for the purpose Of manufacturing all
kinds OF standard articles OF American
and foreign manufacture, not protected
by patent In the new republic 1t Is
pointed out that there Is enormous
profit IN this kind of business, since
the managers OF It can place their
goods on the markets OF Central and
South America, without paying a roy
atty and without the transportation ex.
penses. Competition would be impos.
sible under the circumstances
According to an Official report by our
eonsul-general at Berlin American
manufacturers are suffering greatly
through the limitations OF their goods
placed in the markets of the world.
This is rather strange. Are, then,
American business men not so wide
awake as their competitors One would
suppose II almost superfuous to give
them the advice TO fully protect their
inventions by prompt registration, un-
der the laws ~ each country where
they expect to find a market for them.

JAPAN'S MORAL VICTORY.


Former secretary Of state, John w.
Foster, who is well qualified to speak on
all subjects pertaining TO diplomacy,
does not share the generally prevailing
opinion that the japanese diplomats
were out-generaled by the Russians at
Portsmouth. The real diplomatic tri-
umph, he claims, was scored by Japan,
because her statesmen had the wisdom
and the forbearance not TO press their
claims beyond the true interests OF their
country.
Mr. Foster expresses this view in an
interesting article on the subject, pub
lished in The Philadelphia Sunday
School Times Of Nov. H. He shows that
the terms OF the treaty OF peace gave
to Japan all and much more than she
claimed when war was declared. Hos
tilitles began, he says, because of the
conflicting claims to a preponderatlng
influence In Korea, and the continued
occupation Of Manchurla, Russia con-
ceded 10 Japan her contention In those
two matters, and, in addition. surren-
dered Port Arthur, Dalny, and the Lao.
tung peninsula. ceded a great part Of
the railroad in Manchurin and one-halr
Of the island of Sallhalin. and granted
valuable fishing rights IN all the Rus
sian Pacific waters.
Concerning the indemnity question.
Mr. Foster holds that the demand for
money compensation Is by no means so
general as to have the force OF inter-
national law. lie says:
THE demand for an indemnity on ac-
count OF the expenses of the war
seemed, at first glance and In the light
OF recent warfare. a well-founded claim.
but II is not go fully established I'm the
practice Of nations rs to become an ac-
cepted principle OF international law
that the varquished should pay the ex-
penses Of the victor True the action
Of Germany In the last war with Francs
sustains the contention; but only FIVE
years before when Austria lay pros-
trQte at the feet Of Prussia after the
great battle OF Sadowa, no indemnity
was demanded In the two successful
foreign wars Of the United S'ates--wlth

President Joseph F. Smith on reaching
his sixty-seventh birthday, at which he
arrived on Monday, November 18th,

over which he presdes, on the blessing
II enjoys with such a man IN charge OF
its affairs. and that he is in excellent
health, full OF manly vigor, and In
spired Of God to proclaim His word and
will concerning His people
No man who has stood az the head OF
the Church on earth since the Prophet
Joseph sealed his testimony with hts
blood" as a martyr has had more OF tho
love, respect and confidence Of the Lat
ter-day Saints than has President Jo-
seph F. Smith, the son Of the Patriarch
Hyrum, who fell with his noble brother
victim to religious hate and mob ven.

slew the Prophet and the Patriarch still
burns fiercely and follows the present

In every stake and ward OF Zion our
President is sustained by the vote and
fellowship OF the Saints, without dis
sentient voice, and lives in their hearts
with a devotion that Is intense and un-
mstakable. He is known for his lifa
Of honor, integrity and truth and his IN.

his fearlessness and sincerity OF soul.

gard the action OF Japan as In the high
est degree judiclous and statesmanlike.
Few OF the most civilized and Chris
tian nations would have treated their
defeated foe with such magnanimity."
Mr. Fosters article is instructive, and
he Is without question. right in his con-
tention that Japan won a great moral
victory ut Portsmouth. But IT is TO be
feared that the japanese people felt
that they were abandoned by their pro-
fessed friends and therefore made to
lose what they had won by heroic and
most unselhsh sacrifices on the battle
fields And IL they form their future
policy accordingly, II is not impossible
that the world may yet have war as q
result Of the Portsmouth treaty. Just

A WRETCHED FALSEHO0D.

A dispatch from Chicago dated Nov.
10, appeared in some Of the western
papers OF the same date, containing
particulars which were not sent by the
regular Associated Press dispatches.
II was Ia the effect that the Central
Passenger association. in executive
committee. announced a decision up
on two applications for half-fare per-
mits similar to those granted to the
clergy of the different religious denom-
tnations. One was from Alexander
Dowie. in behalf Of the preachers and
deacons OF his church, and the other
from the local representatives OF the
Mormon" Church, In behalf OF the
Elders Of that denomination. The lat
Ter was turned down, The former was
laid over for consideration.
There IL nothing very remarkable
about these applications but the al.
legged reason for turning down. that
presented by the Elders in Chicago. n
appears, was met by statement
which caused considerable discussion.
The objection raised, the dispatch saws,
was this.

of several lines that the Mormon Elders
worked on commission; that Is 10 say.
they received commission on every
convert secured. and that sort Of ecoles-
