The Crjme Incident
The request made by Secretary of
State Knox upon Mr. Crane for his
resignation as minister to China will
doubtless be promptly complied with,
If the resignation Is not already In
hand.
The relinquishment by Mr. Crane of
the Peking post will doubtless re
move a source of irritation between
our government and the governments
of China and Japan, and give us an
other opportunity to send a diplomatic
representative to that Important sta
tion with promise of unhampered use
fulness.
Whether the disclosures made
by
Mr. ' Crane in his unfortunate Inter
views were sufficiently'' serious to re
quire his recall would naturally have
to be determined by Secretary Knox,
who has been charged by the president
with the sole responsibility of the con
duct of our foreign affairs, and the
secretary has evidently concluded that
this Indiscretion called for this sum
niary action to reassure the orientals
who had been wrought up over it.
The Crane incident is one of those un
happy episodes which occasionally
arise over the attempt to transform
successful business men unlearned in
politics, into international diplomatists
over night. In theory the man who
can achieve commercial victories, un
der stress of active competition, ought
to have cultivated these very quali
ties of conduct and repression indis
pensable to successful diplomacy. But
though a man may win industrial dis
tinction in spite of, or because of, an
assertive manner and free indulgence
of speech, the accepted type of man
to guard international interests is one
who knows when to keep silent, or,
if he must talk, possesses the engag
ing art of saying little In many words.
When Mr. Crane was first called
back to Washington it was given out
that the purpose was merely to re
ceive additional instructions regarding
the problems confronting us in the far
east, but it" speedily transpired that
the real reason was to see whether he
had any adequate explanation for pub
licly divulging views purporting to
outline the intentions of our govern
ment with reference to certain fea
tures of recently negotiated Manchu
rlan agreements between China and
Japan. Mr. Crane occupies a most
unfortunate position and is entitled to
public sympathy. Where our friendly
relations with' other tountrlea are at
stake, however, personal considera
tions do not weigh as heavily as they
otherwise would. It Is certainly bet
ter for him to retire now than to
make the long journey to his distant
post of duty only to find himself un
acceptable or his mission Impossible of
fulfillment.
Canadian Naval Plans.
That advocates of a Canadian navy
have been conducting ' a thorough and
resourceful campaign is shown by the
announcement that one of the greatest
individual shipbuilders in the world,
with vast yards at Belfast, Ireland, Is
to establish itself at a Canadian port.
It is evident that this move would
never have been undertaken had not
the Dominion government given assur
ance of naval construction to the firm
In question, and the indications at Ot
tawa are that Parliament is to be
urged at its next session to start the
Canadian navy off with a preliminary
appropriation of $20,000,000.
This ambitious project of our neigh
bor need arouse no apprehension
among timid New Englanders or along
the Pacific coast. Canada Is too
greatly Interested in seducing Ameri
can tourists into its summer lands and
American settlers into its agricultural
territory to waste any time In foolish
dreams of naval competition with the
United States. She has always the
British navy at her back, and she is
merely desirous of augmenting that
navy as far as "her resources will per
mit. It is largely a case of "helping
mother." Canada Is intensely loyal to.
the British government, and realizes
that a few modern warships flying the
British flag under Canadian auspices,
in both the Atlantic and the Pacific,
will have a standing moral effect and
be a ready asset in time of need.
The Dominion government also has
an eye to the finishing of the Panama
canal, when a navy on Canadian
shores could be used as a valuable
auxiliary to get quickly from ocean to
ocean to aid In looking after Great
Britain's interests, which give promise
of becoming too burdensome to the
mother country unless her children
give her practical aid. Canada feels
that she has outgrown her depend
ence and is proud to show the world
her independent value as a loyal and
helpful colony.
State Industrial Insurance.
Wisconsin's determination to estab
lish a system of Industrial insurance
may be regarded as blaxlng the way
In the United States for such protec
tion as the state can reasonably guar
antee to victims of accidents that oc
cur In the discharge of duty. As far
as the legislative committee at work
on the plan has proceeded. It Is evi
dent that the legislation will take ths
form of a modification of the aysteia
already In successful tperatlon !n Ger
