They have just had a terrific fight
in Topeka over the question of law en-
forcement. especially with regard to
the liquor laws. The fruits of Mrs.
Nations work are appearing in many
places. and one grand outcome of her
sdvagery has been the awakening of
the women to a sense of their respon-
sibiIities. 1t is not everywhere that
the woman can vote. but woman's in
huence is enormous even without the
power of the ballot in her hands. In
Topeka the women turned out in force
to the polls. and the entire law en-
forcement ticket was nominated in the
republican primaries by a majority of
more than a thousand. The politicians
are scared up. and the leaders and the
newspapers generally concede that it
was the women that saved the day.
and that have got to be reckoned with
hereafter until they relapse into their
former apathy.

THE REPORTS OF PLAGUE
IN SAN FRANCISCO.

A day or two ago Assistant Secretary
Spaulding of the United States treas
ury department gave out a statement in
which he said:
"The published reports of the exis-
tence of bubonic plague in San Fran
cisco should excite no alarm there or in
the country at large. The plague is
not epidemic there, and do not believe
it will be. 1 would feel as safe living
in San Francisco as in Washington.
THE travelling man and business
man can communicate as safely with
San Francisco today as a year ago.
the treasury department is fully adj
vised of the situation and speaks with
confidence in denying occasion for
alarm exists on account of the health
conditions in San Francisco"
What the truth is about the alleged
bubonic plague in San Francisco no
body seems to know positively, and the
fellows that have the most reliable
opinion. the treasury experts, will not
tell. Why there should have been this
ment for many months East is hard to
say. The United States is not so care
full to conceal the knowledge of the ex-
jstence OF yellow fever, and the work of
the government in putting down this
dread disease has been magnificent. Yet
here is disease that is said to be one
of the most loathsome of all the mala-
dies that afflict mankind. Its existence
in the western seaport has been rumor
ed for year past. Transcontinental
commerce is sadly hampered by the re-
strictions imposed by the health de-
partment of this great state. The gov
eminent has perfect right to ascer-
tain the facts and publish them to the
world; and more than that. it would
seem to be the duty of the government
to find out the truth so as to let the
people of the country at large know
whether they can rely on the state
ments and reports of the state authori-
ties of California.
Now that the commission has made
it's investigation and is ready to report.
the results should be given to the pub
lie. Too much hangs upon it to- permit
further delay. AS to San Francisco
and the state of California, it is their
manifest duty to turn in and clean up
: Chinatown and establish an effective
patrol and system of quarantine and
isolation, so that there will be no pos
sibility OF the fearful disease, whether
it be the true bubonic plague or not.

preacher played a novel role as n
match maker at Kansas City the other
day. A young man was very anxious
to wed a girl only seventeen years old.
The Missouri officials refused to issue
a license to the couple owing to the
youth of the girl. The minister came
to the rescue and so anxious was he
for his fee that he reasoned and argued
the young man into an unusual pro-
ceeding. The preacher told the youth
that in the event of trouble it would be
a good thing to have some uncertainty
about the exact place where the mar
riage took place. and accordingly the
party went to the center of the inter-
state bridge. Here. with the groom
and the minister in Kansas and the
girl standing exactly astride of the
boundary line. the ceremony was per-
formed Thus half the girl was mar
ried in Kansas and the other half in
Missouri. The groom was little in
doubt about the legality of this ar
rangement until the minister assured
him that he would be married to both
halves of his wife. His reasoning was
conclusive. He said that if he were
married tc only one half of the girl the
twain would only be three-quarters in
stead of one, which is manifestly illog-
ical and unbiblical.

JAPAN SATISFIED.
RUSSIA'S ASSURANCES REGARDING MAN
CHURIA ACCEPTED.

Washington. April 1O-The Japanese Minister.
Mr.. Takahira received official advices from the
Foreign Office at Toxic to-day entirely dispel-
ling the alarming reports to Russo-Japanese
rupture and showing that the Japanese Gov
ernment accepted the latest declaration of Rus
sia on Manchuria with the same sense Of salts
faction that it's reception by the United States
had given. Mr. Takahira called at the State
Department and informed Secretary Hay Of the
gratifying turn of affairs.
The position OF Japan, now defined in the
highest official quarter is practically the same
as that of the United States A copy of the re-
cent Russian communication delivered to
Japan at the same time it given to this
government. and although the texts differ
slightly they alike all material points.
The japanese Government makes known
that 1t accepts this declaration made In en-
tire good faith, and, like the United States II is
satisfied to leave the Manchurian question in its
present status The assurances given by Russia
are of such character that the Japanese
thorities confidently look forward to a course Of
action which will remove the perplexity and
dangers in which the issue has been involved
thus far.
AS the other powers already have indicated
their acceptance of the Russian declaration, the
course Of Japan removes the last possibility of
division. and appears to restore the harmonious
concert which has thus far proceeded in dealing
with China
