Judge Belknap's decision on the
eight-hour law has brought upon him
self the wrath of n party leader or
two. 1t is certainly queer state of
affairs when in the discharge of his
duty, cannot render a decision with
out being subject to the unwaranted
criticism of party leaders, and their
avowal to defeat him for future politi-
cal positions. The sooner such a state
of affairs is sat down upon by the peo-
pie, the better il will be for the future
welfare of Nevada, lfany party lead
er or class of men is to dictate the
rulings of a supreme Judge that
moment the intent of the constitution
VIII be thwarted, and the man with
The longest ''saek' will rule. Judge
Belknap is fearless, incorruptible
official, and the people of Nevada
should strive TO keep such n man in
such position. Democrats, we call
upon you TO do your duty toward n
worthy man, who has always stood by
you, and forever squelch such methods
as are now being employed against
Judge Belknap. IL is not only dis
grace, but disgusting, to think that
any man should have the effrontery
to attompt to rule the decisions of q
supreme judge of Nevada. Wells

~ JAPAN ~
EYER People and
IA Customs II II

spoke of the war now going on. In it
Japan is fighting for National life.
While China has been gradually alb
sorbed by the great Russian Empire
Japan was determined that she would
not be swallowed also and it was neces-
sary TO stop Russia before the latter
took possession of Corea as she had of
Manchuria. Russia promised the
powers to evacuate Manchuria on the
7th ofOetober 1903. When that date
came she was still there. and refused
TO think of leaving, but on the con-
trary kept pouring in soldiers and war
equipment, menacing Korea. Japan
pleaded in vain until February. and
then strickland struck quick and
hard Mt her mighty antagonist. If the
Russians were taken unprepared, it
was their own fault as the documents
show that diplomatic relations had
ceased so me time before.
In the war the japanese are showing
the same excellent fighting qualities
displayed in reseuing the foreign le-
cations at Pekin during the Boxer
trouble. There, their courage, their
discipline, their knowledge of con-
ditions, their endurance and their
equipment astonished the world.
Even their medical equipment was the
best of all the allied troops They re-
fused TO delay the advance to Pekin
and arrived just in time to save those
imprisoned there. The legations
could not have held out - hours
longer. As to the "Yellow PERIL, it
is nonsense, aptly oaricatured by KEEP
pier in Il recent cartoon in Puck.
Those who read only of the yellow
PeriP' as imagined by novelist should
remember also Napolean's prophecy
that lin 100 years the world would be
either Gossack or Republican," The
Cossaek i'm control of the Chinese is a
greater menace to the world than the
Jap. He is not educated like the
Japanese, nearly all of whom read and
write. The Japs teach English in
their schools. the japanese have
scrnpulonsly fulfilled their duties as
nation; they give freedom of trade.
freedom of religion. Do the Russians?
They have established a constitution
al government; they are industrious.
charitable, law abiding and contented.
Compare the lowest order i'm Japan
with the lower order in Russia in res
pect to cleanliness, treatment ofthe old
and feeble, obedience to law, educat-
ion in everything that speaks of
civilization and see which is the great
peril, the Cossack or Jap. Compare, too,
their wealthy men, their statesmen
with those of other lands in respect to
patriotism and consideration for the
general welfare of other nations and
their own people. And think that 30
years ago they were living under a
feudal system. Feudal lords in huge
castles, surrounded by moats, each
with n small army of two sworded
retainers. Think of all this and you
begin to understand why the sympa-
thy of the foreigners in the Orient has
been with them in their courageous
struggle and why we too, at this time,
join in the cry "Banzai Dac Nippon

His first glimpse of a Japanese home
was had when he called to present a
letter of introduction TO the President
of the Imperial University at Kito.
At the entrance he and his friend had
to remove their boots. They were
then given light slippers with which
to walk along polished wood corridors
to the Presidents room. On entering
this the slippers in turn were laid off
and the visitors stepped on the matted
floor and there sat down on their heels
in approved "Samurain style. There
are no chairs in Japanese houses
One must sit in the orthodox position
that "Bushido' demands, as To lounge
is very disrespectful. However, since
the position soon grows painful to
foreigners, they are generally re-
auested by the Japanese to disregard
the polite position. AS the President
did not speak English, the conver-
sation was carried on in French. Mr..
Ferguson states that many of the
Japanese mobiles are excellent French
scholars. The doctors, however,
speak German and read German text
books. They have splendid hospitals
all over the main island and i'm Hako-
date, Sadporo and Otaem, the largest
cities in the Hakkaido the northern
island. At Sapporo there is n large
agricultural college, and with some of
the Standard Oil representatives, he
had the pleasure of spending the sum
mer there, and seeing fine imported
horses, cattle and implements, such as
one would meet with on an up-to-date
American farm. The Hokkaido was
the only place in Japan, however,
where he saw any thing resembling
American farming. All over the main
land the railroads travel through
paddy fields of rice. The fields are
separated by little divides about two
feet high and look about the size of an
ordinary dining room. Men and
women work with untiring industry
in the field, often standing up TO their
knees in water The country is
wonderfully green and fertile; rain
falls continuously. Contrary to what
seems general the opinion here, Japan
has cold weather in parts Of the Em-
pire. Some years ago a whole regi-
ment of soldiers perished in a snow
storm and at Aomori the snow fills the
streets SO that the people tunnel across
through it. The side walks are cov-
cred there by permanent snow sheds;
yet in Yokohoma, further south, they
have roses at Xmas time out in the
open air before the houses on the bluff.
There is no prettier or healthier resi-
dence site in the world than the bluff
in Yokahoma, High thick hedges en-
circle the grounds; beautilied by grace
ful palms and miniature mountains,
lakes and bridges, built by japanese
gardeners. The Japanese gentlemen
everywhere take special pride in their
Niwa or garden. They are great
lovers for nature.
After some further talk about the
delightful Geishas, the men pulled
Mckshaws, the food, the theatres with
revolving stages, the huge wrestlers,
the schools; the Shinto, and Buddhist
religion as to all which we hope for
further interview. Mr.. Fergerson

Frank X. Smith was born in Erie
Ohio, December IL, 1922,
and died at his home in this city,
October 2, 1904, being thus near the
close Of his eighty-second year.
He was born of sturdy New Eng
land parentage and early learned

character of manhood. He remained
at home until he was of age. giving
his father the benefit Of his labor.
In 1874 be was united in marriage
with Miss Elizabeth Minkler Of Erie
county, Ohio, and together they
moved to Steuben county, Indiana,
remaining there but short time ere
returning to Ohio where they en-
gagged in farming until: 1858. In
that year they came to Iowa, Mr..
Smith purchasing one hundred and
twenty acres at $3.50 an acre, in

The Lawyers at St. Louis.

The American Bar Association
and International Association of
Lawyers and Jurists held joint
session for five days in Festal Hall
on the Exposition Grounds at St.
Louis last week. Duly accredited
representatives from fourteen differ
ent nations were present, and the
total attendance was about one
thousand.
was the greatest assemblage Of
distinguished lawyers and jurists
ever held in this or any other coun-
try. The papers and discussions
furnished rare opportunities for the
requirement Of correct knowledge
on many subjects, but the lasting
benefits of the session, the portion
Of the work destined to outlive all
that is material of the Great Ex-
position, can be properly classed
under two heads:
l. Uniform legislation in the
several states on subjects likely to
affect the people, or many of the
people, of the whole country.
2. The establishment of ma
tional court, in which the disputes
between nations shall be adjudi-
Gated much the same as those be-
tween individuals are now settled.
