THE PATH TOWARDS PEACE


as a result of the Portsmouth
conference, the steps towards
some agreement are already
clear as well as the character OF
the treaty likely at last to be
made.
sThe instrument now forming
does far more than adjust the
controversy between Japan and
Russia. 1t decides the future OF
China. It settles the lines on
which East Asia is to develop.
It marks out the relation which
the United States, England and
even Germany and France are to
have to that development. 1t IS
world treaty. It settles world
relations.
"In such an instrument Japan
cannot act alone or independent
of other lands. The articles
agreed upon already yield all
that Japan demanded before the
war. The evacuation Of Man
churia, Port Arthur and the Lao
Tung peninsula, the release OF
the trunk line of Manchuria from
Russian domination and "pre-
ponderance" in Korea-these
we're the demands of Japan when
war opened.
"They have all been yielded.
The articles that remains unde-
cided, and in two instances IN
discussed, are the fruit and
spoil of war. The two major
items, reimbursement for the
cost Of the war and Sakhalin, nc
plenipotentiary in Count Ko-
mura's place could afford to waive
and none in M. Whites to con-
cede. If statesman called to
the issue of war and peace in a
conference like that at Ports
mouth, by his firmness, bring
war his judgment may in the
future be condemned, but his
patriotism will never be i'm
pugned. Let man, however, al
such pass waive terms his
countrymen demand, or concede
terms they condemn as disgrace
full and whatever the result nc
future proof that his judgment
was sound will prevent his pat.
riotism from being assailed.
"At such a juncture it is nat.
ural that both ENJOYS throw the
responsibility on the sovereigns
they represent. Terms M. White
cannot afford to accept the Gar
can. Conditions Baron Komura
could not venture to modify the
Mikado can change to modify
Russian resistance or adjust to
meet Russian punctilio.
"Both ENJOYS are in hourly
conference with their Govern.
ments and their sovereigns.
Both known what concessions
can be made, through either
looking to the future can well
hesitate themselves to make
them. Were both Governments
equally determined not to yield
no reference would be made tc
Gar or Mikado, as is now ex
pected after adjournment on the
articles on which divergence
exists.
eff such reference is made
it is because some adjustment is
seen to be possible, though one
neither envoy could afford te
make for himself. At St. Pet
ersburg or at Tokia, more pro
baby at St. Petersburg than Al
Tokia, the demand or the rejec.
ton at Portsmouth is to be mod
flied.
Gail signs point in this direc
ton. Nothing is certain. War
may continue. But the mar
shaled opinion Of the WORLD
neither combatant can disregard

shaded opinion Of the world

This demands peace, and de-
mands it substantially on the

with full future in the East.
The railroad from Hardin to
Vladivostok, the share Of Man
chura under Russia influence,
the coast line approaching Korea
with its ports, Port Lazareff
among others-these are all left
to Russia. As Japan has already
secured all it demand in the
peace of Shimoseki, so Russia
retains all that Russia originally
held.
"To such an adjustment Rus
STA cannot object, nor taking
Russian action from 1895 to 1901
can just protest be made to the
endorsement Of the cost of u
war the action brought, or to the
retention of SakLalin, though
the latter is of two little value to
make it an obstacle to peace.

south Carolina Establishes an Agency
in New York.

New York, April 1s.-An office has
been established here by the state OF
South Carolina for the purpose of OBJ
tanning it's share of this city's surplus
labor. Col. E. S. Watson, state com
missioner of immigration, formally
opened the headquarters.
I'VE are looking not alone to the re-
Mobilization of agriculture in South
Carolina - he said. but to the broader
mineral field in which we have valuable
property. We are offering good invest
mentsfo capital, and the state is seeing
that they are safe. We are likewise Of
fering employment to agriculture labor
ers, servants and the like in positions
wherein they will have opportunity to
save their earnings and in q. few years
become independent
Il believe we are solving one of the
greatest economic problems of the coun-
try in a peaceful and desirable solution
of the negro problem and in assisting
the general government to avoid many
of the vexatious questions accompany
ing the great influx Of foreigners which
has become a menace to the large cen
ters of population"

LOHENGRIN In TOPEKA.
Effort Made to Give Grand Opera at
the Crawford.

In the face of almost insurmount-
able obstacles the Crawford theater
management collected 81 each for seats
for a mechanical sort of performance
of ''Lohengrin" by the Savage Eng
fish Grand Opera company last even
ing. The word mechanical is used
in the sense that the players OF the
Savage company did the best they
could under the circumstances; that
they simply sang the lines of the play,
or as many lines as it was possible to
use. to the best of their ability in a
mechanical if not to say Iistless
manner Hampered as they were at
the Crawford stage, they deserve
torrance as they gave. The irony Of
the situation is apparent to all who
are acquainted with the bounds and
limitations of the Crawford theater
and particularly the Crawford stage.
It is unnecessary to criticise the
Savage English Grand Opera com
pany- That Organization bears the
reputation of being the best English
singing grand opera company in ex-
lstence- Doubtless there is room for
/ tuther development and Improvement.
because every succeeding year marks
progress in all directions. But the
savage company presents a very
/ beautiful performance of all the
operas which they sing. The roper
o eolre includes many of the classical
compositions, and ''Lohengrin'' was
me piece selected for presentation at
1opeka. The orchestra was one Of
me pleasing features Of the attraction
ana u was so large that seats were
PROVIDED for it in the front rows Of
Grand opera at the Crawford to
those who have had opportunities OF
seeing and hearing grand opera.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-04-18

where it could be presented properly,
is almost a farce.
The chorus work was far less effec-
tive than it should have been. In
some of the scenes it was necessary
for several of the members to vaeate
the stage before an evolution or
change could be made.
In the advertisements great stress was
laid on the point that the company
numbered $50 artists, and that a spec
ial train of ten cars was required to
transport company and scenery. Peo-
pie read the advertisement, and smiled.
Local theatergoers know too well that
all the scenery for many of the ordi-
nary attractions that come to Topeka,
is not unlOaded here because it cannot
be put on the Crawford stage. So when
the big announcements came it natural
ly brought a smile to the faces of those
who knew.
The attendance at the theater was not
satisfactory last evening by any means.
The lower floor was nearly filed and
there was a half filled balcony. How
ever there were some who have a hun
ger for grand opera and to satisfy that
desire, braved the dangers of sitting in
the Crawford theater, and reasoned that
to see part Of show. was better than
not seeing it at all.
It is indeed a matter of much regret
that Topeka. the capital city of Kansas,
has no suitable place of amusement.
Many of the small cities of Kansas
have better theaters and more favor
able circumstances for seeing theatre
cal performances than do the people of
Topeka
Last evening, for instance local thea
tergOers recognized in the stage setting
for the bridal chamber scene, what
was a regular Crawford theater stage
setting despite the fact that the Saw
age company carries ten carloads of
stuff. The small amount Of company
scenery which was used was patched
up, as the stage was too small for its
use, and when ''LOhengrin" went to get
in the boat, there was no boat in sight
He had to climb a bank about six feet
high which appeared to be as sort of
dixie that completely hid the river and
boat from view. 1t is this sort OF thing
that mars and detracts from perform
ances at the Crawford theater. Topeka
people are perfectly familiar with the
conditions and it is unnecessary to re-
capitulate.
The Indications are that the reign of
high prices and inferior acconmoda-
lions is approaching an end, which is
welcome news to Topekans.
