HOW THE JAPANESE
PREPARE FOR WAR
~ York Press.1

Ever since Japan's war with China,
when part Of the fruits OF her victory
was taken from her by the powers at
the instance of Russia, Japan has been
preparing for war with Russia. This,
says NJ. Yamada, one Of the foremost
Japanese in New York, is the reason
Japan is so well equipped for war and
why she was able to deliver a stun
ming blow to Russia even before Russia
knew war was at hand. Himself an
officer in the first reserved he is well
posted on the military affairs of his
country.
we have seen for ten years" he
said, that there was war ahead and
Manchuria was TO be the battle-ground
We would have had Dalny at the end
of the war with China. but Russia
stepped in. If she had been alone we
would have fought her then, but the
other powers were with her. Perhaps
1t is better that we waited. We have
n better navy now and a better army
Then we were tired and somewhat
crippled, but we would have fought Just
the same. We were mad. Since then
we have trained our army for lust

winter campaign. our soldiers do not

Arthur His small, little frame was
alert in an instant.
Splendid. isn't it?' he said. eagerly.
1T is typical Of the spirit of our people.
It's the bravery, the dash. That's what
makes an army or a navy. It's lust
like Weihaiwei. You remember that
battle in the war with China? It was
after the battle of the Yalu river.
What was left Of the Chinese fleet
went to Weihaiwei and put torpedOes
in the harbor to protect themselves.
The commanders of some of our tor
pedO boats went to the admiral of the
fleet and begged him to let them go
into the harbor and blow up the Chi
nese fleet. They knew the chance they
took, but it was for the country and
the emperor. They slipped in under
cover Of night and blew up several of
the Chinese ships. how many I have
forgotten. But not all escaped as they
did at Port Arthur. One boat went
down with her commander on deck
Go on. so on; don't wait for me- he
told the other boats, and he went
down. he and his men. standing at at
tention. That's the spirit that wins
battles, the bravery, the valor. That's
the spirit that made the English navy.
That's the way our men did at Port
Arthur. OF course. they knew the risk.
but what is that when the life of the
country, its honor. is at stake?''
How will it end? There's only one
way. Japan must win. Why, we never
think Of anything else. VIII It be

THE sHocKLEY VERDICT


he VERDICT OF the jury in the
Shockley case, murder in the first
degree without Il recommendation of
mercy, is exactly what the public ex-
pected. The jurors had a most unpleas-
ant duty TO perform. No man with
humane instincts in his breast takes
any pleasure in sentencing a fellow
being to death. To most men life is
very sweet. They have hardships and
illness and debt and encouragement,
dishonor. often. but they cling TO life
as their most precious possession.
The jurors in the ShOckley case
realized all this. but they realize. too.
the Justice of the old law: Whose
sheddeth mans blood. by man shall
his blood be shed" ShockIey was
guilty beyond the peradventure Of a
doubt He went, armed. to rob a street
car conductor He went prepared TO
kill If resistance was offered him. In
carrying out his purpose he did kill
Two men, men with families dependent
upon them Their blood cried out. not
Tor vengeance. but for justice.
There was nothing in the evidence
produced at the trial TO show that the
miserable defendant ever earned an
honest dollar. His early environment
was good. He had a good home and
the affection Of an honest father and
mother was lavished upon him. They
and the mans sisters did all they
could to keep his feet in the path Of
righteousness. of honor and of good
citizenship. In spite of their efforts
he strayed into criminal paths and the
logical sequence Of his career is the
SYNONYMOUS death the law says he
must now meet.
Shockley is repentant TODAY.
He is thinking Of his family and
friends, he is weeping over his mis-
spent life. His tears flow too late. His
thoughts of his relatives come now
with poor grace He should have
thought OF all these before he emptied
his murderous revolver into the bodies
of MOtorman Gleason and Conductor
Brighton. Opportunities in abundance
were offered him before he committed
murder II he neglected them it was
his own fault, not the fault of the

LAsoR LEADERS AID BRIDES

A LAW Is PENDING in the New
y York legislature making it n fell
ony 20 bride or attempt to bride Ia
Dor leader. The recent strike in the
New York building trades has re-
veaIed numerous cases Of bribery, It
ia alleged. Men who are bribed have
been punished. as in the Parks case.
Tbis IS an injustice that viii be ap-
parent 70 all fair minded men. The
man who gives a bride is as mean and
low and base as the man who takes
a bride. and the punishment in one
case should be az severe as the pun
ishment in the other.
1t is claimed that during the late
New York strike fifteen Of the seven
teen firms making up the association
% cabinet makers made up large
purse which was expended in bribing
delegates to the United Board OF
Building Trades to induce them to
rive representation TO the Brother
hood OF Painters. The purpose OF this
alleged bribery was to give the en-
Movers a chance to break the strike
By employing brotherhood painters In
stead Of members of the Amalgamated
painters. who already had representa-
ton in the United Board.
Bribery of this character is clearly
against public policy. 1t is intended
10 give one side an advantage over
the other. a most unfair advantage,

Once There Was a Horse.
Chicago Tribune.O


Once there was & horse that became
enviOus of the stump tailed thorough
breds he saw on the boulevards.
One day when he was in his stan
he gnawed all the hair off his fine
long tail as lar rs he could reach.
Now he said, TN I'm fashion"
But when he tried to associate with
the abbreviated thOroughbreds they
turned W their noses at him.
Hes an upStart and an imitation"
they said. Besides. rs tail is still a
great deal too long"
Neither would the horses in his own
class have anything TO do with him.
Hes a disgrace" they said. An
he needs to do now 10 make Mis-
souri, mule Of himself is to lengthen
his ears"
1t took that horse a year to get
back into his former station in So
ciety.
From this, my dears, we should
learn contentment and several other
things.
