outcast, the curl y-headed Negritoid Eta.
From such race, mixed in blood and savage in
ancestry, we naturally should expect a low and
primitive view of woman and this we find. Woman

the masses of womanhood; and we find such a
morality regular part of the social system, more
solidly and completely organized, in fact than
in any other country of to-day.

1t therefore becomes not only interesting but
highly important to inquire what ethical or moral

guide them in their view of ourselves and their
future dealings with ourselves. And by way of
most salient characteristic, the quality which every

quality which invariably accompanies quick in

The question of the hour is, not what we think

of The question is What they are going to

remained savage, and is as much so now
as when it adopted as its national SYM
Dol the blood-red color natural to the
lre-worshiping instinct of the descendants
of tire-worshipers. The ferocity of the
Yellow Dragon which haunted the crater
Of Fugi-san, the holy fre-mountain, is
still the real spirit of the Samurai, and
this is why as a people they are great in
war. They are great fighters. Fighting is
their salient, if not their only greatness,
because the worship of blood and fire is
in their very blood. The use of fire in
warfare when it began to replace the
sharp swords welded into blades by fire,
the flame from the muzzle of gun, had
in it and has in it an intoxication and
an eXaltation which were i. and are relig-
ious and superstitious as well as combat
i've. The blood-red sun is the symbol
borne upon their flag; the god Koupira.

IT is our custom to invest those whom
we may admire in some one respect
with admirable qualities in all other
respects. The small Japanese nation,
engaged in conflict with the great Rus
sian nation, early won Our sympathies,
and the steady success of the former
has excited our admiration as their
valor and devotion have aroused our
enthusiasm.
For year our press and people have
been active in praise of the japanese
training, the japanese home life and
the general japanese method of doing
things. A people who can produce a
Togo, an Oyama and Kuroki must be,
we have agreed, a great people, and we
have been inclined and are still inclined
to so regard them in all national re-
spects. In SO doing we are making, in
my opinion, a great national mistake,
a mistake which NAV lead to serious

STOP THE PILFERING.

Some action should be taken by
the city and county officials to
stop the pilfering of shaft houses
and the thievery that is practiced
by light-fingered individuals about
idle mines. For the past few
years in this camp, this practice
has been carried on in high
handed manner. No sooner
would a property close down than
some sneak thief would come
along and steal tools, betting,
machinery; in fact anything that
could be carried OF carted away.
just the other day the writer's at
tention was called to an incident
Of this kind where the operator of
a mine had gone to Denver after
working the property short time
and after returning discovered
that someone had helped himself
to a large quantity of high-grade
ore that had been sorted and left
in the shaft house. Ore was not
the only thing that was miss
ing, some of the brasses from the
engine had been removed. These
nsrrow-gauge thieves who operate
on a broad-gauge scale think
nothing of breaking a lock on a
door; in fact if necessary to ac-
complish their purpose they
would not hesitate to break down
the door. The picking or break
ing of lock according to the law
is very grave offense and the
perpetrator of such an act is liable
to a heavy fine and a long term OF
Imprisonment, but this doesn't
seem to prevent the thieves oper-
ating in this community from car
rying out their robbing designs
Ii one OF two arrests were to be
made and someone made to pay
dearly for this work. the pilfering
of shaft houses would soon cease.
The county can badly expect to
interest outsiders in the camp
while this deplorable condition
exists.

through Gore canon and will take
another course, SO that he can
proceed with the building of his
road to Salt Lake unhindered. He
didn't necessarily have to abandon
the Gore canon survey, as he won

DISTRICT JuDGEsH1P.

the Republicans in this commun-
ity just now-that is. the leaders
of the party-is whether or not
Judge DeFrance of Golden will
become candidate for the Office
of district Judge next fall. This
has been the topic of conversation
among the Republican politicians
for weeks past, Notwithstanding
the fact that the time for the nom-
ination is far distant. Why these
individuals are SO anxious to know
is that there is one or more of the
members of the G. o. P. in this
city who would like to receive the
nomination for the judgeship, pro-
viding the gentleman now serving
does not come up for re-nomina-
ton on the Democratic ticket.
Should Judge DeFrance consent
to run again and want the nomin-
alton there is no question but that
he would get it from the Demo-
Gratis, and that without the slight
est solicitation. Should he be
chosen the Republicans realize,
and in advance of the campaign,
too, that it would be to the tall
and wavering quakenasp with
them, and those who would like to
shy their castor into the arena,
would be reluctant indeed in do
ing SO should they know before
hand that the present incumbent
intended to run. In lien of the
fact that the district went Repub-
lican in the last election the seek
ers Of the judicial position think
that will be the case in next falls
election should any Democrat be
nominated other than Judge De-
France. If Judge DeFrance will
run again, and it is almost a GER
tainty that he will inasmuch as
the Democrats Of the district are
united on his candidacy and are
anxious that he shall, the Repub-
licans couldn't possibly find a man
in their ranks that could defeat
him. The honest, fair and impair
tial services he has rendered the
people of the First Judicial Dis
trict during the years he has ser
we'd on the bench have won for
him the honor, respect and high
est esteem of all. The purported
strength of the Republicans in
this district could by no means
offset the popularity or the conf
dence the voters have in Judge
DeFrance and the strongest man
they could put up would be beat
en- hands down.

CHEAPER THAN THE SUNLIGHT.
Remarkable Argument Put Forward
at Town MEETING.

At town meeting held in Arlington
some twenty-five years ego the late
w. w. Rawson. father of the well
known market gardener, made a re-
mark which the older inhabitants Of
the town will remember. Among the
matters brought up at the meeting
was the question whether to use gas
or kerosene to light the town. The
town had put in few oil lamps with
large refectors as an experiment
One of these lights was put in. front
of Mr.. Rawson's house, in which he
took just pride.
Wilson w. Fay of the Heights"
made quiet speech in favor of gas.
He thought that care and cleaning
would make oil cost more in the end
Mr.. Rawson, always ready for an ar
gument. and with visions of losing his
fine oil lamp, arose and said: Mr.
Moderator, kerosene is cheaper now
than ever was known and the town Is
better lighted than l ever knew 1t to
be. and as regards the cost of gas and
kerosene. why, Mr.. Moderator, kero
sene at &c gallon. the present mar
ket price. Is cheaper than sunlight"
