PERHAPS NO MOVE.

The statement that the Russians will
not advance on Korea might be fairly
supplemented by japanese decision
not to advance beyond it. Japan went
to war to get Korea and having got
her, and incidentally the control Of the
sea, what more does she want? Ger
tainly Japan does not covet Manchuria
and unless she is bound by treaty to
save China, her present position ought
to suit her very well indeed When
the prize is won all that remains is to
defend 1t.
If Japan should decide to stand pat,
Russia would be in most embarrass-
ing position. What she wants Is to
pursue the Fabian policy which worked
50 well during the French invasion; to
lure the enemy to the recesses of her
own country before turning upon him.
But Japan, without the slightest loss
of prestige can sit down in her Korean
entertainments and compel the Rus
slams either to drop the war or come
where the Japanese are and fight on
ground of the latters own choosing.
Perhaps that is the game. If it is,
outwitted Russia will be the jest and
by-word of the world.

A WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT

The subject of worlds fair exhibit
at private expense is to be discussed
by the merchants and planters. There
Is moral incentive to do something
to counterfeit the presence on the
Pike" of the hula hula show, and this,
as we'll as the value of worlds fair
advertising will be considered.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that the people who go to see hulas at
a great fair are not led away from
them by school exhibits or grocery dis
plays. Bias relief maps and bags of
sugar do not wean them from the spice
of life. Even papier mache fish and
tapa cloth cannot be depended on to
make the pikers forget the music of
Toni Toni over in the grass hut. The
scheme is too much like that of the
good old ladies who proposed to win
men from strong drink by giving them
weekly lectures on village improve
ment.
The Advertiser, in view of the failure
of Hawaii to get much good out of past
worlds fairs, has not been enthusiastic
for a display at st. Louis. But it
would heartily approve any show of
kind that actually draws people and
convinces them that a place is worth
seeing and worth living in. Moving
pictures always attract crowds and a
display, in that form, of Hawaiian
street and plantation scenes, SURF
bathing, the volcano, schools at recess,
shore fishing, park band concerts. yacht
racing, etc, could not fail to advertise
Hawaii as it is and make people wish
to come here. There is more for Ha-
wall in $4,000 spent upon moving pic
lures than there would be in $4,000
in such exhibits as the Islands MAIN
tanned at Omaha, Buffalo, Charleston
and Paris. The most We, got out of
Chicago and San Francisco fairs came
of the Kilauea cyclorama; the least out
of the merchandise display.

THOUGHTS ON THE WAR.

In specializing upon the slow course
of the Japanese in Korea, two consid-
erations present themselves. There is
the weather, which, in Korea, is Sibe-
rian in its winter intensity. During our
Civil War troops went into winter
quarters, even in the mid-South, only
emerging for great operations when the
cold abated and the roads grew firm.
1t is noticeable that, in the Balkans.
fighting brews in April and does not go
far in winter. Since Napoleon's retreat
from Moscow, military leaders in north
ern ATTITUDES, have fought shy of cold
weather save for purposes of defence.
War along modern lines is not served
like justice-all places temples and all
seasons summer-but is influenced by
the state of the thermometer and the
rain gauge.
There is another explanation possible
which has to do with high strategy.
Japan went to war because Russia
would not concede Korea to her. She
occupied the Hermit Peninsula with "A
great army and it now devolves upon
Russia to either accept the situation or
undertake to turn the japanese out.
There is perhaps no occasion for Japan,
having got what she wanted to go fur
Their and attempt to dislodge Russia
from another part of Asia. All she
needs to do under such circumstances,
is to strengthen her defences and await
the Cars pleasure. She can put men
enough into Korea to hold the place
against all corners; she might not have
enough to scatter in various armies dis
frihuted far from their common base,
in the enemy's country and threatened
by superior numbers. There was hint
in the news the other day that the
Japanese did not intend to lose them
selves in Manchuria.
AS mere speculations these theories
are given for what they are worth,
which may be much or little as events
shall shape themselves.

opening of work on the isthmian canal
will be something new in the line OF
development.
Moreover a boom which will make
Panama one of the two great focal
points of the worlds commerce, has In
1t the pledge of lasting prosperity.
Suez and Port Said did not become
great because their back-country is a
desert and because such resources as
the Nile region provides go to other
and long established emporiums. But
Panama and Colon have one of the
richest of tropical regions to draw upon
for export wealth and one not furnish

American sway. Is mineral and agri-
cultural treasure mine. All that is
needed to develop 1t is the American
method. once such development is
had, enormous fortunes, like those
which made Jamaica celebrated a hun
dred years ago, may be looked for.
1t is deemed probable that footloose
men who, by living In Americas in
sular possessions, have learned to bear
the tropical climate, will go to Panama
in the fair expectation of finding plenty
to do. In the domain of the sun and
the jungle they will have a clear adj

| Mexico has apparently taken alarm

ted States and Will go in for coast de-
fences and a navy. San Juan de Uluo

Will have a modern fortress and all the
ports Of the republic are to be safe

intended to provide for the defense of
the interior approaches to the City of
Mexico and to several of the State
capitals.
Evidently Mexico expects that the
United States will sooner or later alb
sorb the whole of Central America and
she does not like a position between
the upper and neither millstones. In
the view that expansion. beginning at
the canal, will touch the south Mexican
frontier, the Diaz government is prob
ably right, for 1t will not be to the
interest of the United States to have
foreigners build n second canal via.

