NO one can help but admire the pluck
of the Japanese and the energy
they have shown in acquiring civiliza-
ton. In fact, no nation has ever made
such rapid progress. Less than fifty
years ago Japan was engulfed as deep
in antiquity and superstition as China.
In the Japan of today there is smaller
per centage of illiteracy than among
the Russians. In point of skill in art
and the modern sciences she also has the
advantage over her antagonist. Her
best citizens are sent over here to learn
they return home with new ideas to be
practically applied. That's one of the
secrets of her success. Some Russians
come over here too, but only to escape
the horrors of the Siberian mines.

THERE is crank down East who
once shook the hand of man
who shook the hand of another crank
named Tolstoy. AS result he is a
disbeliever in all forms of organized
government. He also claims to be an
American, is graduate of Harvard
and, worse yet, is poet. He gets
away from rhyme long enough to say
in prose in the North American Re-
view: "Let us take down the beautiful
statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World that brazen lie which casts it's
beam upon Ellis Island and its prison,
and let us put up in its place, an ogre
of iron, grasping gnarled and knotted
club, and casting its baleful shadow
upon the immigrant, an image no
longer of Liberty enlightening, but of
Despotism darkening the world"
Why? Simply because this country
sees fit to exclude from its shores a
man who calls himself philosophical
anarchist" This is the kind of anarch-
ist that breaches the obstruction of
government and does not believe in
hiring others to assassinate rulers. In
other words, he would do it himself if
opportunity afforded. Men of this
stamp are certainly danger to any
country. Yetthis magazine writer will
not concede to Americans their right
to consider anarchists as such and to act
accordingly. How an American can
believe in the no-gOvernment theories
of lot of superannuated soreheads like
Kropatkin, Reclus, Tolstoy and Ibsen
is beyond my conception. They are a
set of misguided fools and when edu-
Gated are just as much of menace ia
American institutions as their daffy
teachers. Certainly no right-minded
person will believe that the United
States would have reached its present
stage of development without system
of government. If all men were NOR.
ally perfect the Tolstoy system might
work. But as they are naturally self
; ish and brutal,-quatities which are
sometimes so strong in person as tc

PROMOTION FROM RANKS.
Length Of Service Requisite to Render
an Enlisted Man Fit for
Advancement.

The splendid service rendered by
those who obtained commissions In the
army following the civil war was
abundant proof Of their fitness for
command The test of war service,
says the Army and Navy Journal, is
one which cannot be equalled by any
system of examination or marking that
may be devised In time of peace
The fact of the qualifications Of an OFF,
Ger as developed under war conditions
Is absolute; the question of probable
efficiency has no definite standard. In
addition, 40 years of military progress
have made the requirements for the
accomplished officer more exacting
than ever before. Now that there Is a
prospect that we may have il appoint
ments in the year to the commissioned
ranks OF the navy, SO long as there
may be 3 shortage Of graduated Off
GERS, and with the reduction Of the
term in the warrant grade SO that the
enlisted man may get to q commission
at some time before his thirties, 1t
would seem that all had been done that
need be done toward making the pro-
motion easier. What Is mainly to be
feared Is that under the stimulus OF
the need of officers the restriction OF
numbers may be removed and a broad
ly framed general provision may maks
1t possible for those to secure COM
mission who would not or could not
qualify under the present restrictions,
On the other hand, promotion within
the limits now set should not be made
impossible through the establishment
Of standards which, however conscien-
tiously adopted, might be found pro-
hibitive.
