Japanese knows this, and all the world will come
to know it under the test of experience We desire,

gard and the friendship of other nations, and any
offerings to this end will always be met more than
half way, and cordially welcomed by the Emperor
and the people of Japan.

Two Cuban Products

IT may not be known generally that the island
| of Cuba can boast a larger snake than is found
Cuba's boa-constrictor, locally known the "maja"
pronounced ma-ha) can claim that distinction,
some specimens reaching length of sixteen feet,
and bigness depending upon what it swallowed
last before being measured-a chicken, pig
goat. I have in my possession the skin of one that
in life was all of fourteen feet in length, and had
fine open countenance that would have done credit
to and made the fortune of an auctoneer 1t had
mouth that could have taken in calf, and which,
when open, resembled the inside of fiery furnace.
To find the ''maja" in its native haunts and
jungles, must go to Santiago Province and
penetrate the forests, else start a chicken
ranch on the outskirts of the woods when the boa
is to put in early appearance. The ina ala ="

of national pride which mark their frontiers upon
alien races which are heterogeneous to them IN
all national respects. Blood ties unite the English
and the Americans; immigration has made the
American nation a composite, having more or
less sympathetic leaning toward all The question
is what will be the mutual feeling between Japan
and the family of the nations and am frankly
convinced that she will win and never forfeit their
trust their reliance and their warm regard.
She will defend her rights and she will seek
her own development, as will all the Others but
she will do so sympathetically One of the axioms
of our literature is The People of the Four Seas
Are Brothers" The moving force in the matter
in its close relation to public opinion, is religion
And with particular reference to this word pagan,
as well as to its general bearing on the question:
l would like to say few words, which do not appear
to have been said before concerning religion in
Japan and it's relation to the national policy.
Japan has no national religion. We believe that
there are many gates to Heaven that may
enter through Christ some through Buddha, some
through Confucius, some through Mohanmed,
some through Zoroaster We believe that every
man should be allowed to follow that faith which
best appeals to his instinct, his education and his
imagination. We have among people be-
levers in all the faiths mentioned We have
granted them by Constitution, as l have said,
complete freedom of religious belief. We have
a hundred and seventy thousand Catholics about
equally divided between the Western Church and
the Greek Church. Through all this the
Russian priests of the Greek Church have walked
the streets of our cities unmolested free from
indignity or insult, if they were walking the
streets of ST. Petersburg. We welcome Christian
ity. The Emperor and Empress subscribed five
thousand dollars to the fund raised by the Young
Mems Christian Association for the of our
troops in the field. We have come to the West,
some of us, to study religion as we have come to
study other things, and we have been confronted
with the works of Huxley, of Spencer, of Darwin
and of Kant. We have formed conclusion,
which is freedom to all and to every man that
religion which best suits him. Morality, the
formation of character, we believe to be the sub
stance; belief, the shadow, in the question.
And So in our future intercourse with the nations,

said War is Help Nothing known to human
experience so wakes the elementary savagery IN
human nature as the armed, face-toface and hand
to-hand conflict, the struggle and the thirst tor
one another's blood. And perhaps the greatest
pride which of Japan feel in the results OF this
war thus far is the success of the iron training
in self-repression which have sought to impress
upon our soldiers We have adhered as closely to
the articles of the Red Cross Society humanity

prisoner of the Japanese is much better OFT than
a prisoner of the Russians is to-day an axiom
from Hardin to Toxic. But this was never said
by us 1t was and is the frank tribute OF the
Russians themselves.
We even permit imprisoned Russian officers to
live in private houses, which rent for them.

