From the point of view of the Caucasian race, Oriental nations always do things wrong-way-round. They are always out of step in the march of events, and usually a little behind; but lately Japan has been ahead of time-again from the point of view of the Occident. She has gone through the militaristic stage, and now seems anxious to atone for past sins by an unselfishness that is so far in advance of European politics that it makes her appear out of step again. Not content with being one of the first to agree to the four...
...whole attitude toward the world and its betterment is based on an assumption that finds no least support in the Great Book of the Past? Does it not make plain that the "conservative" so far as he is consistent and lives up to his professions is fatally in the wrong? The so-called "radical" is also almost always wrong, for no one can foresee the future.

Nevertheless the Thanksgiving pardons in Illinois are to be condemned, not because they were wrong in principle, but because they followed no principle save that of political expediency. Undoubtedly it is better to have Mr. Lloyd and his friends free to move their soap-boxes from corner to corner unchecked, than to keep them under lock and key. Highly volatile gases are far more dangerous confined than when allowed plenty of room for expansion. But when the Governor of a state overrides a law and frees prisoners at the very beginning of their sentences in the face of a decision...
