MOTOR FREIGHT CARS.

An experiment is being made in
North Staffordshire, England, with a
acknowledgements wagon in the
transportation of heavy freight,
which may have far-reaching results,
especially in the United Kingdom,
where distances between industrial
centres and to the seaports from the
interior are comparatively short. The
motor wagon used in the experiment
has a capacity of six tons, with a
trailer carrying four tons, and is
carrying freight from Henley to Liv-
erpool, for shipment across the ocean.
II the scheme proves successful the
promoters hope in time to run motor
wagons also to Manchester and Bir-
mingham and to tap the big railway
companies at convenient points. AS
the scheme develops it is proposed to
establish depotS and warehouse ac-
commodations similar to those of the
railways, and it is thought that a
great inroad car be made on the
traffic of the roads.

pitch over Hearst, the question of the
hour in Tokyo was the exclusion Of
Japanese children from San Fran
cisco schools. Little attention was
paid to the killing of the Japanese
poachers in Bering sea by our Off
GERS. But the inference that any Jap
anese was anybody's racial inferior
instantly aroused the Japanese ma
| ton.
The traveller in Japan is so fire.
| quently told that Japn does not want
the Philippines that he suspects the
Japanese mind of dwelling or the
subject overmuch. The Japanese are
a warlike race. They are flushed
with victory. No sooner had they fin
ished the wal with China than they
began to prepare for war with Russia.
Since the treaty of Portsmouth it
has been the talk of the Far East
that they would turn their attention
TO us, and they have steadily aug
mented their military strength. Just
in the same way as the Japanese
masses thought that Russia had
robbed them of the fruits of their
victory over China, so today they
think that the good Offices of Presi-
dent Roosevelt robbed them of an
enormous indemnity. The truth is,
as statesmen know, that his action
came at a very happy time for Japan.
But the Oriental statesman is as lit
tie inclined as our own to shift to
his shoulders blame which is already
placed elsewhere.
If George Dewey had been ordered
to sail away from Manila bay after he
had sunk Montojo's squadron Japan
would not have made he representa-
tons to Washington in such a de-
termined fashion. We have some
Asiatic islands which are in line with
the spread of the eastern island I'm

If Japan should declare war or us to-
| morrow she would find use worse

the islands is cut off.
Should such a crisis arise, the
question would be one of guns and
ships. There are no battleships for
sale on the open market. Wealth
will no more buy them in a hurry
than shares in a water company will

IF WE WENT
TO WAR WITH
The JAPANESE
BY Frederick Palmer.

AS there is no great native African
empire the local issue of Jim Crow
cars does not assume an interna-
tional aspect. When the color is yell
low, and those who are yellow are
Japanese, the situation is different, as
we learned when San Francisco de-
cided to send her Orientals to a sep
arate school.
To nine hundred and ninety-nine
Americans out of a thousand such a
distinction in a country of free insti-
buttons is wicked and ridiculous.
However, according to the way that
we play the game, this is San Fran
cisco's own business. The average
American citizen is used to local self
government and not to having a gov
ernor sent down from the capital to
rule him. Japan has reminded us
that San Francisco's business is also
the nations business. She demands
that we fulfil those treaty obliga-
tions which require that all Japan
csc subjects shall receive the same
treatment as American citizens.
MOIdlly, We are sunny VI ouuJSCt-
ing the subjects of one of the gHeat-
est civilized nations in the history
of man to the same treatment as the
American savage. We condemn them
to association with other Orientals
whom they regard as their inferi-
ors. Politically, we are in the posi-
ton of sending a United States cabi-
net officer cross the country to plead
with a local school board to rescind
N of its acts. Such utter decen-
tralization is as incomprehensible to
the average Japanese mind as the
real meaning o tfhe notice which
Japan has served upon us is to the
average American mind. In Japan,
if it had suited his purpose, the prime
minister would have sent word to the
local schol board to make an apology.
A cabinet officer who temporarily
gains the point which Japan has made
by no means settles the question per-
manently. Japan has laid her finger
on a source of irritation whise har-
raising growth is dependent upon the
attitude of the Japanese government
itself and the people of the Pacific
coast. We have no exclusion law
against the Japanese, but there has
been an inclusion policy in Japan. In
the days when Japan wanted our
friendship and was laying her plans
for the. conflict with Russia, she fore
saw this danger which it may now
be her pleasure to augment. 1t. was
the understanding of all her states
men that the emigration of Japanese
