It has been charged says a New York exchange that the Japanese disliked Americans: that they worked for star vation wages. and so threw Americans out of employment; that they were prone to vice and crime: that they re- fused to amalgamate with foreigners, and retained their old standards of living and industry It was America that opened the doors of Japan. hence it is to America that Japan is thank full. The wage scale of Japan is low, but there is nothing in which the Jap anese shows his modernity so thorough fy as in his acceptance of better as soon as he can get it. and being a con- scientious, as well as an industrious worker, he commands what he asks. The moral standard in the east is diff ferent from that of our country. but so far as conduct is concerned. it is at least as high as ours. It is rarely that a Japanese openly breaks the laws or brings himself under the reproba ton of orderly citizens. As for the refusal of these Oriental Yankees to amalga- mate with Americans, the charge is absurd. Japanese learn from every body. He will dress and speak as nearly like an American as he may. and he will behave much more politely.

Politicians are already discussing is

Considerable comment has bee

Considerable comment has been evoked here by statement credited to an official of the Panama canal con- mission to the effect that if America expects to construct the canal it must make life on the isthmus "attractive' and this cannot be done without mak- ing the strip practically wide open" The alleged official mentioned that canal diggers are not usually Sunday school scholars and the amusement to be provided must be the kind which would attract them, In other words, churches, Sunday school picnics, schools, concerts, etc, would not please such a population as well as music halls, saloons and gambling places. However .repugnant, such views may be to the American conscience. there is undoubtedly considerable truth and common sense in what is thus said. but it is doubtful if the government would sanction such establishments although the officials might wink at their exist ence

The negroes of the south will be for tunate indeed if they ever have again such cordial and sympathetic friend ship as that which the so-called "aris- tocratic class" of the south in ante-be lum days bestowed on the black popula- ton, says an exchange. Nor was this kindliness confined to the "aristocrats. '' Stonewall Jackson. while an instruc- tor at the Virginia Military institute, taught colored children in Sunday school" There were many men and women in Dixie of gentle birth and high breeding who ministered unto the material as well as the spiritual needs of the slaves. There was perfect trust between whites and black-a con. fidence which was rudely shattered. however, immediately after the war by the alien agents of reconstruction. If this confidence and this solution of the race problem will be made infinitely easier. -.r

It was said at the recent marriage
of Princess Margaret of Connaught to
Prince Gustavus of Sweden that it was
one of those rare exceptions-a royal
love match. Perhaps so, but there is
no such proof Of it as was furnished
by the marriage Of another Swedish
prince in England seventeen years
ago and under very different circum-
stances. Just because that was moth
ing but a love match, entirely of
Cupid's making, no ceremonious fuss
was made over it, and the European
sovereigns all held alOOf from it and
did not even send wedding presents to
the bride and bridegroom. Prince o.
car Carl Auguste, Duke of Gotland.
second son of the king and queen OF
Sweden, was rs years old when he fell
in love with his mothers prettiest and
favorite maid Of honor, Miss Ebba de
Munck. She was a scion of one of the
Oldest and most distinguished of SWe-
dish families and could claim to have
more blue blood in her veins than the
descendant of the man whom Bona
parte had placed on the throne of
Sweden. Prince Oscar told his father
as much, but that did not soften the
kings opposition. He insisted that his
handsome son should wed only within
the charmed circle of royalty, and be
content with the pick of some half

from the district and not allowed to
return. This measure resulted in
something OF a local boom, and two en-
tire villages and many isolated fam
lilies of Moros at once pulled up stakes
and moved into the post in order to be
free from the official exactions of their
chiefs. When they had little money
ahead, however, the men began to stop
work, as they had nothing to spend 1t
on but rice. The commandant, con-
sidering the vice of idleness as repre-
hensible as any other, and casting
about to create a constant demand for
money among his workers, took his
cue from what he saw going on about
him, and licensed two gambling houses
at 500 silver currency ($42 American
currency a month each. After that
he had an ample supply of excellent
laborers, who worked regularly with
out persuasion and required little
supervision, except for directing their
work. When their engagement was
finished they came around to the COM
mandant, asking that some other pay
ing, employment be found for them.

remarked in all candor: 1t only re-
quires little diplomacy to make

This sculptor and other artists agree
that the cat animals have a different

spite and more Of real hate in their
method. Sculptors usually place their
modelling stands as close to the bars
as possible. This same one was once
working close to a tigers cage, with
the beast inside lying very quiet, ap-
parently asleep. Without even raising
his eyelids the big cat struck between

dozen pretty princesses. The course
of true love never did run smooth for
many a long day. Miss Munck her
self refused to listen to the princes
suit and absolutely forbade him to
make the sacrifice for her sake. She
resigned her court appointment, and
when she found that her royal lover
was bent on following her to her faith
er's house, she left home and entered
a hospital to train as a nurse.
But Oscar would not give her up.
Rather would he lay aside all his tt
ties and privileges that his royal birth
conferred upon him. In his despair he
turned to his mother for comfort and
aid Queen Sophie, herself princess
of Nassau, had her own prejudice to

In a rose-covered house on the
south coast the happy couple have
lived since that day, occasionally Wis
itinS their native land, but making
England their real home. Their boys
go to English schools and they live
the quiet life of English country gen
tlefolk. OF course, when he married,
the prince, renOunced his royal rights
and all prospects of succeeding to the
throne. The king granted him the
title of Prince Bernadotte; and the
Duke of Luxembourg, head of Queen
Sophie's family, more recently created
him Count of Wisborg, but it is little
he cares for such dignities. He has
never regretted cutting adrift from
the throne, and Prince BernadOtte has
long been satisfied that it was no sac
rifice after all he made to marry her.
The Norwegians would be glad to have
him as their new monarch, but he has
no desire to assume the responsible
ties of a crowned head. Of stalWart
figure, tall almost as his father, with
clear, earnest eyes and a noble bear
ing, he would attract attention any,
where and in no company would he
appear to greater advantage than in
one composed of the scions of royal
ty. The princess has lost much of the
beauty that first won his admiration,
but she has gained the crown which
only rests on the brows Of happy
wives and mothers, and his devotion
to her is as fervid as ever.
He did not attend the royal wedding
of his nephew, nor did his wife. His
younger brother, Prince Eugene, was
there, but as soon as the grand func-
ton was over he lost no time in max
ing his way to the rose-clad house.
Prince Eugene is still bachelor. 1t
is said he has declared that bachelor
he will remain unless fate brings in
his way another woman like she who

forth this water was known as Mani

Foreign nations, however, had no
