.JApAN's LAURELs nrpERILED.

France, the covert ally of Russia,
'Eow threatens to raise an fnterna-
aional question in the Orient which
will rob Japan of her just reward
for whipping Russia.
France says, since the capture of
Port Arthur, that the occupancy of
that position by Japan is a menace
10 Europe in the Orient, and demands
that the powers now step in and deny
her the logical and we'll earned tro-
phies of her most wonderful cam
paign against the Russian stronghold.
This is a cowardly and vicious stab
lrom France.
The world has been certain for
months that Port Arthur must fall
into the hands of the Japanese, and
yet France has not raised her voice
against the useless and terrible
slaughter, until it is seen beyond a
doubt that Japan will take the posi-
tion. then she cries danger"
1t is thrust from a neutral power
which is inspired by a secret alliance
with the whipped combatant, and
should have no weight with the other
European powers.
The present war was brought on by
ythe interference of Russia, in the set
tlement of the war between Japan
and China, in which Russia prevented
Japan from taking the territory she
had won from China.
France threatens to play the Rus
sian role and interfere in the settle
ment of this war, thus robbing Japan
a second time of well earned victory.
The United States, England. Ger
many and other powers interested in
tthe Orient should see that France
Keeps her meddlesome hands off this
fnatter.
Russia is whipped and she should
take the consequences. No cowardly
cry of France should cause any inter
ference in the settlement
1t is no more perilous for Japan to
capture Port Arthur, than 1t was for
her to capture Lao Yang, Dalny OF
other Russian strongholds. yet, the
international danger was not hinteC
as long as there was q possibility o
Hussia winning the fight.
Hands off. The victory is Japan's
Let civilization adjust itself.

Unangered columns hurled upon

Blood-gulltless souls made CORY at
word;
Cheeks drenched with tears and wild
owed women's woe
In the long wall of cloistered sor-
row heard.
Man at cry made furious and grim
With scent of blood and smoke of
bursting shell;
Dead faces on field upturned TO
Him.
And spirits flown--to Heaven or to
He'll?
Smoke. like the fumes from Helrs
own caldron curled,
Men schooled to murder at a bugle's
blare;
Emblems of empire from a staff un-
furled.
Blades drawn from scabbards, hidden
slay nor spare.
Man and his brother Man, the tie
forgot,
Each with his eye light with the
lust of Cain;
Blood. as the breech of belching can

Leaping to splash the battled hill
or plain.

There is no excuse for the heed

the vicious.
He says there is nothing to lose by
rejecting the examples of the better

scheme of salvation and redemption
is all wrong and men live Christian
lives in vain, have they not done the
best they knew in accepting the ex-
ample of the best men on earth?
They lose nothing by that life.
But If the scheme of salvation is
right and true, and men cast away
the best examples of the world, and
accept the worst, what then?

There is an excellent opportunity
for some statesman to engrave his
name high upon Fame's imperishable
scroll by barking to the cry for postal
reform and championing that cause.
1t seems strange that the many alb
surdities of the postal system of this
country should have gone SO long un-
corrected, or that we should have
been so apathetic regarding a matter
of such vital commercial Importance.
Here are a few of the many incon-
gruities of our present rates and
regulations. They will never reform
themselves; the public must demand
and then, possibly. statesmen will
wake up and act. Our postal service
carries one ounce letter to Shang-
hal, China, for two cents, and charges
| 10 cents to carry the same letter tc
Britain charges rs cents to carry ar
f1-pound parcel. Uncle Sam charges
Ga cents for carrying a four-pount
parcel-and limits the parcel post t,
four pounds. 1t costs five cents t,
send a letter from the United State
to New Zealand, and it costs but tw,
cents to send letter from New Zea
land to the United States.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

writer from Sacramento. Cal. in
January Eyerybody's discusses. in a
short letter, the reasons why work
ingmen do not attend church. He
says that 1t is not lack Of oratory
that keeps them away; II every pull
pit were filled with Spurgeons
.Beechers, Moodys and Talmages, they
would still remain away.
He says the reason is that work.
ingmen as a rule do not believe In
Christianity, that they are either
needless, skeptical or atheistic, and
that they need a reviving force which
will approach them on their own
plane and talk to them from COM
mon ground; that the pulpit. while
doing a worthy. earnest work. over
reaches the masses and leaves them
in darkness and doubt.
This is weak excuse, in light of
the fact that every city, hamlet cross
roads and country settlement in this
age is supplied with churches. to
which every workingman in the land
has free access and is more than well
come.
There is no excuse to offer for
their unbelief and irreligion, except
ehat they will not listen to the earn
eat men who are laboring for the
benefit Of mankind. There is no ex-

Mormons are in the saddle in
Idaho-in postoffices, county offices,
legislature and state offices and now
a Mormon is to be speaker of the
house. A writer of more than ordi-
nary ability and with keen prophetic
vision, has said that Mormonism will
yet dominate the United States. Its
tentacles are reaching into many of
the states, while 1t is yet confined to
one central head. Its branches are
innumerable and three more central
heads beside Salt Lake City are now
contemplated, namely. at Kansas
City Chicago and New York. Its in
dustrial policy holds members; there
is never a backslider among them,
and what members it gains are clear
additions to the total, for there is
no wasting away of its forces. Its
missionaries are now found in every
country under the sun, and its home
missions extend to every city in the
United States. 1t lays strong foun-
dations wherever it gains foothold,
by placing its members in public Of
fices, and thus securing all the emol-
uments and all the authority possible.
These facts are significant. No
other church goes to this limit in its
missionary work.

CHAUFFEUR"

A correspondent wants to know
how to pronounce the word "chauf-
feur." Some people call 1t "shofer,
some call 1t ''shaw-fewer," John d.
Rockefeller pronounces 1t "chofer,"
and we recently heard one lady talk
ing volubly about her ''chaffer." one
unlettered, but ingenious fellow. has
been known to refer to an auto driver
as a "chiffoner." says the Binghamp-

Among all this admixture of pro-
nunciations our correspondent should
be able to get one to his liking. The
second pronunciation with the accent
on the FEWER" Is about as near right
as any of them, although some cul-
tured people prefer "shofer." If you
own an automobile and can hire a
chauffeur you can pronounce IT any
old way, and those of your friends
who are without a machine will I'm no
single instance refuse to ride with you
on that account. Some of them will
even give you a hint that they think a
ride in a motor car CHATS English for
automobile) would be just too delight
full for anything.

When you go to get your machine
at the garage you should be very care
full to state that you are on your way

you If you say your are going to the
auto stable, or the place where your

Infammatory Rheumatism in the knees,

Prot. .Ingve SjCstedt and Gunnar

Africa to pursue geological researches.

carriers from the shore to the interior.

Several curious remedies have been
suggested for settlement of the union
trouble on Observation-Disclosures peninsula
Here is a sample: Let the king live
one year in Sweden and one year in
Norway. When he resides in Norway
the Norwegian minister of state shall
act as minister of foreign affairs for
the two countries, and when he re-
sides in Sweden the Swedish minister
shall do the same. The most curious
part of this plan is that children born
of royal blood in Sweden shall be
Swedish princes or princesses. and
those born in Norway shall be Norwe-
gian princes and princesses. BY this
arrangement the ruler would some
times happen to be Norwegian and
sometimes Swcdc. The beauty of
this scheme must be sought in The fact
that its greatness makes all parties
laugh in spite of the seriousness o; the
situation.
Navigation, was opened April Is on
the Trollhatte canal.
The municipal court of Sunasvall

of the scism in the army: :-.
