Japanese Indemnity

one Of the highest officials in
Washington said he believed Japan
would now demand an indemnity
running well toward a thousand mil
lion Of dollars and other conditions
most OnerOus for Russia to meet
Great as the price is, Russia must
pay il" said this official There is
nothing else to be done. The Jap
aneSe are masters OF the Tar east
Russia is hOpelessly beaten on land
and on sea The japanese may now
take VladivOstok whenever they like
They may Gust the Russians from as
much Of their territory in eastern
Asia as they think II wise to take pos
session Of. The Russian advance to
the Pacific is at an end for at least
half century. It is now a retreat with
a victorious and apparently invincible
enemy at their heelHs
1T is within my knowledge" added
his Official, that after the fall Of Port
Arthur President Roosevelt was au-
thOrized by the japanese to make
known to the Russian government
that peace could be had by meeting
certain reasonable conditions as to
Manchuria. the LiaO-Tung PENN
sula and Korea, with cessiOn Of sag
5000 100000 indemnity. Furthermore
President Roosevelt urged, almost
begged. the car to accept those
terms, for humanity'S sake. After
the BATTLE of Mukden the japanese
raised their price to S5OO,0OC,0OO in
demnity, and again President ROOse-
welt made an effort, though a much
more cautious one than before, to
start negotiations The car and his
advisers determined to risk every
thing on the fleet, the hazard OF the
gamblers last throw with the dice,
and now, of course, the japanese
terms have been pusned up another
big notch

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polish ed
and put back, or they may be remoy-
ed entirely. bones are spliceds pipes

veins antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
juries before Inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
matUratiOn and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on the
same principle It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly 1t

Prohibition as to Cigarettes.
CPublished by request.)


The Indiana senate has passed a
bill making 1t unlawful to own, sell
or give away cigarettes, cigarette
wrappers or cigarette tobacco. An
fine of $50 my be imposed for TIE first
license, and for the secDnd nd sui Sc
quent offenses the fac may be dub
led in progression, and Imprisonment
timent that prevails on this subject
may be found in the vote Of the sen
ate, which stood IS to Z. Doubtless
if the question were tested in Missouri
the same sentiment would be diSclOs-
ed. Missouri has a law now prohibit
ing the sale Of these yillainOus things
to minors, but it is not enforced; ;
neither is il far-reching enough.
The cigarette habit is more danger
Gus to the public welfare than any
other addiction Drink destroys its
victim with greater or less rapidly,
cocaine causes violent insanity within
four or five years, and opium in any

can be instantly recognized by others
and so guarded against.
Wherever the cigarette habit exists,
its effect are the same, and ohServa-

same opinion, namely, that the pro-
duction Of physical degenerates, men
tai wrecks and moral imbeciles by
mems Of cigarette smoking, ought to
be stopped at any cost The bill which

Good Prospect of a Couple Of
Typothetae Offices
Signing.

Peachey & Lounsberry had accepted
a position in one Of the non-union
Offices. For long time 1t has been
known that even while a member Of
the Typographical Union his union
ism was not of very stable kind,
yet 1t was hardly expected that he
would deliberately "rat." Talking
with several gentlemen the day after
he sold olt his interest to Fred
LounsberrY, he stated that he was
through with the printing business,
and that he was going to get into
something that was not so confining:
To those who have been acquainted
with him any length of time it will
be great surprise to see him work
ing nine hours day. They wonder
when he will get time to go out driv-
ing. Sid has always had good
horse and many envfed theecomfort
he has always taken out of it. He
is not naturally a nine hour a day
man. Six hours has generally been
enough for him. The balance of the
day has been devoted to his favorite
pastime. We predict that he will
soon tire of nine hours day and in
a very short time will be an ardent
eight hour man. There is q vast diff
ference between theory and practice
you know, and Sid has always had
the reputation Of looking out for his
own comfort.

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION,

:. Said a speaker at the credit mems
banquet in Chicago:
1T is a tragedy that the rich man
for 3 per cent and the poor man is
forced to pay 800 per cent"
1t is a tragedy in real life con-
stantly enacted.
It is one of the unfair features
of our society.
To eQualize conditions it ought to
be so that the poor man could bor-
row as cheaply, or more cheaply than
the rich man.
But under our system interest rates
are based on credit. The poor man
has but little credit and he must pay
for the lack.
And if one lacks credit he must
have collaterals-some tangible
property to back up his loan The
poor man lacks collaterals. Perhaps
all he. has is comprised of a few
sticks of cheap furniture. But when
he goes to borrow on this meager
showing the loan agent demands a
big interest in order to cover the
risk. If the loan agent is shark he
demands rate which amounts to
confiscation of the poor mans goods.
The tender merctes of the loan shark
are cruel.
Some day philanthropists will turn
their attention to the poor mans
need and found loan offices-especi-
ally In the cities where the need is
pressing-at which the worthy poor
may borrow modest sums at a rea-
sonable rate of interest. j.
There could be no better philan-
tllropy.

From tin to fifteen, sor."
>~"Ah, yes! Now I have a problem
for you. How much water at this

Questioning Candidates is the Road
r to Success. pr -

The latest body OF organized farm
ers to declare for the Referendum
system is the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' Association who at a meet
ing held in Iowa on December g.,
adopted resolution: That we are
in favor Of the Constitutional
Amendment for Iowa providing for
the optional referendum similar to
the law of Oregon and South Dako-
ia.
There will be a: Joint resolution
introduced at the coming session of
the legislature Of Iowa to submit
to the referendum vote Of the people
of that state an amendment to the
constitution for the optional refer
end uni and direct initiative.
1t is not expected that the legisla-
ture will pass this resolution as it re-
Quires two-thirds vote to do so. but
it will lay the, ground for the organ
lied farmers, the referendum
leagues and the labor unions to
question the Legislative candidates of
all parties before the next election
If they will vote3-to establish the
referendum system. ssIn this way the
voters will be informed what candi-
dates can be trusted to carry out the
wishes of their constituents ON the
plan so successfully adopted in Ohio
at the last election. The voters are
beginning to discover the power they
have to secure legislation they desire
%
questioning the candidates of all par
ties and concentrating their votes on
those who make the desired pledge.
The secret of the success of this plan
is the publication Of the replies of the
candidates.. SO that the voters know
who favor the referendum system and
who are opposed to it and vote ac-
cordingly.

HEAR. We PRINTERS!

Inc open shop, long hours and
small wages are the only things that
are good for you, and the Typothetae
VIII see that you are blessed with
them ahundantly. Here is gem
from the organ of the American
Manufacturers association. You
might think that it was from some
European sweater Of a half century
ago, but 1t is up to date, new and
crisp:
Only the Open Shop Will Stand.
"A shorter work day to 80 per
cent of the members of the Interna-
tional typographical union means
more hours in the saloon, greater
dissipation, more money expended
for Intoxicating beverages, and less
attention to home and less of the
necessaries and comforts for wife
and children; hence a shorter work
day will do harm. This holds good
In almost all classes of wage earn
ers, but the experience of the writer
with the printers gives him the esti-
mate above made.'
This argument is beneath the no.
t1ce OF any sane man or woman, but
1t is very characteristic of the EN-
ployers' or Manufacturers associa-
tton. However, it Is just as funda-
mental as the argument put forward
against every effort of labor men to
uplift or improve the conditions of
their fellow men. It is also most
damnable insult to. every man who
labors. It shallowness is very an
parent and coming as it does from a
set of men whose eyes are blinded by
the dollar it cannot but open the
eyes of all intelligent men, be they
laboregs or professionaT men. It
condemns itself.
