 The yellow peril does not exist in Japanese form at any rate. Japan may indeed discourage immigration to the United States, but whether she does or not the Mikados subjects will prefer Corea and Manchuria to the United States. for Corea and the lower portion of Manchuria will soon be Japanized, and all parts of China will become open to Japanese exploitation.

Great Business Revival.

Prosperity in the west and central west is beginning to overwhelm all transportation facilities. The railways endeavored to forestall blockade by procuring equipment under quick de- livery contracts, but the size of the crops and the general prosperity of the country Is outrunning all their expec- tations and plans.
 The car and locomotive shops of the country are congested with orders, and relief will come slowly. The best re- lief that is possible is good weather. While the weather stays good traffic will be kept at maximum, but when bad weather sets in, especially if 1t be accompanied by heavy shifting snow falls, blockade will be established, reaching from the Missouri river to the Atlantic coast. An open winter is very needful in this emergency.
 It is said that the elevators of Chi- cago are already overtaxed, and that fully nine million bushels of grain in that city cannot be moved on account of lack of transportation facilities. Traffic this fall Is diversified, every industry contributing to the present excess of traffic. Steel, iron, mer- chandize, grain, coal and supplies of all kinds are being forwarded in vol umes that are amazing. The country is full of activity and promise, and the only drawback in sight is the lack of cars and power to meet the wishes of shippers.
 Beyond all doubt the south will feel the car famine sharply. It is already manifest, and when cotton is added to the lumber and coal and iron and sup plies shipped in this state loud call will go up for more cars, and those cars will not be forthcoming at once.

Japanese immigration.

In the last fiscal year but 10,332 Jap anese came to this country. There may be, all told, 100000 in the United States, full half of whom are in Hawaii. We have no Japanese exclu- sion law, and we do not need one. Some people in California are clamor- ing for one, but their prejudiced and baseless demand will not be needed by Congress.
 Information has been received in Washington to the effect that Japan would look with favor on an exclusion act, provided one could be so framed that it would not be humiliating to that country. But an exclusion law would necessarily be humiliating, and as Japan contains but limited popu- lation none will be passed.
 The truth is, Japan needs every one of her sons in her new programme She desires to colonize and assimilate Cores and Manchuria, and there is am.

"ELlUM-PEELER" HOGS.
Beat the Mall Coach From Indianapo
 lis to Cincinnati.

From the Indianapolis News.
 The feature story in the News of last Saturday, recalling the old stage days and the way in which the mail was brought into and taken out of Indianap- olis, when a little town in the backwoods before the coming of the railroads, re- minds Dr. w. H. Wishard now nearing ninety years of age. of the slow progress made by the old mail coaches when the winter set in and the roads were sloughs of despond, filled with mud and water, punctuated here and there with 'lob-lol- lles' deep enough to engulf coach and horses.
 "One morning in the early winter, after an unusually long season of rain,' said the doctor, "I was at the old Little's ho- tel, southeast corner of Washington and New Jersey streets, as the mall coach was setting out for Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati. In that day it was customary to drive hogs from this city to Brighton, a suburb of Cincinnati, at that time great hog and cattle market.
 "As the mall set out a great drove of hogs came along in Washington street on the way to Cincinnati. The hogs of that day were not the well-rounded porkers with which we are familiar, but were built on the Gothic order and stood high on long and active legs. They roamed the woods 8 great part of the year, and with the exception of 6 few weeks when they were put to corn, they fed on the mast they found in the woods. The gen. eral term for these forest roamers was elm peelers, or as the first syllable was usually heightened into two, 'ellum peel ers.'
 Here were the hogs and the mail coach on an even start for the Queen City of the West, We heard later that the 'ellum peelers.' light-limbed. readily pulled through the mud and swam the deep pools and beat the mail to Cincin- natl by several hours.'

From the Washington Post.
 The negroes of the South, says our Charlotte (N. CD correspondent. are. gen. erally speaking, superstitious. They be-. lieve in signs. good and bad, and have abiding faith in hoodoo doctors.
 Several days ago newspaper man asked picture-seller, one of the horde of photograph enlargers who work the poor whites and negroes to the very limit, how he managed to make the ne- groes take the pictures after they mad ordered them.
 That's easy" said the picture man. If l get out the order I am satisfied. I know how to work the negro.
 ''For instance, I get an order to en- large . picture. I do the work and then 70 back to deliver the goods and get my money. If the negro says, I don't be- lieve that I will take the picture,' then tell him, All right. you ordered 1t. and if you do not take 1t I will bury it.
 That's the proper medicine. He comes around then. for every old negro believes that if his photograph Is buried he will surely die. I have no trouble in deliver ing to negroes. It is the white man that does ma.'

FOOTBALL BRUTALITY
 ON SCIENTIFIC BASIS
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 NREsIDENT ROOSEVELT. that p sturdy lover of peace has start
 ed series of conferences design ed to prevent mutilatisn. bloodshed, and murder on the football gridiron. His activity in this direction, remarks tho Philadelphia Ledger, lis perfectly con- sistent with his attitude on race suicide" As usual. the President is far and away ahead of other public men in perceiving new dangers and oourageously attacking them. But is he not attempting an im- possibility when he seeks to abolish brutality in football7
 It Is the glory of football, according to It's champions, that 1t cultivates grit, self control, stubborn courage, and gallantry. Physical strength is requisite, of course. The ideal football player is young, human bulldog Young fellows of ordinary physical and moral makeup. if they do not devote too much attention to their studies and escape deformity and death, are something's made into fine foot ball players. But there is in every col lege and university lack of really first class material, which is supplied by hir- ing fine specimens of brutes and paying their way through college. These splen- did young ruffians are matriculated by the enthusiastic faculty. anxious to please the men of the school, and secretly anxious to capture the football champion- ship at all hazards of life and limb. In- tercollegiate games are thus. becoming mn a nd Re~t,t sional toughs, who are merely technically attached to the colors they glorify.
 Two games opening the season among eastern colleges were so full of new foot ball methods as to reveal clearly the rapid progess of the game. In the Co., lumbia- Wesleyan game in New York on Saturday the tactics differed radically from those practiced at the Pennsylvania- Swarthmore game at Franklin field on the same day.

