The radical movement is new te Japan
and It lit of sinnll dimensions, bur its peculiar
Intensity makes up for the narrowness of its
scope. Ifarn has been accused by agitators
of belns the inspiration of a policy of mili
tary expansion which lias put great burdens
of taxes and ether hardships en the Japa

The Premier was. of course, no mere than
sJlA executive of a policy approved by the
Government, tiie army and the well-to-de
' element genernlh He was nn entremely
able man and far mere svmn'ithptfe te the
needs of the people than most i Idej states

Japanese cities have been organized as pro pre
tests against costs of living, which are out
of proportion te the wages paid in nmnv of
the lntger industries And the Japanese
leaders of these demonstrations hnve ,ij.

PARTISAN RESPONSIBILITIES
IN AM democracy apathy of the minority
paily is a distinct inde of serious polit pelit
0 nl ilecay
The only American President v he ever
profoundly mistrusted the gcncrnl principle
of partisanship in a republic was the first
of the line. And before his exit from of
fice even Washington was fervently a Fed
eralist, convinced that the faction in which
events hnd placed him was alone capable of
guiding the national destinies.
Such devoted simplicity of belief can be
called narrow. Frem the standpoint of
abstract logic It Is perhaps indefensible.
Hut republics are net conducted en a basis
of syllogisms. Like the drama, democracies
nrc iipte wither without a sturdy conflict
of wills, and It Is a demonstrable fact the
clash of evenly balanced parties Is a potent
safe-guard against abuse of the powers of
repi esentatl ve gev eminent
Fer this reason, anil entirely apart from
the merits or demerits of the policies which
the two great parties indorse, there is a
sign et returning political health in the
news of a change in the chairmanship of the
Deinee-ratic- National Committee.
Since the presidential election one year
age last Tuesday, the Democratic Party has
presented a dull and llaci id spe, tacle. ' Net
only has it lacked leadership, but much
confusion concerning principles has pre
vailed The chairmanship of (ieeige- White, suc
cessor te the able and energetic Hemer S.
('tiinniings, has been uninspiring for ether
reasons than its failuie te crown an election
with victory. Mr. White has been pre
siding dismally ever n seem- of wteckage.

gressman, who has just been elevated te

group out of eihee te prod and criticize aud
of the oigunlatien in power te construct

Ii is by political performance of precisely
this chaiacter that the Republic thrives
The effect if an uggresive minority is al
most i-eitain ie be tonic. The public Is
infalliblv the gainer when the partisan
rlvuiiy is keen The closer the parties aie
mulched, the mere scrupulously and intel

Mr. Hull faces a ditheult task. It is
altogether tee earlv for Republicans te fear
for tbeit possessions The present control

citizens and dread of any Imminent change
Is unjustitk'd.
Nene the less tbe opposition piutv is in
