The HERALD again calls the at
tention of tho citizens of Bonners
Ferry to the urgent need of fire
protection. Hardly a week passes
but what one reads of some town
being licked up with flames. This
town may be the next. The bust
ness men ought to take this matter
in hand as thew have more at stake
than anyone. The present hazard
Gus condition probably keeps out
some competition, but that condi-
ton is hardly worth the risk. The
HERALD would suggest the build
ing of reservoir and the laying
of a good sySssGn of pipes, with an
engine to punp the water into the
reservoir. Sush system is not
beyond reach 81 the present time,
and could be nsed until such time
as the town Ia able to putin grav-
ity system. There would be little
loss changing from one system to
another as tia same reservoir and
the same m s1na would answer for
either. Why not get together and
act before we have a calamity?

suffered materially If one crop failed he had others
that were not affected by dry weather If man de-
pended entirely ON dairying and bought feed for his
cows he has probably lost enough money to convince
him that growing clover vetehes, peas and other leg

the singe-crop idea when he had land to use for pro-
ducing that which he has been forced to buy at high
prices,

annual dividends from the farm There may be

he keeps dozen cows and 200 chickens. The in

THE YELLOW PERIL"

The sympathes of all the world would be with
Japan in the present war if it were not for the posi-
bility of future combination, offensive as well as
defensive, with China. Japan of herself can never
be grave danger to the rest of the world because
her position is isolated and her limitations in regard
to population and to extent of empire, are crcum
scrbed But China is nation of over 400,O00,0OO
of population; and if she were to wake up and
follow the lead Of Japan it is difficult to anticipate
her possibilities as a world-power.
Colonel Grandprey, once French military attache
in Peking gives some very interesting information
regarding the Chinese army in the Reyue de Paris.
He says that few countries have such excellent ma
terial as China for an army where the whole pop
ulation consists so to speak, of people, display
ing the same racial qualities. The Chnaman is long
lived and tenacious of life; he thrives in every eli
mate, in spite of heat or cold. He is extremely
thrifty and, therefore, easily supported. He has
nerves of steel he sleep in any position and in
any place, and can do with minimum of sleep. He
seldom needs doctor and bears pain with the great
est stoicism. The Chinaman is very teachable and
what he has once been taught he never forgets.
Such qualifications are certainly those of born
soldiers, and only require development on military
lines and organization to make them equal to the
japanese per man. The Chinese, however, are not,
and have never been, an aggressive people, prefer
ring peace and settled conditions.
Perhaps one of the greatest authorities on the
japanese, Mr.. Frank Brinkley, editor of the Japan
Mall writing in September Munsey, regards the
whole question of the Yellow Peril as bogey. He
has lived many years in the country, is intimately
associated with the people and has he says been per-
mitted to share their thoughts as well as their as
pirations He knows of nothing which will justify
the conclusion that the Japanese if successful in the
present war, will become menace to other powers.

PROFITS IN SMALL FARMS.

Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, is
an enthusiastic admirer of the small farm and of the
diversified farmer. His ambition is to make the
American farmer a better man in everything that
pertains to individual success and national pros
perity. lie wants every farmer to become scientific
tiller Of the soil. His advice to pupils of agricu-
ture is to manage the land as to produce twice as
much as it now gives in return for labor This can
be accomplished by intelligent handling of the land
and crops.
+ The census returns, recently issued from the bu-
reau maintained for that purpose, show that 40 per
cent of the American people who work for a living
find profitable employment in tilling the soil. The
great majority of those men are owners of small
tracts of land They are students of agriculture in
all its bearings Their homes are built after modern
plans and their methods of work, are up to date
They are not financial plungers, depending on the
use of others money to make or break in a specu-
lative deal

THE PROPOSAL FOR PEACE.

The proposal of the interparlamentary union that
the powers intervene in the RussoJapaneSe war will
appeal to all good citizens of all countries Con-
certed action on the part of the nations will surely
60 far toward bringing about peaceabe adjustment
of the difficulties on basis satisfactory to both of
the contendng interests and will put stop to what
promises to be the greatest slaughter in the history
of the world
The loss at the battle of Liao Yang, calmly con-
sidered, is absolutely appalling. Approximately
$4,000 men were killed or wounded at that battle,
taking the conservative figures of the opposing gen
erals for it. Perhaps $4,000 is nearer the correct
figure. Of the total number counted as lost !"
doubtless fully 10000 were killed or received In
jures which resulted in DEATH The violent death of
one-tenth the number killed. under almost any other
circumstances, would horrify the world. Intensely
partisan toward one or the other of the two nations
involved, most of us pause only to consider which
was victorious, and in our enthusiasm overlook the
terrible ravages of battle.
The spectacle of two Goth century nations in
volved in a death struggle is certainly sad COM
mentary upon our civilization and it does seem that
the nations of the world should take steps to pre-
vent recurrence of such awful conflicts. The law
governs and regulates and settles differences between
individuals, and it is quite as reasonable to sup
pose that the law could be made to apply to dis
putes between nations, no matter to what extent
they might become involved
At the present time the japanese and Russians are
Lea H. 10 10
ehuria. Russian occupation of Manchuria is un-
deniably breach of agreement on the part of the
ezar's government, and as well menace to the
safety and commercial interests of Japan. After
the Chno-Japanese war Russia declined to with
draw her troops from the disputed territory, and,
following demand on the part of Japan that the
troops be withdrawn war was declared.
Had the powers of the world been acting in con-
cert at the time of the rupture, there could have
been an effectual and immediate settlement of the
differences, for neither Of the combatants would
have dared disobey the mandate Of all other world
powers. The mandate would have been fna just
as much so as the mandate of a court is final The
wanton slaughter of many thousands Of men would
have been avoided and the moral tone of the uni
verse elevated 1t would be comparatively simple
to bring about the creation Of world congress,
representing all the nations, which, endowed with
the necessary authority could settle international
disputes 1t is only necessary that the start shall
be properly made, and the present session of the
interparliNentary union may be regarded as step
in that direction.
War and the attendant sacrifice of human life
are unnecessary and it is time the necessity for
both was stamped out.
