Imposing on Neutrality.

Yesterdays news contained infor-
nation that the Korea, Russian war
vessel, was somewhere off the north
west and making for the port of Ia
coma.
While there remains uncertainty as
to the exact location Of the Korea,
and some doubt as to its purpose, the
feeling in shipping circles is one Of
uneasiness, and actual shipments are
at a standstiu. Not a single trans
Pacific bottom will leave Tacoma
until the Korea has been placed
definitely under the jurisdiction Of
the Federal authorities and deprived
of all power to work mischief
To be thus annoyed by Russia is a
strain upon the courtesy that has &C
tuated the United States to be strictly
neutral. There is no disposition to
aid one hostile force as against the
other, but there is a cordial desire to
be undisturbed as a return for consid-
Grafton thus shown. Tacoma IS the
important port Of the northwest, far
exceeding In the volume of exports
and imports any other port IN the
Puget Sound customs district, and be-
ing measurably approached only by
Seattle. From Tacoma 1t is the wont
of great freight carriers to go to al
quarters of the globe. One line has
its regular course from Tacoma t
Liverpool, touching at the islands and
in the Orient. Others reach only al
far as China and Japan. The business
done by these liners represents an i'm
posing share of the total commerce o
the Pacific Coast, and no thanks ar

Spirit of the New South.

The newspapers Of Virginia are
quoting and commencing with spOn-
taneous enthusiasm the address with
which Dr. Edwin A. Alderman as
sumed his chair as president of the
University OF Virginia No one who
has read any portion of it will be sur
prised. 1t is throughout on the same
high plane as this single paragraph:
The South has something, believe me- precious
and distinctive IN manhood and character 20
contribute 70 American life 1t shall be a subtle
blend Of the old spirit which did not know how
to compromise and did know how to die for a
faith, and the new spirit which looks at life
with wide. clear. steady eyes, and which has
been beaten by freer civic forces into finer and
more efficient form. In the sweet justice Of God
you and those IKE you in our sister colleges
shall become Of this mold. and il is for you TO
help US make Of this noble foundation the place
Of central importance in the historic outworking
Of this new type Of personal culture and social
efficiency.
That Is, we think, an ennobling ex-
preston Of the spirit Of the South
land of today. It has the ring Of
manhood, OF worthy pride, OF uplift-
ing ambition for the land which the
true Southerner loves in a way nc
NOrtherner can understand.
The South is now in the leadership
of such men as Dr. Alderman. Those
men have great and battling problems
to solve-the regeneration of wasted
farms; the subsection of pride above
manual labor among the white mer
who comprise naturally the local sup
ply Of white labor; the development
in the negro of a self-respect which
will keep him out of corrupt politics
and make him a guardian OF the
women Of the South instead of {
shameful menace.
They are meeting those tasks witt
the high spirit voiced by DR.. Alder
man. And while that lofty spirit pre-
walls they do not need any help from
the North.

murders as this in New York city
during the present month. There is
not one chance in a thousand that
the extreme penalty will be visited
upon a single offender. In all prOba=
bility most of the guilty will go free.
When a murderer, his guilt certain,
and perhaps with a score of witnesses
to proclaim it, is arrested in this
country, there is no occasion for him
to feel apprehensive. When he has
been tried and an adverse verdict rem
deTed, it does not mean that he is to
be inconvenienced seriously, but that
he is to have a second trial. He can
have these trials in series while his
money lasts, or his pull remains eff
fective, and in due time will get a
verdict agreeable to him, or a dis
gusted prosecutor will nol-pros the
case.
Equal immunity is given to the
large offender in other lines of Grim
inal achievement. The man who
steals a chicken or utters a S3.75
forgery is the one who may expect no
pity.
In theory the people Of this country
respect the law; as rather distress
ing matter of fact they do not re-
spect it. They insist upon enactment,
but enforcement does not occur to
them as q necessity.
Thus, men act upon murderous i'm
pulse unrestrained. They know there
is nothing likely to mar their pastime
| OF assassination.
There are about 10000 homicides a
year in the United States. 1t is a
shameful record, and people who are
confident of their own responsibility
and personally wouldn't harm kit
ten, are responsible for 1t.

600 pounds, about a pound and a
quarter for each citizen.
American raisins-which are pro-
duced almost exclusively in Califor-
nia-are superior in every way to i'm
ported raisins. They can also be sold
cheaper. Yet about 100000 pounds
of imported raisins were sold last
year In competition with the domestic
crop; and this figure takes no account
of the S8,0OO.O 900 pounds of imported
currants sold in competition with
California-grown currants OF a su-

CALIFORNIA; fruit growers do not
lack for enterprise. Their failure to
obtain the market to which normal
laws of trade entitle them is due,
therefore. to some other cause. II
the growers will canvass Washington
markets they will discover that cause
without much trouble. 1t is plainly
this: They are charging too much
for their wares.
The raisin is a good food. Doctors
have testified by the score that 1t
does not superinduce appendicitis. 1t
is almost universally popular. If once
the growers are willing to sell If as a
food and not as a luxury they will
not be bothered by any leftover sup
