No Rest Needed Says Mr.. Sage.

New York, June 2.--In an article
under the caption, "The Injustice Of
Vacations" the Independent quotes
Russell Sage to the effect that he
never has taken vacation in his life;
that the vacation habit is the out
growth Of abnormal or distracted
business methods" and that
man is less fitted to do good work
for his employer after two weeks
rest each year than he was before.

New Depot Ordered
7he Railroad Commission Uphods the Justice of lexington
Request for DEPOT at Wilson, Crossing.

The railroad commission ordered
the erection of a passenger depot
near Wilson's Crossing, at its meet
ing last week. Public convenience
and the ultimate interest OF the road
would be greatly benefited by this
change. 1t would be boon, not
only to the people of Lexington, and
to all the people in the county, but
to everybody who travels to Lexing-
ton. 1t is hoped no further obstruc-
tlons will be put in the way of this
greatly desired improvement, which
will certainly prove beneficial to the
railroad as we'll as the public.

Affords a suficiency of water for four

should be placed in the middle of
zach side of the square. Piping would
'nly be required to be laid around
The square near the pavements. A
'ew hundred feet Of hose in addition
would be some protection to the busi-
less houses on the quareagainst fire.
This is a subject Of public interest

deserves.

SENATOR HANNA
LOSES STEADILY
Condition Precarious Even
Without the Dreaded Com
pliCationS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 11.-Sen-
ator Hanna's condition is very serious,
If not precarious. His physicians real
ize this and are watching the case with
the greatest concern. The senator is
considerably weaker today, and as a
result his pulse run up at 6 D. m to
1O4. The increased weakness is the
direct result of the fever, as the off,
cial bulletin shows there were no COM
plications The physicians hope that
the fever has reached its worst stage,
but whether or not it has they declare
they are unable to say. They are
simply waiting for developments and
realize the patient has lost ground the
last two days.
Stimulants have been given the SEN
ator during the day and show bene-
ficial results. He rested well during
the afternoon and has retained the
nourishment given him during the past
tWenty-fOur hours.
This latter feature Of the case is en-
couraging to the physicians. Ex-
traordinary precautions are being talk
en- to insure quiet in and around the
hotel, so that the senator may get all
the natural sleep possible.
The motormen of the street cars, al
most block away, have been request
ed not to ring their gongs, as their
sudden changing sound seemed to irri-
tate the senator. After the evening
visit of the physicians, Senator Hanna
slept an hour and a half which con-
siderably refreshed him.
The following bulletin was issued to-
night:
AT p. m. Senator Hanna was rest
Ing quietly. His temperature, taken at
o'clock. was 1922; pulse, 104; respi-
ration, %. There had been no change
In his general condition since the
morning bulletin was issued. He re-
tains all the nourishment given him
for the past twenty-four hours. There
are no complications"

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE thirty
second annual dinner of the Silk Asso-
citation of America was held at Del
monico's tonight. 1t had been expect
ed that the Japanese minister, Kogoro
Takahira, would be present to respond
to the toast, "Dai Nippon" Great ia
pan, but he was unable to leave Wash
ington and sent a long telegram in
stead. His speech was read by Con-
sui General Uchida, of this port. 1t
says:
Today. when the struggle of life is be-
coming more acute for men and nations
nothing could be more gratifying to, me
than the kindly and sympathetic greeting
of this important American commercial
organization If this can be taken as an
evidence of recognition on your part of
the unallOyed and genuine nature of our
good intentions in endeavoring to elimi-
nate in the far East the obsolete ideas
and practices of despotism in order to
transplant and foster the germs of mod
ern civilization brought to Japan by that
gallant son of America, Commodore Per-
ry. shall feel that we are well repaid.
l take it for granted that the present
crisis in the far East is a matter Of grave
concern to you. l hope that l may go
farther and assume that in some measure
at least the opinion you have formed is
favorable to the cause which my coun-
try represents. But whatever your atti
tude may be, it is not to your sympathy
but to your Judgment | would appeal. I
do not seek to gain from you a larger
measure of good will because the inter
ests of our countries in the East are to
some extent identical. No one speaking
with knowledge in Jaban's behalf has ever
made that plea. All who are familiar with
the Eastern situation know that a num-
ber of the powers have interests in COM
mon in China-interestS of the greatest
value.
Motives Not AItruistic.
this faot ofborS aOTo11xy ruou

as pretending that she was acting from
altruisttc motives, presumptuously arro-
eating to herself the role of champion of
a common cause. Nothing could be farther
from the truth than this cunning device
to arouse prejudice and befog the actual
situation. Japan took the initiative be-
cause the impending peril, while it
threatened others in a measure was to
her matter of far greater moment. If
the valid interests of other countries were
to a certain extent the same as hers 1t is
an added proof of the justice of her
cause not good reason for accusing her of
presumption or temerity.
The position assumed by japan was the
logical result of her environment and Of
the lneXorable necessities of national safe
ty. Considerations not merely of self-in-
tereSt or Self-reSpect, but of self -protec-
tion have led her to where she now
stands.
The burden upon the nations resources
is not light one, but think of the in
uetn1tely heavier burden Japan would
have to bear IT, instead of her present
neighbors, a potential enemy of uncertain
purpose and overwhelming strength were
firmly entrenched upon her very threshold
It is this contingency against which we
have to guard, but in attempting to do so
we have never sought to impede in any
