The Men.

lat the annual banquet at the chic
club for men in a certain district TIN
topic, as Society an Organism or al
Organizations" was discussed for sevcra
hours.)
They say that women's clubs are deep
Beyond all comprehension;
That women take mental leap,
With brains at loose tension;
Right straight at knowledge'svery heart
And scatter it to flinders,
Then coolly land without smart
Surrounded by truths cinders-
But then
Did YOU ever hear the men!
They say that women almost sink
Beneath the weight of learning:
When their clubs meet they only think
They'll try to be discerning,
But founder wildly in the mass
OF facts on all known matters.
And though from chaos they may pass
They leave the theme in tattcrs-
But then
What of the men?
They say that women lose their heads
When meeting opposition,
With voices high and faces red,
They seem bent on perdition.
They glare about with angry scowls,
When silenced for the minute.
Then argue wild in shrillest howls
When told that they're not "in it -
Put then
So do the men.
To ind the darkest, hidden deeps
Of topsey-turvey learning.
Opacious thoughts with sudden leaps
Toward questions new and burning,
Or views on themes so very wise,
And cautiously related
That one cannot to save his ewes
Say what the club has stated
But then
Go hear the men. Club Woman

THE WAR

Owing to the tact that the Japanese have cut
some of the cables, the news of the war IS
rather vague. Enough is learned, however, to
show that Japan is winning victories right
along.
New complications seem to be setting in that
will assist the Japs. In 1876, Russia took
Bulgaria from the Turks, who now see an OPP
portuuity to "get even" by waging war on
Bulgaria. Russia is bound to protect Bulgaria,
and this will take thousands of Russian soldiers
who would otherwise be used to try to subdue
japan.
It is stated that an army Of 10000 Chinese
soldiers, acting independent of the Chinese gov
ernment, are aiding Japan.
Thousands OF Japanese soldiers are now in
Manchuria, and will carry on the war as ag-
gressively as on the sea.

SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
EDITORS AG1TAToR:


am asked, How many .T,panese there
in the United States who are na'ulaliz4d ci!-
liens of the United States!
From the best information | can get, taken
from the United States census of 1900, there
are nearly $4,000.
am next asked, How does the neutrality
proclamation OF the United States relative to
war between Russia and Japan effect them?
answer, it affects them the same as any
other citizen of the United States.
am asked, What would you do in their po-
sition?
answer, if wanted to engage in the war,
| would go to Japan and enlist. If I didn't
want to take part, would remain in the Uoii,o
States and do just as any law abiding citizen
of the United States would do.
am next asked, What will be the result as
to the United States if they take up arms?
answer, if the United States permits any
hostile expeditions to be effected against Russia
in any United States territory, the United
States would be liable to pay such indemnity to
Russia as proper tribunal might award under
the law of nations. The individuals efecting
such expeditions would each BEL liable to prose-
cution and punishment under existing neutral
ity laws of the United States.

The republicans have majority in
the present house at Washington of
about 80, and a net loss of 16 districts
over the country in the fall elections
would make the lower branch demo-
cratic. 1t would thus not require great
revulsion in political sentiment to take
the house away from the republicans.
The ruction in Wisconsin may easily
cost them three or four districts. They
may feel very sure of the presidency,
while at the same time being honestly
alarmed about congress. 1t will, there
fore, not be wholly trumped-up cry OF
alarm which will be raised to bring out
the campaign contributions. But as
long as the presidency and senate re-
main secure, why should the tariff in
terests care whether the house goes
republican or not? Possibly they do
not. Besides, they have certain num-
Der Of Gormanites upon whom to depend
In an emergency. So all seems quite
serene for the infant steel industry, the
tin-plate babe and the trust cherubs in
general. Their protection il entirely
