JAPAN LOOKING AHEAD.

Japan, it seems, is considering the
! ACCESSIBILITY of seeking a loan in this
country and Europe. She believes that
she can raise at home all the money
she will need for carrying on the war
for a year, or a year and a half, and
some of her statesmen are of the opin-
ion that she can fight the war to
finish without resort to outside finan-
cial aid. If the war should be a long
one she would no doubt need outside
financial assistance, and the chance for
getting it now would be better than a
year hence.
The question of the terms on which
Japan could borrow money in this
country or Europe is an interesting
one. It is doubtful if she could get it
at as low a rate of interest as she
thinks she could. While in this coun-
try and England sympathy is with
Japan the opinion seems to be that
Russia viii ultimately triumph. If
that opinion should prove to be cor
rect what terms would she impose
upon japan? Wouldn't the terms be
so burdensome that she would find it
difficult to comply with them? And.
if so, wouldn't the prospect of her
paying promptly a loan obtained in
this country or Europe be very poor?
Japan might be able to float a loan
in New York or London, but it IS
doubtful if she could do so on terms
that would be at all satisfactory to
her. In times of peace her credit is
good and, doubtless, If her war were
with China there would be but little
hesitation in loaning her all she want
ed on very reasonable terms, because
there would be no doubt of her ability
to repay it, but, being with Russia,
her financial resources might be ex-
hausted before the war ended, and, in
addition, she might have to pay a
vast sum as an indemnity. If she en-
tiers the money market as borrower
she may be surprised at her recep-
ton.
And Russia will not be able to carry
on the war very long without financial
assistance, but it is doubtful if she
could get money on as favorable terms
as Japan could. She already has
public debt fully three times as large
as that of this country and her cred
itors in Europe are very uneasy over
the prospect of getting their money.
To France alone she owes nearly ST.
900, 100000, and that fact is the cause
of panicky feeling in the Paris money
market.
Russia, there are reasons for think
ing, would like nothing better than
speedy ending of the war. A London
dispatch says the Car has written
letter to King Edward in which, it
is said, mention is made of eventful
mediation and arbitration between
Russia and Japan. The statement in
the dispatch may be without founda-
ton. 1t, nevertheless, shows what is
in the minds of those who are closely
watching developments of the war.
What would follow if Russia, claim
ing that China had violated her neu-
trality, should advance to Picking?
Wouldn't that bring the diplomats of
all the Powers into action. And when
the diplomats got together wouldn't
there be propositions looking towards
ending the war? There is undoubtedly
a chance for both money and diplo
macy to play leading parts in the war.

One thing notable in connection with
the Mormon church Investigation in
Washington is the straightforward
candor and evident truth with which
the Mormons have answered the ques-
tons put to them by the committee
men. There has apparently been no
efforts at evasion or equivocation.
Even the most damaging evidence has
been given with frankness and firm
ness. The disclosures that have been
made are decidedly unpleasant, but
the manner In which they have been

Palm Beach seems to be running Hot
Springs a close second in gambling
stories this season. That there was a
few weeks ago some big play" at
Hot Springs, when number of promi-
nent New York politicians were there,
is pretty generally conceded, and some
moderate fortunes are reported to have
been lost. The biggest winning at the
springs of recent days was made, ac-
cording to report, by chorus girl,
who took down $4,000 in one session
at roulette. At Palm Beach on last
Saturday, according to report, an Ohio
man lost $4,000.

II would possibly simplify matters
and avoid friction if the government
of the canal strip across the Isthmus
of Panama were vested in the Canal
Commission instead of a board of
governors such as is contemplated in
the Kittridge bill. But to cut out the
board of governors would be to neglect
an opportunity to create more offices
to be filled by faithful Republican
party workers. And it is to be re-
membered that the Republican party
seldom permits an opportunity of that
kind to pass unimproved

There are probably more than hun
dred newspapers in Georgia. Two or
three of them have attached themselves
to the Hearst boom, and half a dozen
others have spoken kindly of the New

selves to him. This does not mean that
the press of the state is for Hearst, as
has been stated. The assertion that
the people and press of the state are

well in a press clipping at the Hearst

be believed even there.
