Japan's Probable Terms of Peace
Adacfi Kinnosuke discusses, in a logically
impressive article in the May number Of
the North American Review, the Prob
able Japanese Terms Of Peace" At the
head Of. his article, the writer quotes the
second section Of the Shimonoseki treaty,
providing for the cession of Port Arthur
to the Japanese after the war between
China and Japan. the section which ia
pan was compelled to revise by the com
bined pressure Of Russia, France and Ger
many. The reassertion of the provisions
of this section Of the treaty, Mr.. Kinnosu-
Ike thinks will be the first item in the
peace terms. The object which Japan
keeps steadily in view, in the prosecution
of the war with Russia, is the establish
ment Of, such conditions in the far east
as will absolutely guarantee her national
existence and SAFETY. and the peace terms

SIORK PARTY IS
LATEST IN EAST
Bride of One Year Is Honor
Guest and Symbolic Feast
Is Feature.
New York Sun Special Service.

EImira, n. Y, May 3.-An innovation
in social entertainments has beer intro
duced here by Congressman and Mrs.
J. Sloate Fassett-''a stork party for
their daughter, Mrs. Frederick Gray
Hodgson of Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Hodgson
came here a week ago for a visit with
her parents, and there has been lively
round of social events in her honor.
Then, as a sednoff for their daughter,
bride of one year, the Fassetts invited
all her chums Of former days to their
home for a stork party.
None of the guests, all of whom were
women, ever before heard of stork
party, but they all showed UP early for
the affair. There was no inkling as to
what it was all about, until the guests
had been ushered into the diningroom.
The table was handsomely decorated,
the most striking of the decorations be
ing huge stork. It stood in the CEN
ter of the table, its beal, gracefully
pointed in the direction of Mrs. Hodg-
son IS place.
The place cards were decorated with
pictures of storks and other things
which the story books tell of as accom-
panying the Joy giving birds in their
pilgrimages about the country.
The climax came when the loving cup
was sent on its rounds. When taste
of its contents revealed that the cup
| held only milk, not a smile was shown.
Each one took the hint as the cup jour
neyed along, so that every diner touch
ing her lips had the same surprise.

A New Profession.

Where a disagreement between en-
ployer and employee becomes a strike,
it soon develops into test Of strength
between them. In the early stages of
these contests the workmen usually had
the advantage of public sympathy. Tho
companies found it almost impossible
to get men to do their work, or when
they did get them they were either
shamed out Of their attitude or driv-
en- off.
The necessities of employers has curl
ously enough led to the invention of
new professionalism of the strike
breaker Now, wherever there is big
labor strike there is the strikebreaker
also. One man, James Farley, is cred
tied with having brought this trade to
perfection that exceeds even the Or
ganization of the strikers themselves.
His plan is to gather together adven.
furious spirits, men who will go into the
breaking of strike for the love OF the
excitement. There are plenty Of such
men in America, and Farley has their
names and addresses. He is able to call
together from eight to ten thousand
men in any part Of the country on short
notice. He makes a speciality of street
car strikes, preferring that brand Of
work because he is an experienced
streetcar employee and knows al
branches of the work from running {
motor to running the office. The sue
cess Of Farley has been phenomenal ane
his profits from his peculiar enterprise
are said to be enormous. He owns /
fine home, has fast horses and lives llk'
a nabob. Being pioneer, he has thu
cream of the business, and many street
car companies are said to pay him grea
sums as retainers. When strike is OF
they want help quickly, and the wa!
to get it is to have first call on Far
lev's army. To have assurance Of thl
they must pay.
Farley is g. type Of the citizen o
no country who is constantly makln'
his aDpearance in the world. Had h
lived earlier he might have commando
the Flying Dutchman or lain in wal
with Drake for the Spanish fleet. l.
the rebellion times he might have bee
a Mosby or a Morgan. AS sailor n
would have reveled in blockade rur
MING: in war, an irregular comman
with plenty Of action would have suite
him. He would have made a dand
pirate. Such a man as Farley WILL a.
ways find employment. III .s..

BOOM FOR POPPY
Women Protest Against Wilson's
Plan to Promote Home Pro-

New York Sun Special Service.

49, Washington, May 3.-Secretary Will
son, and other officials of the agrlcul-
tural department are being bombarded
with protests from the Women IS Chris
tian Temperance Union and other WON
ems organizations because Of the at
tempt Of the department. to grow
opium in the United States.
It has been discovered that opium
can be produced in this country at a
profit, and in the near future the Ameri-
can farmer will be in direct competition
with the Chinese in the production of
the poppy. For many centuries the
Chinese, on account of cheap labor, have
engaged in this industry exclusively.
The agricultural department. has over
come this great difficulty and there is
now no bar to the successful production
Of the poppy, which means that opium
which forms an important part of many
drugs, will be grown in the United
States.
Even with cheap Chinese labor, the
cost of opium is high, and this is caused
| by the great amount of labor in harvest
ing the crop.
Professor Galloway of the bureau OF
plant industry has been conducting ex
been discovered that by a new process
of distillation the laborious process OF
gathering the poppy juice can be dis
pensed with. The poppy plant can nov
be harvested as any other plant, and the
entire cutting is placed in retort ant
distilled. Owing to the fact that opium
is smoked by some persons, few farm
ers have declined the invitation of thu
department to grow the poppy.
/ Notwithstanding this obstacle, and thu
/ protests of the women, the department
officials will continue working on tn,
lime they have mapped out and they ar
confident that within few years TIT
American farms will grow all the opium

THE COST OF TUBERCULOSIS

The statisticians have: declared at va
rious times that an Immigrant to: the
United States is worth $500 to>thesceuntry.
If the same estimate can be applied to
men and women who die each year from
tuberculosis, the loss, measured in money,
IS SIS, 100000 annually. But this does not
tell the story Many homes are left with
out bread winners, and in other cases
the bread-winner is incapacitated by the
disease, with the result that the home
standard of the living is materially affect
ed, thereby reducing the health and eff
ficiency Of the mother and children.
The death list of 100000 each year is
not the sole test of the ravages of this
disease, but there must be included the
long roll of incapacitated, uneducated, un-
skilled workers held in its wise by loss OF
physical and mental strength. The cure OF

it is the determining power for continued

Mr.. Hill on the Canal.

President James J. Hill Of the Great
Northern railroad has called on Secre-
tary Taft and given him an opinion
upon the childishness Of building the
Panama canal. He told the secretary
that after the canal is finished the
transcontinental roads will make rates
SO much lower than the all-water route
that people will wonder why they were
so foolish as to authorize the construc-
tion of the waterway.
This certainly comes under the head
of important if true, and coming thru
the special correspondence Of the Pho
neer Press, there is no reason to assume
that Mr.. Hill has been misquoted.
Mr.. Hill evidently thought he was
delivering a staggering blow at the
movement for a canal, but it would
seem to have just the contrary effect
on the public mind. If it is possible
for the transcontinental roads to re-
duce rates to the point where the canal
will not be able to attract business
then what is the matter with those
rates now? 1t does seem as tho Mr.

should be dug and dug Immediately.
