SURPRISES IN STORE

Japan will show herself in an en-
tirely different light from that in
which she has appeared since the be-
ginning of the war If there are not
some surprises ready presently for the
public. Since the fall of Port Arthur
profound peace might have reigned
throughout the Orient as far as the in
formation of the rest of the world is
concerned. 1t is rather astounding,
after the daily report of active mill
tary operations, to have this absolute
cessation of all news and apparently
of all activity. Whatever may be do
ing about Mukden or elsewhere, not
word has reached the public.
Russia, with characteristic faulty,
seems to accept this as necessary
phase of the war following the fall of
her great stronghold. Apparently she
objective point of Japan, and with this
victory her enemy will settle down
quietly and wait developments. Her
note to the powers with regard to the
neutrality of China would indicate
that she even considers enlarging of
the circle of hostilities and inviting
some trouble for herself. 1t looks as
if she and her commanders simply be-
lieved that they had only to follow n
1f -s;+ IL
nothing until something happened or
Japan made some overtures that
would open the way to possible
peace.
Now Japan has not been carrying on
the war in this way. When she cap
tured one line of Notifications before
Port Arthur she did not sit down in
ease and take a good rest before NOV
ing against the next line, but pressed
the enemy without let or intermission.
We are very much mistaken in her,
and her spirit and policy will have
suffered revolutionary change, if she
is not at this moment straining every
nerve and eXhausting every resource
to make the fall of Port Arthur count
heavily in the scale. We may rest as
sured that, Notwithstanding the in
clement weather, the great army
which was tied up before the fortress
now her own is being reshaped, REIN
forced and hurried northward. Be-
fore Kuropatkin knows what he is
about, good general though. he is, he is
likely to find himself confronted with
an outnumbering force and obliged to
give battle, retreat or surrender be-
fore the spring campaign opens. $50
The prime quality of Japan, sur
passing all others which she has ex-
hibited in this war; is her aiertness,
her habit of seizing instantly every
advantage and her incessant pressure
upon the enemy at every point and
without an instant's respite. We may
be sure she has not changed her tac-
tics. We may be sure that, not con-
tent with the command of the sea that
the possession Of Port Arthur gives
her, she is not neglecting to turn it to
account in the equally important land
| operations that are now the main fea-
ture Of the war.

THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT,

To the Editor: For several years the
agents of the leading book companies
doing business in Wisconsin have been
charged with pernicious activity in con-
nsct. IN with the running Of the Wiscon-
sin Teachers association, the filling of
vacancies in the teaching force Of the
high schools, and city superintendencies
of the state, and in the election Of state
superintendents of public instruction.
After all the adverse criticism which has
fallen upon these agents and upon the
companies which they represent 1t was
hoped,in the present contest over the cleo
tion of a state superintendent they would
abstain from repetition of the obnox-
ious conduct of former years. but such
hopes have been doomed to disappoint-
ment.
During MIR. Cary's administration he
has studiously held himself above all
suspicion with respect to the book COM
panies He has accorded tC each and to
all of them lust and impartial treatment
and has formed no entangling alliances
with any. This course ought to have
given satisfaction to all of them, but it
has not. Some of them evidently desire
something more than impartial treat
ment. Not being able to use MIR. Cary
ir their business, they have evidently
desired to put their trust in Mr. Sails
bury. and at present are pulling all the
wires known to their profession to aid
MIR. Salisbury's candidacy.
Allow me to call the attention Of voters
to the fact that thus far no one has Of
fered a good reason for not giving to Mr..
Cary the second term usually accorded
to an official who has discharged the
duties of his Office in an honeet. upright
and forceful manner. II M: WOOD.
