THE YELLOW PERIL.
We Are Face to FAoe With 1t, SAYS
One of Roosevelt's Cabinet.

Notwithstanding the opinion ex-
pressed by some newspapers and peo
pie that no sane man would enter
tain for a moment the thought that
the suscess OF Japan in the present
war with Russia would prove menace
to the other nations of the world.
many more or less sane people are en-
tertaining that very thought at this
particular time. The Baltimore Sun
says member Of President Roose-
velt's cabinet made the significant re-.
mark that we are face to face with
the yellow peril" when he had finish
ed reading the full reports Of the VIC
tory OK the Japanese fleet over the
Russian fleet.
The Sun went on to say that while
it is not thought for an instant that
there is any immediate danger OF war
or diiliculties OF any kind between the
United States and Japan because of
tha iauueTS undouUted prestige in the
far East, from the trend OF the talk
among prominent members OF the adj
ministration it was evident that the
idea expressed so cugently by the
me mber OF the cabinet exist in many
minds, and In military circles 1t is
now recognized that hereafter the
United States will have to take japan
seriously into account as a competitor
for the supremacy OF the Pacific ocean,
which has been sometimes facetiously
referred to as an American lake. ia.
pan has now a much more powerful
naval force on the Pacific and, it is
thought, could easily take the Philip.
pine Islands from this country"
The people who are talking this
way may not be sane, but they are
talking good, hard sense, all the same,
which will be proven in the next ten
years or earlier. Another paper says
famous Ameican admiral In talking
to a newspaper correspondent last
week in Washington made the remark
that before many years America would
have TO fight Japan, as her success
over Russia would completely turn
the heads Of the stald, conservative
Jap and he will go good many steps
further than otherwise would have
been the case"
The old admiral further said that
lie was AFRAID Uhat The ambitions OF
the Japanese will spread at seriously
rapid rate and that they may next
take some steps in China that will not
meet with the good opinion of the
rest of the world, which will then be-
gin TO open It's eyes to the fact that 1T
las been placing It's sympathy with
mighty wary lot Of people," This old
admiral may not be sane, but he talks
powerful lot OF hard, common sense,
as time will show. We believe that
tue United States and Japan will
clash just as soon as Japan RECEIVERS
from the war she is now fighting.

people, and they Will not be satisfied

This feature appears already under

They are naturally dry, and no amount
Of agitation could ever induce a yes
vote in them. Then there are other
towns, and nearly all OF the cities, that

there is always strong sentiment in
favor OF the sale of liquor On the
bare, abstract proposition, these towns
would always vote "yes." But when
il gets down to details; when the ques-
ton is not only, Shall liquor be sold?
but, How shall it be sold and, BY
whom shall it be sold the proposition
is very different. To the minority OF

Then comes the question of enforce

feel that as they were beaten it is
up to the other people to enforce the

many who prefer to see the
farce in order that
next year the town, in disgust, may

How do the directors 20 the delin-
quent tax law meet the common sense
proposition that the man that, being
able. will nor pay a legally assessed
tax himself, has no right to vote away
the taxes paid by other men?- ST.
Adams Messenger.
That's the argument for the new law,
in a nutshell 1t looks plausible
enough on the surface. But there are
some other things to consider. Didn't
the old law provide machinery a-plenty
for collecting taxes? What's the need
of double penalty? It's not accurate
to say that the delinquents have no
interests at stake. They still have
their taxes to pay, regardless of the
Acknowledgement, and when paid they
are contributing money that has already
been voted away without their voice.
And as to Sinking, who is the worst
offender, the man who doesnt-perhaps
because he cannot-come promptly to
time with his taxes, or his more prov
ident neighbor, who defrauds the
treasury of far greater sum year in
and out by false returns and tax
Why a disfranchisement
for the former and not for the latter?
Why take away a mans vote at town
and village meetings because he is a
but allow him TO vote at
state and school elections? Why offer
a premium for slack taxpayers to hold
off until some interested candidate
buys their vote at March meeting by
paying their tax? A person may have
not the slightest sympathy with tax
evasion and still hold that this new
law violates Justice and public policy.
