Warns Democrats of
Impending Danger
in Orient.
By ERNEST ELI ROESER.
Special Ccrreepondent of Hearat Nows
Service.
DENVER, Colo., July &—Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, erstwhile
hero, and now on the threshold of
statesmanship, went before the Demo
cratic committee on resolutions and
painted a picture as he saw It The
members of the committee went with
him Into the future; they were fasci
nated by his prophecies and when he
finished they sighed Involuntarily—Ilka
the audience of a theater does on ths
reading of a tense drama situation.
Hobson painted the picture of war.
A yellow man, powerful, grinning
with confidence, with blood of conquest
still dripping wet. lips tljln and drawn
with cruelty and eyes like burning
coals with the territory greed that
glowed within them, was ths allegori
cal representation Hobson displayed to
Democracy.
The figure of war was Japan,
creator justified Its place In a political
convention by the fact that the next
party In power, according to his visions,
must cope with the ravages of this yel
low giant.
Gave Hobson Much Time.
That the platform builders of the
Democratic party attached Importance
to the evil prophecies to which they
listened, and that they believed the
future of Democracy depended upon
what action should follow the warning
Hobson uttered, was evidenced by the
fact that they gave to him more time
for boosting bis plank, providing for
coast defenses and more battleships,
than was allotted to the men who
pleaded for the provision In the plat
form for Improvement of the rivers and
harbors of the country. /
Hobson told the committee on reso
lutions that war Is not alone Inevitable,
but It Is now Imminent. The party In
power Is responsible for the present
condition of the coast defenses, but that
will not relieve the party Incumbent In
war time from responsibility for the
outcome.
"The lack of preparation entails re
taliation." said Captain Hobson. “It Is
not unlikely that war will come before
the next Democratic national conven
tion Is held, and It Is more than likely
that our peirty will be In power when
that war comes. That war, If It finds
us without preparation, will be the
ground upon which the Democratic par.
ty will be held In power for a hundred
years.”
He Warns Country.
Hobaon has no use for tho yfcllow
man. He said Japan had a million and
a half men ready at the present time
to turn Into the United States by way
‘ of the Pacific coast. Once In here,
' he thinks, we would have a merry time
driving them out—In fact, he believes
we could not do It.
"Conquest'Is uppermost In the minds
of the Japanese people," he says. “They
have ships; they have men; enough
money for a two years’ campaign with,
out making new loans; their spies have
been captured with documents upon
their persons In the Philippines; they
are now active In promoting Insur
rection In the Philippines and In
Hawaii. They believe that because the
current which washes the shores of
Japan also washes the Pacific coast,
that part of this country Is theirs by
natural Tight. There are 85,000 trained
Japanese soldiers In this country paid
by the emperor of Japan. Their clubs
ere their barracks and the shooting gal.
lerles they maintain for practice are
their gymnasiums.
According to the facts—and Hobson
says he has the evidence to justify his
every utterance—the Japanese are now
In a position to give us a first-rate
drubbing, and the only thing that saved
us during ths California school squab
ble was that we ate the dust and dined
on humiliation.
