THE REASONS FOR THE JAPANESE.
RUSSIAN WAR

The real causes of the war between
Japan and Russia are thus clearly and
simply set forth by a writer in the April
issue of Success:
The provocativcs Of the war between
Japan and Russia have long existed. For
many years, more especially since the con-
nct between China and Japan, the Japan
csc have watched the advance of the Rus
slams In the Far East with considerable
anxiety. Japan has seen that the main
object Of her encroaChment has been to
possess the whole of northeastern Asia,
and she has recognized. with all the in
tensity Of a possible victim. that the ac-
conplishmcnt Of such an intrusion would
destroy her island kingdom as CONNER
cial and Independent power The argyll
ment which was advanced by Russia to
induce Japan to restore Port Arthur to
China. after the Chinese-Japanese War.
Is applicable with double force to the pres
ent case. Russia saw that Japan had
gained an unprecedented footholld III a
territory that bore vital relation to her
destiny in the Far East. and forthwith
began to make 1t absolutely uncomfortable
for Jap pan by overshadoving her with ships
and batteries.
1t may be said that Russia has not at
tempted to absorb Corea but. also. she
has not threatened to absorb Manchuria.
Her original promise was that Manchuria
was to be returned to Chinese rule. and
she even set a time Wnen neT troops were
to be withdrawn. To put it frankly, Rus
STA has not kept her word To-day Man
Churia is nearly as much a Russian
province as Siberia. Japan. therefore,
mistrusts her great adversary When she
demanded the complete independence of
Corea and the complete restoration OF
Manchuria to China, it was with full mis-
givings that Russia would not accede.
Japan. although an intruder in Corea
nearly or quite as much as is Russia in
Manchuria, has been the practical ruler
of the idle unnmbitious Coreans for many
years. The mikados realm is gradually
growing too small for the energy and
growth of it's forty-hve million inhabit-
ants and its people ask. why should they
not emigrate to the mainland? If they
do, 1t means that the Manchurian railway,
which the Russians have built to connect
the Trans Siberian railway with south
ern ports. will be obliterated as a dis
tnctly Russian line. and that Russia 8
commercial ambitions will receive Il So
we're setback: hence the underlying rea-
sons which make the Russian side OF the
grievance.

TO THE REVIEW

was so as County Superintendent
of Schools and in the Legislature,
and he is not reformed any; if he
was the Middlebourne Star would
oppose him. We do not want any
man elected to an office that is
against any section of the county.
We want an independent school
district, our city charter amended
and perhaps other legislation that
cehcerns no one but ourselves.
Hill is against these things or any
thing we may want, no difference
how meritOrious our demands
may be. There are better men for
the position than Gregory in our
opinion, but as to Hill or Gregory,
the latter is so far ahead of him
there is nothing to make a COM
parison about. Hill will poll prac-
tically the solid vote of Middle
bourne, simply because he is
against Sistersville. They know
he is against Sistersville and I'm
ion and Lincoln districts, or they
would be solidly against him.
There is no more doubt about
this than there is in the Ohio river
flowing south. We have openly
challenged Mr.. Hill to define his
position, we are ready to publish
his answer, and we again chal-
lenge him to declare himself on
our wants. Will he vote for our
Independent school, our amended
charter and such legislation as we
may want? If he will, let's have
his answer now. But there will be
no answer from him this row Of
corn.

At this time the many candl-

they find the Daily and Weekly
| Oil Review is read in more homes
in this county than all the other
county papers combined, and that
the people turn to our columns to
get the county news and the truth
on all questions of interest. This
is certainly fattering to us, and
we appreciate the unsought COM
pliment. We publish every week
nearly 5000 copies of the Weekly
which we believe is the largest
circulation in the State outside of
Wheeling, of any weekly paper in
it. Our daily is nearing the 2, ,OOO-

county regardless as to politics.
We are independent, but never
neutral. We endorse every good
thing and oppose all that we be-
lieve is wrong. The people know
this, and hence, we have influence
with our patrons. We may make
mistakes, but they are errors of
the head, not the heart. We op-
pose Hill for the Senate simply
because he has been tried in the

feated-as he ought to be. Sis
