uprolllng of bis eyes that might scare people if they could forget for ■ a moment that it is only a parrot screech, after alL | The voice ol the Bryan parrot is unchanged. It is as rasping, monotonous and as lacking in the note of sincerity it was twelve years ago. The senseshriek of "Free silver!" could not i mislead the people In 1896. The alarmist scream of "Imperialism!" never disturbed their composure for a single moment In 1900. And the Bhrill. Insulting screech, "Shall the people rule?" can have no other result thau ! to provoke their % angry contempt in i 1906. Parrot politics will not do this year. Serious questions are before the people for discussion and settlement Pub lie stteutlou cannot be drawn away from them either by the witless chatter of parrots or the theatrical tricks of demagogues. This is uo more a par rot year than was 1900 or 1896. I Gifts from the hand are silver anu j gold, but the heart gives that which neither silver nor gold can buy.— I Beecber.
