A NATION UNPREPARED.

TF'rOm the Wall Street JOurnal1
Estimating the population of Russia
at 131 100000 and of Japan at 100000,
Russia has the advantage of nearly
three to one. and when three men are
fighting with one the latter has a poor
show of escaping alive.
But the advantage of numbers, which
is on the side of Russia. may be coun-
terbalanced by other considerations
which are favorable to Japan. For in
stance, Russia is unable at least for
long time, to concentrate its pre-
ronderating strength. If the three men
fighting the one cannot unite their
forces, it is possible for the single man
by meeting his antagonists one after
the other to vanQuish all three. This
in large measure is exactly the stu
alton. Japan is close to the seat of
war. Her entire military strength can
be easily concentrated early in the war
at the given point of attack. Russia,
on the other hand, is far from the scene
of the conflict The bulk of her mill
tary resources must be transported
over 5000 miles. She has a railroad
but this is a new single track line, in
adequate for the demands now put
upon it, and is moreover a source of
weakness to Russia because hundreds
of miles of it must be protected by
military force. and a railroad. like
chain, is of no account if broken at any
point.
But this is not the only advantage
which Japan enjoys. The Orientals are
VIGOROUSLY frugal livers, and the Jap
anese, although they have advanced
far in the pathway of civilization, and
have copied many of the habits of the
white races, are still able to live on an
amount of food which would be en-
tirely inadequate to other people. 1t is
said that the cost of a Japanese soldier
is only $40 a year, at which rate an
army of 100000 men could be supported
at a yearly outlay of only $1S,000 600.
The RUSSIAN. on the other hand. is. as
Shylock said of his servant, "a huge
FEEDER and it not only costs more to
keep him going. but this also necessi-
tates the TRANSFORMATION of a vast
amount of food supplies.
More important still is the fact that
the japanese know what they are
fighting for and believe thoroughly in
the war they are waging. There is pro-

CY LELAND TALKS

land unhesitatingly declares it as his
opinion that the new machine will be
for Burton for reelection to the senate
# he is not convicted.
Mr.. Hoch's county was one of the
first to declare in favor of Burton be-
fore he was elected" said Mr.. Leland
and the senator from Marion county
voted for him. 1t is my opinion that if
Burton was not now under this cloud
he would be the leader in this reform
movement as his influence is appar-
ent. These fellows are for Burton as
they are for Kelly first, last and all the
time, and probably for the reason that
both are equally dishonest.
The charge that the Hoch faction
has been naming men for the state sem
ate and Legislature who viii vote for
Burton is doubtless true. I know it is
true so far as some senators are con-
cerned and I suppose it is the same
way with Representatives.

THE WICHITA CONVENTION.

At the present writing, the Hoch fac
ton of the Republican party appears
determined to nominate for state treas
urer T. T. Kelly, confessed embezzler
of funds from Miami county, and will
do it's best to secure the denomination
of A. D. Walker on the board of rail-
road commissioners. The Hoch move
ment pretends to be one in the interests
of purity in politics, for reduced taxa
ton and reform generally.
Yet its whole efforts today seem bent
on renominating the one man on the
state ticket who has been charged and
proven with corruption and who did
more to increase taxation on general
property than any other one person by
raising valuations thirty million dol
lars on all property. except the rail-
roads, and by reducing valuations in
his own county and a few other coun-
ties.
Eighty-five Republican newspapers
oppose Kelly, yet the Hoeh dictators
are likely to ignore their warning.
The shippers and receivers of freight
in Kansas are most unjustly dealt
with in the matter of rates. Many peo-
pie are convinced that the growth of
Topeka and the state is retarded by
freight Determinations in favor of Kan
sas City, and of rates out of all pro-
portions to rates paid in Iowa, Illinois
and Missouri. Mr.. Walker has been
conceded to be the representative of
the railroads rather than of the people
on the board. If the Republican party
renominates him, it may expect the
united opposition of the federated ship
ping interests.
With the denomination of Kelly the
Democrats will have the opportunity
of obtaining that Office If a well known
man of integrity is named.
The nomination of Kelly and Walker
may please the politicians, but the peo-
pie may make the party pay for it at
the polls.
The nomination of Kelly would also
mean that the Republican party of
Kansas is not in harmony with the ma
tional administration, which believes in
ferreting out and Furnishing corruption
in office.

7, a review of the business conditions
during the month just closed r. G. Dun
& CO. says:
When the month opened there was
every indication of Improvement IN
business, and the first two weeks MADE
a most favorable comparison with the
preceding month and the corresponding
fortnight An earlier years. But disas-
tiers were numerous, and although moth
ing of a permanently disturbing nature
occurred, there was much to produce
temporary embarrassment Outbreak
of hostilities between Russia and Japan
eenoralized the foreign bourses and
precipitated much liquidation of securi-
ties at great sacrifices. Large inSolv-
ences occurred in Europe, and added tc
the pressure here. Two men high in
this country's financial life were sud
denly taken away, which had an unset
ting influence on the properties II
which they were interested. A most dis
astrous fire in Baltimore and severa
smaller CONGREGATIONS elsewhere de.
stroyed much property, and in addition
to the individual losses five insurance
companies at Baltimore suspended, witt
an aggregate Indebtedness of abOu
three million dollars. Violent specula
lions in grain, cotton and coffee caused
extensive losses among traders Wh'
were on the wrong side of the market
and, what is more significant CONNER
cially, the VagarieS OF quotations proved
disastrous to many engaged in the legit
innate handling of those products. Tn
net result was the heaviest total of liza
bilities for the month of February in TIL
last decade, and larger losses than il
any month of recent years, with the ex
ceDtion of the four Immediately pre-
ceding. In addition to the other dis
turbances, the weather was agains
trade, severe snow storms and low tenn
perature causing delay and loss. Il
view OF the many untoward circum
stances crowded into the short month
additionally shortened by two holidays
there is evidence of a much better un
derlying condition in the smallest liza
bilities of any month since last Septem
Der, and careful analysis of the failur
statement discloses much that is brigh
with hope for the future.
