WAI IuEN1IdDly tAHASSS llle ldc6 OI things, and nowhere is the change felt so kcenly as in the nation that exerts itself prodigiously apd to which war is a comparatively new experience. It seemed at one time that Japan would score q point with Russia quickly and be able to return to those peaceful ae- tivities which have been her ambition. Now that her ruler predicts a long war and her energies are put to the utmost strain the future of the people is a, subject of interest. The late Laf- cadio Hearn was respected by the Japanese reviewers of his writings about their country as ia thorough master of the subject" His last book, Japan; An 44ttempt at Interpreta- tion,' deals with the social and conn., mercial problems confronting the Jap anese, and he takes q gloomy view of her fitness to compete with western nations. He says: !. Those who write to-day about the. extraordinary ca pacity of the Japanese for. organization and about the democratic spirit of
 
 the people as natural proof of thefH fitness for representative government in the western sense mistake appear ances for realities. The truth is that the extraordinary capacity of the Jap anese for communal organization is the strongest possible evidence Of their unfitness for any modern demo cratic form of government. Super ficially the difference between Japan csc social organization and local self government in the modern American or the English colonial meaning of the term appears slight, and we may justly admire the perfect self-discipIine tof Japanese community. But the real difference between the two is fundamental, prodigious- measurable only by thousands of years. 1t is the difference between compulsory and free co-operation-the difference be- tween the most despotic form of com munism, founded upon the most an- cient form of religion and the most l highly evolved form of industrial | union, with unlimited individual right of competition" The time has not yet arrived, this observer declares, when Japan can safely cast away her | whole past and achieve the results she enyies ill western peoples. There have been indications within the past ten years that European powers have feared that Japan might become q great factor in the east and form an ] alliance with some modern nation able to direct her destinies. Mir Hearn sug- gests the danger of Japan's subordina. tion to some stronger force, but rather through conquest than by m alliance. To him the domestic future of Japan is dark. s'Born of that darkness an evil dream comes oftentime to those who love Japan, the fear that all her efforts are being directed with desper, ate heroism only to prepare the land for the sojourn of peoples older by centuries in commercial experience
 that her thousands of miles of rail roads and telegraphs, her mines and l forges, her arsenals and factories, he1 docks and fleets, are being put in order l for the use of foreign capital; that hel l admirable army and her heroic navy may be doomed to make their last sac ritice in hopeless contest against some

TICKET is A WINNER
So SaysE. II. Hobe of Johnson
and Winston

The final announcement by John A.
johnson that he would be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor was received with unnixed
pleasure yesterday by E. II. Hobe, who
had himselfi been urged by many
friends all over the state to become a
candidate.
Numbers of the leading men on the
Ramsey county delegation had ex-
pressed a wish to vote for Mr.. Hobe,
but he had been unable to give them
any satisfaction in their inquiries as to
whether or not he could be considered
a candidate. Several days ago, how
ever, Mr.. Hobe told his friends that
under no circumstances could he aban-
don his large business interests On so
short notice, and that while he was
thankful for the assurances of their
good will and those of other friends in
different parts of the state. not this
year could be be a candidate. Since
then newspapers in various parts or
the state have suggested Mr.. Hobe as
candidate for secretary of state, but
his excuses as to the nomination for
governor hold equally good as to any
other nomination on the state ticket.
Mr. Hobe said yesterday:
Please say for me that, although /
never was a candidate,aI am grateful
TO Illy z1IleiiuS= lI1IOuSu0uL -tlC pa eC oiiO
ST. Paul for their good will and 1nten-
tions in mentioning me as the PROB
able nominee for governor on the DEM
ocratic ticket this fall The induce
ments I have received from Democrats
all over the state have certainly been
very fiattering, and it was hard for me
to resist the tempting proposition: but
it is very difficult for man in my po-
sition to turn loose from his business

