William Barne. J'-, of Albany, eh.
man of the rsw xora mate iifpuu
lican committee, cam t Waahlnirton
tonight. Hla appearanc itare rlsa to
all sorts of rumors, but the one which
received greatest credence eras that he
would take direct management of
President Taft'a candidacy In "ew York
State.
Hefora solna- to the White House
Mr. Barnes rare out a statement as
ullinr the recent speech maile at Co
lumbus. Ohio, by Colonel llooserel
larne made a point of the tact tha
his statement was Issued In advance
of any talk with the 'resident.
"I want It made clear that I nave ou
this statement before I went - to th
While louse. Mr. Barnes said. Th
burden of the statement concerns Colo
nl Itooserelt's recent speech at Coluin
bus. It follows:
"I can only say this: It hss seemed
to me that homogeneity of opinion
within the Republican party has been
threatered for a long time, and tha
a definition of fundamental principle
was. therefore, absolutely necessary In
order that the party might endure
the preservative force in the Nation's
life.
Parly Teaets Violated.
The speech of Mr. Roosevelt at Co
lumbus Is a violation of Republicanism.
When casually resd It would seem to
contain a formulation of doctrine, but
coupled as It Immediately was with
declaration of the author's candidacy
for the nomination to the Presidency, it
acquired virility, but lost tl'St dispas
sionate devotion to principle which
would have given It whatever quality
It might have possessed.
"In ether words, this exposition at
Columbus was to preface a candidacy
rather than to maintain a principle and
a candidacy which has been by its pro-
gecltor distinctly repudiated.
"This seems so clear to me that al
though It la Impossible for me to sub
scribe to the doctrine of the Columbus
speech. I would feel that If I were one
who could subscribe to that doctrine
my feet were on slippery ground.

"Regarding the situation In the State

and at the state convention to be held

at large will be chosen by a vote of a
majority of the delegates elected to the

"There Is no doubt whatsoever that
the best Judgment of the Republican

at that primary, and that that con

atleaal "Leader Leek-lag.
It developed today that the Roose
velt movement ia without a National
leader to take active charge. Those
who have consulted with Colonel
Roosevelt say that he has stated that
he cannot take charge of the move
menu Colonel Roosevelt said today
was hla Intention to spend aa much
f hla time aa possible at Oyater Bay
with occasional visits to hla editorial
offices In New Tork.
Colonel Roosevelt waa asked aa to
the truth of a report that Senator
Olson, of Montana, would be the man
t the helm. He replied the benator
would be acceptable to him and might
eke charge. lllnesa In hla family
had made it necessary. Colonel Koc.se
velt said, for the Senator to abandon
for an indefinite period thia plan.
Several other names were suggested
to the Colonel, but he said no decision
had been reached.
Attack ea Taft Dealee.
Reports published that he had made
an attack upon President Taft brought
a heated denial from Colonel Roose
velt, who said they were unequivocally
false. He also issued a statement in
which he denned the platform upon
which he will make hla fight. In which
he pointed to hla recent speeches aa
the best expressions of his opinions.
Colonel Roosevelt's visit to Harvard
today waa not entirely peaceful. Since
hla arrival In Boston last Saturday he
haa been followed by taxlcaba tilled
with reporters and photographers,
whenever hla pursuers were able to
keep trace of hla movements. The
pursuit led today to two clubs at Har
vard. Once the Colonel walked up to
a pursuing automobile, opened the door
and said that he did not wish to be
followed, as his visit to Harvard was
of a purely social nature. The Colonel
became angry.
Pursuers Refuse te Uult.
As he alighted from the motor car
at the Hasty Pudding Club, the camera
men were driven up and aimed their
machines at him. The Colonel waved
his arms In protest, but It was useless.
Again he went to the automobile and
demanded that the pursuit stop. He
was met with a polite but Arm refusal.
The Colonel turned aharply and fled
Into the clubhouse.
"Yes. he confessed Ister. "I was
angry enough to fight. My picture haa
been taken several thousand times
since I came to Boston and I haven't
even changed my hat."

