GIVES AMERICA ALL OF THE CREDIT

Baron Kaneka Says the island Empire Is Pattenng After Our
Ideals in Its Strides Toward Civilization

a test of civilization. In 80 far

we should fail our people,
as 1 have already said, may lose faith
in Western civilization, and neces-
sarily, In America. A defeat may also
change the views OF other less civilized
peoples Of the Orient, who would ac-
cept our downfall as evidence Of the
failure of the very methods which we
have been following for fifty years and
would refuse to encourage the further
progress of civilization in their own
countries.
The hue and cry that has been
raised in several quarters concerning
the so-called yellow peril seems to
me as ridiculous as a statement l read
in one of your papers the other day,
and which, believe. was accredited
to one of your statesmen, to the eff
feet that Japan eventually meant to
gobble up Korea and then take the
Philippines. You may rest assured
that IL Japan defeats Russia she will
make no attempt to acquire any ad-
ditional islands. for she has all she
can do to control those she now pos
sesses and she never has given
thought to the possibility of some day
owning the Philippines AS for any
yellow peril'-that is. a combination
with China, with the ultimate view OF
extending her power across the Pa
clfic-I will say that we, as nation.
are rapidly progressing toward Chris
tianity and any alliance with China OF
the character that has been suggested
would never meet with the approval OF
the Japanese people.
PEACE IN THE EMPIRE
"A strange feature of this war is
the peaceful conditions existing in the
cities and towns OF Japan. While
great armies are mobilizing at various
joints and our navies are keeping our
ports busy. the Japanese merchant and
the artisan are performing their daily
duties in their customary manner. as
If the country were at peace with the
whole world. Our Government has
not permitted its war preparations TO
interfere in any way with its CONNER
cial industries, and while the entire
country's future is at stake the chill
dren are pursuing their studies in the
schools as usual and the colleges are
preparing young men for positions Of
responsibility. While our forces are
battling with our great enemy on one
side of the Pacific Ocean our commits
sioners are quietly engaged on this side
preparing for the ST. Louis Exposition.
the biggest showing Japan has ever
made to the outside world of its COM
mercial enterprises"
Baron Kaneka leaves for the East
to-day. He goes first to Chicago,
where he will be joined by the jap
anese commissioner to the ST. Louis
Exposition. with whom he will have a
long conference, and he will then pro-
ceed on TO New York.

should not this feeling exist? With
out Perry. Japan would not have re-
ceived the blessedness of Western
civilization. With that aid we have
been able to follow you in advancing
our nation to a position among the
powers. America is an example that
is ever before the japanese eye. All
Ministers coming to this country have
received their instructions regarding
the relations between the United
States and Japan. which. during the
last fifty years. have changed only for
the better. The fruit OF our civiliza-
ton was reached with the influence OF
America. Our power with other ma
tions is a gift from America and with
that power we are now fighting
Russia.
IF the American people will only
look back into our history few years
they will readily find the origin of
many influences. The educational de-
partment of Japan was established by
an American. DR.. Murray; the Post
Office Department was organized by
an American named Bryant; an
American established our telegraph
service and an American named Craw-
ford was the adviser of our Govern
ment in recrganzing the province of
Hokkaido. which lies adjacent to the
Siberian boundary. In fact. In every
department of our Government there
are Americans. Large numbers OF
them are in our schools and colleges.
We have sent many young men and
women-Inere boys and girls. in fact

tions of learning. and returned to

A Curious situation In Wisconsin.
The federal authorities Of Wisconsin
are called upon to deal with one Of the
most curious situations that have ever
arisen under the internal revenue laws.
The Badger State, as most everybody
knows has large German population
and is conspicuous for the manufacture
and consumption Of the beverage that

rel of beer. Of course, is taxed, and 1t
is the manner of the taxing, not the
payment Of the tax, that is causing the
present trouble The law provides that
the revenue stamp shall be pasted
across the bung Of every cask, so that
1t shall be Cancelled by the driving In

Now. this may do very well for ordi.

concerned the taste Of the German
Americans of Wisconsin Is as delicate !
as that of the Kentucky colonel who
detected flavor Of leather and Of iron
in a bogshead Of whisky into which a
single carpet tack had fallen. Gus ..
toners complained that their beer tast'

bits OF paper carried on the end of the
spigot favored the entire contents OF
the cask. So the saloon keepers tore
of the stamps and destroyed them in
other ways, aud on this account the
revenue officers have arrested twenty
of them. They are appealing now for
a construction Of the law which does
not compel them to serve an Infusion
Of green stamps as a beverage.
