SYMPATHY WITH JAPAN.

In the war between Russia and Japan popular
sympathy has been running fulltide in favor Of

In comparison with Russia Japan is little ma.

no history, says the Tacoma Ledger. 1t requires

people, with their ports shut up against European
trade. Civilization advances through foreign con-
tact, mainly through commerce, and it was only half
century ago that our Commander Perry succeeded,
by diplomatic maneuver in opening the gates Of the
Japan sea to the fleets Of the world From that date
the tremendous reserved force Of the japanese was
let loose. Their progress was phenomenal.
European civilization was eagerly studied.
Young men of talent and promise were sent out

native land. These student emssaries were particu-
larly fascinated with what they could learn in the
United States. It's democratic institutions pleased

studied by them and some of our distinguished edu.
Gators were enlisted in aiding them to organize a
like system in their country, with grades and nor,

classes without restriction under its wing.
All this went on with startling rapidity and we
are amazed to think how speedily all the essential
features of our western civilization were shipped off
to Japan.

reader and larger than elsewhere witnessed in the
world 1t is said that Japan made greater progress
in all that pertains to highs grade civilization in
six years than the European nations did in 600 years
The assertion is not extravagant 1t is one thing to
invent and another thing to import, European
nations had to invent and we know that invention
follows the long and winding trail of necessity and

up and importing what the great Aryan peoples
have developed through the ages looks like miracle
to us, who are fated to go along at slower pace

What astonishes us is the amount of brain power
they are able to bring into war. Much we do not
like to think it. war brings into requsition the high

THE NEW YORK STATE OUTLOOK.

A thing that puts to confusion all estimates and
guesses as to the outcome of the approaching election
m this state with regard to state officers is the slump
that occurred two years ago in the total vote of the
two great political parties for the same complement
Of officers as compared with the total vote of those
parties in 1900, says the New York Commercial.
That vote in 1900 amounted to 1,49S, ,592, where
rs in 1902 it amounted to only 1921, 1914 decline
Of 177095 or nearly II per cent The aggregate vote
for the republican and democratic candidates for
governor in 1902 was only little over $4,000 more
than it was far back as 1885, although it is obvious
that the number of republican and democratic voters
m this state had in the meantime enormously ncreas
ed and that there must have been still greater
increase since 1902.
1t is noteworthy, too that the great bulk of these
stay home voters in 1902 was to be found in the
upstate counties Of the 7095 loss in the total re-
publican and democratic vote for governor n1902 as
compared with the similar vote in 1900 over 121,
600 was due to stay yathome voters in the counties
sutside of New York, Kings, Queens and Richmond.
While the latter counties contributed 40 per cent Of
The total republican and democratic vote in 1902,
they contributed only about 80 per cent of the total
falling off in the vote question.
It is only natural that there should be decline
N the popular vote in off years, and in this state
the great preponderance of the decline is usually
m upstate counties in most of which many voters live
miles away from the polls. Most Of these counties
are habtually republican, and in presidential years
at least in recent presidential years-they gener-
ally return pluraties, more or less heavy, for both
the republican national and state tickets Independ
snt voters are found mainly in the cities.
Predictions therefore to the result in this state
specially state officers, are largely worthless be-
little information is at hand to tell which way
this unknown quantity of stay-athome voters in
1902 may cast their ballots in November. That the
mass of these voters republican in politics is
fair assumption, and unless there is more evidence
Of republican dissatisfaction in upstate counties than
now manifest the latter will probably roll up their
customary pluraties for the republican national and
state candidates In this event the democratic ma
tional and state candidates win have to look chiefly
to the cities for triumph in the Empire common
wealth.

in the world.

The disposition on the part Of seacoast news
papers to show up their grain shipments is commend
able as evincing desire to advance the interests
of the towns in question, but the papers frequently
make themselves ridiculous in parading their ship
ping statistics This is particularly ture of the
newspapers of the nothwest each of which works to
outdo the other The results are not infrequently
most laughable.
The Portland Journal is one Of the enthusiasts
there are three Of them in Portland-and in its
Tuesday issue informs its readers, in red headetter
that Portland is in the lead-that the wheat ship
ments from that sport for the month of September
were the largest in the United States! One would
naturally suppose Portland had made record that
justified red ink and front page position, but he is
woefuly in error. Portland shipped less wheat dur
ing the month in question than during almost any
other month of the year. The exports aggregated
113091 bushels, one lone cargo having been sent
away. San Francisco exports totaled $1,000 bush
els the Bay City holding second place in the record
for the month.
Now, there was story in connection with the
The fact that Portland should have headed the list
with trifing exports Of 113091 bushels was in itself
remarkable condition Of affairs, and along this
line very presentable story might have been writ
ten But there is no cause for any elation. The rec
ord is not one Of which Portland could possibly be
proud, for it was unusually below the average.
Rather, it was something of which Portland might
well feel ashamed.
The desire to advertise the seaport is uppermost,
however, and the Portland papers, as well as those
of the sound, will probably continue to startle their
readers with sensational headlines over articles that
have little or no commercial significance.

The most accurate clock in the world is in the
basement of the Berlin observatory, and has been
running since 1855 when 1t was set up by Professor
Forester. 1t has often run for three months at a

thousandths of second. But it is not accurate
enough to suit astronomers and the clock is to
