THE MAGAZINES

Japan's Sacred Mssion.--In the Jan
uary number Of the North American Re-
view, Paul S. Reinsch, professor of po-
litical science in the University Of Wis
consin, points out, convincingly, the nat
ural connection which there is between
the position and ambition sof Japan and
Asiatic leadership. The broader and more
representative minds among the Asiatic
races have begun to realize the unity Of
Asiatic civilization. In its essence, ORR
entail life is totally different from western
life, and frequently expresses itself on
the surface in customs and institutions
which seem to us bizarre and even bar
barous. OF the vast and ancient civiliza-
ton Of Asia, Japanese life is the flower
and concentrated essence, and within the
last decade there has dawned upon the
japanese mind the realization Of a sacred
mission, by which the island nation is
called to summon the peoples Of Asia to
q realization of their unity, and to defend
the ideals and treasures of Asiatic life
against ruthless destruction thru foreign
invasion. The spectre Of the yellow
peril which has been evoked in conse-
quence Is an absolute chimera. Japan's
ambition is perfectly natural and honor
able, and her attitude before and since
the war broke out has been unequivocal.
AS represented by the nations which are
its true exponents, the first characteristic
OF Asiatic civilization Is peacefulness;

wheat is justified on such ground or
on any grounds comparing the claims Of
one industry with the other, we should
be glad to see the northwestern farmers
granted the privilege Of importing seed

special legislation to secure the privi-
lege. The wheat imported does not
come in competition with American
wheat. 1t is not desired to import it
On account of the price, but because
wheat suitable for seed Of the kind
adapted to the northwest can not be
found in sufficient quantities, it is
claimed, on the American side. Ger

Architects and Reporters.

The Minnesota legislature shows a dis
position to hold aloof from reporters.
The architect s ideas of how to keep re-
porters from finding out about it are
Endorsed in the rules and nothing seems
ecutive session. The architect g ideas
seem to have been drawn from Washing
ton conditions, which are not analogous
to the local conditions. While it is true
that congress does not permit correspon-
dents on the floor, it is also true that the
Associated Press, which carries all of
the routine report Of congressional do
ings, is admitted to the floor. There is
no association reporting the proceedings
of the state legislature, but a number of
daily newspapers have their representa-
tives present, making individual and
independent reports for their respective
papers. Each report is supposed to be
complete in itself.
Then again, the congress of the United
States furnishes a complete stenographic
report of it's proceedings in the Congress
sional Record, which is in addition to
the official journal of the house and SEN
ate. The legislature of Minnesota does
not furnish a report of it's proceedings
and it is assuming position in it's rules
which will make it impossible for the
newspapers to furnish it. Hence the as
sumption that the house and senate are
going into perpetual executive session.
The theory on which the reporters are
excluded from the floor does not rec
ognize them as public servants. They
are classed with lobbyists and idlers
whose presence obstructs and abstracts
the working of the members. This is
so incorrect view that it seems unnec.
essary to state any arguments. on its
fallacy.
Reporting the proceedings Of the leg
islature is hard work, requiring close ap
plication, acquaintance with Legislative
methods and intimacy with the contents
of intricate and often weighty docu
ments. The facts in regard to any pro
posed legislation cannot be obtained
from gallery inspection of it. If it b.
argued that the Washington correspon
dents get their information from thu
gallery it is sufficient to reply that TIL
routine Of bills is obtained for every
newspaper by the Associated Press, AM
the Associated Press has access to tn
lclerk s desk. If it were not so, the AS
ISOLATED Press would be as impotent t.
correctly report the proceedings Of con
gress as the reporters are today to maxi
a proper and accurate digest of the pro
ceedings Of the Minnesota legislature.

Free Seed Wheat.

This demand Of the northwestern
wheat farmer that he be allowed to
import Canadian wheat for seed free
OF duty suggests an interesting view of
the question which the farmer may be
found urging with emphasis before the
matter is disposed of. The miller asks
for the privilege Of importing Canadian
wheat free Of duty for the purpose of
ufacturing it and exporting the
flour. The privilege of drawback or
free importation is granted in other
industries and it is no perversion of the
law, as a morning contemporary would
have it, to grant to the miller the
concession he asks for. -.
. But suppose the farmer presents his
case In this fashion: 1T do not
want Canadian wheat to sell; I shall
not put it into domestic consumption in
competition with American wheat.
With it I shall produce other wheat by
planting it in the ground or put it
thru process which may be likened
In some particulars to that of the mill
er; by sowing it 7 will produce more
wheat and will oblige myself to export
1t to the extent at least in bushels of
the amount imported for seed. Why
may not | then enjoy the same
privilege of free importation for the
preservation of my industry of wheat
raising that the miller demands for
the preservation Of his industry Of
manufacturing flour for export9
sHs We do not say that we offer this view
as our own, but shall not be surprised
at its appearance.

What Is Naval Efficiency?

The United States naval board, Adj
miral Dewey presiding, after reviewing
the operations of the navies of the COM
batants in the orient last year, concludes
with much positiveness that the COM
mand of the sea must be measured by
the number of battleships owned by a
nation and the efficiency of the naval
personnel, quoting the leading British
authority in naval affairs, Lord Sell
borne, first lord of the. admiralty, that
"without battleships no power can hold
or win command Of the sea- -
It is undoubtedly true that Japan g
chief naval strength lay in her half doz-
en- battleships, the loss Of the Hatsuse,
which was sunk by Russian mine, be-
ing in the nature of national calamity,
but the heaviest naval losses of the
Russians were entailed by the good Jap
anese gunnery directed from 203- Meter
hill, while three Russian ships were put
out of action by the Jap battleships on
the occasion of the sortie of Aug. 10
from the harbor of Port Arthur. The
superior handling Of the Jap battleships
off Port Arthur kept the Russian squad
ron in Port Arthur in large measure par
alyzed, and made it useless for offensive
purposes, especially after the terrible
tragedy Of the Petropavlovsk..
The naval board regards as insignif-
cant the results of torpedo practice dur
ing the war, as the hits were compare
lively few in number, and the Jap night
attacks with torpedo craft nearly all
failed. Yet the report Of the board
comedies that it was the disabling of
three Russian battleships by, the Jap
torpedoboat fotilla, at the commence.
ment Of the war, which gave Japan the
mastery of the sea and an unobstructed
Epath for her transports to carry troops
to- the Manchurian coast, avoiding the
long march thru Korea.
This success, however, does not shake
the faith Of the board in the supremacy
Of the battleship, which was, indeed, the
chief strength of the blockade of Port
Arthur. The floating mine played an i'm.
portant part in the operations, as the
Russians lost their costliest battleshir
by such means, and the only battleshiE
the Japs lost was the victim Of Rus
sian mine.
The preponderance Of American nava1
opinion favors the battleship, in spite Of
possible mortality thru accurate torpedo
hits and the impact Of floating mines

Likewise there is that other primary
matter-the value Of parks right in the

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
New York Press.

A woman seems to be afraid of pretty
nearly everything in the world except the
man she is married to-
It's terribly tantalizing the way girl
holds her lips in a kissing position when
a lot of people are in the room.
One of the mysteries Of life is how a
woman could bait six-foot man and
then go upstairs and faint because she
thinks there is mouse in the closet.
A man Is pretty lucky if he can get q
tie and pair Of gloves, which he would
have to have anyway, out of all the money
his family spends for Christmas.
A good way for a woman to break her
husband of the habit of smoking in the
house is to make it SO unpleasant for
him that he will do it in some other wo-
mans house.
