Japan, the New World Power.

Nation-building is supposed to be
a slow process. Yet within the men,
DRY of men living Japan has devel-
oped from an unknown people into
world power.
Only few decades ago the jap
anese were considered little more
than barbarians. Today their mill
tary proves and national spirit are
causing the powers of Europe not
only amazement but anxiety.
1t is never to be forgotten that a
great war is the test of national effic-
iency. Not only does it bring to the
touchstone the courage, discipline and
endurance of the army and navy, the
intelligence and skill of the officers
and the leadership of the generals and
admirais; it also tries severely the
public spirit, determination and self
sacrifice of the civil poulation, and it
puts to the proof the foresight and
craftsmanship of the nations public
men, their power to foresee all con-
tingencies and their capacity to make
full preparation for them.
1t is no longer to be denied that
a great world power has arisen in
the Orient and that this new condi-
ton is regarded by the European ma
tons as very serious matter. Even
England, which is Japan's special ally
in the present war, is far from being
at ease over future possibilities.
Japan has driven Russia nearly out
of Manchuria and will soon fully ac-
complish the work.
Why should not Japan's next step
be the driving of the Germans out
of Shantung?
If this can be done, it would be in
order to arouse the whole of China
and India ard drive all Europeans
out of Asia.
Under such leadership and follow
ing as the Japanese have exhibited
in the war with the Russians it could
probably be done.

Unions and Their Leaders.

Now comes Franklin MacVeagh,
who might be expected to know bet
ter, and repeats that tiresome and
platitudinous humbug about labor
unions being discredited and placed
in bad light by unworthy leaders.
Who chooses the leaders? Where
des the responsibility lie? If the
leaders are discrediting the unions
why do not the unions depose them?
Let Mr.. MacVeagh and those who
share his views look about them and
they will see that unions which do
not riot and break the law choose
leaders who do not advocate rioting
and law-breaking.
There are such unions--plenty Of
them and their existence consti-
tutes complete disproof of the twai-
die which seeks to make innocent and
confiding cherubs out of rioting ruff
fans Ruffians choose ruffians to lead
them. 1t is mater of natural sell
ection.
No man who goes out TO stone non
union teamsters and'to fight the po,
lice is an amiable and deluded victim
of wicked and designing leaders. Such
a man is a rioter because he likes to
riot, and when it comes to choosing
leader he and his fellow rioters nat
urally select the most radical, blatant
and seditious man they can find. Such
leaders do not lead anyone astray
1t is precisely because they are in
harmony with their constituents that
they maintain their ascendency.
Does anyone believe that Shea, if
he were eligible, could be elected to
the leadership of the typographical
union or the locomotive engineers or
the machinists, and does anyone be-
lieve that, if he were thus elected, he
could induce the printers or the en-
gineers or the machinists to go out
into the streets and riot for two
months at a time?- Chicago Chroni-

Pre-Nuptial Party.

A most delightful pre-nuptial party
was given Tuesday evening at the
home of VIM. Young on West Caro-
street, in honor of their niece, Miss
Lura SEWERS, who is to be married
'in about week.
The bride-to-be, who we all know
as a most charming hostess quite ex-
celled herself.
The coy home was prettily decor
ated in pink and white Those who
assisted were Miss Dietrich of Bre-
men and the Misses Woodward and
'Conger of Plymouth. ~
The house quite effervesced with
society's pretty girls and matrons.
By the way, Mrs. Gideon Blain now
of indianapolis, who we all remember
with so much pleasure as Florence
Smith, and Miss Oglesbee of Laporte
who has been SO missed since her
leaving us, were out of town guests.
Miss Dietrich sang sveral songs
most sweetly while Mrs. Young's
gracious personality made it most
delightful affair.

AFTER THE PASS HOLDERS.
Governor Hanly Gives Order That
Causes CONSERVATION.

