EDITORS real sentiments toward US, by
referring to the editor of the JoUR VAL

The fact that the JOURNAL secures
subscribers and advertising patronage
from Is. G. citizens and merchants must
be hard pill for the Sentiuel man to
swallow as it seems TO gag him very
often judging By his frequent reference
To the matter, and he refers TO us in the
above manner Tor the purpose OF pref
udicing Bowling Green citizens against
the JOURNAL. Any evidence of pros
perity or success on the part of the
JOURNAL seems TO arouse the jealousy
and anger of the Junior editor of the

all right, Mr.. Editor, you may continue
to act rs the bull and we will also con-
tinue To shake the red flag for youl

The editor of the McComb Record

adopted the curGew bell to call child

few bell that would call home at any
time OF day hose persons who go from

Dor, carrying idle tales OF gossip, be-
smirching the character OF decent peo-
pie, and running the credit OF solid busi-
ness men. But such bell would have
to peal in tones OF heaven ripping thun-
der and be accompanied by lurid blazes
and solphurous fumes from the realms
of perpetual .damnation to have any
effect ON many OF those engaged in The

A NEW OFFICIAL.

For the past six years the Office OF
Probate Judge, OF Wood county, which
has become one OF the most important
of the many offices, has been filled by
Judge Guy C. Nearing, and it is safe
to say, without any disrespect for the
competent officials who have proceeded
him, that no ADLER official has ever been
placed in the Probate office of Wood
county. AT no time has he ever failed
to perform his duties in creditable
manner and he leaYes record behind
him which is equalled by few and will,
we believe, be rarely eyer surpassed
Added to his own ability, he has always
shown excellent judgment in the selec-
tion OF competent men as deputies, and
in all respects the party which nomi-
mated him and the people whose faithful
servant he has been for the past six
years, have reason to be proud of Judge
Nearing who vacated the Office on
Monday last to be occupied by Judge
Angus who was elected last fall.
OF the new incumbent we have every
reason to hope for continuance of the
faithful and efficient services of his
predecessor.
The JOURNAL has previously pub
lished n sketch of his Lille, but that he
may be more thoroughly known by our
readers we append the following bric
reference to his career:
Stephen Atkinson Angus was born in
Columbiana county, October =, 1915.
When but u young lad his family
moved to Monroe county 10 the town
of Cameron, afterward to Sandusky
county, thence to Wood county settling
at Ereeport (Prairie Depot) in April
1860. Stephen attended district
schools. He left school IN Ga and en-
listed in the 25th Regiment Ohio Vol
unteers, but was rejected by the Pre-
yost Marshal who said there were
"plenty Of men and he didn't want any
boys" A short time later he was
mustered into service in the 144th Ohio
Regiment as Il drummer 10y OF Co. X.
He went to the front and carried Il
musket instead Of Il drum, aud was one
of the 30 survivors of the company.
He afterward enlisted in the lS5th o.
V. l. Co. X. and served until the close
of the war, being in "at the finish"
with Capt. L. Black.
During mis- military service he was
in the engagements at Stickers Gap,
Berryville, Ga, aud was in Kentucky
engaged in the warfare with geuril.
las of that section, with headquarters
at Shelbyville.
If his first official act in the selection
of l.. G. Edgar as deputy, isan evidence
of what we may expect of his official
career the indications show that he
proposes that the Probate Court shall
lose none of its prestige with the peo-
Pile. MIR. Edgar is an able attorney; is
a man of excellent character and judg-
ment, two very essential qualifications
for an attache of the Probate Court,
and the JOURNAL extends coneratula-
tions to both Judge Angus and his
denutV,

for it is one of the blessings of our

son fails in everything else the easy
paths of literature are always open.
We believe there is a publishing house
in the United States wherever three or
four hundred human beings are gath

sity of the hoe and harrow that it is
much easier to write a book than to

COMMISSIONER HAYES.

On Thursday, at Hilo, Capt. a.
q. S. Halves, late British Commits
sioner, passed through one of the
thousand gates which Death keeps
open in order to let out life. And
if, beyond the gate, he found
"sleep, eternal youth and immor-
tality," he is, today, the gamer.
His death is a loss, because he
had some rare traits of character
He was faithful to his Queen, to
his service and his own.
During the period, when there
was friction in the adjustment of
our new political system, he did
not increase it, and, looking some
what into the future, never at
tempted to change conditions. He
had large sense of fairness, and
could take more than merely a
British view of affairs. He dealt
easily with troublesome questions,
because he believed in removing,
rather than in aggravating them.
These traits made him valuable in
diplomacy. The end comes to a
good diplomat, to whom Death
hands his passports, and recalls
him to the life beyond.

