SIDES WITH RUSSIA.
France Shows Signs of Mixing
In Asiatlc Affairs.

Paris. Jan. IA strong current of
official sentiment was set in motion
today favorable to strengthening the
hands of Russia in her claims to ex-
ercise paramount influence in Man
churia. 1t is pointed out that Russia
having conceded Japan'S paramount in
f1uence in Korea. japan appears to be
unwilling to make a reciprocal conces-
sion by recognizing Russia's paramount
influence in Manchuria. There is rea-
son to believe that the late Russian
note makes clear Russia's attitude and
intentions concerning Manchuria and
how far she is disposed to recognize
Japan's ambitions in Manchuria. The
general purport of the Russian position
is that Japanese merchants and indi-
viduals shall have the right of free ac-
cess to Manchuria for purposes of
does not wish this to be extended to
the colonization of japanese in large
communities in Manchuria.
Strong sympathy is expressed here in
behalf of the Russian view as it is
said that the general admission of Jap
an colonization in Manchuria would
create questions of political and racial
domination. 1t is asserted to be in
the interest of the commerce of Europe
and America that Russia should re-
churia. 1t is also pointed out that
Japan recently restricted the operations
of American insurance companies and
this is cited as evidence that Russian
control of Manchuria is likely to prove
as liberal to American and European
commerce as Japan's.
Therefore it is maintained in govern
mental quarters that it is to the gen
eral interest of Europe and America to
give moral support to a settlement OF
the pending conflict on the basis Of
Japan's authority in Korea and Rus
sia's authority in Manchuria.
Those who are in the best position to
know Russia's intention say her deter
mination to exercise her sphere of in
f1uence in Manchuria is irreconcilable
Owing to Russia's latest attitude in
Manchuria, it is said to be the view OF
official circles here that the main issue
of the negotiations now centers in Man
churia instead of Korea.

The granting of a new trial to the
Ohio murderer, Knapp, who stands self
confessed as the extinguisher of the
lives Of five persons, is another sample
of niscarried justice that tends to pro-
mote mob violence and law defiance.
When such a degenerate can prolong
his life by the aid of judicial red tape
the effect of our appeals for law OBJ
servance in the face of exasperating
crimes is materially acknowledgements
Bee.
Probably the inhiction of the death
penalty has as much to do with the
laws delay in criminal cases, as any
thing else. The idea of deliberately
killing a human being is repugnant to

Mrs. Belle Gray Taylor told the wo-
men of the Minerva club in New York
recently that the modern woman who
gets a divorce does only what our
grandmothers wanted to do" She
might have gone further and told them
that the reason why our grandmothers
didn't obtain the desired freedom from
uncongenial marital bonds was that
such preceding was frowned upon by
the society of that day to such an ex-
tent that few women had the courage
to face the ordeal. It is different now.
Divorced women no longer loses caste,
except in the south. In that region di-
vorces are almost unknown. The rem
edy for the divorce evil lies with so
ciety. Laws of church or state will
do little toward removing it.