many, providing for weekly indemnity
to employes incapacitated and death
benefits to widows and orphans of
men-killed while at work. This goes
beyond the enactment of a mere em
ployers' liability law, under which vic
tims of accident frequently are barred
from recovering damages because of
their own negligence, or are Ilk sly to
lose permanent employment If they
contest an employer' estimate of their
claim. Under such a law as proposed
any employe disabled by. accident, or
his heirs in case death resulted, would
be paid a stipulated sum without con
flict.
une or tne difficulties or the pro
posed system Is the fixing of a scale of
benefit rates, which will tax the ex
perlonce and Judgment of the Invest!
gators, who are calling to their aid
all the expert assistance available
The maintenance of the state insur
ance fund also is bound to be a mat'
ter of perplexity, whether to tax the
costs upon the whole citizenship, upon
employers alone or to tax employers
and employes. It Is argued that if the
employe Is required to contribute
jointly to the fund he will take
greater pains to safeguard himself
and his fellow workers, but a state In
surance proposition that suggests a
levy upon the Insured is sure to arouse
instant hostility among the working
men, who are naturally loyal, whether
Insured or uninsured, to the instinct
of belf-preservatlon.
Wisconsin legislators have taken up
a knotty problem, but It Is evident
that they will produce a bill that
promises well for Injured working
men and their heirs. Other states will
watch the result with keen Interest,
in the possibility of adopting similar
legislation.
- A Woman in Congress.
Newspapers, both east and west,
have been discussing the announce
ment, later denied, that Ruth Bryan
Leavltt, daugh'ter of William J. Bryan,
was to stand for the democratic nomi
nation for congress in Colorado. Some
of them have treated the proposition
In a jocular vein, while others have
taken it up seriously, delving into the
constitution to ascertain whether there
Is any bar to a woman holding a seat
in the national house of representa
tives. Even the denial that she will
be a candidate, however, Is coupled
with the assertion of assurance by
Colorado politicians that Mrs. Leavltt
might be elected with her father's aid,
but that there Is no possibility of any
other woman being sent to congress
from that state.
Several features of the proposal to
run Mr. Bryan's daughter for congress
in Colorado seem to have been entirely
overlooked. It goes without saying
that Mrs. Leavltt would not be men
tioned for such a place were she not
her father's daughter, but aside from
that Mr. and Mrs. Bryan have just cel
ebrated their silver wedding anniver
sary, and Mrs. Leavltt Is certainly not
much more than 24 years old, and still
below the age which the constitution
fixes for members of congress. Even
though she will have attained the legal
age by the time the next congress con
venes, she has never had any experi
ence in public life, or politics, aside
from being an Interested spectator In
her father's campaigns.
In this particular case a still more
serious obstacle stands In the way of
projecting a woman Into congress.
While Mrs. Leavltt made her residence
In Denver for some time previa is to
the convention held there last year,
she removed to Nebraska Immediately
thereafter and established a legal resi
dence here, taking oath to that fact in
court in order to maintain an action
at law, and there Is nothing anywhere
to indicate that she has renounced her
citizenship of Nebraska and resumed
a residence In Colorado. If she were
really wanting to run for congress she
should seek the democratic nomination
In the First Nebraska district, where,
no doubt, the prestige and influence of
her father would be at least as potent
in her behalf as it would be in Colo
rado. So far as the ability of a woman
to shine in congress goes, it would
make no difference whether her con
stituents were located in one state or
another.
In view of these conditions the
newspapers that have been discussing
the subject so assiduously may as well
take the statement of Mrs. Leavltt that
she will not be a candidate as final and
decisive.
Missouri has undertaken to exclude
from that state life insurance com
panies paying more than $50,000 sal
ary to any official. If such a rule
were general among the states, fancy
salaries would be reduced, a result
which was expected to follow the life
Insurance agitation of recent years
As a matter of record only three com
panies now pay a salary of more than
$50,000 to their presidents; and the
fact that two of these are industrial
companies operating among wage
earners Is particularly offensive. Sal
aries of $12,000 to $26,000 now pre
vail among many sterling companies
and $90,000 for an industrial com
pany's president looks indefensible.
The democratic candidates (In Nebraska)
stand squarely on a nonpartisan platform.

