NATIONS MUCH ALIKE.

Those slight controversies between
Japan and America over the depre-
dations of poachers at the Seal IS
lands and over the local administra-
ton of California schools have given
some Russian newspapers, and even a
few jingoes in this country, oppor-
tunity to remark-though with little
judgment or justice. that these two
close friends are already quarrelling
and are nearing an open and fatal
breach. At the same time there are
reports that China is much dissatisfied
with the conduct OF Japan in Man
churia and that a Chinese boycott of
Japanese commerce is imminent
The two incidents are disconnected,
entirely but they are alike suggestive
Of a single fact, namely, that all the
nations of the earth are much alike
in some of their traits and motives.
The idea that Japan and America
were so closely united that no contro-
versy could ever arise between them
was once put forward but was foolish.
Equally foolish is the notion that a con-
troversy between them indicates an
end OF such friendship as has existed.
The two nations are close friends
They have long been such, and it is to
be hoped that they viii be always. But
their relatives are subject to the same
minor vicissitudes of fortune as those
OF other nations.
1t is the same with China and Jap
an. Some have been insisting that
there was an impregnable solidarity
between them which constituted a
yellow peril to all the rest of the
world. Japan was going to take the
lead Of China and the two would act
as one nation. But now it is seen that
China is as ready to boycott Japan
as she was to boycott the United
States, and that the relations between
them are no closer. despite their ra-
cial affinity, than between one of
them and some other nation
The fact is that in some respects all
nations are alike. Each seeks its own
interest. though none is incapable of
and cherishing the interests
of others. Japan and the United States
are warm friends but that does not
mean that one will permit citizens of
the other to transgress its laws or to
Infringe its rights. Japan and China
are friends, and blood relations, but
that will not prevent one of them from
seeking even closer ties with some
other nation. If it's interests dictate
such a course. That is the principle
which should be borne in mind al
ways whenever there is talk about al
liances, antagonisms or yellow or
other perils.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-12-03

ground that the ordinance was not
valid. The appellate court has re-
versed this decision and holds that
municipalities have the right to enact
laws which will protect young men
who may be enticed into saloons or
congregate there Of their own volition,
4 by bringing them to their senses
through punishment for their folly.
It's a pretty good Interpretation Of
law that has been laid down by the
high tribunal Of Illinois. It's the sort
of law that will work for the benefit
of the growing generation in Illinois
1t will have a most corrective effect in
keeping the youths away from saloons
and the vices that are engendered in
them.
Too bad, to say the least, is it, that
some of the same sort of regulations
can not be put in force by the au-
thorities of many, if not all. of the
municipalities in Kansas Few, how
ever. of the municipal officers of Kan
sas towns are willing to admit these
days that rumshoDs exist within their
confines. 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose, therefore. that they would or
could pass regulations which might
relate in any way to the management
of joints and saloons. the existence of
which they are not willing to acknowl-
edge, even though such regulations
would help to prevent a large number
of young boys from starting on their
way to the dogs.
There is no doubt that many of the
joints and saloons of Kansas are pa
tronized by, and the meeting places of,
youths from fifteen years of age up.
In fact good many of these nefarious
places owe whatever prosperity they
enjoy to the patronage of youngsters.
How long does anyone suppose it
would take to keep the minors, at
least, away from the joints and sa-
looms if the police had the authority,
and used it. to arrest them for merely
being found in these places, whether
they were intoxicated or not? A few
arrests, and few fines or short i'm
prisonments imposed, and the work
would be accomplished 1t would be
a work of incalculable benefit to each
and every commonwealth in the state.
and to the offenders most OF all.
It IS like a dream of the millennium
to hope that such a salutary condition
might prevail in the cities and towns
of Kansas under existing conditions
LOCALIZED rumshops have some few
advantages in that they, their pro-
prietors and their patrons can be con-
trolled in other ways than by impos-
ing a fine of SIS or $40, or SO many
days in jail, on unfortunates who are
picked up drunk on the streets and
hailed to police courts to answer for
an offense which they never would
have been able to commit If the ma
jesty of the prohibitcry law was up
held to the letter. SO far 1t has not
seemed possible to enforce literally
prohibitory law in Kansas or any
other state where it is on the statute
books.

NEWSPAPERS AND BOSSES.

An editorial in Leslie's Weekly deal
ing with the subject of newspapers and
political bosses contains this para
graph:
The typical political boss has no real
friendship for newspapers. anyway,
and no use for them except as he can
make them serve his purposes. Every
genuine newspaper man VIII be glad
to be rid of him. The new and better
system Of securing nominations will
also add to the business patronage Of
the press in the shape of political ad-
vertising. In the west and south.
where the new primary election sys-
tenn has been most generally adopted,
the newspapers have a regular rate for
candidates announcements, and are
thereby adding substantially to their
incomes. This is a far better plan for
all parties concerned than the free
puff" system so common in days past,
and it ought to be generally adopted.
The rule is good here, as elsewhere,
that what is worth having at all Is
worth paying for.
Commenting most pertinently on this
the Baltimore News says:
1--WE think Leslie's Weekly takes a
very narrow view OF a broad question.
functions and the opportunities of
newspapers are not actuated by mo
tives of resentment growing out of the
tyranny Of the boss IN his dealings with
them; nor are newspapers seriously
concerned about the almost insignif-
cant revenue that would come to them
from candidates inserting their an
nouncements among the advertise
ments instead of in the reading matter
columns.
THE view that newspap ers are nusi-
ness institutions is a perfectly correct
one, but not in the narrow sense indi-
Gated by Leslie's Weekly. Newspapers
that know their duty. and do 1t, are
displacing the political boss by stirring
the people into activity in politics. The
independent press is developing along
these lines in every American city, and
its fitness to perform the function of
political leadership is more and more
recognized all the time by intelligent
observers. These journalistic activities
rest upon a sound business basis. or
else they could not be expected to be
permanent. Every newspaper that
makes itself an intelligent and fearless
champion of the public interest can be
sure of the respect and esteem of It's
readers. And this is the real founda-
ton Of journalistic ESTABLISHING The
expenditures of a modern daily news
paper are so great that the revenue
derived from the announcements of
candidates, or any other political adj
vertising is but trifing item. Pros
porous newspapers owe their prosper
ity to the great volume of mercantile
advertising. which is shrewdly placed
in papers that enjoy and deserve public
confidence because Of their enterprise.

and begins his task. There are lots

heel to toe, and make it bulge all the
way from ankle to knee. But there arr
bigger things, such as skates, sleds,
toy velocipedes, desks, lovely dolls
that have crossed the ocean and know
ever so much about Paris or Vienna,

no end of perfectly delightful treasures
that come into the house on Christmas
eve and are found by their new owners

large to fill a stocking, and therefore u
little space must be left between the
stockings of John and those of Mary;
