A MATTER OF EDUCATION

People generally are amazed at the
successes of the Japanese. Their dash,
courage and pluck are manifest. Their
alertness and fighting qualities were
shown in their war with China but peo-
pie did not expect much from China
and expected rather different results
when the Japs attacked a modernized
nation.
One of the surprises is the extent of
made that Japan has carefully pre-
pared plans. long since matured, for all
her early movements and the precision.
accuracy and success of the opening
engagements would indicate the asser-
ton Is true.
The truth Is that Japan has been for
years educating her leading men for
just such an emergency. When the
Japanese nation awoke from medaev-
aiism she instituted a custom of send
ing her promising young men abroad
for instruction Many journeyed to
England. others to Germany but by far
the greater number came to the United
States. Yale. Harvard and all leading
American institutions have i'm the past
twenty years had Japanese students
and graduates
These We're young men of great ma
ture ability ambitious and forcefu
working steadily and earnestly for d
purpose. They became scientists, pro,
fessional men and skilled mechanics
and when they returned to their native
land they took the best of modern Ideas
to put in operation in their own coun'
try.

FIGHTING THE ELEMENTS

The war situation as far as Russa's
advance is concerned takes on the ma
ture of a tragedy. Asiatic Russia Is
locked in the terrors of a Siberian
winter.
The thermometer ranges from twenty
to fifty below zero, and the Billiards
of an Arctic winter sweep down upon
the barracks where the Russian troops
in temporary quarters are waiting
transportation over the only available
route now blockaded by snowdrifts and
frozen waterways.
All of this illustrates the disadvant-
age of Russia in conducting a war at
this time and points to disaster II the
fortress of Port Arthur gives way be-
fore the Japanese attack Japan has
easy access to Korea and Manchuria
and is pouring thousands of well armed
and we'll provisioned troops into the
country between Port Arthur and Vlad-
livestock.
On the other hand Russia's fleets are
tied up In ice-locked seas and Rus
sia's reserve forces Fastening to the
aid of Port Arthur are losing their
vigor fighting for life in the rigorous
climate that prevails at this season of
the year in Siberia.

Honor Among College Boys.

Few people will question the JUS
tice of the punishment, severe as it
was, which has been melted out to the
Princeton students who confessed
their violation of the high standard
of honor which obtains at the college
of New Jersey in the matter of crib
bling at examination times says the
New York Sun. Honor is something
that q not be trifled with ard the
sooner a young man finds it out the
better.
The Princeton faculty seems to have
trusted 20 fully to the honor of the
students as to neglect ordinary pre-
cautions for the protection of its ex-
animation papers. These were prin-
ted at a printing house Of the town
where touts OF various descriptions
had possible access to them. OF
course, under such circumstances the
peddling Of examination papers for
sale among the students is inevitable
and it is not surprising that occasion
ally a college boy should yield to the
temptation to break his individual
pledge.
In this ase the detection of the Of
fenders and the infection OF the PEN
atty were due to the fellow students
engaged collectively and systematical-
ly in maintaining the honor of the
college and their own. The incident
is creditable to Princeton.

The withdrawal Of the last of the
troops OF the United States from the
Island Of Cuba-the Republic of Cuba,
rather-marks the lastimportant step
in the requirement of independce by
the island of magnificent resources.
1t is useless now to discuss what it
was that brought on the war with
Spain. Whether it is to be found in
causes reaching back for generations.
whe her it is was because Of the indig-
nation over the treatment of the o
fortunate Cubans by General Weyler.
or whether it was because of the
wrath that followed on the destruct on
Of the Maine-whether it was any q
of these, or whether it was from some
other cause, is now a question purely
academic. The war with Spain came
from some inevitable cause, and man.
ifest destiny was not the least Of the
moving factors in bringing about the
conflict.
With the departure of the last
Spanish soldier from Cuba came the
guardianship of the United States and
the establishment Of the Cuban Re-
public, and with the sailing Of the
last American soldier from the island
comes the completion Of Cuban inde-
pendence. The Republic of Cuba now
has her deStinies in her hands,
and 1T is to herself and to the right
appreciation OF the Cubans of the
blessings and benefits of freedom that
she must look. Rightly appreciated
she will not look in vain.
In material wealth she is abundant
ly blessed. Her soil is fertile, her
climate is salubrious, her people have
been taught the benefits OF sanitary
measures and yellow fever is and has
been a stranger to her since the day
the Spaniard, departed and the Amer
iricans took over the island in trust for
the Cubans.
IL was fitting that there were ad-
dresses OF con graduation and of re-
gret over the establishment OF the
new republic and the going Of the men
whose love for humanity and whose
strength of arm and of purpose made
that independence a possibility and
then an actual fact. The going of
the troops from the island shows the
god faith Of the United States to-
ward Cuba and to the world. 1t m
phaS1zes the fact that the war was not
prosecuted for conquest, but for hui
manity and for freedom, and the
world Will give due recognition to the
fact.
Cuba is better of without Spain be-
vond the shadow of a doubt, and
Spain. relieved from the heavy bur.
dens imposed upon her by q of
her grasp on the island, and because
of the enormous expense entailed on
her treasury in efforts to hold that
which inevitably, was to pass from
her control, will be better able to
work out her destiny, and she has her
part in the economy of nations. In
time manifest destiny may again
move the Cubans to knock at the
doors of the United States for admis-
sion as a territory-but that is another
story. Today it is the Republic Of
Cuba-may she live long and prosper.