THE STATUS QUO"

In demanding of the United
States that it maintain the status
gao of Hawaii, Japan says to all
the nations having interests in the
Pacific: Gentlemen, keep your
seats and make no changes"
1t is quite possible that the Jap
anese statesmen have gone further
than they intended to 90, and
they may modify their policy be-
fore long. Japan has already very
much disturbed the status quO in
the Pacific, by selling Formosa.
She would also take the Philip
pine Islands, if permitted to do so,
and no doubt it would be in the
best interests of civilization if she
did. As the British, the Germans
and the French are knocking the
status quo into cooked hat
throughout the Southern Pacific
islands, it does not seem to be the
wisest policy for Japan to hamper
the United States while anXiously
struggling with their first colonial
baby.
If more clearly defined, it is
probable that the policy of the
Japanese is based on its claim to
protect the large number of their
people here. 1t was said in the
British Parliament in 1898 that
the British Government was quite
willing to leave British subjects to
the protection of > the United
States, in the event of annexation.
The japanese Government may
not feel the same confidence, IN
asmuch as there is a very pro-
nounced and growing feeling on
the Pacific Coast against japanese
laborers. The Chinese having
been arbitrarily dealt with by the
United States, there is abundant
reason, on the part of the japanese,
to suspect similar treatment.
IF there were 5000 Americans
in Hawaii and only 5000 Japan
csc, it would be quite natural for
the American Government to ''in-
terfere'' in some way if Japan pro
posed annexation,
We do not, for a moment, take
sides with the japanese. We may
as well, however, look this matter
very squarely in the face. There
Is an embarrassment on both sides.
Wild talk does no good, and war
talk does worse. The United
States will not expend some hun
dreds of millions in teaching Jap
an a lesson" nor viii Japan try
her new manhood against her old
est and best friend. The great
Caucasian and Asiatic mastiffs will
not make a miserable dog fight
over the little Hawaiian bone, and
if it should ever appear that our
own Government has "egged them

AN IMPORTANT STUDY OF
LEPR0SY-

An international conference is to be
held in Berlin next October. At this
conference papers are TO be read by the
most eminent physicians and bacteri-
ologists of the world on the subject of
Ieprosy, which has hitherto baffled all
efforts to solve its origin and TO pro-
vide a cure Leprosy has been spread
ling of late years with increasing rapid
ity, and the need of some means Of in
lternational quarantine against the dis
ease has been emphasized by the
carrying of the plague into new re-
! gions. From the nature of the disease
| it does not reproduce itself as rapidly
as do the quicker contagious, such as
cholera, yellow fever, small pox, bubon-
ic plague and others of that sort, but
each case is grave menace TO any
community and inspires the health Of
ficials to unusual efforts at isolation.
1t seems strange that with all the pro-
gress in medicine and bacteriOlOgy of
late years practically no new facts
should have been learned with regard
to leprosy, which has been known as a
dread disease since the earliest times.
1t has remained mystery, and it IS
the hope of the projectors of the Ber-
lin conference that in the interchange
of ideas concerning the evil new lines
| of inquiry will be opened up and some
| forward steps taken toward the long
sought goal of complete analysis and
reliable cure. Among those who are to
participate in this meeting are Prof.
Kock of lymph" fame, Virchow, one
of the the worlds greatest medical
discoveries, and many others of great
repute. The United States will be re-
presented by Surgeon Kinyoun of the
Marine Hospital Service, who is well
qualified to take part in SO important
conference.
Without unduly magnifying the
Importance of the matter, we APP
prove the appointment by the
Government of a medical repre-
sentative from Hawaii to this con
ference. The enthusiasm and earn
est study of the subject by our ply
sicians, and their desire to obtain
information upon it, justifies the
expense of sending one of them to
the conference. Aside from this,
the condition here of the disease.
which it Is not necessary to discuss,
demands that we should be repre-
sented. even at considerable cost.
If there is anything to be learned
from the conference, we must
have the knowledge. In the proba
bic change of political conditions,
it is probable that we may not be
able to keep the matter of leprosy
so we'll in hand as we do now.
The more our doctors know about
it. the better, and the conference
should make them wiser men. 1t
is hardly possible that there can
be any difference of,opinion on the
subject. Our medical men must
keep abreast of all knowledge of
treatment and remedies for this
disease.
