JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

Field Marshal Yagamata Is now
quoted as having expressed himself as
realizing the fearful odds against which
his country Is fighting, Russia has
had time to strengthen It's position In
Manchura, and when the war COM
mences IN earnest, Japan may have to
meet force OF 100000 men,
1t speaks well for the prudence Of
the Japanese leaders that they do not
underestimate the strength Of their
antagonists. They are more likely 10
win II they, from the beginning, pre-
pare for hard struggle, than If they
delude themselves by hopes for which
there Is no foundation.
Russia is a country two and half
times as big as the United States, In
Guiding Alaska, 1t has over liOOOOOOO
inhabitants, aud as a grain producing
country It ranks next to the United
States. Japan, on the contrary, has
an area Of only l6l 1853 square miles and
about 100000 inhabitants, In num-
bers and resources the two antagonists
are about as unequally matched as Co
Hath and David. II Japan gains the
victory the miracle VIII seem as large
as that by which the philistlne giant
was sienced forever
10 western observer the question
naturally suggests Itself why did ia
pan go TO war, with such odds against
II? From Japanese point of view,
the conflict no doubt was inevitable,
Japan has Just been awakened from 4
long dream, and II finds It's kindred all
around being slowly enslayed by the
dominant race Of the world. 1t finds
the Chinese, the Molays, the HIndus,
and others, suffering defeat In the bat
lie for existence, II finds Rus
sa pushing It's way east
ward to the ocean. and realizes that her
own turn must come after the ABSORB
ton Of China and Corea, Naturally,
her policy must be to do now whatever
she can, to stem the tide, to arouse her
sumberIng nelghbors to action, and
self-defcnse, Japan finds this to be It's
mission, and II has just entered upon
the performance Of It with all power
and energy II II fails, the fate Of the
yellow race will ultimately be that OF
the black and red races, II It succeeds,
the yellow races are likely 10 combine
ON a program giving Asia to the Asia.
ties. Japan's war Is not merely a fight
with Russia II is an effort to halt the
onward march Of the all-devouring
white race, That she confronts Russia
is mere accident, Had Japan been sit
uatod on this side of the Pacific, the
people would have been attacked by
the savages who obliterated the civili.
cations Of Peru and Mexico, and who
crushed such sturdy fighters as The
Sioux and lroQuoIs, or situated other.

Editor Deseret News:
In an editorial in Monday evenings
News you ask for information con-
corning Mr.. d. II. Bays, who has been
opposing several of the Elders Of the
Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints throughout the east, claiming
that he was at one time member OF
the Church and quite prominent In
Utah.
His statement Is entirely false. Mr.
Bays never did belong TO the Church,
and so far as | can learn was never In
Utah. David ii. Bays. the man In
question, was born In Colorado county,
Texas March 8, 1892 later removing 10
Montgomery county In the same state,
In the latter place he Joined the fol-
lowers Of Lyman Wight: later he moved
10 Beaver Island and Joined James D.
Strang, remaining with him until the
latter's death. In May, 1851 he cast
his lot with the Reorganization and
for number OF years became quite ac-
tive IN their ministry, In the sos he
had falling out with another Elder
Of the Recognized" church, over q
political office. Charges and counter
charges were made. and their dliler-
ences were aired both before commit
tees appointed by that church ana be'
fore the courts Of the land The result
was that the breach kept growing wider
and finally, In 1892, Mr.. Bays rendered
his resignation TO the authorities OF the
"ReorganIzed' church, and since That
time has been fighting both the Church
OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day Saints
and also the Reorganization.
For full particulars, see "The DOC
trInes and Dogmas OF Mormonlsm EX-
amIned and Refuted, by Bays, or The
Truth Defended" by Heman e. smith,

A citizen Of Chicago Mr., Warren b.
Wilson, has applied TO the courts for
an injunction against the expenditure
OF any public money on the Panama
canal. The case may not be pushed,
and again II may. We do not know
who are backing Mr.. Wilson. The
ground on which the injunction Is ask

the appropriation was made. provides
that the canal shall be ON Colombian
territory" acquired from the govern
ment of Colombia and contains sun
dry other conditions that are not com.
piled with. The bill was enacted when
the acceptance Of treaty with Colom-
bla by the congress Of that country
was expected. and before the republic
Of Panama came into existence. Now.
the canal strip was In fact, acquired

LORCH TESTS
 PROTEST FEES.
Over Charge Held to Have Beer
 Made for Protesting Paper.

Little Rock, July "A. A law suit for B cents, trivial as is the amount involved, brought out the remarkable fact that for years the fees for protesting conner cial paper at banks all over the state have been excessive to that amount, and that all along, al- though innocent of any intent to violate the statutes, bank nota- ries have been technically guilty of extortion under the statute. The case is therefore of much interest in commercial and bank ing circles, and of further inter- est because it establishes a prec- edent.
 And although the overcharges in the case at issue, as well as in hundreds of other cases not in- volved, were made in ignorance of the law, and the printed blanks almost universally used throughout the state contain the items claimed to be illegal, name ly, "For fixing seal, 25c," and
 Postage. Sc, ]" the fact remains that according to the statute such overcharges constitute ex- t0rtion, and any one who has paid such overcharges may re- cover the amounts by suit, and in addition $5 for each item of overcharge.
 The possibility of suits by wholesale against notaries who have made such overcharges is only modified by the fact that not many business men whose paper has been protested will care to have the fact known by Swinging suit.
 The test case was that by Louis Lorch against the Exchange National Bank of Little Rock, the latter having protested one of his checks and the notary public, w. P. Rose, had charged the fees which, under the ruling of Judge Ellenbogan, were not in conformity with the new law on the subject.
