japan MAKES A FUSS.

I APAN is MAKING an unseemly up
roar about the passage of the Baltic
fleet toward Manchurian waters. She
claims that supposedly neutral nations
have been helping the fleet on it's way.
This is probably correct, for every ma
ton seems to have its own idea as to
what constitutes neutrality. There is
no general code on the subject that all
nations are required to follow. except
i'm a few specified cases. and these
cases are treated with an undue degree
OF laxness.
The other day, speaking Of the Baltic
fleet. the japanese minister in London
said: "The japanese feel strongly that
Europe in general is assisting Russia in
a way that we never contemplated. 1t

Japan, especially since the Dogger

than to Russia. That. however. is be-
side the question. We are surprised
that japan should want the passage of
the Baltic feet delayed in any way.
Rather would we think Japan would be
anxious to get a chance at those ships
at the earliest possible moment
In all of the naval battles thus far
Japan has showed her immense SUPER
iority over the Russians. The japanese
fleet now assembled either I'm Man

Baltic feet. 1.-THE issue of the conflict
can hardly fail to be favorable to the
japanese. And that's why Japan
should want TO get hold of the Baltic
ships. The sooner they are disposed OF

The arrival of the Baltic fleet can
hardly delay the capture Of Port
Arthur or do the garrison there the

necessary. send golfers to meet the

NO TARIFF REVISION.

2 o THE TRUSTS are to have at least

prosperity The official announcement
from the White house that there is to

consider tariff revision must have been
very satisfactory tidings to the trust
magnates. And in proportion as the
trusts are pleased the people win be
disappointed.
There were indications that some
thing in the line of tariff revision was
under contemplation by the president.
Revisionists in the Republican party
certainly gathered from talks with the
president the impression that he would

measure tighten the burdens the people
are now obliged TO carry. When his
message was read and was found TO
contain no reference whatever to this
vital issue it was thought that he would
have something to say later.
This hope has now been dispelled. or
practically so. Some influence has been
brought to bear on President Roosevelt
to induce him to stand pat" We do
not know what this influence is. We do
not know whether the recently reported

advocates, the granting of subsidies as
the best possible method of increasing
the number of American ships. The
League says. true. that it is not bound
TO any particular method, but il adds:
From a study OF the evidence taken 1t
would seem hardly possible TO carry the
matter forward without government aid,
yet it also seems possible to avoid in
the beginning any charge ard through
out to avoid undue burden on the gem
eral treasury by imposing tonnage dues
similar to those abroad and permissible
by precedent and under the laws Of trade.
Speaking generally and assuming, as
seems possible, that Ii can be worked out
equitably it is-clear that any aid should
be devoted to steamers regardless OF
speed. and to sail vessels upon proper
tionate basis of actual service. or, to pre-
vent excessive cost of administration,
probably better to be based on approved
statistics and tables of comparative abil-
sels.
This amounts practically TO advocacy
of ship subsidies. to the filling OF the
treasures of shipbuilding trusts with
money taken out of the pockets of the
people. The Herald has always been
opposed to ship subsidies. It is OPP
posed to them now. We fail to see any
good reason why wealthy shipbuilders
should be further enriched at the ex-
pense of the general government.
| There is nothing worth listening to in
the cry that American-made goods
should be carried to the uttermost parts
of the earth in ships flying the Ameri-
can flag.
This is a practical, not a sentimental
age. American manufacturers who sell
goods in foreign markets do not ask
whether or not the ship that is TO take
the goods away sails under the Ameri-
can flag. The question that interests
them most, and the only question that
interests them greatly. is the question
of freight rates. Nobody has been
foolish enough to go on record as say
| ing that the American manufactures
has been handicapped in foreign mar
kets by the lack of American merchant
vessels.
1t adds nothing to the value of the
merit of articles made in the United
States to send them away in ships
built here. The foreign purchaser has
no interest in the carrier, His interest
is in the goods. If the goods are all
right and if the price is right he buys
them. Otherwise he does not buy
them. The subsidy viii not make thte
slightest difference.
And the subsidy will make no diff
ference to anyone except the ship
builder, Him it viii certainly make
richer

JIM sRIDeER. PIONEER.

