Even the president of the United
States cannot declare war until he is
authorized so to do by congress. Yet
miners or mineowners can at any time
precjpitate industrial war. The time
is coming when they will not be per-
mitted to do so. Compulsory arbitra.
ton will make strikes unnecessary.

1t is said the Koreans are hand
somer race than either the japanese
OF Chinese, and at one time were far
ahead of them in civilization. Devil
worship of the most abject order is the
secret of Korean decadence. Supersti-
ton and fear of countless evil spirits,
with the faint hope of propitiating a
small minority Of kindly demons,
must be held accountable for the de-
generation Of the people whom nature
did not fail to qualify for splendid
destiny. Buddhism and Confucianism
have both been overthrow by Shama-
nism, the keynote of which is always
sorcery. Wizards and witch doctors
are the real rulers Of Korea.