AdTOrat-y of Ileoall of Judicial Ie
ciionn, Harmless if I'ttered by
Mere Anarchist, Dangerous
From Leader's Lips.
WASHINGTON, Feb. J7. Reversal of
Judicial decisions by popular vote, as
proposed by Ex-President Roosevelt In
his Columbus address last week, was
denounced In the Senate today by Sena
toi Rayuer, of Maryland, as "the most
dangerous doctrine ever brought for
ward by anyone who has the slightest
regard for the stability of our Insti
tutions and whose opinion la entitled
to any weight or respect."
Senator Rayner declared that In dis
cussing the ex-President, who again Is
a candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for 'resident, he did not speak a
a pnrtlean, because he believed the Re
publicans could nominate no man who
would be easier to defeat.
Conception "I'nfque and Original."
"What I desire to call attention to
today," said the Senator. "Is a unique
and original conception which he ad
vanced upon this occasion and which I
quote literally as follows:
" 'The decision of a state court on a
constitutional question should be sub
ject to revision by the people of the
state.
" 'If any considerable number of the
people feel that the decision Is in den
once of justice, Lhey should be given
the right by petition to bring before
the voters at some subsequent elec
t'on. special or otherwise, as might be
decided and after the fullest oppor
tunity for deliberation and debate, the
question whether or not the judge's in
terpretation of the Constitution is to be
sustained. If it Is sustained, well and
good. If not then the popular verdict
Is to be accepted aa final, the decision
ia to be treated as reversed and the
construction of the constitution defi
nitely decided subject only to action
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.'
Hostility to Courts Manifested.
Mr. President. If a proposition of
this sort had been advanced by an ord
nary agitator, or by an anarchist, no
ttentlon would be paid to it ana it
would involve no actual danger to the
Republic We must realize, however.
that this Is the utterance of a political
leader who occupies today as promt
nent a place before the public as any
one In the country.
'People who regard this merely as a
flippant and Impulsive utterance of a
candidate for public ottlce are making
a great mistake. In my Judgment, the
ex-President has been reflecting over
this proposition for years. He has
always been hostile to the decisions of
the courts whenever they conlllcted
with his own views.
During the whole of his administra
tion, he bad an Idea lingering In his
mind that it was the duty of the courts
to carry out the policy Of the execu
tive branch of the Government, and
this belief was connected with another
Idea and that was that, so far as ex
ecutive functions were concerned, he
i absolutely supreme, unlimited by
the specifications of the Instrument
that created them.
What to Do Is Problem.
"Now. what Is the present situa
tion? Mr. Roosevelt Is a candidate for
President of the United States. There
was no need of any persuasion what
ever to Induce him to enter the field.
There was no dragging of Clnclnnatus
from the plow.
"I had hoped that outbreaks like this
were over when Mr. Roosevelt ab
dicated his place a few years ago and
started upon his restful and harmless
expedition to the jungles of Africa. I
don't know what we will do with our
friend. Would It be possible. If he con
sents, to tender him to the new republic
of China. In the event of his defeat?
And I am satisfied that, even if nomi
nated, he would be easily defeated.
"I believe that there Is a large num
ber of Mr. Roosevelt's followers in this
country who would today favor vest
ing In him autocratic power. Our In
stitutions underwent a radical change
under his, administration. He Inau
gurated a new era of constitutional
thought.
"He is possessed with a mad fancy
that this is and ought to be an Ex
ecutive Government, that the powers of
the Executive ought to override those
of the legislative and Judicial branches
of the public service.
Balance Would Be Destroyed.
"By all the patronage and all th
power that he can command, he prac
tlcally would force upon the country
an interpretation of our organic law
that will level Its distinction and obli-
CHINA
SSL
Russia's dragon is tyranny;
China's, superstition. Each
is the subject of an article, the
intrinsic interest of which is
unusual.
RUSSIA
ft
'Pictures in a Chinese Temple," by
Thornton Oakley, emphasizes that side of
Chinese life which is picturesque rather
than progressive. But Harriet Monroe's
description of "The Education of Chinese
Children" shows how the picturesque is
giving way to ideas and ideals from the
western world. Her description of the
ancient methods is all the more timely
because those methods are slowly disap
pearing. Naturally a Chinese mother
graduated from Bryn Mawr has ideas
against compressing either feet or heads.
George Kennan, to whom we already owe so
much ofHvhat we know about Russia, tells of
the workings of the "mouse-trap," on of
the methods by which the police try to
throttle the enemies of the government.
Kennan quotes Dumas for his description of
a device not unknown outside Russia; but
only so great an authority on Russian affairs
as George Kennan can adequately describe
the modern "mouse-trap" of that country.