II HE UNWILLING of a monument to
the memory OF Jim Bridger, scout,
guide, trapper and pioneer, at Kansas
City on Sunday is Of more than ordin-
airy interest here. Bridger was the dis
coverer Of Great Salt lake 1t was
Bridger who welcomed Brigham Young
and the first company OF pioneers to
this inter-mountain empire. and he
gave them much valuable information
as to the character of the country and
its possibilities. A monument would
seem TO be due TO Bridger in salt Lake.
Whitney's history of Utah says that
Bridger's discovery of our big lake par
took of the nature of an accident. II
is set forth that in 1926 nc was trapping
with mis- men in Cache or Willow val
ley, in the Bear River region. The
men became involved in an argument
as to the course of the Bear, and a
wager followed. With a small party of
men Bridger followed the course of the
Bear until it led him to what we know
as Great Salt lake
The following year he took four
comrades and, emharking i'm skin
boats, explored the lake. They found
no outlet but came to the conclusion
that it was an arm of the Pacific ocean,
little realizing the vastness OF the terri
o tory between the lake and the ocean.
Others have laid claim to the honor of
discovering Great Salt lake, but, as Mr..
Whitney says in his splendid history,
the claims of none are as well authenti-
Gated as those made by and for
Bridger. But, as has been said, the dis
covery of the lake is not the only debt
Utah owes to Jim Bridger
Mr. Whitney tells how, after the
first company of pioneers had taken
the California road at the place where
the Overland trail, established by
Bridger. forked. Colonel Bridger and
two of his men were met Colonel
Bridger told all he knew about the
country, which was good deal, be-
cause every mile of it was familiar to
him. He advised against the bringing
OF a large colony into this valley before
il had been shown that grain could be
raised successfully. and offered to give
Sl,0O0 for the first ear of corn raised
here.
The history from which these facts
are taken does not say whether or not
Colonel Bridger was ever called upon
TO buy that high priced corn.

Force of Habit.

An amusing example of how q habit
becomes fixed was afforded some obser-
want citizens during a couple of days
last week. A fence that had extended
across the sidewalk in front of a build
ing in course of construction was re-
moved. For several weeks the fence
had stood across the sidewalk and hun
dreds of persons daily walked around it,
After it was removed and the sidewalk
restored dozens of persons found them
selves unconsciously starting toward
the center of the street when they
reached that point. There was no
reason why they should not continue
in the middle OF the sidewalk, yeJ, -
firmly fixed had the practice Of walk
ing around the fence become that
many found themselves stepping across
the gutter before they realized the side
walk was clear. Perhaps you did it
yourself.

: oLDTIME SERMONS.
overgenerous Measure of oratory
From the Preachers.

IOIu the EI6dcu6lS.
Bishop Weldon in the Ninteenth
Century,
There is no doubt that a good many
sermons are dreadfulIy dull. But It
is an element in the difficulty of
preaching that clergymen, in prepar-
ing and delivering their sermons. are
practically debarred from adopting
some accepted oratorical means Thus
the use of humor in q sermon is al
most unknown within the Church of
England. Non conformist preachers,
like the late Mr.. Sturgeon. have some
times employed humor IN their ser
mons with striking effect When he
preached (if the store is true) upon
the Martyrs Memorial at oxford, and
asked where il was possible to find
martyrs al the present day. and sug-
gested that if the bishops and clergy
of the Church OF England were the
martyrs they would be sure to burn
well. they were so dry, he resorted
to device which might or might not
be allowed and approved by his own
congregation, but would certainly CRATE
upon the critical taste. of our church
men.
Time was when sermons. like speech
es were subject to interruption, as
Chrysostom's We're, for example, at
Constantinople; and the Interruption,
IL il was disturbing, was enlivening
There is. indeed, story that Chrysos-
tom once preached a sermon against
the practice of applauding preachers
by clapping Of hands and stamping of
feet. and that his congregation re-
ceived even that sermon with applause
But piety. or perhaps decorum has
long since forbidden the expression OF
approval or dissent in churches. 1t

Mark Pattison, with all his knowledge,
was. perhaps, difficult man TO get

him, he snubbed you. II YOU plunged into
deep and weighty matters, he exposed
your ignorance.
"A youth once took an afternoons walk
with Pattison. The latter was silent. The
youth talked o fthe birds, the trees and
the flowers. but he got no reply. Then,
quite irreleVantly. he said with a pOmp-
Gus air, that Euripides was richer in hui
man interest than Aeschyius.
