cLosER rRApr CONNECTIONS.

Among the significant suggestions of
the presidents message is the following:
Having I'm view even larger considera-
tons of policy than those of a purely.
economic nature, IL would In my judg
ment, be well to endeavor to bring about
closer commercial connections with the
other peoples of this continent" 1t is
not unreasonable inference that in this
Mr.. Roosevelt had Canada particularly
in mind, since the question of closer
trade relations with that country has
long been a matter of serious considera-
ton, especially in New England and
part Of the northwest, and cannot have
failed to receive the attention Of the
president
If this inference is correct. the con-
clusion must be that the president is ia
vorable to steps being taken with a
view to the negotiation of an agreement
with the Dominion government for
closer trade relations and is prepared to
approve any action which congress
might take in this direction. 1t is po-
sition which certainly was not expected.
the very general opinion being that the
administration was not in sympathy
with the reciprocity demand respecting
Canada and would under no circum-
stances favor this government taking
the initiative in behalf of reciprocity.
Evidently very strong influences have
been exerted with Mr.. Roosevelt to in
duce him to adopt this attitude, which is
not in accord with the general repub-
lican sentiment.
The larger considers tons of policy
than those of purely economic nature
obviously refer to the more friendly re-
lations reasonably expected to result
from closer trade relations. There is no
question, of course, as to the potency Of
commerce in promoting international
amity. but nations. and especially this
nation, cannot AFFORD to. makA any great
sacrifices in order to secure such friend
ship. So far as Canada is concerned she
does not want reciprocity arrangement
with the United States except at ma
terial sacrifice on the part of this coun-
try. A reciprocity treaty which would
be acceptable to Canada would give her
natural products free access to our mar
kets, but would give no advantage to
our manufactures in her markets. She
would continue to protect her own man.
ufactures and to maintain the preferen.
tial tariff in favor of those of England
Thus American agricultural producers
would be subjected to a more or less
damaging Canadian competition, with.
out any compensating benefit or advan.
tage to American manufacturers.
Canada is not seeking reciprocity with
the United States. Only the farmers OF
Ontario are in favor of IL and their in,
fiuence Is not very great, The far more
influential manufacturers do not want
reciprocity. but are seeking a larger
measure of protection. 1t is not likely
that the presidents suggestion in regard
to this matter will receive serious con
sideration in congress.

FOR JAPANESE EXCLUSION.

The California senators and repre-
sentatives have agreed on bill provid-
ing for the exclusion of Japanese and
Coreans from the United States. 1t is
proposed by the measure to extend to
those people all of the laws now in force
in the United States and it's territories
excluding Chinese laborers. The state
ment is made that there are 10000 jap
anese in California and nearly 100000 in
the entire country Also that during the
last year more than 5000 Japanese came
here from the Hawaiian islands.
1t is the understanding that the gov
eminent OF Japan is not ayerse to an
arrangement for. the exclusion of Japa-
nese laborers In this country, but it
can be confidently predicted that it
would not tamely submit to having the
merchants, travellers and students Of
Japan subjected to such treatment as
those classes from China have had to
submit to up TO the time that President
Roosevelt directed the immigration au-
thorities to modify their methods in re-
gard to Chinese coming to the United
States. Japan will have use for all her
working people and undoubtedly will
earnestly endeavor to keep them at
home, so that perhaps she will not oh.
ject to any legislation by this country
that will aid her in doing this. But it is
safe to say she will demand for those of
her people who are not 1aborers equality
of treatment with like classes from
other countries. And this demand will
not be disregarded, for we cannot well
afford to make an issue over this matter
with Japan at the risk of importing the
friendly relations with that nation.

Leap when the Alarm starts.

The alarm signal of a draught is a
sneeze, which is a spasmodic effort of
nature to start up the circulation and re-
lieve the congestion. A person may be far
gone toward contracting a cold before he
sneezes, but the moment he gets this warn
ing he should change his position, look
around for the draught and move out of 1t
or protect himself against 1t. A draught
is something to be sneezed at-and to be
avoided Draughts cause more deaths than

"what a Fan. My Countrymen."

1t was hardly necessary for Senators
Platt and Depew to deny that they have
any intention of resigning their seats in
congress, But with what a diminution of
political power and prestige do the two
senators of the Empire state enter upon
the present session! Platts loss of infiu-
ence is such that 1t might be quite possible
to establish national as we'll as interna-
tional parcels post in spite of his opposi-
ton as head Of an express company. The

The Japanese are making provision
against whatever possibilities of danger the
coming years may bring by the adoption Of
a naval program which even a first class
European power might hesitate to under
take. One of their most authoritative news
papers. the Jill Shimpo, asserts that the
Japanese navy of the future will consist
of battleships displacing 1900 tons, with
a speed OF twenty knots and an armament
OF fourteen twelve-inch guns, and of cruis-
ers OF 1900 tons and a twenty-tive-knot
speed capacity but this is an aspiration
which there is no present thought OF realiz-
ing. What the Admiralty has actually pro-
posed and what Nhe Diet is confidently ex-
pected to sanction Is the building of two
IS BOO ton battleships and of four lAO0O-ton
cruisers all of which are to be laid down
in japanese yards. Two battleships having
a displacement of 10. 400 tons, the Kashima
and Katori. were begun last year and are
now nearing completion by a British firm,
so that the japanese are not likely soon TO
lose the position OF a first-class naval power
which they won during the late conflict.