As the first step in carrying out
what the state administration thinks
to be the law with reference to the
acceptance of passes by public offic-
ials the railroad commission has en-
tered on the records an order requir-
ing all railroad companies in the state
to furnish the commission with lists
showing all free transportation out
standing June of this year together
with the names of those receiving
transportation, says an Indianapolis
dispatch.
This demand on interrogatory as it
is called has been sent to all railroad
companies. An answer is expected
by the commission within 80 days
after the demand is received by the
companies. By July 1 therefore the
commission expects to have on file as
a matter of record lists containing
among others the names of public
officials who had passes June 1.
These lists are then to be made a
basis for investigations and prosecu-
tons if necessary to enforce what
the commission believes to be the
law. State officials have for several
days been apprised in an unofficial
way of the possible action of the COM
mission so as to have an opportunity
to "get from under" if they so chose
and although this is not matter any
of them will discuss yet it is UNDER
stood that many took the hint and
hastened to send in passes.
Governor Hanly and the railroad
commission declare that under the
new railroad law no state officer,
county officer or township trustee can
hold a pass on any railroad in Indi-
ana.

There are FIVE mysterious funds in
the state treasury that have been
there for years The unclaimed es-
tate" fund is about 25 years old and
amounts to over $4,000. Not sing
lie claimant has ever appeared for any
part of this fund. There is one item
of $3.50 credited anonymously to the
common school fund. 1t has been
turned over from one treasurer to
another since before the civil war, and
nobody knows even what county it
came from. There is swamp land
fund.- of s6.626 that has been on hand
for more than 40 years, $500 credited
to the Surplus revenue fund" and
$467 credited to the "old sinking
fund" Practically nothing is known
of the origin of these funds, amount
ing to $4,000, and the state can not
spend the money because no legal
provision has been made for diverting
it back to the general fund.

Japan Eclipses Naval Annals.

Now that most of the facts have
officials, from President Roosevelt
down, are more than ever amazed at
the results attained by the Japanese.
The most of Nippon are now the nav
al leaders of the world. The experts
of all countries at their feet. Incl
dentaliy the American navy is at fault
and liable to severe criticism because
it has not sent men to the far East to
study the action on the sea and to
profit thereby. Some other nations
have been forehanded in this and
have gained distinct advantage over
the United States.
Perhaps the most astounding fact
involved in the war is this: Since
the outbreak of hostilities the Japan
csc have neither built nor bought war
ships, yet their fighting line is now
stronger than it was at the beginning
of the war. In other words, they
have taken from the enemy more in
tonnage, in guns, in actual value, than
they have lost from all causes during
the war And meanwhile they have
annihilated the naval power of their
enemy. Such an achievement as this
eclipses everything known to naval
annals.

Bonanarte in the Cabinet.

Charles ]. Bonaparte of Baltimore,
who has been appointed Secretary OF
the Navy to succeed Paul Morton, is
slated for Attorney General.
1t was authoritatively announced
Thursday afternoon that he will sue
coed Mr. Moody, who will retire one
year from the 1st of next July, ac-
cording to his present intention. Then
Mr.. Bonaparte will become Attorney
General and the President will have
to select new Secretary of the Navy.
The Presidents purpose in install
ing the Maryland reformer as tenn
porary chief of the navy is to have
him in his official family during the
year that must intervene before he
can assume the position which he de-
sires him to fill The President be-
lieves that he will need the advice
and guidance of a friend and council
lor who is in such complete harmony
with his own views of public ques-
ton as Mr.. Bonaparte.

BLOOD CELLS.

IN HEALTH

Man is millionaire many times over IN
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
n adult men is FIVE million; in women four
and half million, to the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mill
lions Of rich red blood corpuscles If they
only know how to go about it. DR.. r. V.
Pierce, consulting physician to the irva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff
falo, n. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the first place, if your
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need tonic and diges-
tive corrector something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years age, in his active practice, he found
that an alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action. This
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it norrIshes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per-
sons blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
II you want to know about your body,
read DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser, which can be had for the cost of
mailing, 81 cents in one-cent stamps for the
cloth-bound book, or II stamps for the
dress DR.. R v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
