The Japanese Home Army.

The military experts who said at the
beginning of the wsr that Japan was
bound to be overwhelmed by Russia, based
their opinion principally upon the fact
that Russia's army was much larger than
Japsn's. Russia had a million men on a
peace footing; Japan 15s, 900. On war
footing Russia counted over three and q
half millions; japan on 632 900.
1t was reasonable cslcuiation-aImost
as reasonable as 1t would be to say that
Turkey could thrash the United States,
because Turkev has 100000 men under
arms, and the United States only $1,000
The authorities who reasoned In this
way seemed to have overlooked the eie-
ment OF time, or rather, they counted 1t
admitted that the Russian forces in
Manchuris might be overmatched at the
start, but they said that endorsements
would be trickling In every day over the
Siberian railroad, SO that in the course Of
six months or year the Czar's forces
would overruu the far East. But they
forgot to consider what the Japanese
would be doing In the meantime. They
forgot that q people alert, energetic,
patriotic and wariike can create an army
IN year.
The war has now been going on for
uehLly Bcttu Iuuutub. utTc Is no reason
why every man sent from japan to Korea
or Manchuria should not have been re-
placed in he ranks at home by another
man taken from the pillow and transformed
by diiigent training into soldier. There
is every reason to suppose that this has
been done, and that, therefore, the jap
anese home army In at least as strong as 1t
was before the first regiment sailed for
the mainland. Probably 1t is stronger.
There is no lack or the raw material OF
armies. Japan has 5000 600 more people
than France, and the organized army OF
France, on war footing, is almost as
large as RussIa's. 1t Is simply question
OF Willingness to as ume burdens, and
certainly japan has shown no lack OF
that. II she chose, she could organize q
more numerous army than Russia could

such an effort In proportion to their pop

days after his return he again assumed his

continued, working up toward the body.
Two weeks ago he was taken down with vio-

On the way down the frightful pains at the
stomach again came on with intense severity.

Enforcement in Hancock County.
On the first Of January a sheriff will
assume Office in Hancock county
pledged in every conceivable way to a
sri and impartial enforcement OF
the prohibitory law. The party which
nominated him pledged him; he was
pledged on the stump, and he has
pledged himself.
He was elected not because he IL
democrat, but in spite of it; because
q large element in the republican
party, believing that he could accom-
plish more in the way of enforcement
than tn candidate of their own party,
voted or him, and he was elected.
Mr.. Mayo, therefore, while nomi-
naliy a democratic sheriff, is really
sheriff by the votes of those who sin
cerely believe in enforcement, and
who voted for him in the belief that
he would strictly and impartially en-
force the prohibitory law in Hancock
county.
Moreover he now has the moral
support OF those republicans who
voted tor Mr.. Whitcomb in the belief
that he, too, if re- elected, would con-
tinue the work he so admirably began
two years ago.
In fact the new sheriff enters upon
his duties with public sentiment over
whelmingly in favor of the cause he
has espoused. He a so has with him
the county attorney elect, Mr.. Wood,
who fully realizes the strength of the
sentiment that resulted in Mr.. Mayo's
election, and who is known to be a
resourceiul and courageous man.
Mr.. MAYO is successful business
man, and not without experience in
public affairs. He is a man of high
character, right principles and strict
integrity. He did not seek the Office
to which he has been elected; it
sought him, and he yielded in the
firm conviction that the prohibitory
law ought 10 be, could be, and If he
became sheriff would be more strictly
enforce than it has been.
While it is doubtless true that there
are many of beth political parties
who are SUR the law but agin' its en-
forcement", it is nevertheless true
that in Hancock county the sentiment
Is overwhelming in favor both of the
law and of it's enforcement.
Mr.. Mayo, therefore, viii enter
upon his work in the full assurance
that public sentiment, the law, the
pu@iic prosecutor and the court are
heartily with him.
He very wisely does not say that he
will put stop absolutely to the ille-
gal sale of liquor throughout the
county, but he does say that he will
enforce the law to the best of his
ability; more than this cannot rea-
sonably be required of him.
Elsewhere in this issue may be found
au open letter from Mr.. Mayo to the
people of Hancock county in which
his already we'll known views on en-.
forcement are briefly but plainly sci
forth. A list of his deputies closes
10 letter.
