The eyes Of the west are turned toward
the east. Japan has become an object of
keen attention. In the course of a few
months doubtless the tides of war will
have receded and peace will reign and
many Americans will travel to the wonder
full land that has produced such remark

to converse with the natives. and 1T is for
the elementary guidance of such travellers
that this attractive little vest-pocket Ian

convenient form a collection of the most
necessary words and sentences for the use
of the wanderer in Japan. together with
information about items of Importance,
such as the coinage, the systems of emu

rates. etc. The Conversation" system Is
adopted. giving the English and Japanese
equivalents for questions and answers.
THE STORM OF LONDON, Social
Rhapsody. BY F. Dickberry Boston:
Herbert B. Turner & Co.
Conceive a great city suddenly visited by
violent storm. in the midst of which
mysterious forces set 10 work to deprive
humanity of all the artificial coverings
which modesty has required and fashion
has decreed. No more Clothes can be OBJ
tanned. The world-withn the limits of the
British metropolis-is reduced to the con-
dition Of the Inhabitants of Eden. What a
situation! What possibilities for the specu-
lative mind! Mr.. Dickberry. In adopting
this theme, has stuck steadfastly to an en-
tirely inoffensive thesis. suggested by Car
lyle's exclamation In ''Sartor Resartus:"
Clothes give US Individuality distinctions

US; they are threatening to make Clothes

J. STERLING MORTON
STATUE UNVEILED IN OMAHA,
NEB., TODAY.

The statue OF the late J. Sterling Nor
ton, unveiled today in Omaha by ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. is the work of Mr.. Rudolph
Evans, young Washington artist. MIR.
Evans is a grand nephew of the famous
American dentist, who rendered such great
service to ex-Empress Eugenie Of France
at the time of her fight to England after
the disastrous Franco-Prussian war. Mr..
Evans is a native Of Washington. and at
tended the public schools here. His father,
Mr. Frank L. Evans, was for many years
connected with the Department Of Agri-
culture. Young Evans showed great apti-
tude in art during his early school days
He made the best drawings Of any OF his as
sociates when he was eleven years of age
and at thirteen attracted attention by his
work with crayons. Within the next two
or three years, however. the boy began
modelling in clay, and from the very first
his work in this direction attracted atten-
ton. He modelled busts of all his friends
and acquaintance, making remarkable
Hkenesses, with only such crude materials
as ordinary clay and the simplest of Inn
pIements.
When he was seventeen years of age he
modelled busts of Secretary ]. Sterling Nor
ton, then at the head of the Department Of
Agriculture; ex-Secretary jeremiah Rusk
Justice Strong and many other men in pub
lie life. The bust of Secretary Morton at
tracted considerable attention. It was
shown the Secretary, and he eomplimented
the young sculptor on his work, and advised
his father to give his son every facility for
cultivating his art Mr.. Evans studied In
this city several years under U. S. ]. Dun
her, and afterward was sent to Paris, where
he spent several years. His master in Paris
was the great Roudin, and he also studied
at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. During his
stay in Paris Mr.. Evans exhibited four sea-
sons at the salon, and received high COM
mendation for his work. He returned to
the United States and entered competition
with artists from every section of the eoun-
try for the Merton monument that was un-
yelled today In Omaha. He was awarded
the contract in February 1903, and went
to Paris to do the work. As soon as the
statue was completed Mr.. Evans returned
with it to this country, and has spent his
time since his arrival here, in Omaha, su-
perintending its setting up. Mr.. Evans
mother resides In this city at 1928 Cfncin-
natl street. She attended the ceremonies
today the guest of ex-Secretary Paul
Morton. Mrs Evans left Washington sew
era1 days ago with Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Nor
ton on their private car, and will return
east with them.

ROOSEVELT BIRTHDAY BANQUET.
Tribute to the President-Stickneyo on
Railroad Rates

Theodore Roosevelt's forty-seventh birth
day was celebrated in ST. Paul, Mimi. last
night by the Original Roosevelt Club with
for enthusiastic admirers OF President
Roosevelt. The banquet hall was appro-
priately decorated in national colors and
portraits Of President Roosevelt and other
prominent national figures in the republi-
can party.
Justice Jaggard OF the Minnesota supreme
court was POSTMASTER. and he paid glow
ing tribute to Theodore Roosevelt in intro
ducing President Stfckney of the Chicago

President In a toast to The President and
spoke on THE President and the Tariff" !"
and Representative Bede closed the cele-
bration with witty speech on '"The Presi-
dent and Congress"
ject of '"The President and the Railroads" !"
said:
TT Is well known that ever since COM
petitive railways have existed the actual
competitive rates have been made by the
rebate system. The rebate is the offspring
of competition, and Is never paid except on
competitive business It probably origf-
mated with the railways.
Theodore Roosevelt says It Is not a
square deal. and every fair-minded man
will say 1t Is not square deal 1t Is wrong
in principle, but as long there are many
competitive railways it is of little practical
Importance, because unreasonable rates
cannot be enforced. But In twenty years,
possibly in ten years. there Will be few if
any competitive railways, and II therefore
becomes important, while we can, to estab-
1sh the correct principle In the law.

NURSES IN THE NAVY.
Surgeon General Rixey Recommends
Employment of Women.


