ernment. We do have checks. W do have
Indirect means of giving expression to that
vote of the minority, but whi-n you get
down to the basis It Is the control of the
mejorltjr.
"Now jrou cannot have decent popular
government unless that majority can con
quer Iteelf; that I. unless that majority
exercise the self-restraint that men Willi
(treat power ought to exercle And why?
I am not going Into the various parts of the
world, but I ran call your attention If It
was not that I am In a rfcponn'hle position
with respect to foreign countries, and 1
have Rot to speak with rare I could call
your attention to a good many Inatancu
where those who are In favor of popular
government and who. If I may use the
explanation, pull the tall feathers out of
the eagle In deifying liberty and apostro
phlxing everything that we think dear, and
yet Just as eoon as they become a majority
they think .that gives them the tight to
control the minority absolutely, and If the
minority show any disposition to question
It, they send them to Jail.
Where It Is n Misnomer.
"What Is the effect of that? They say
this Is popular rule; this Is the rule of the
majority. So what does the minority do?
Why ths minority says, 'We will take to
the woods,' and they do take to the woods.
And so we have that system that alternates
between an election and a revolution. If
you call that popular government.
"Now why Is It that It works that way?
It Is because the majority and the minority
do not govern themselves and do not exer
cise that self-restraint without which popu
lar government Is absolutely Impossible.
And that Is the application of the text that
comes home to me In thinking and dealing
with these countries that are struggling for
popular government. A m'nority that Is
beaten In the election cannot stand the
defeat. It has to go to the woods. They
are not good losers and the majority are
not good winners.
"Popular government Is a most difficult
thing to establish. We have had to ham
mer It out In Ir) years of Anglo-Saxon
suffering, controversy and contest. And
now It rests In the commonsense and the
self-restramt of the American people. It
rests In the knowledge of the many that It
has got to keep within the checks of the
law and the constitution If the government
Is to be preiorved.
"And It must rest In the view of the
minority that It Is much more Important
that the government should be sustained
than that the minority should for the time
being hare control of or a voice In the
government It rests In the knowledge
of (he majority that the right of the
minority and the Individual of that mi
nority are exactly as sacred as the right
and the wills of the Individual of the
majority.
"The people rule there la no doubt about
that but they rule according to law and
under the constitution and they voluntarily
and willingly placed the constitution and
that form and method of expression upon
themselves Id order that, they might act
with deliberation and with the checks that
were sura to secure moderate, clear
headed, well thought out policies, and
therefore when the American people voted
that constitution and now that they are
maintaining It and supporting It, a I hope
they alwaya will, they are governing them
elvea and are move to be credited than
bo that taketh a city."

MEDICAL SCHOOL CHANCES
New Dean to Be Choien, at Well as
Rearranging Faculty.
FRATERNITIES RUSH FRESHMEN
Considerable Feellnar Knarendered by
Tactics of One of Them and an
Investigation May Be the
Reanlt.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 10. (Special.) Several
changes were made iecesary In the Uni
versity of Nebraska Medical college by the
resignation of Dean Ward, who went to
th University of Illinois Mils summer, and
for the last two months Chancellor Avery
has been making plsns for a reorganization
of the medical department. It Is announced
that these plans have been perfected and
that they will be ratified by the Board of
Regents at the next regular meeting, which
will occur within a month.
Acting Dean R. 11. Wolcott, who waa ap
pointed to the head position In the college
when Dean Ward left, will continue In Tls
present capacity, Hntll the close of the
school year. . It Is generally undesfiod In
university medical circles that Dr. Wolcott
will not be made permanent dean, but that
some outsider will get the position.
Under the new arrangement a department
combining courses In histology and em
bryology, formerly conducted as a sub
division of tbe department of loology, ha
been created. Dr. Wlllord has been placed
at the head of this branch.
Dr. C. W. Poynter, for the"Tst few years
an Instructor of anatomy, become chief
chemist, with an Increase In his salary of
$700. He will be forced to give up part of
his practice In the city and devote more
time to Instruction at the medical college.
Dr, Walker Is made Instructor in anatomy
to succeed Dr. Poynter. He Is a graduate
of the university and la a member of a
local medical firm.
Th new organization of thing In the
medical college has received the approval
of th individual members of the Board of
Regents and will be adopted at the first
meeting.
. Fraternities Busy Hashing.
Unusual attention has been paid to the
rushing campaign . conducted by the fra
ternities at the University of Nebraska
this week. This ha, been true of tb mem
bers of the Greek letter sooleties, who are
directly concerned, and the member of th
faculty and outsiders, because a new sys
tem Is being tried for the first time thl
fall.
For three year th faculty ha been try
ing to get some plan by which the fra
ternities can make a campaign for new
member among th freshman class each
fall without causing the first-year men to
take their attention from the regular school
work. v
Until 1906 fraternities were not governed
In their rushing rule and were allowed to
do Just aa they , liked.- A a result there
were many failures, among th freshmen.