Ambassador to England, has leased a house at

been known before. Japan is proud indeed OF
the humanity, sympathy and consideration tor

it is a question of pro-

The Magnolia Case. /"

What is known as the "Magno-
liza Case'' is not yet done with,
the Attorney General Of the State
of Mississippi having determined
to carry it to the Supreme Court
of the United States. 1t will be
remembered that the railroad
commission Of Mississippi order
ed the Illinois Central Railroad to
stop certain fast trains at Magno-
liza, the county site of Pike coun-
ty.
The railroad company refused
to obey the State Commission,
there were iniunctions by first one
side and then the other, the case
got into the Federal courts, and
the Circuit Court of appeals for
the southern district Of Mississip-
pi, sitting at New Orleans a short
while ago, decided that the rail
road commission was without
authority to compel the railroad
company to stop its trains at such
stations.
Attorney General Williams,
Assistant Attorney General Flow
ers, and Messrs. Green & Green,
Of jackson, have now appealed to
the court Of appeals to grant their
petition for an appeal Of the case
to the Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States.
The petition has been forward
ed to Judge Pardee at Atlanta,

Want A Fair Deal.

The wholesale produce mer-
chants Of Greenwood have regis
tered the following kick with the
State Railroad Commission:
We, the undersigned whole
salers and grain dealers in the
city Of Greenwood, Miss, would
respectfully show to your honora
bic body as follows:
First That the rate on grain
and grain products from Vicks-
burg to jackson is two and one
half cents per 100 pounds, as or
dered by order of your honorable
body and decided as correct by a
recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the State of Mississippi.
Second That the present rate
on grain and grain products from
Greenville, Miss, to Greenwood,
Miss, is seven cents per 100
pounds.
Third That the distance by
rail from Vicksburg to jackson IS
practically the same as the dis
tance from Greenville to Green
wood.
Fourth That the rate on grain
and grain products from st.
Louis, Mo-, and Ohio River cross
ings to Greenwood is based on the
rate from those points to Green
vile, plus the rate from Green
vile to Greenwood.
Fifth-That the rate of seven
cents per 100 pounds from Green
vile to Greenwood is excessive.
I'VE therefore petition your
honorable body to order rate of
two and one-half cents per 100
pounds from Greenville to Green
wood.

EDITORS and OFFICE.

Among these who have made q
life work Of editing a daily news
paper, the belief is quite general
that the editor should not be a
candidate for public office. In
the course of an editorial the 9TH
er day1on some public question in
Georgia, the Macon Telegraph
took occasion to point out that in
Georgia there were a number OF
editors who were before the peo-
pie as candidates for office and to
point this lesson:
The Telegraph has always be-
lieved that the real editor should
decline always to do Office chasing
stunts, because it has observed
that when All editor goes out for
vote getting the editorial pages
becomes pale and colorless, except
SO far as it reflects what are sup
posed to be popular whims of the
times as often wrong as right.
The province of the editor is to
teach and to lead not to follow
after the blast of every rams
horn that promises to round up a
few extra votes.
THE Telegraph would rejoice
to see every editor in the country
renounce political ambition and
address himself fearlessly to the
discussion of public questions.
Then there would be shedding
of light from reason, and not so
much bare dictum unsupported. =
The News believes that the
Telegraph has the right platform.
The real editor who wants to be a
force in his community has no
business to be chasing after office.
AS the Telegraph well says, when
an editor is a candidate for Office,
his editorials are apt to be, not
what be sincerely thinks, but what
be thinks will please the public
and at the same time advance him
toward his political goal The
calling of an editor is a high one
and there is no reason why he
should want Office. Certain it is
that any man of good intelligence
and judgment in good field can
make as much money out of
the newspaper business as he can
in other callings. Running for
Office and editing a newspaper
don't go well together and the
better class of editors all over the
country are realizing this. Jack

The Boy in Patches.

a country exchange asks,
What has become of the boy in
patches2o And then answers it
thus: Why, bless your soul, he
is out on the farm hopping cIods
sixteen hours a day. He will
come to town after a while to run
the banks and the stores and be
the successful lawyers and preach
ers and physicians. Don't worry
about the boy in patches. It's
the slick klooking, store-clothed,
nicely groomed lad you want to
inquire about. He's the fellow
that's going to drop through a
crack in the sidewalk out of sight
one of these days.
