Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1901. i UTAH STATE JOURNAL t sns-tmt- kt A 14 GENERAL MILES AND THE PRESIDENT. General Miles wants to be a candidate on the Democratic ticket for president of the United States. While he is not likely to attain deto this ambition, there would be a kind of and election, to lightful satire in his candidacy those who know the indecent manner in which he was treated by President Roosevelt. Dear old Miles had been a soldier of the scars of honorrepublic and had received the able battle before Roosevelt was out of his nurse's arms j without a blemish on his military career he had risen to be lieutenant general of the army of the United States j and he had been Roosevelt's commanding officer when that darling child of luck was in Cuba writing insolent and insubordinate round robins to the general and the secretary of war. It is commonly known in Washington that General Miles, soldier and when grey-haire- d patriot, called at the White House after a far less indecent criticism of the administration methods than Roosevelt had perpetrated when he was lieutenant colonel the president left him standing among the waiting courtiers for a word ; and, finally, when the turn of General Miles was reached, in the presence of a score of people Roosevelt opened wide his lips and hissed, I show you my teeth, sir, I show you my teeth ! It is a pity for the sake of retribution, that the American people cannot spare a term of four years to General Miles in the White House. It would be almost worth that time to punish the upstart offensiven'ess of Mr. Roosevelt. 1 A PROTEST BUT NOT A PARTY. The Gentiles of Salt Lake who protest and ask that Utah keep the faith which she pledged and the covenant which she made at the time of statehood, are so far acting entirely within their own rights and the proprieties of the situation as that it seems amazing that criticism should be extended from any quar- I IT IS A YELLOW PERIL.

There is more latent fighting force in China than in any other country in the world. The average Chinaman is without fear of pain or death.

As indicated in these columns yesterday, a victory for the Japanese in the present Eastern conflict would probably result in a coalition between the Japanese and Chinese empires and the swift armament and military education of In the cheap theaters of the large cities.

The yel-omen officered by the Japanese and manned by the Chinese could overrun the world. A friendly correspondent calling attention o the article in these columns on this subject, war as a contracites the Chino-Japanediction of the views expressed therein. It is well known that in a brief space of time the Japanese, forty million strong, defeated the Chinese, four hundred million strong, and compelled a money and territorial settlement mika)y way of vindication and profit to the is of do. The opinion that correspondent but a type of the serious misapprehension which exists in civilized countries concerning the Chinese. At that time they had practically no army, and their vast hordes of people were not only unused to military service but were jy philosophy or religion devoted to peace. It is true that every viceroy was required to w se 0 maintain a standing army ranging from to 50,000 men, ostensibly ready for service in the field at the demand of the empire. But under the pernicious system of squeeze which rules China, the viceroys usually employed the requisite number of coolies for three days in the year, armed them with condemned guns bought from tramp traders with misfit ammunition, and exhibited them o the imperial inspectors, whose favorable report was secured by bribes. Under the discipline of any powerful and progressive suzerain as Japau would seek to be if she were victorious in her present war all these frauds would be exterminated and an illimitable army of fierce fighting men, equipped with the death dealing weapons of latest invention would be raised with which to establish the rule of the yellow man around the world. Civilization has run a cycle. It started in the East and has circled the globe until now the United States is its chief glory. Will it pass across the Pacific and establish itself anew at its starting point ? Equipment of the industrious Chinese with the modern method of industrial warfare will mean the industrial overthrow of the world ; the armament of the fearless Chinese with the improved weapons for slaughter may mean the conquering of Asia and then Europe, with only a possible pause at the ocean which separates us from the Eastern hemisphere. 10,-)0- eurrected by Rl'tJHUKKS ULASSEfl.