belong could construe their election as a

Beatrice Express: Why the democratic
governor should have chosen the Lincoln
8tar as one of the two papers to publish
th list of delinquent corporations In the
state has excited some curiosity. Why a
professed republican paper ahould have
been given the patronage Instead of one
of several long steadfast democratic or
gans, haa attracted some attention from
Inquisitive minds. Th Star had lately
become so powerfully "progressive'- and
threateningly Inharmonious with the-. -national
administration that the governor
may have concluded that a little substan
tial encouragement might gain support
for 1 democracy from that paper. Long
standing democratic papers are already
solid for democracy. They don't need en
couragement. Exeter News;, When the supreme court
of the atate was enlarged by the adoption
of a constitutional amendment a year ago,
giving Governor Sheldon the power to ap
point four additional Judges of the court,
one of the Judgeships, aa a matter of fair
ness to democratic electors who had sup
ported the proposedl amendment, was of
fered to Judge Sullivan by George L.
Sheldon, the republican governor. Judge
Sullivan qualified, but resigned on the first
day, thus refusing a seat on the supreme
bench from any source that savored of
republican authority; and shortly after
ward accepted an appointment to the same
court from the democratlo governor, A. C.
Shallenberger, when the abortive attempt
was made by democratlo politicians led
by Senator Ransom, the Omaha stock
yards attorney, to conteat through legis
lative chicanery the appointments made by
Governor Sheldon tk the supreme bench.
In view of these facts, which constitute
the plain record aa It stands today. It ill
becomes the democratic managers to plead
for republican votes for Judge Sullivan
and the republican voter who "scratches"
his ticket to the advantage of the demo
cratic candidate can only do so in utter
forgetfulnes of the fact that Judge Sulli
van repudiated an opportunity for a place
on the supreme bench because It came
from the hands of a republican governor
George L. Sheldon.

that the weeds are growing all over the

though they have all the comforts and
luxuries of life, nothing Is of any worth tu
them because their husbands are too husv

PERSONAL NOTES.
The polar controversy Is now warming
the cosy corners of Inside pages.
An Indiana man is su)ng for divorce be

by blowing cigarette smoke In his face.

late Governor Johnson, Is the first re

The National Munlolpal league has es
tablished an annual prize of $100' to be
called the William H. Baldwin prize, to
be given to the author of the best emmy on
the subject conneoted with municipal gov
ernment. Autos are credited with power to climb a
tree. Rarely do they hang a Joy rider on a
limb. A record Instance comes from New
York, where the police found one of four
speed manlaca hanging unconacloua over a
limb where the busted machine deftly
pitched him.
Mrs. Katherlne Scott, wife of the Brit
ish captain who will seek th South pole,
is a talented woman sculptor. She will
go with her husband to New Zealand, the
last civilized spot at which the Scott expe
dition will touch befor striking into the
ice fields for the pole. Mrs. Scott has
medals for exhibits both from Paris and
London.
A member of the George family in New
Jersey, ona John T. George, has progressed
from poverty to wealth, under the trust
system. Until June next, th trust which
gobbled up the business he was connected
with must pay to him a weekly salary at
the rata of 110,000 per annum for doing
work which command $20 a week In th
open market. In spite of the fact that un
improved land Is not sufficiently taxed
George prospers.
The picturesque and luminous descrip
tions given by Dr. Cook of the golden vis
Ions which haunted his weary sleeps on
the way to the pole have become realities
today. The New York Herald paid him
$25,000 for his story. Lecture receipts run
up into the thousands. In eight cities vis
ited so far the crowd to hear- him taxed
the capacity of the lecture halls and packed
the tills of the boxofflce. His long diet

New York Sun.
A hundred year from October 4, 1909,
New. York will probably celebrate the first
ascent of the Hudson in an aeroplane,
and the name of the daring navigator, we
may suppose, will be linked with the name
of the captain of the Half Moon. The
Hudson - Fulton - Wright celebration will
doubtless be a stupendous thing, and no
man can calculate the number of millions
of people who will be entertained by the
municipality of 2009.
