The japanese.

There is a widespread impression that the
Japanese are too game for their weight
Emphasis Is laid on their small stature, and
on their number. They are little men. and
there are only forty million people in the
kingdom. But they are very hardy, very
plucky. and are full Of endurance. The
army and the navy are thoroughly drilled
and admirably equipped for war. A martial
spirit possesses all classes and conditions
National pride and real patriotism are not
found in greater degree in any country. Her
people love Japan, and regard her as des-
tined to take a place among the foremost
OF the nations. 1t is this feeling that is
astir in their bosoms now, as they view the
encroachments of Russia, which. to them,
indicate a purpose on her part to cripple
Japanese influence and stunt Js ,anese
growth. They don't propose to die If they
can help 1t. in the aFony of the great bears
friendly embrace. They would rather die
fighting the animal at a little distance.
This martial spirit is developed in the
school days. Lads in the primary depart
ments are drilled and taught the arts Of at
tack and defense. The little fellows divide
up into companies and fight sham battles
with great zest. They are likewise taught
as American school boys are great rever-
ence for the national colors. At the proper
time comes the regular army service, when
the young men are well trained in camp
life. and get thorough seasoning for the
duties Of a soldier. 1t Is as true Of Japan
as Of any country. that she is a nation of
men not only capable of ifs hting, but eager
to fight. for the national welfare.
The national heroes are Of the martial
order. Memories most rsverenced are those
of men who have died for the country. All
the people. from highest to lowest, bow
down before the fame obtained while fight
ing Japan's battles. The glorious death is
the soldiers death. That insures lasting
honor and remembrance.
These are the men then-small Of stature,
but well knit and well trained; not as nu-
merous as the sands Of the sea shore, but
all Of them available for the country's pur-
poses; game as death. and full of the feeling
that. they are being unjustly treated and
crowded-who seem to be on the eve of
going up against the hordes of Russia 8
giants. That they will. If called upon, give
good account of themselves there can be
no doubt: and should they triumph, and
check Russia's game of grab in that quar-
ter of the world. real progress and civiliza-
ton would undoubtedly profit

Though Absent His Voice Was Heard

Whether Mr.. w. ]. Bryan was invited to
the Mcclellan democra tic dinner in New
York last night or not. that enterprising
Nebraska politician managed to keep his
memory green at the feast. Amid the
sound of many speeches5a much violent
language. his message from across the seas,
shortest of all. was one of the most eff
fectfve. 1t was likewise most pointed. In
brief without wasting words at high rate
of toll. 1t served notice upon the assembly
of eastern democrats that they were still
at least by name welded to the western
democrats. THE eastern democracy cannot
do business without me-" said Mr.. Bryan.

ence. My handwriting shall be on every

A 'Philanthropist,
He never built library

He never built library
He didn't have the cash.
He didn't seek to turn the world
From follies vain and rash;
And yet he loved his fellow men
And sought to bring them ease.
He scattered ashes on the walk
When it began to freeze.
And though forgotten by the world
His way perchance he'll go,
The neighbors will remember him
Whenee r 1t starts to snow.
And fame will sound his praise sincere
In humble words like these
He scattered ashes on the walk
When it began to freeze"

Hon. ]. Walter Kehoe, State
Attorney for this, the First Ju.
dicial Circuit, during his term in
Office has made a good record,
one that is not equaled by any
other Solicitor in the State.
During the Fall Term. 1908,
in the six counties Of this circuit
-E scambia, Santa Rosa, Walton,
Holmes. Washington and Jack
SON he prosecuted 70 cases and
secured "a convictions. Again,
since his incumbency, the ex-
pense Of witnesses before the
grand Jury has been materially
reduced; the reason for this is
that instead of summoning all the
witness SEES to appear Finstanter, "
and holding them over from day
to day at cost to the county and
State, and at a great inconve-
lnience to themselves, he has
adopted the plan of summoning
no more witnesses returnable on
any particular day than he can
dispose of.
The records of the several
counties will show that there are
less State cases continued under
his ad ADMINISTRATION than for any
period within the last fifteen or
twenty years; this, too, in the
face of the fact that the popula-
ton of the several counties has
increased and is still increasing.
Mr.. Kehoe is a man of much
legal ability-the very man to fill
the position he occupies-and of
course the people of this circuit
expect to keep him there. 1t is
not at all probable that he will
have any opposition in the APP
preaching primary, and even If
he does have, his opponent would
not have the ghost of showing
for election.

Japan has free schools, relig-
ious liberty and free press; Rus
STA has no schools, bigotry and
religious persecution and a muz-
zled press. The slight conces-
sions made to enlightenment
have been wrung from Russia by
the moral force of the civilized
world. Her peasantry are as
dumb cattle; liberty of thought
or action is unknown to these
white slaves of the white Car.
To such a government we are
not willing to commit a greater
territory than the huge area over
which the Bear now casts his
shadow. Russia must advance
with far greater progress if,
within two centuries. the people
OF the Car are TO be raised TO
that state of enlightened freedom
nov enjoyed by those of Japan.
