University. hat one of our townsmen
should be found worthy to step into the
shoes of Robert e. Lee, one Of the
ablest. noblest and purest men that this
country has ever produced, and to take
the head of one of the foremost educa-
tional institutionals in America, IS
something in which his fellow-towns-
men, as well as Mr.. Wilson, may well
feel pardonable pride. That the dis
tinguished statesman and scholar, how
ever will bring to the position eminent
ability and fill it with honor to him
self and to all concerned, none who
know him will for a moment doubt.
Washington and Lee, therefore, in hon
oring him has honored itself, and we
confidently predict for that time-hon-

monopolize the attention of the Senate.

REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE.

The decree has gone forth that the Re-
publicans are to control every State insti-
tuition at once. Before the 10th of March
Governor Atkinson will appoint the man
aging boards of each. Viewing politics
from practical standpoint. this is what
might have beer expected. This means
the ousting of many persons who have
held places under the State for years and
the filing Of these positions with Repub-
lican partisans. Whether this viii he for
the best interest Of our institutions we
seriously doubt. but the responsibility OF
the change rests with the Republican
party alone. and It should not concern us.
If everything remains in as good condition
as it now is no special blame will be at

ton suffers public opinion will place the
responsibility where 1t properly belongs

Japan Doesn't Want Hawaii.


The sensation seeking editors and poll
ticians who have been trying TO make
the people believe that Japan is schem-
ing to get control of Hawaii should read
the article Of Mr.. Toru Hoshi. the Japan.
csc minister at Washington. which ap-
pears In the November Harper's. The ar
tiole is charmingly written and IL brief
space points OUT the conditions existing
in Japan at the time her ports were
thrown open TO the world which have ell
ablsd her to make such wonderful in
dustriaI and commercial progress since
that time. and have aided her In taking
such q conspicuous place among the ma
tions. The story is an interesting one
and one well worth careful study. because
Japan has only just begun to show how
great her ability is to compete success
fully with other powers in everything
which makes a nation rich and powerful.
With reference to Hawaii Mr.. Toru
Hoshf says that Japan has never had,
ard has not now. any designs upon Ha-
wall. He explains that Japan is not greedy
for additional territory. that she is salts
fed to develop the resources of the ter
ritory she now has. 1t Is true, he says,
that the Japan government has had some
controversy with the government Of Ha-
wall in respect to the proposed annexa-
ton OF Hawaii to the United States, but
the controversy had reference to the ia
panese laborers in Hawaii. These laborers
went 10 work on the Hawaiian sugar
plantations on certain conditions, agreed
to by the governments of Hawaii and
Japan, and Japan wants those conditions
respected in the event that the islands are
annexed to the United States. She not
only wants them respected, but she wants
also the fact that they will be respected
clearly stated In the annexation treaty.
That is the sum and substance of her
contention, so Mr.. Toru Hoshi says, and
if it is there has been a great deal of
newspaper talk which has done Japan in.
justice.
Fer instance, the charge that Japan sis
lustfu1 of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, eager to quar-
rel and ready, If need be, for war is hot
says Mr.. Toru Hoshi in harmony with
the facts. and to see a charge of that
kind in the newspapers of the United
panese regard the people of the United
States, the minister says as their warm
friends. He speaks of this matter as fol-
lows: IF there was a nation upon whose
sympathy they could rely in the effort to
improve their condition and of whose ap-
probation they were certain in whatever
successes they might gain, that nation
the Japanese people have thought, was
the United States. Such being the case,
the tone of many recent utterances in the
American press will be to them like an
angry blow from a friend'
Mr.. Toru Hoshi's article will go long
way toward giving the American people
a correct idea of the purposes of Japan.
The American people have always had a
high regard for the japanese and there
does not appear to be any reason why
they should not continue to have.

A College Training.

Joe Lincoln in L. A. w. Bulletin and
Good Roads.
Home from college came the STRIPPING,
calm and cool and debonair,
With a weird array of raiment and a Won
drous wealth of hair,
With lazy love of languor and a healthy
hate of work
And a cigarette devotion that would
shame the turbaned Turk.
And he called his father ''Guv'nor," with
a cheek serene and rude
While that raging, wrathful rustic called
his son BLASTED dude"
And in dark and direful language mutter-
ed threats OF coming harm
To the idle shiftless critter" from his
fathers good right arm.
And the trouble reached a climax on the
lawn behind the she'd
Now I'm goin ter lick yer, sonny" SO
the sturdy parent said,
and I'll knock the college nonsense from
your noodle, mighty quick
Then he lit upon that chapDy like a wagon
load of brick
But the youth serenely murmured, as he
grpped his angry dad,
you're a clever rusher, GUY nor, but you
tackle very bad'
And he rushed him through the center and
he tripped him for a fall
And he scored a goal and touchdown with
his papa as the bail.
Then a cigarette he lighted, as he slow
ly strolled away,
Saying, That was jolly, Guv'nor, now
we'll practice every day."
While his father from the puddle, where
he wallowed in disgrace,
Smiled upon his offspring, proudly, from
bruised and battered face
And with difficulty rising, quick he hob
bed to the house.
"Henry's all right, Ma" he shouted to his
anxious, waiting spouse.
He jest licked me good and solid, and I
tell yer, Mary Ann,
When a chap kin lick your husband he's
a might able man."

The rsports which are sent OUT to the
newspapers from Madrid indicate that the
Spanish government thinks il has a griev-
ance against the United States-the grew
ance being that Spain would have been
able TO put down the instruction in Cuba
long ago il the insurgents had not recelv-
- 50 much material assistance from the
United states. II Spain really thinks she
has a grievance OF this sort. she shows
that she is not very well informed. As
matter Of fact very few flibustering ex-
petitions have left the shores OF this coun-
Try Tor Cuba. There have been numerous
reports Of such expeditions. but the reports
have never been verified. No doubt many
cargoes of arms and ammunition have
gone from our ports TO Cuba, but as Spain.
persists in saying that a state OF war does
nor exist in Cuba. international law is not
violated by these cargoes. All that this
country Is required to do by its in.erna-
uonal law obligations is to use due dill
gence in preventing ahbustering expedi-
tons from leaving its shores. That due
diligence has been used, even the Spanish
minister at Washington will have to adj
nit. because our government has never
hesitated TO act promptly on the informa-
ton furnished either by its own agents OF
by Spanish spies. At Washington. it is
said that special care has been taken by
the government to leave Spain no ground
for complaint The government has spent
a very large amount of money in hunting
for alleged fllibustering expeditions, and In
holding for investigation vesse.s alleged
to be engaged in filibustering. No. Spain
has no rea! ground on which to find fault
with the way this country has fulfilled its
international obligations to her in this Gu
ban trouble It is doubtful II another in
stance Of such faithful fulhIlment of in
ternational obligations can be found in the
history Of nations. If arms have reached
Cuba from this country Spain has only
herself to blame. It is her business to see
to it that cargoes intended to assist the in
surgents are not landed
II Spain is not satisfied with what this
government has done towards preventing
the insurgents from getting help from Gu
ban sympathisers in this country it is be-
cause she doesn't want to be satisfied As
a matter of fact she may be seeking a pre-
text for trouble. feeling that her pride
would be hurt less by losing Cuba in
contest with this country than by being
driven out Of Cuba by the Insurgents If
that is her purpose her pride Will likely
add greatly to the losses she has already
suffered in trying to put down the Cuban
Instruction.
