DECLARATION OF War.
Popular Opinion in Athens De-
fnands Such a Step.
HAVE A GRIEVANCE.

LONDON, March Unpopular opinion
in Greece, says the Times correspond
ent at Athens, imperatively demands
an early declaration Of war with Tur-
key. The idea is that Europe would
then be compelled to adopt a neutral
attitude. 1t is argued that the Greek
fleet could conquer the islands in the
Aegaean, including Samos, while the
Greek army, assisted by insurgent
bands, could rapidly overrun Mace
dOnia
1t is suggested that as the conditions
in Crete do not give a sufficient pre-
text for a declaration of war, a more
valid excuse can be found in the re
tusa1 of Turkey to cOncede to Greece
the territory assigned 10 her at the
Berlin conference.
1t must be admitted, says the Times
correspondent, that Greece has legiti-
mate grounds of complaint against the
great powers and Turkey, but it is
thought by good judges of Greek policy
that If the boundary fixed by the con-
ference were conceded Greece would
willingly abandon her pretensions in
Crete. At present, however, the powers
do not seem in a mood to negotiate.
CONSTANTINOPLE March 18.-Four
torpedo boats and four torpedo DE-
stroyers have started to pass the Oar

The Imperial Ottoman bank advanced

quired by the porte for military ex-
penses. The misery Of the Turkish
troops Is intense Their wages have
not been paid for the last nine months
and many officers are selling their
arms and uniforms to get food.
Acting on the advice of the Russian
ambassador at Constantinople. who
had asked that the Russian fleet
should be kept in readiness to reinforce
the Turkish fleet in the event of a
Greek naval demonstration, the i'm
per1al government has ordered the

Beyrout. March 18.-A great sensa-

ment IS the sign that the palace policy
or the sultan is to be continued.

JApS IN MEXICO.

JApS IN MEXICO.
The recent refusal of the Hawaiian
government to allow several ship loads
of Japanese immigrants to land on the
Islands under the control of that gov
eminent, has caused a great deal of
com .nent throughout the land. The
fact that the United States has as
serted that any overt act against Ha-
waii on the part of other governments
would be.deemed as unfriendly to the
United. States has made the Hawaiian
refusal all the more delicate.
It appears that the Japs on the
Islands already outnumber the popu-
]ation of the otherss Nations, except the
native born Hawaiians. They are a
thrifty people, anxious to see their
flag floating over their land, mingle in
I politics a great deal, and we have no
! doubt that the intention of the Jap
: anese government in attempting to
: effect lanGing::of::its; subjects on the
! Islands, wasato ultimately annex Ha-
: waii to Japan.
: Just at this time the Japanese are
= migratory people. The immense in
8 crease in their.population shows them
9 to be prolific, and this.fact has given
: them the smigratory habits. Japan
. to-day is too thickly settled, and if
the industrious people of Shintoism
can reduce their numbers by migrat-
! ing to rich country where opportuni-
ties await them and where there is
r scarcely no population, the migratory
thousands, as we'll as those who re-
main on the mother bosom, are the
better off.
But with the exclusion from Hawaii
where is the feld-the vacant field l.
, for this prolific people. Not here in
the United States, where white pop
4 ulation objects to them on the same
ground as it does the Chinese. No,
they cannot come here and be allowed
to drive out white labor. Mexico
seems to be their future landing place.
In Mexico there are vast fields waiting
for the tiller of the soil, waiting for
the growth of the fig, the olive, the
!. orange, and other citrus fruits, for
l coffee, tea and other plants of the
tropical zone. In the land of the AZ
tees the Japanese will find the popu-
lation indolent, content with enough
to eat and drink and the bull-fght,
while their vast domains lies idle and
uncultivated and where millions
should be produced yearly from the
! soil.
Already has the migration com
y menced. A colony of Japanese has
/ landed near the isthmus of Tehuante-
: pee, and if this colony finds the soil of
Mexico adaptable to the growth of
the products peculiar to the Japs there
will be migration that is likely to
completely Japanese Mexico in the
years to come. To-day the Japanese
s are welcomed by the insouciant Mexi-
cans, but what of the future? Time
: alone can tell. In the State of CHA
pas the japanese colony has pur-
chased 100000 acres and other bodies
of land can be purchased at any time
and these lands will be used for the
raising of sugar, tobacco, coffee, cot
ton, etc. Railroad facilities will he
given them and;other public improve.
ments will be made. In fine, the Japs
will soon make a new country neal
our southern boundary-a country OIL
wealth andfmagnifcence.