- Home of the first-year men would' be
sought after by three, or four of the fra
ternities and the campaign for them would
be waged so earnestly that the new stu
dents would be kept from their studies for
day at a time, and often never saw the
Inside of a class room for. a week. Tb
conditions grew io, bad that Clianoellor
Andrew took a hand In the matter and
ordered that a set of regulation be made to
govern the rushing campaign.
' Tlie Ihter-fraternlty- council drew' up a
code, -which eaon' oclety promised to ob
serve. - No rushing- Was to take place
until a certain time In the fall; new man
wer to be entertained by the "frat" only
On certain days and no freshman waa to
be pledged until the Saturday before
Thanksgiving. And then any who bad
failed to moke twelve hour of univer
sity 'credit at the mid-semester examina
tions could not be asked to Join a "frat"
until the next semester, or until th de
linquent work was made up.
This system proved a hardship on many
of the fraternities,1 for It scattered th
rushing over too long a period and kept
the fraternity men under a strain. Th
rules were openly violated, too. Protests
were made ugainst the system last spring
and a new arrangement wa mad for
thl fall.
Th rushing season wa ordered to start
October 1 and extend to October 11. Dur
ing that time the fraternities were given
permission to "rush" the freshman In any
way that they wished. I
Charge of Unfairness.
Consequently, . the last few day have
been very strenuous one for the promis
ing freshmen and the Greek letter men.
Parties and dinner date and all kind
of entertainments have enlivened the so
cial Ufa of the university. Some of the
freshmen have not been permitted to eat
a' single meal by themselves. If they
have not been at one Greek letter chap
ter house they have been at another.
One society has gone In for th season
with greater display than the rest and
has rented a private house, where the
member of th "frat" have kept certain
freshmen all during the week, having
them sleep and eat there.
This ha been termed the "Phi Kappa
Pat Annex" by the other fraternities of
the school and It has been denounoed as
a violation of the spirit of the rushing
rules. Every other fraternity In school
has declared th Phi Kappa Psl men will
have to make a clear statement of what
they meant by getting thl seoond house,
An Investigation waa started by th

MIMANY TURNS NEW TRICK

make much difference. Mr. Hearst can
run under a straw hat, If necessary."
Otto T. Bannard, the republican candi
date for mayor, and John P. Mitchell, can
didate for comptroller, spoke to a large
audience tonight at th Manhattan Congre
gational church. This was the only over
Sunday political speaking.
Justice William J. Gay nor, the democratic
nominee for mayor, will make his first pub
lic appearance In the campaign tomorrow
night. He has chosen his home borough,
Brooklyn, for his opening speech, and ftiere
Is much speculation as to Just what attitude
he will take toward Tammany.
First Shot from Gayaor.
In a statement full of sting and bite, yet
devoid of invective, William J. Uaynor, the
democratic nominee for mayor of Greater
New York, fired hi flrt big projectile of
the municipal campaign tonight In an at
tack on William R. Hearst.
Early last week Mr. Hearst Issued a
statement, saying positively that he would
not run for mayor, but would support Jus
tloe Gaynor. Two days later he accepted
an Independent nomination for the office.
Surprised at thla action, Justice Gaynor
Issued a brief statement, charging Hearst
with breach of faith, and tonight he came
out with a statement and a letter purport
ing to show that Hearst had uraed him to
run for mayor nearly six month ago, "on
any ticket," and pledging hi support. To
strengthea his statement. Justice Gaynor
first made public a letter addressed to
him by Rudolph Block, who occupies an
editorial position on the Hearst paper. Un-
aer the aate or uciober , Block, while
'regretting exceedingly to be drawn Into
the affair," reviews at some length what
purport to have been th detail of meet
ing between Hearst and Gaynor early last
summer. The letter says, In part:
Shortly before Mr. Hearst left for Europe
last summer he asked me to bring you to
his home. I think this was the second or
third time you had even seen htm. He
asked you If you would not run for mayor
In the fall, and said. "I don t car what
ticket you run on, I'll support you."
Commenting on these circumstances. Jus
tice Gaynor's statement say: s
To thl statement of Mr. Block I add.
that after returning from Europe I saw
Mr. Hearst In September, aooordlng to
promise. He said that he had In no way
changed his mind and that he would sup
port men, whatever ticket I ran on or who
ever nominated me.' He reiterated thl re
peatedly and with apparent earnestness.
Call Hearst Boss.
Justice Gaynor here review th Incident
which led up to Hearst's repudiation of
him, which he describes "As the moat
painful shock I had ever experienced." and
a breach of trust such a he never en
countered before.
Meanwhile the primaries of the Inde
pendence league had been held and It waa
found that a decisive majority of the dele-
rates chosen were In my favor. There
upon Mr. Hearst would not permit the
convention to be called. No other party
boss ever went a far aa this. II Is said
that thl may be an indictable offense and
It 1 being looked Into.
