First Subject Considered Will Prob

New York, July 26.-That Japan
will demand an indemnity of Russia
in the negotiations for peace and that
the war will be declared at an end
at the conclusion of the negotiations
at Portsmouth, N. H., next month, is
the belief of Baron Komura, head OF
the Japanese peace delegation, who
arrived here, as voiced by Aimar Sato.
who is the official spokesman for the
baron on this mission. Mr.. Sato, IN
an interview, said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the ap-
pointed delegations. The Japanese
will be guided by moderation, and no
excessive demands will be made but
the sentiment in Japan and Russia is
for peace and in the interests OF hu.
manity and propriety there must be
peace. The cost to Japan has been
very great. On both sides the loss in
men has been $4,000, Russia losing
100000 of these. The war is costing
Japan s1,00O.oO0 a day, and there is
a feeling that there ought to be al

as 10 any possibility of conflict with
the United States in the future, as
suggested by some of the American
press at the outbreak of the war and

about such a conflict. When it was

OPEN SEASON FOR EDITORS

The season for editorial conventions ap.
proaches. We are heretics on this sub
iects. We never attended an editorial
convention where anyone received nick
els worth of practical benefit. The good
time afforded is all we'll enough, and it is
delightful 10 meet the old-time friends
but as gatherings for the spread OF
knowledge they are failures. Each year
the attendance no rs less and the enthus-
iasm weaker. Why is it?
There can never be successful Editor
ialAssociation except along partisan lines.
This does not mean that many of our
NJ democratic friends are not good fellows
atddes not mean that joint social session
would not be desirab e. but we are con
yginckd that the indi.. n nate assoel a ion

fortunately is rarely the case. But the

means trying to get ahead OF the other
fellow. Now you think that democratic

most valuable suggestions to that compe-
titor do you? Not on your tintype. DE
Is going TO tell some of his unfortunate eX-
neriences.. for the benefit of that other man?
Well, hardly. What he will do is to gel

chump if he gives up anything of rea

The democratic editor of Boone and Car

from each other. All the little helpful
hints they could give each other would bs

we do not want editorial conventions to bs
