The text of the decision of the SUI
preme court on the legality of taxing
mortgages must be waited for before
we can say just what it means. The
press announces that it holds mortga-
cages and credits to be property.
Such parts of the decision as have APP
peared are careful always to add, Gun

phrase modIiier. Credits may still,
even in the minds of the court, not be
property in the other sense. Proper
ty under the law and constitution is
one thing; property as an actual ex-
istence quite another. There prob
ably has never been serious question
but what our laws contemplated
mortgages as taxable under the name
of property. There is still question
whether that are really propertv,--Ex.

1t is true that a successful war

Elements of Port Arthur and
Vladivostok, may take counsel
of her pride and turn a new side
of her national character to-
ward the nations. The United
States has shown the world how

may become as aggressive a

America. 1t is only fair, how
ever, at present to take the Jap
anese at their word and look for
liberal policies if they are victors
in the present conflict.
That the producers of America
would be benefited by the domi-
nance of Japan in China, there
are many reasons for believing.
Our present trade with the Mi.
kado's subjects speaks volumes
of the possibilities of its extern
sion should Japanesein influence be-
come paramount in China. The
United States is the largest Gus

from that country in 1908 were

Our exports to Japan have grown
from 81, 7S1, los in 1881 to $46,-

Japan is likely to regard the

a Tip From New York.

A valuable tip in regarding the
proper way to handle a runaway
horse has been furnished to the
girls of this counsry by a self
possessed Young woman of New
York. The other day shs was
out driving with a gentlemen
when his horse became unman-
ageable and started to run away.
In spite OF all her efforts to check
the speed of the heightened
beast, the latter dashed ahead,
threatening TO overturn or de-
molish the vehicle and seriously
inlure It's occupants. Finally the
young woman was sliced with
a happy thought, and taking a
fresh grip on the lines she deliber-
ately planted herself on the lap
of her escort, who fortunately
seemed to understand what was
wanted of him without any un-
necessary explanation, thereby
preventing a waste of valuable
time. He grasped the young lady
tightly around the waist, and
both together they threw their
combined weight back with grin.
determination. The effect was
magical, for where the horse had
been accustomed to the strength
of one person holding back on
the lines, It evidently gave him a
vertitable surprise to add so
much additional power to the
bits. Anyway. 1t had the desired
effect. and the runaway was
stopped in short order.
OF course the newspapers man
aged to get hold of the story, in
fact they must have had their
special artists right on the
ground waiting for the occur
ance, for they featured it in va
rious WAYS and even published
pictures of the thrilling spectacle
with the young man and woman
riding tandem and holding on to
the maddened horse III his wild
career 1t makes no difference,
however, lust how the papers
managed to get their pictures or
the story. II Is the duty of ev-
cry live and up-tO-date newspa-
per TO be ION the spot" ready TO
get a good stOry no matter when
or where it happens. and also to
publish authentic pictures of the
scene to prove it was no fairy
tale. And that is what the New
York papers did. and there is no
chance for raising a question
while they hold the necessary
documentary evidence.
Just the same, fake or no fake,
the idea Is an excellent one and
furnishes a new suggestion for
the girss of this country. In fact,
it Is a wonder that none of them
have discovered the plan before.
Two can pull better than one on
the bits OF Il runaway horse, and
there are some girls who would
be perfectly willing to risk their
necks with a runaway, Just for
the sake of trying theexperlmeirt.
In fact, it ispOSsible that run
away horses Will become exceed
ingly popular with certain of the
young people hereafter. -Osh-

Our Trade With Japan.

The return of the American
consul to Antung as soon as the
Japanese forces occupied that
place emphasizes once more the
fact that the policy of the "open
door" In the East for which our
state department has been con-
tending is favored by thesuccess-
es of the Japanese arms. Every
American consul is an advance
guard of American trade. Japan
is committed to the "open door"

churia and China and has given
her pledge to the world that il
successful in the present war she
will respect theintegrity of China
and the independence of Korea,
restore Manchuria to Chinese

Roosevelt's Log House.

The commissioners OF the
Worlds Fair at st Louis have
purchased a house supposed to
have been owned by President
Roosevelt when ranching near
Medora. President Roosevelt
was shown the picture and he
believes it is tho house in which
he stayed in 1884 with the
Ferris Bros. The president had
two ranches at Medora, one the
Maltese Cross ranch and the
other the Elkhorn ranch. 1t
looks therefore as tho the CON-
lnissioners propose to buy a
house which Mr.. Roosevelt did
not own. Elizabeth Roberts OF
Medora lived near the'' Maltese
Cross Ranch and often saw
Roosevelt. This WAS several miles
south of Medora. The house
still stands by the road and the
