VICTIM OF FAKIRs.

The official investigation of the
reported atrocities committed by
Japanese soldiers at the fall of Port
Arthur shows that the Government
of Japan has been the victim of a
taking newspaper correspondent.
Coming at the present time, it has
seemed possible that the Japanese
Government might lose it's pres
tige as a civilized nation, which it
has struggled 30 long and arduously
to obtain. This was particularly
true in the United States, where
the reports were given the greatest
publicity.
With all its blessings, the sharp
newspaper competition of the past
twenty years has brought into
being a curse that is daily crop
ping out from some corner of the
globe-the newspaper fakir. There
exists a class of journals which, by
dint of catering to the morbid
tastes of certain population, have
attained circulation and influence
which is a recognized power. While
surrounding their editorial pages
by warm, pious glow, they open
their first pages and extensive head
lines to reading matter that has
not a shade of a foundation for
truth matter which too often COM
mits personal injury, and among
nations-as in the case of Japan
tends to undo the labor of years.
Newspapers will give up columns
of their space to allow some hair
Drained, imaginative correspond
ent pour a blood-curdling or spicy
story, as the case may be, into the
ears of its $4,000 or 100000 readers.
Possibly, in the next issue in some
out-of-the-way corner of the sheet,
the reader may find a stickful of
reading matter, in which it is
stated that the representative of
the paper had been misled, Or
some other lame excuse made. The
fact, however, remains that col
umns of the most religious and
penitent editorial retraction could
not allay the harm done by the
nicely worded story that caught
the fancy and was read, lies and
all, by the majority Of the people
in whose hands the ~per fell.
Not long since young penny-a-
liner brought into the Office of a
leading Eastern daily a very read
able story of an interview with
criminal, who was under the strict
est watch to prevent any COM
munication Whatsoever with the
outside world. The story neces-
sarily implicated the honor of sew

try contrary to law no one
will deny and most people
believe that a large portion of
it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er in their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out. Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand it is
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports in the
Hawaiian Islands. If the
sands on the beach, of the
small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these 'long
rakish crafts" what a yelping
there would be. There might
be a check put on this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned above. A request
of this character would be
honored without a question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have a set
back. If, in the opinion Of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree. as
though extraordinary means
should be take.l 30 prevent its
importation. What's the matter
with organizing a revenue
marine service and have a cut
ter that could do patrol work?
We are now handling the
celebrated Victor" safe made
in Cincinnati and used by
three-fourths of the postmas-
tiers in the United States. 1t
must be a good thing when
Uncle Sam adopts it. We
have them in small sizes and
have larger ones on the way.
They are not "just as good"
as some other makes-they're
a trifie better. They are well
finished and strong; having
double doors they are not easy
of access to persons who have
no business with the contents.
The price is about right.
You will find a hanging
lamp useful at all times even
when you have electric lights
in your dwelling. You will
also find after you have exam
ined lamps in every other es-
Enlistment that ours are just
little mite better and a great
deal cheaper. They have the
B. & H. burner with the
patent arrangement that obvi-
ates the necessity of taking off
the chimney when you light
the wick. The decorations
are elegant, and the material
holding the founts as good as
can be made. We have a
very nice assortment of Ban
quet lamps that are much
sought after by persons who
want something elegant for
the parlor or dining room.
The name doesn't signify any
thing; they give just as good
light in the parlor or bedroom
as they do in a banquet hall
try one of them for any pur-
pose and you will be surprised |
with your purchase.
