A year or more ago, when as yet the
war in the far East was in its beginnings,
somebody who had pretty thoroughly
studied the two countries involved wrote
to one of the leading magazines, insisting
that geography would have great deal
to do with this contest, and that because
of her geographical situation as related
to the seat of operations, Russia would
be the loser. The prediction has been
fulfilled to remarkable degree, but its
ful6llment has been brought about not
altogether because Of geographical
reasons, but also because Of an indomit-
able spirit of devotion and bravery in
the Japanese army and navy-a spirit
the intensity of which has not been been
fully realized by the world at large
until now. Geography is not the only
handicap against which the Russians
have had to contend in their war with
the Mikado's men.

The New Secretary

In sacrificing an extremely lucrative
law practice and accepting appointment
as secretary of state to succeed the
lamented Hay, Elihu Root may have
had an eye on the presidency, as is
claimed in some quarters; but past
experience has shown that a cabinet
position cannot be implicitly relied upon
as a stepping'stone to the executive
chair. Mr.. Roots recall by President
Roosevelt is an emphatic expression OF
the Executives faith in him, and will be
cordially endorsed by the public, because
they too nave confidence in his ability to
fill the highest place in the cabinet; they
feel that he will take excellent care of our
foreign interests, and that in him the
President will have wise and safe
counselor. II he has ambitions presi

Massachusetts republicans are scoring
for the governorship. Lieut.. Gov.Curtis
Guild-known and admired by not few
Vermonters-is a candidate for the
succession to the present democratic
occupancy of the governors chair. E. N.
Foss, prominent as an apostle OF "recip-
rocity" in it's more sweeping sense,
is endeavoring to secure from Mr.. Guild
an endorsement of his (Foss') particular
ideas of reciprocity, but that gentleman
refuses to be drawn out. The Evening
Record regards the acknowledgement
as "reciprocal' enough for all practical
political purposes and thinks he can
afford to stand on his own record and
the state conventions platform-when
that appears.

Japan's Intentions.

Speculation is rife these days as to
whether the inhabitants of the Island
Empire, now that they have proved so
victorious over the Cars army and
navy, will become afflicted with "swelled
head" and develop into yellow peril"
of the first magnitude. There are those
who look for just such development, and
others who believe that no such thing
will happen. Two writers in the
Worlds Work for June see commercial
menace in Japan's supremacy over Russia;
they believe she will close certain doors
that are now open, that the United
States has a bitter contest ahead for
Oriental trade after the war, and that
there will be urgent need OF cooperation
by the English speaking countries to save
their Oriental commerce.
This is what a japanese writer says
OF that nations mission: Two streams
OF civilization flowed in opposite direc'
lions when mankind descended from their
primitive homes on the table-land oil
Ivan or Armenia. That toward the
West passed through Babylon, Phoenicia,
Greece, Rome, Germany, England, and
eliminated in America while that
through the East travelled through India
Tibet and China, eliminating in the
Manchu court OF Picking. The mora
world is also magnet, with its two
opposite poles on the opposite banks o
the Pacific; democratic, aggressive, in
durtive America, and imperial, conserva
tive and deductive China. There hav
been constant attempts for the union 9

sEooND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia

It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping

invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
TH1RD.-The great volume of unso-

at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,

time published by permission, give alb

United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your

to Women.--Wom suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink

received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage Of this
generous offer Of assistance.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly
sustained: and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full affect of Hoods
Sarsaparila is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic
say, sustaining diet. 1t makes it much
easier to bear the heat, assures refreshing
sleep, and will without any doubt avert
much sickness at this time OF year.

Reports from Porto Rico indicate con-
siderable unrest and discomfort among
a people who are, selfconfessedly,
prosperous in this the sixth year of their
civil government under United States
auspices. Quite little trouble has been
experienced as the result of strikes, and
socialism of the worst brand is said to be
rampant in some sections. 1t will not do
to expect too much of the Porto Ricans
in too short time. Their growth out
of the old order of things under Spanish
rule and into the more civilizing and
selfdeveloping program laid out for
them by the United States government
will naturally be a slow process.

OPENING OF COLONIAL THEATRE.
The First Attraction Of The Season
AT Local Playhouse.

The attraction for the opening Of
the winter season of the Colonial
Theatre ia this city on Saturday will
be Miftenthal Brothers. big musical
comedy company, headed by Johnny
Ford and Mayme Gehrue, in Lovers
and Lunatics. = There is just enough
story in "Isovers and Lunatics' TO
form q vehicle of catchy whistling
songs, bright and attractive dances
and funny situations, the combination
of which makes up two and half
hours of genuine entertainment. The
story of the comedy in brief is as fol-
lows.
Heinrich Dinkelspiel, an eccentric
old character, has built a manor in
close proximity 70 lunatic asylum.
His nephew, lieutenant George Rich
mond, arrives and is informed that if
ne wishes TO inherit his uncle estates,
he must marry his uncle's protege,
Miss Nellie Huntington However,
George is already married and after
consultation the three agree TO fool the
uncle by having Nellie Huntington
pass off as Georges wife. The plans
seem spoiled by the arrival of Richard
Hamilton, from whom Nellie is sepa-
rated by q lovers quarrel. Richard
mistakes the manor for the asylum
and to further the deception, George
poses as the keeper and enlightens
him upon the peculiarities of the va
rious inmates, also informing him
that Nellie is Latient on account of
their quarrel. This gives rise to nu-
merous uproarous incidents. Finally,
explanations are in order and it de-
velops that the various inmates are
lovers lunatics and Uncle Helm
rich accepts his new niece-in-law.
The company is said to be an ex-
celIent one and comprises such well
known exponents of operatic farce as
Florence Little, Joe Morris, Sam Shan
non, George r. Watson, j. Maurice
Holden, Henrietta Tedro and others.
A large and attractive chorus of sixty
people is q strong feature of the show.