The surgeon general of the navy has
made a strong plea for the employment OF
women nurses In the naval medical SER
vice. THAT women nurses are by natural
endowment and aptitude" says he, "su-
perior to male nurses for much Of the
duty required in the care of sick and In
jured men is generally admitted. Every
war Of modern times has demonstrated
this fact The medical department Of the
army is now provided with a corps or
trained women nurses. and their adaptable
ity to service conditions and efficiency in
institutions under military control nave
been fully established. Their services
would be more useful in the naval hos
pitfalls, insuring for the sick of the navy
as careful nursing as Is now given to the
sick of the army.
Valuable assistance, moreover. In teach
ing and training the men of the hospital
corps their special duties of attendance
the sick could be rendered by Them
and in the event of war, besides being
utilized on hospital ships. they could, in
large part take the place of the men In
the naval hospitals. thereby releasing the
latter for service with the force afioat
where they would be needed In the opinion
of the Bureau, provision should be made
for one superintendent OF nurses to super
wise the discipline of the CORPS and as
many chief nurses. nurses and reserve
nurses as may be needed. In the discretion
OF the Secretary Of the Navy. In time OF
peace the number of such trained women
nurses would be very smalf. but the or
ganizat ation should be such as to admit Of
ready expansion to meet extraordinary
needs without delay or confusion The
recommendation of the bureau that Con-
gress be asked TO authorize the appoint
ment Of trained women nurses has here
tofore met with the approval of the de-
partment, but necessary legislation has so
far failed of enactment. The bureau has
renewed its recommendation that legfsIa-
ton authorizing the employment OF trained
women nurses for the navy be requested Of

those states.
One Issue Made Opening.
It looks as IL new issues were to doni-
nate the entire campaign. But there was
one issue that made an opening for the
race question and 1T came as naturally as
possible. The republicans adopted plank
in their platform favoring free school
books for pupils In the public schools and
It met the disapprova1 of those who were
accustomed to conducting the affairs OF
the schools ana OF others who complained
that the expense would come from the
white tax payers and that the parents of
colored children should be made to pay
for their school books.
That ushered in the race question and
every day. until Judge Lewis was accused
of having favored miscegenation. the race
question kept getting more and more foot
hold Then the republican speaker also
gave vest to personal criticism of demo-
cratic candidates repeated criticisms
that had been made against them during
the days when the democrats were con-
tending over the nomination Of candidates:
Now all issues are lost sight Of, except
that which relates to the free school books,
and that is dropping to the plane Of a race,
rather than an educational, question.
The heat of the contest is not the result
of any doubt on the part Of the demo-
cratic managers that they will be able to
elect their state ticket but they want to
do more than that. They want to be sure
tnal tnelT md1Orly is not TeuuceO. kHe
publicans, counting somewhat upon the
popularity of President Roosevelt and
thinking that they might reap an advan-
tage from that popularity, have pushed
a vigorous campaign not only with refer
ence to this election but looking forward
to future elections. They have had an idea
that there would be realignment of par
tisan support in the state, now that the
bulk of the colored voters have been dis
francbsed. But If there is any likelihood
that the effort of the democratic party OF
the state is to be lessened because of the
elimination of the eolored vote 1t has not
been shown up to this time. They propose
to keep the democratic lines tightly
drawn as ever and they declare that should
they come to ndorse President Roosevelt
for election for another term it will be done
In such a way to leave no doubt that
he will owe the support he gets from the
state of Virginia to the democratic party,
and that the republican party of the state
will play a subordinate part. In fact II
the republican party of the state could be
brought to oppose the Presidents nomina-
ton and election it seems likely that the
democratic organization would be thor
oughIy we'll pleased.
1t is declared by leading democrats here
that while in national elections the state
may show independence in the manner Of
casting Its vote, and may possibly at some
time go republican, they will not think of
any such talk in the matter of state con-
troll. c. e. X.

Once Comfortable Feeling.

When the campaign was opened there
was probably as comfortable feeling over
the conditions that were to be met as
there has ever been. Representative Claude
A. Swanson. candidate for governor. was
looked upon as eminently qualified for pro-
viding eloquence and forcfble speeches to
arouse enthusiasm sufficient to bring out
the vote of the state. Judge Lewis. from
the eastern part of Virginia. was supposed
to have such high standing that he would
keep his campaign on plane that could
not permit personalities to take the place
of issues Judge Lewis, who has been
lifelong republican, says he has endeavored
to overcome what he declares Is the preju-
dice of Virginians against voting the re-
publican ticket He has told the people
that his father belonged to the controlling
whig party of the state which in its day
was as aristocratic an organization as the
democratic party has become. He has told
them that they should remember that there
was a time when to be democrat In Viz
ginia was to defy the highest social class
He has argued that they should break
away frim all questions of prejudtces in
political matters and consider what poll
cies have made the United States great,
and to come out for them 1t is said that
throughout his campaign he has carefully
avoided discussions of the race question.

solely by white people, they have, OF

ness of the democratic party. and how 1t
has been the foundation of latter day pros
perity for the state and how 1t Is synony-
nous with honest administration. Captain
Kent republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, was taken from the western part
of the state. where there are few coIored
people, and he brought with him into the
campaign such prestige as goes with a sol
dier's record in the Spanish-Amerfcan war.

tion that can hardly be found in any part

are set upon the upbuilding Of the manu-
featuring indus tries OF the state. He talked
of those industries and of the republican
policies in respect to manufacturing as

them. He said he wanted the state to
take Its place alongside tie manufacturing