know what Lam talking about when |
say that never in the history CT our

better chance to elect a governor than
they have this fall

street. was found last evening hoatlng
in the river among water-soaked logs

BEDE HAD NO CHANCE
BouteIIe, of Chicago. Talks
Nearly Two Hours

Henry Sherman Boutelle. a Repub-
lican congressman, of Chicago, who is
on the committee on rivers and har-
calling list.
r. C. Dunn, Republican candidate
for governor looks askance at Bou-
telle, and talks in a horseradish voice
when speaking of the Chicago spell
binder
Boutelle prevented j. Adam having a
chance at the West Duluth Republican
club Thursday evening, and when
Dunn talked the hour was so late that
most of the members of the club read
his speech in the newspapers yester-
day instead of hearing it from his own
lips.
Boutelle was invited as a matter of
courtesy to speak to the Republican
club at West Duluth Thursday night
Dunn was there to open his campaign
for governor, and Bede figured that if
he talked to the club then he wouldn't
have to speak at West Duluth later in
the campaign.
The Chicago congressman was given
the right of way and he kept it inter-
minably. He discussed every phase OF
-.
Roosevelt higher than Duluth's back
bay region and scored Judge Parker
and the party of which he is the can
didate. Boutelle is a spellbinder, and
he talked without interruption for just
an hour and three-quarters. J. Adam
who was on the cards for speech
held the watch on him.
Then Dunn came on and read a long
prepared speech, freely mingled with
statistics, and relieved here and there
by characteristic filings at the enemy
He had to go the limit with his speech
because it was all tied together an6
he couldn't well cut it. The train came
along at 11:22 p. M, and Dunn wa.
still talking. He had not sinned az
| heavily as Boutelle, but between then
they had cut j. Adam Bede out of al
opportunity to talk to his constituents

STIN[ WILL SAY
BONDS WERE HIS
Witness Testifies That Late
w. A. Scott Said He Would
Take Care of Stine

1t was made evident in the police
court yesterday at the hearing OF w. l..
Stine, charged with stealing $4,000
worth of Southern Pacific bonds, the
property of the estate of w. A. Scott,
that the defense will be that Mr.. Scott
made Slime a present Of the bonds.
Harry C. Hope, superintendent of
telegraph and signals for the Omaha,
gave evidence, to some extent, corrob-
Grating what will doubtless be asserted
by the defendant when he takes the
stand. Hope was under cross-examt-
ination at the time, after having told
that he was very intimate with Mr..
Scott and was present at the latter's
death. In answer to a question from
Attorney Oppenheim if he had talked
with Mr.. Scott concerning Stines the
witness said:
while talking with Mr.. Scott one
day some time before his death he
said that he hoped that he would live
for couple of years, as he desired to
be able to do something for several of
his railroad friends. He mentioned
Stine, spoke Of the MANY favors Slime
had done for him and said that he in
tended to do something for Stine.''
AS the witness had been called by
the prosecution his admission that Mr..
Scott had stated that he intended to do
something for Slime created much in
terest. Witness was sure that Mr..
Scott used either the expression that
he intended to "do something for" or
that he intended to take care" of
Stine.
Easy With Murphy
James P. Murphy who admits that
he negotiated the bonds in the East,
was on the stand, but added little to
the evidence given previously. The at
torneys for the defense did not ask
Murphy embarrassing questions, and
but once approached point that ap-
parently worried the witness. This
was when Murphy was asked if he did
not state to the Eastern brokers that
he owned the bonds personally. Muir
ply admitted having told a couple of
the brokers that the bonds belonged to
him. The questioning was not pur-
sued. County Attorney Kane also ask
ed but few questions. Both sides treat
ed the witness with the greatest con-
sideration. T. D. O'Brien, Murphy s
attorney, was in the court room during
his examination.
M. Doran Sr. remembered the trans
action with Mr.. Scott when the latter
made a purchase of bonds, but Mr..
Doran could not remember the exact
bonds purchased and had no record of
the deal. He identified the draft with
which payment for the bonds was
made.
The hearing will be continued Tues
| day, when Pierce Butler, expectedeto be
| an important witness for the state, will
be called.

tions incident to these changes until the
regular meeting of the board Tuesday
evening, when the chief will make a re-
port certifying the changes that he rec
ommends.
This action of the board, it is said by
some of the firenen, sets aside the recent
resolution to the effect that promotions
after that time should be made entirely
on the ground of prior service, although
some. members of the board took the posi-
tion that the election of the chiefs should
be on the ground of fitness solely. Capt.
Betz, the ranking captain, claimed he was
entitled to the position of second assistant
chief, and there were number of other
candidates for the position who thought
they were in the lead.
