THE DIFFERENCE

A question has been raised as to the justice of the conclusions arrived at by the Daily Alaskan that the disasters which have followed the Russian arms in the Orient are due to iucOmPentency and corruption in high places which are beyond remedy because that coun- try Is a monarchy in the government ot which the people have no voice. It is said in answer to this position that Japan is also monarchy, and that Rus sian defeats cannot be taken as the vic tories of a free people.
 It is true that Japan is not a repub- lie, but it is a limited monarchy, the popular branch of the law making power of which is chosen by popular election. However, this is not the main reason why the conditions in Japan are not those that naturally re- suIt in countries where the powers of govern ment are placed completely in the hands of the common people. At the present time the Japanese people are swayed by a peculiar but iervent DatriOtisu which has inspired all strata of society in that land. A ianaticism, peculiar with Oriental peoples, such as for generations at time has caused Asiatics to seek the opportunity to die for their religious convictions, just now is operating to take the place with the Japanese Of the patriotism which in other countries comes from arealiza- tion on the part of the masses that they are the government and that when they fight a national foe, they fight for their own rights as treemen.
 Unless the Japanese nation, like that of Great Britain and other limited monarchies, shall continue constantly to increase the extent of those functions of government exercised by the com mon people and to corresponding eN- tent curtail those that are now en- loved by the royalty, the fanatical pa ,riotism tha, induced the thousands to give up their lives at Port Arthur in a hopeless service to their emperor the other day will subside, and Japan, like China. will become a playthiug for am- bilious peoples who know more taan they of the pleasures of being free,