mating commercial influence in the
Panama hinterland. Central America,
sooner or later, must come under the
stars and Stripes. 1t Is manifest des-
tiny. But whether Mexico shall be
absorbed or not will depend, chiefly,
upon her own conduct as q member of
the family of nations.
The American people are well salts
fled to leave Mexico alone. They do
not want another Philippine problem
to deal with. So long as peace reigns
across the border and international OBJ
legations are kept, the cactus republic
will have no cause to fear American
expansion. The United States does
not need Mexico in it's business as it
will need the canal district; and 1t
respects the government which Presi-
dent Daz is giving a naturally turbu-
lent people. The danger to Mexico
would be in succession of bad rulers
and civil wars and of the sort of in
trigue which obliged the United States
to take Colombia by the throat. A few
years of that, would justify interview

! Mr.. Hearst is a growing presence in
the field OF politics and the fact is
ineasurably due to the secret work OF
Mr. Bryan whose interest II is to have a
man head the Democratic ticket this
/ time who will be more easily beaten
than he was himself.
Nothing could so extinguish Mr..
Bryan ms the success of the Democratic
candidate for President in 1904. Such
result would emphasize the claim OF
Mr.. Bryan's fractional enemies that he
was the cause of the party's failure In
1896 and 1900. To show that the fault
was the partys and not its leaders
would be much easier in the event of
another Democrat being defeated for
the Presidency than in the case that
MIR. Bryan's successor should carry all
before him. Defeat this year at the
hands of some new leader, especially
crushing defeat, would inevitably make
the party think more of the Orator OF
the Platte. OF course 1t would not do
for Mr.. Bryan to closely identify him
self with the victim of the sacrifice, for
then men might say that the milestone
of his friendship had borne the man
down: so Mr.. Bryan is shrewdly work.

nuence for Hearst is not ostentatious,
but is the more effective for that.
Republicans are watching the game

has come to be called. They would
name him If they could. Whatever

THE MORMON ISSUE.

1t is hard to fathom the motive of
President Smiths open defiance of the
moral sentiment of the United States.
That Smith can locally rely upon the
control Mormons have over the laws
of Utah is probably true but that
would not save him from the punish
ment which would follow the passage
of a constitutional amendment forbid
ding polygamy, as slavery. it's twin
relic of barbarism," was prohibited
Without doubt Congress would pass
and two-thirds of the States ratifv
such an amendment whereupon Presi-
dent Smith and his fellow offenders
would have the choice of obeying the
law or standing prosecution in courts
which they could not control.
1t was the part of wisdom, in case
the Mormon apostles" proposed to live
in the plural relation, to keep under
cover. But President Smith, In his
testimony before Senate committee
of investigation makes a virtue and
a boast of his iniquity He wants all
the world to know. Standing in the
most conspicuous witness box of the
country he ranges his five wives and
forty-two children in line and asks his
countrymen to share his pride in them.
Those who show disgust at the specta-
Gle are invited to say what they will
do about it, The proper answer to this
sort of thing is an amendment 10 the
organic law of the United States which
will make 1t impossible for plural mar
riages to be recognized in any State.
The cause Is one to enlist the
churches, the societies for the suppress
sion of vice and all people of good
morals. The fight 1t suggests would
be short and decisive.

DRlfK EVIL LESSENlNG.

/ The solid growth of temperance in
the United States can best be judged
by those whose memories extend back
to the first third of the last century
or who have studied the social annals Of
that and a previous time. There Is
current belief that the earlier Ameri-
can, especially the New Highlander, was
a total abstainer when, as matter of
fact, he drank early and often. Rum
was served at religious meetings in
Massachusetts $50 years ago. There
is a sermon extant wherein a Puritan
preacher condemned the man who
drank no wine as fellow with the
'infidel Turk" No social occasion was
complete without strong drink. Horace
Greeley. in his Recollections of Busy
Life, speaks of the social obloquyh he was
under in the neighborhood of his New
England home because, as a young
man, he determined to refuse alcoholic
beverages. Once he was forced to
drink by well-meaning neighbors. At
conventions, quarterly-meetings, barn
raisings, husking bees and the like,
rum was the common drink and intox-
ication expressed the popular idea of
a good time.
While drunkenness has by no means
gone from these rural places it is now
under a social and business ban. The
man who habitually drinks is mark
ed; the occasional tippler is suspected;
a young man who goes to saloons cam
not be sure of getting employment or
wife, The law, by providing penalties
for drunkenness, has helped to make
the habit questionable. So has the
prevalence of clean athletic sports.
Nor is the reform confined to rural
places; it extends to the cities and
along all the spheres of traffic and
is much advanced by the common
usage of railroad and steamship cor
poratons and of great business houses
in discharging from their employ men
who are known to make any use what
ever. save under a physicians orders,
of alcoholic stimulants. Indeed this
rule is so common that it extends to
barkeepers. The man who wants a
place behind the bar can get it easier
and keep it longer, If he proves that
he has never occupied place in front
of it.
The healthy public sentiment which
supports the temperate life-or, prop
erly speaking, the habit of total alb
stention-is its surest guarantee of
permanence; and anything that goes
to increase and strengthen that senti-
ment is in the line of the best service
which can be rendered to the cause.
Prohibitory laws cannot be enforced
unless there is a majority public senti-
ment behind them. Before legal sua-
sion comes there must be moral sua-
sion. Happily this last is supplement-
ed by the very practical rules
which employers of labor, all over the
country, are beginning to insist upon.
