The footing which Japan has ac-
shown by the fact that her troops
We're left alone to guard Pekin while
the soldiers of the other allied powers
left the city and marched to Pao Ting
Flu which they captured. Little Japan's
march to the front has been a rapid
one, but now she is on equal terms
with the best of her sister nations and
is respected by all of them. 1t has
even been suggested that Japan be
left in charge Of the pacification and
reorganization of China. and il is
certain that it is not worst course
which could be adopted.

The Republican National Committee
has taken the occasion Of Mr.. Bryan's
coming TO New York TO PROFOUND to
him the following list Of questions:
VIII you. If elected, pay the national
obligations in gold or i'll silver?
VIII you. if elected. make use of the
United States Army 10 forcibly estab-
lish a stable government for Agui-
naldo?
Are you in favor of re-enactinE the
Wilson tariff law or one similar there
to?
Are you in favor Of DISTINGUISHING
the col9red citizens az the South?
Do YOU approve Of the action IF the
Democrats in Congress in defeating
the antitrust amendment last June?
You have lately gone on record as
opposing a life tenure in the civil ser
vice. How long tenure would You
permit?
You have lately charged the Rcpuh-
licans with collecting a large fund
from monopolies and coercinS voters.
Will you mention any monopoly from
which the Republicans have made such
collection. and also mention one spe-
citic ease Of coercion?
These are simple questions. easily
answered. and such as the people have
a right to ask of the man who is
soliciting votes for the office Of Presi-
dent. They conceal no trap. but are
direct questions of urgent interest. Mr..
Bryan would not hesitate to answer
them if he We're not maintaining one

Again the betrothal of Queen Will
helmina is announced, and this time,
as she proclaims il herself, it ought
to be authoritative. The fair young
queen has been engaged. according TO
reports. fully dozen times since she
came ID the throne two years ago.
Either She is tickle or the gossips are
over busy. Perhaps the two reasons
are combined to account for her love
affairs. II was only last week that 4
German prince died because she would
not smile on his suit, or rather because
she laughed at il instead of smiling
on it. Being a beautiful queen OF
manageable age has heavier re-
sponsibilities than fall TO the usual
run Of royalty. The happy man whom
Wilhelmina has selected is Duke Henry
of MecklenburgS chwerin, age p. We
hope he is more attractive and easier
to handle than his name, else the
fair queen, wilfui though she is, is in
for a hard time.

1.-The Old Guitar"

Neglected now is the old guitar
And moldering into decay
Fretted with many rift and scar
That the dull dust hides away
While the spider spins a silver star
In its silent lips today.
The key holds only nerveless strings
The sinews of brave old airs
Are pulseless now; and the scarf that
clings
So closely here declares
A sad regret in its Rawlings
And the faded hue il wears.
But The old guitar. with a lenient grace,
Has cherished a smile for me;
And its features hint of a fairer face
That comes with memory
OF tiower-and- perfume haunted place
And mOonlit balcony.
Music sweeter than words confess
or the minstrels powers invent,
Thrilled here once at the light Caress
OF the fairy hands that lent
This excuse for the kiss | press
On the dear old instrument.

Our Friend Julian.

Frederick Julian. probably the best known actor who has visited this sec- tioD, has been having very successful season with the Hopkins Stock O., at Memphis, Tenn. The Memphis Com mercial Appeal speaking of the recent production of Lester Wsllack's admir- able drama. "Rosedale" says:
 The play was produced in superior way, and critically the great demands of the piece were in most instances met and adequately filled,
 Frederick Julian, as Miles McKenna, and Frederick Montague. as Elliot Gray. each achieved the distinction of receiv ing curtain calls, and at the conclusion of the fourth act the actors were called before the curtain three times and the audience was then only partially satis. fled.
 Mir Julian especially deserves atten- tion. He was cast in a roll requiring the incest understanding to properly ex- press. The demands of artistic judg- ment were tested in the second act, and he presented them in a way that dis tiuguished the actor and distinguished the performance. His portrayal of this important scene stands out as the post brilliant bit of acting he has done thit season.

An Editor on the Drama.

Editor Livingston Russell of the Ridgefield Press, after condemning the portrayal of lewdness on the stage says:
 ''Gool wholesome plays are wanted and will endure. The great public will continue to pstronize play houses, and applaud virtue and hiss villiany and vice.
 A play, picturing by living, moving characters, a wholesome and diverting story of life, i. as welcome a means of relaxation as reading a novel, driving, travelling or any reasonable pleasure
 The ue drama mirrors life and re fleets all the srts-the sculptor's postur ings, the painters grouping and color the musicians melodies, the ricL thought of the author and the word. harmonies of the poet.
 The drama is as necessary to the in tellectual life as any of the other arts.
 The higher forms of the drama are a. wholesome ss pure air, as brighteniDp as sunshine, as fragrant to our lives as flowers
 It is one of the humsn-created forms of beauty, spreading joy far and wide. '
