Germany Sees the Point

The Anglo-Japanese treaty is received
with little favor in Germany. The gov.
eminent gives it out that it sees moth
ing Objectionable in the treaty, but the
whole German press condemns it, which
is rather more significant than the gov
ernment's guarded expression Of indif-
ference. The Lokal Anzeiger takes the
position that the proper answer should
! be the conclusion of Russo German
treaty into which France might be
drawn. The Tageblatt says England
has abandoned her splendid isolation
only to drive the civilized world into
the camp Of her enemies.
The German view is not shared nv
the French press. The newspapers of
Paris generally express the opinion that
,1nasmuch as the treaty maintains the
status quo it is satisfactory to France.
France is not seeking territorial expan-
sion in the orient. French Indo- China
gives her all she needs and the guar
antee in the treaty that she shall have
this undisturbed is pleasing to France.
Undoubtedly the recent restoration of
good feeling between France and Eng
land promoted by King Edward led to
an exchange of views between the two
governments as to the coming treaty
and England took occasion to show
France that her eastern interests would
not be menaced. When this was under
stood there was no risk in the publica-
ton of the treaty.
The difference between the position
of Germany and France is that the
former has not secured anything like
what she would like to have in China.
Indeed, she has hardly foothold there
and the treaty makes it impossible for
her to acquire more. Should she try
any of the old games on China she
would receive prompt intimation from
Japan that China was not for forced
sale. The polite request to desist from
aggression would have to be acuuiesced
In unless Germany wished to fight both
Japan and Great Britain. . 81 y
Shut out for ten years at least from
aggression in China, the restless kaiser
will undoubtedly turn his attention else
where. South America and South
Africa are the only portions of the
world left for him to exploit. In South
America he runs against the Monroe
doctrine and the United States. In
Africa he has large tracts of territory,
but unfortunately at present he is get
ting more exercise than profit out of
them because of the contumacy of the
natives. .,..-.,y-.. ......:. --.~ .......
Beyond question the Anglo-J Japanese
treaty will make the unfolding Of the
Monroe doctrine o more delicate matter
than ever before, because German sub
jects are numerous in Brazil and the
Argentine, and the kaiser would gladly
stir up trouble with the republics down
there if it would bring him into the
field as protector of German interests.
An India or Egypt in Brazil would
suit him down to the ground.

Most of the stories regarding the adj
Vantages and Disadvantages of St. Paul
and Minneapolis are the product Of fer>
tile brains, but one Of the best we have
heard was unprecedented and without
malice or aforethought. A lady on 500
train coming to Buffalo for an outing was
met by a former acquaintance, who knew
her when she lived at Duluth, and he
asked her if she liked living in St. Paul
better than Duluth. Her reply was, ,"Oh,
yes, like to live in st. Paul because it is
so near Minneapolis. Buffalo Journal.

Weakness of the Unanimous Jurv.

At Miller, S. D., last week Judge
Whiting "roasted" jury to a turn.
The Miller Sun says it was "the most
scathing rebuke ever given jurors for
failure to agree The defendant was
young fellow charged with an Of
tense against a 13-year-old girl. AS
the words ''vile wretch, low villian,'
etc., fell from the judges lips as he
referred to the defendant and as the
jurors were told that they lacked rea-
soning powers or were influenced by
sympathy with the crime the evidence
of the accused's guilt being over
whelming, the men sat speeches., their
faces turning ashen pale. Finally the
judge babe the jurors 20 with the
parting shot that if the man whom
they had failed to convict should COM
NIT an offense against their daughters
they themselves and not the officers
of the law would be- ito blame. 49,
The jury stood nine to three for con-
viction.
A jury law which would have en-
abled three-fourths majority to bring
in verdict would have convicted the
accused in this case, justice would have
been done so far as the courts could go
and the jury system would not have
suffered another serious loss in the con-
fidence of the public. The three-fourths
verdict is almost an inevitable result
in the course of time. It will make
jury fixing much more difficult and
promote the cause Of justice and COM
mon respect for the jury as an institu-
tion.

1t is remarked that in fifty years the
average stature of women in England has
greatly increased and that the young
woman Of England today is not only d.
vinely tall, but commandingly strong as
well. Her foot has grown also, and she
has no longer any objection to asking for
the size Of shoe she really wears, because
having considerable use for her feet she
has abandoned the idea Of combining
them IN inadequate shoes. The same ap-
plies to- gloves. The only question with
the English woman nowadays is whether
she will grow too big and strong to have
a man for her protector. This is prac-
t1cal question in view Of the army sta
tist1cs, which show that the English man
is decreasing in height, in muscular de-
velopment and in endurance power. - s
