The secret OF japanese virility and
progress doubtless lies In the fact
that the Japs are hybrid race.
While they have n good per cent OF
Mongolian blood In them. this Is by
no means pure. In fact many incline
to the belief that the predomi nat ing
strain IL Malay. 4 French scientific
observer estimates that the race Ia
made up Of six-tenths Malay, three.
tsnths Mongol, aud one tenth mixed
races. The emperor himself Is said
to closely resemble the Malay type.
1t il generally conceded by stu.
dents Of antbropology that race by
bridization tends to the development
Of more vigorous people, especially In
cssss where there 10 no radical dis.
tinctness In the amaleamating spe
cies. Japan is an instance, and
meidaeval Venice might be sim.
ilarly classed. Our own country Ia
also u notable example. In oppo.
sition to this view II has been urged
that mulattoes are of inferior vital
ity, inheriting the inhrmities aud
vices OF both parents; but this posi-
tion Ia not supported by any very re-.
liable proof. Darwin, In discussing
the nature aud value of specific char.
acters as applied to the races of man
In the evolution of distinct peoples,
has dealt somewhat eXhaustively with
this phase of the subject. He con.
cludes taat both animal aud vege.
table hybrids. when produced from
extremely distinct species, are liable
to premature death; but on the other
hand, whe such is not the case. that
IL to say, when the species are not
extremely different. the tendency Is
towards increased vitality and vieor.
The Japs come under this category,
aud are u notable instance IN support
Of the argument. On the contrary,
the Chinese are perhaps the purcst
blood In the world. and their lack of
the characteristics which are bringing
the Japs to the front Is too we'll
known tn deserve comment In this
connection.

inRly lame in trying to defend her
resistance to Russian encroachment
in China is that ut this moment she
is ip open alliance with q power. In
comparison with whose exploits In
the way of land. grabbing. those OF
Russia are as water unto wine.
There Is not quarter on the globe,
China included, in which Great
Britain has not seized territory to
which she had not a morsel of moral
or valid claim, and although II was
barely yesterday that she appro.
priated the Trausvaal by sheer force
of arms. this ally of Japsn has the
effrontery now to SGT herself up as u
defender of the integrity of China.
"It Is largely on account of Great
Britain's notorious record rs land.
grabber that there IL considerable
undercurrent of popular sympathy in
the United States with Russia IN the
present struggle In the Far East
Nations as we'll rs individuals are

cation Of the Raines law, the people
of the state at large are we'll satisfied
with 1t and will not stand for any
change. So in Maine the "re-sub-
missipnists" cut little figure politi-
cally. Even the rum sellers are In
favor of the existing state of affairs,
since 1t Is more profitable to them o
sell without license.
II we're far better to exact less
stringent laws aud see that they are
strictly enforced. An unenforced
law works a vastly kreater harm than
no law at all. There is an undercur-
rent of awlessness among the Amer
ican people which finds encourage
ment in the laxity of exacting obedi.
ence to existing regulations. A pro.
hibition law that prohibits would no
doubt he a good thing, but one which
even the liquor dealers themselves
favor, Is worse than none at all.
The example of a broken law unpnn-
shed Is vastly worse and more far
reaching In its effects toward encOur.
aging lawlessness, than provision
of questionable liberality strictly
enforced. The one invites infraction
while the other compels obedience.

Paducah Will Not be in it With
Cairo.
Cairo Says a New League Will Be
Formed, Known US the Inter
State League.
OTHER LATE BAsEBA' NOTES

The rupture between Paducah and
Cairo at the close Of the recent X. |. I.
season bids fair TO be more serious than
at first thought. Few people had any
feeling at the start, except good natured
rivalry, but il seems that this has de-
veloped into a hostility that seems to
spell a breakup of the X. /. T. league.
While the patrons of the game in both
Paducah and Cairo will probably regret
such a serious elimination, those who
own the two clubs, or at least the Pa
ducah club, do not seem 10 desire any
further relations, and Paducah is trying
TO get into the Central league.
Whether or not she will succeed, and
whether or not she could stay in a
league that Evansville couldn't hold out
in, are matters left to the future, but
il is stated authoritatiyely that Padueah
will not be- in league with Cairo again
as long rs the franchise is owned by the
gentlemen now holding ii. Preparations
are being made TO recrganize the league
judging from the following from the
Cairo News:
THE name of the new league will in
all probability be known as the Inter
State League, Successors TO the Ken
lucky. Illinois and Tennessee League"
Secretary Fallell. of the National Asso-
citation. has stated that under this new
name the reservations of the clubs in
the old Kitty League, Hopkinsville and
will be made members of the
new league although they will be known
as "non-paying members" This will be
done in order 10 protect their second
payments for drafted players.
Secretary Farnbaker has given out
the information that he is at work pre-
pairing a report Of all the assets and
expenditures during the season. and that
when completed he will mail every team
in the league a copy sr