After the primaries Mr. Hearst began to
cry fraud, -as usual, and that his ballot
boxes had been "stuffed." No one could
vote at the league primaries except its
et rolled members, as everyone knows, in
fact, the enrollment was a mere skeleton,
most of the districts having only a very
few on th roll and only a handful voted
at the great majority of the poll. And
yet th bold Statement of Mr. Hearst that
Charles F. Murphy, or Tammany, or some
one, stole hi primaries or slutted his
ballot boxes seems to have been gulped
down by every partisan newspaper in the
olty.
Mr. Hearst now repudiate hi league
arty, will not permit the convention to
e called, and Is having himself nominated
by petition against me. I am fully con
scious that his great estate of from A0,-
000.000 to l,000,000 gives him huge ad
vantage over me In one respect, but I am
ready to meet him before the people of
New York. I suppose we are about to
witness sjraln such a lavish use of money
by a candidate for office as was never
before witnessed In American politics, and
which If continued must in the end debase
and corrupt our politics and our system
of government. But It may be that with
all hi money and newspaper and power
the people of New York may not let him
run over me so easily as he thinks.

he admitted that he had seen Mr. Knox
and that In this "preliminary conference"
th matters t Issue had been discussed.'
He was evidently deeply concerned tbout
the situation, but refused to say a word
about it.
"Will you resume your Journey to
China?" Mr. Crane was asked.
I am under salary, ' he replied, "and
subject to orders."
Mr. Crane told his Interviews that upon
hi arrival In Washington he bad received
note from John W. Foster, formerly
secretary of state, and minister to China,
and now special adviser to the Chinese
government, and lta Amorican legation.
He declined to divulge the nature of the
communication, or of the conference.
which, he said, he had had with Mr.
Foster.
Mr. Crane said It wa his desire to con
clude his business so as to catch the
steamer Cora, sailing from Sail Fran
cisco on the 20th, upon which he has
engaged passage.
At Secretary Knox' house all Informa
tion regarding the conference with Mr.
Crane was refused, but Mr. Hoyt admitted
that there hnd been a conference.
One Similar Case.
A case similar In some of Its aspect
to that of Minister Crno occurred about
twenty yenr ago, when China objected
to the appointment , of the then United
State Senator Henry W. Blair of New
Hampshire a minister to that country.
Mr. Blair, like Mr. Crane, had reached
the Pacific coast on hi way to the orient
when his further progress wa stopped
by a dispatch from th secretary of atate,
ordering htm back to Washington. -
The episode at that time attracted a great
deal of attention In the press and In
diplomatic circles. As a senator from New
Hampshire, Mr. Blair had taken a promi
nent part In the debate leading up to
the enactment of the Chinese exclusion
law and In the course of these debates had
expressed himself In term of opposition
to Chine Immigration. HI speeches had
finally gotten over to China and that gov
ernment declared that any man who en
tertalned such sentiment toward It sub
Jects wa unwelcome as a representative at
the Chinese court. There was a dispo
sition for a time not to send another min
ister there, but finally It waa decided to
overlook China's action and to' reeogtolxe
the right of any nation to objeot to an
envoy on sucn grounds, in due oourse
another minister wa lent and the affair
passed Into history.
What On need tho Tronble.
CHICAGOOct. 10. The Chicago Reoord
Herald of September 27, contained a dla
patoh from its correspondent In Wash
Ington stating In effeot that the United
State government I preparing to take Im
portant action looking to the security of
the "open door" in China. It wa stated
In this article that the aotlon of thla gov
ernment will take the form of a protect
based upon the controversy between China
and Japan, relative to the Antung-Mukden
railroads.
It was claimed In the Record-Herald'
story that reports had been received to
the effeot that Japan has obtained con
trol, for an Indeterminate period, of mining
concessions In Southern Manchuria. Thl,
It wa stated I regarded at Washington
aa a distinct menace to the "open door,"
According to th exposition of that pollov
as given by th late Secretary of State
John Hay. .
The article went on to. declare that dur
ing the latter part of the Roosevelt administration-
note had, been exchanged
between Secretary of State Root and Baron
Takahira, Japaneae ambassador, wherein
It was agresd that Japan would tak no
aotlon, which on Its faoe menaced the
"open door" without consulting the Ameri
can State department. There waa, accord
ing to the Record-Herald story, no written
binding agreement between the two gov
ernments, but simply an understanding.
It was declared in the story that officials
of the government of th state were sur
prised that the United State had not been
consulted relative to steps which might
menace the ' open door" agreement.
In no part of this story, however, was
the name of Mr. Crane mentioned, nor did
there appear In any part of It anything
that might be construed as Intimating that
the story was connected with him In any
manner,
Before leaving Chicago for San Franoloo,
Mr. Crane wa quoted In th Chicago pa
par aa laying i
"It will be a pleasure to work lo China
for President Taft. No other man In the
world lias a wide Influence In the Paclflo
ooean and It countrle. Th people of the