signfed, the nation itself, is wanting in
that civic education which constitutes
the highest and nobest citizenship. 1t is
not simply an emblem signfyng valor,
peace and truth, but record a history
of the sacrifices made by noble men and
women.
No man can love that flag and be ignor
ant of it's history; know that it was the
banner held aloft by Washington and
cheered by his armies the flag that in
spired the patriots in Valley Forge; the
flag that created a new born hope at
Yorktown; the flag that hoated the seas
in 1872 and commanded the respect of Eng
lishmen; the flag that foated over Sumter
whenBeauregard made the heavens rain
shot and shell; the flag that guided Grant
in the Wilderness and led his advancing
hosts fighting for civil rights and the
equality of men. Know all this, then it's
real significance will dawn upon you and
center your admiration where it belongs,
in the nation and it's history.
But, do not misunderstood me from the
historical facts cited. To associate pa
trotism at all times with belching can
non, smoking artillery, flashing sabres
and bloody battlefields is a most serious
blunder. Patriotism is not for the tented
field alone. 1t belongs in the workshop,
the counting room, the market place, the
school room, the halls of legislation and
the courts of justice.
We must not fail to understand the
meaning of patriotism, civic virtue
ranked pre-eminently above all others.
1t is not a dress-parade emotion that
sweels and bursts on national holidays
and then subsidies until some drum and
fife stirs it into action. No, it is not u
compound of scnsibility and emotion. 1t
does not consist entirely of feeling. Its
best expression is in constant action. A
man may be thrilled by the Star

Henry or Webster, and yet show himself

the absence of his teacher.
Patriotism Is not a plant Of mushroom
growth. 1t Is the offspring of n liberal
education 1t grows by patient toll out
of individual work that fosters true ma
tional greatness.
And with you, teachers, rests the re-
sponsibility of inculcating and implanting
civic virtues in the minds and hearts of
these children. o, dark is our future and
the future of the nation If there is no de-
sire in your hearts to train our boys and
girls to become patriots, men who love
good government and despise corruption
and fraud.
If we are to continue as free. pros
porous and happy people, our children
must be taught that the world Is full of
solemn questions that are to be settled
only through such intelligence and in
tegrity as is possessed by themselves.
Further, that our public acts are just
as sacred and should be viewed with just
as much solicitude as our private ones.
After Professor Howell had received
the applause of the assemblage Chair
man Jennings paid nice compliment
to Judge H. M. Edwards, Introducing
him as one of the honored speakers of
the day. Judge Edwards refrained
from making a lengthy speech. He
spoke of the beauty of the new build
ing, how well 1t shows from a distance
and from the fact of the ancient type
of architectural Judge Edwards ap-
proved the idea of extending the imag
mary powers of the student He sug-
gested that flowers and fountains be
placed around the school grounds and

again impress upon them the virtue of
a cultivation of the esthetic taste.

Food Inspector Cullen after an
analysis of the specimens of the stuff
sold for butter by Henry Weisberg
yesterday reported that two of the five
cakes he had examined are oleomar-

is not unhealthy the food inspector is

persons. The case has been placed in
the hands of Constable Timothy Jones
1t is likely that Constable Jones will
refer the case to the state food inspec-

at the door of j. G. King and he will be
called upon this morning to answer the