CHINESE IRIsHlSM.
Loss of Battle Naively Attributed 10
 the Enemy's 6Iunder.

Chan Chun Man. the head of Canton nese firm employing over 16,0Oo hands, has been studying American industries, says the Washington Post. In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese awakening, he said
 "China has for thousands of years been highly enough civilized to despise war. Her newborn respect for war is not an unmixed good. There Is perhaps little of degeneration, of barbarian, in it.
 But, at least, China will no longer be the laughing stock of nations more war like than herself. It will no longer be possible to say of her, as the Japanese once said, that a Chinese general ex- plained a defeat with such report as this:
 "'The ignorant enemy, unaware that guns could not be fired against an ob- ject behind them. came upon us from the rear, and thus rendered all our cannon useless

game the plan was adopted of uniting one entire side and assaulting single prominent member of the opposing team. At an opportune time and at the proper signal, the biggest and heaviest man of the attacking team jumped with spiked shoes upon the prostrate victim, and the rest of the team followed, stamping upon their man and doing their best to put him out of business" The skillful new play would have succeeded admirably if the coach had not run up and punched the first assailant upon the nose. This. of course, led to a free fight, in which the police took hand. The lack of self control in the coach was universally con- demned The victim had not said a word, and was demonstrating beautifully his ability to withstand grueling punish- ment. The fact that he will recover proves how foolishly the coach acted.
 In the Pennsylvania -Swarthmore game the plan of a free fight among all players was tried. There was not such pleas ing exhibition of teamwork as the other method afforded, but the free-fght plan proved it's merits in giving the players
  est virtues acquired on the gridiron. such as ability to withstand punishment. bull dog tenacity, agility In fighting with the eyes blinded with blood and dust, an unfailing instinct in reaching the vital points of the enemy, and instant readi- ness to cooperate with a partisan in doubling forces upon single antagonist. The brutal and uncalled-for interference of the police spoiled the development of several pretty individual plays. Tho points involved in gouging out an an- tagonists eyes were not thoroughly prac- ticed for this reason.
 The logical development of football re- quires hand-off policy on the part of the police. If brutality is ever to be made a science, it must have free field. There can be no half-way business If the President wishes to prevent brutality he must abolish football

LIFE WOULD BE STALE
 WITHOUT GOOD FELLOWS

self destitute of the means to play his part. For it is true that no man Is more dependent on money than the good fel- low" Were he penniless, life would seem to him like a waste of desert sand Seldom indeed is he able to find his joy in the simple pleasures. As a rule, he cares nothing for science or philosophy, liter ature, or art. The great thoughts which wander, as Milton says, through eternity, do not come to him as welcome guests. The good fellow craves the excitement that comes from the stimulation or mar cotization of the nerves. His gait in the moral realm Is apt to be little wobbly. A fine animal he often Is, but the intel lect is usually conspicuous through it's absence.
 One observes, too, that the good fel- low is good mainly through senti- ment rather than through principle. He is benevolent when he Is lucky, or when his physical system is in good repair. When the gout assails him, or an adverse wind bears down upon him, he is as great a misanthrope as Timon of Athens in his later career. This lack of regard for principle is likely to make of him crm- inal when he finds himself in desperate straits. He may denounce MT. Rockefel- Ter for what he considers his greed, yet this good fellow" worships Mammon. Money is the god of gods for him. as well as for the men who receive his scorn. Life is only blot or a blur when the financial reservoir Is empty Left naked. as it were, and thrown on the resources of his own soul, good fellowship flies out of the window, and no noble quality en- ters in.
 Nevertheless, the ''good fellow" must not be cast as rubbish to the void.' There Is much to be said for him. He is better man than the one who abstains from liquor for no better reason than tho one so often found, because he Is too mean to pay for 1t. It is quite possible for one to take life too seriously. If life be not altogether a May picnic, that is no reason why cakes and ale should al- ways be tabooed. Besides, all life ought to be good fellowship and doubtless the ages are striving to produce race of men who will be in the truest sense of tho term-good fellows.

Religious Creeds.

Mot being affiliated with any church organization, am interested in the con troversy over Unitarianism and Trinitar- ianism only as a looker-on,'' said a pro- fessional man of advanced years.
 "When I was youth I remember shock my Presbyterian father had when Unitarian minister was invited to preach in a Presbyterian pulpit. Since that time I have known from reading and hearsay of scores of Unitarians occupying Protes- tant pulpits. It shows that Protestant Christians, be they Unitarian or Trini- taran, are getting closer together.
 "One of the curious facts about the Uni tarian faith is that the members of the society in Great Britain in the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries came from the Angelican communion with its Nicene creed and the Presbyterians with its Westminster symbols. The pendulum swung backward. and from the most ar dent Trinitarians many learned and good men become Unitarians. The sane swing ing back of the pendulum was observed fin New England. Puritan Calvanists be- came. liberals and rationalists. Every
