to all classes. Least of all. would one look for its manifestation In restau- rateur, but 1t Is a fact that if an American who had not the appearance of a gentleman should enter a Japa- nese restaurant in one of our largo cities-in New York. for example. where there are several-and demand to be served he would meet with DO. lite, but decided refusal.
 There is also wide difference be- tween the Japanese gentleman and tho Japanese commoner. Such a sharp line is drawn between the two classes that they rarely come in contact. In point of fact. however, there is not so im- passable a chasm between tho upper and the lower class Japanese us divides the mandarin from the cooly. This is because there is no Jap. in America at least. who is not infinitely superior to the Chinese cooly.

 A homely illustration of this tend- ency to adopt American ways of doe ing is afforded by the fact that Japan was the first foreign nation to accept our national game of baseball A nine organized by the students of Waseds university visited us and showed them- selves to be true enthusiasts.

- OR the first time since the
 foundation of the great
 American republic its chief
 executive has passed beyond It's boundary and is sojourning in a foreign country. If the present ad- ministration had nothing else in the shape of initiative to it's credit this novel and radical action on the part of : its head would distinguish it from all its predecessors.
 For 1t has not always been the cus- tom of our presidents ito wander far afield." Until the time of Andrew Johnson it had been the policy of the tenants of the White House to keep within sight of the great dome of the national capitol during the four short years of their elevation. That they fulfilled the popular expectation by so doing is evident from the storm of dis sent which made itself felt in all quar- ters when MT. Johnson undertook his historic swing around the circle"
 All that is ancient history, and the present generation is quite reconciled to have it so. It matters little to the up to date American citizen whether the presidential veto is illuminated at Washington or from the most undis- covered spot in the land. An official act done in the "big game country is as binding as if it were signed in the new business offices at the executive mansion.
 In Europe it is quite the fashion for executives to pay visits to other coun- tries. It is only the pope who remains at home. The majority of the reign ing houses are so connected by ties of blood that there is abundant excuse for royal junketing abroad. The fami- ly reunions of the house of Denmark attracted royal guests from several courts, and there is scarcely crowned head on the continent that has not paid a visit to "Albion's perfidious shores" These visits of ceremony are made for various reasons, some of state and others of private concern, but when royalty goes to Paris no reason is de- manded. The City of Light is reason enough in itself. Even the shah and the rajah and the nawab visit it for its own sweet sake.
 Seriously, there is no valid reason why the president should not have gone tN Panama, and there is a very ex- cellent reason why he should have done precisely as he has. There are mat ters of vital interest to the American people now under way in that connect- ing neck of land, and the administra- tion is committed to the task of seeing to 1t that the project of the great in- teroceanic canal shall not be ship wrecked for the need of competent pilot.
 The necessity of American super vision in the construction of the great waterway is no longer a matter of party difference. There is a pretty

tion for discomfort and even danger is sinister. Before the American occupa- tion of the canal zone At was probably the most insanitary locally on the con- tinent. It's condition has been improv- ed greatly, but there still remains much to be done.
 It goes without saying that the canal zone has been on its best behavior dur ing the presidential visit. There had been plenty of time since Mir. Roose- welt announced his intention of going to Panama to put everything in good shape, and Chief Engineer Stevens is not the man to be caught mapping. It is evident also that Dr. Manuel Ama- dor. the president of the little repub- lie, has left no stone unturned in his efforts to make isthmian hospitality Q thing to be remembered.
 This same Dr. Amador Is one of the most remarkable old men who are now playing the game of politics. He was upward of seventy when he made up

his mind to put a stop to the ruinous policy of perpetual revolution to which the isthmus was committed. Had hs been inclined to be interruptions. Ama- dor would have been dangerous lcad- CT for the Panamas. It was at mos ment when the American interest in the, canal had reached climax, and 1t demanded the most diplomatic and patriotic effort. Happily for his peo. pie. Amador was equal to the emer. gency.
 The president of Panama was prac- ticing physician up to the time of his inauguration. and 1t is reported that hs is still called in consultation by his professional brethren on the isthmus. He is a man of decided opinions, and he does not hesitate to speak his mind on all occasions. He is also man of exceptional attainments and Is re- garled as marvel of erudition by his compatriots. Even before his entry in- to active politics he had acquired the prestige of leader. Although de- vout member of the Roman Catholic church, he had long been a Liberal and a strenuous opponent of the union of church and state.
 By birth and position the Amadors belonged to the Conservatives-the rich old families of the isthmus which were dominated by the clerical infiu- ence and were slow in adopting meas ures that savored of modern advance ment. Dr. Amador was of different sort. He was firm adherent to lib- eral doctrine of the rational kind, and he allied himself with the revolution ists when the opportunity seemed promising. Strange to tell. he lost neither social prestige nor professional pre-eminence by his action. Only once was he forced by the instinct of self preservation to fiee.
 On this occasion the aged revolution ist eluded the vigilance of the enemy by rermitting himself to be packed in a lard barrel and conveyed across the isthmus as freight. It was decidedly unromantic, but the doctor accepted 1t as the only avenue of escape that looked feasible. His political enemies had determined to make an example of him for the benefit of less important Liberals. At the present time all Pa mama reverences his name. To the average fanaHiaH TTeSiocHS AiHouoi :" combination of all that is admirable "a patriarch of unspotted reputation. an educated thinker, safe and con- servative in his views. connected by birth or marriage with all the leading families of the isthmus and the one who risked. as man of wealth and position. more than did any other citi- zen of the republic in bringing 1t to It's present fiourishing condition.
 This is the fortunate Panaman to whom in his old age has fallen the distinction of entertaining the first president of the United States who has ever been guest in foreign country. If all the complimentary things said of the patriarch are true. he deserves the honor and all that 1t implies.

, pelled him to feel so keen an interest. Moreover, it is not absolutely correct to say that the president is in a for eign country. When he is within the canal zone, five miles on either side of the isthmian waterway. he is as cer- tainly on American soil as if he stood within the limits of his Long Island homestead. The so called "canal zone" is the property of the United States in perpetuity, and it is as legitimately a part of the republic as is any one of the remote Pacific islands that have come into Uncle Sam's possession.
 Of course the president and Mrs. Roosevelt have not permitted prece- dent to hamper them in their determi- nation to extract as much comfort out of Panama as possible.

URING the marvelously heroic
 struggle of the Japanese
 against Muscovite aggression
 in the far east the plucky lit fle Asiatics received the moral support of American sympathy in it's most un- reserved expression. That it was ap- preciated to its fullest value by the mikado and his subjects there is not the slightest reason to doubt. Until the close of the peace proceedings at Portsmouth there had been no loss of American prestige in Japan. Through out the kingdom we were regarded as sthe favored nation"
 Immediately on the return of the peace commissioners to Tokyo it came to us almost as shock that the terms of the treaty were unpopular among the masses of the Japanese population and that American intermeddling was credited with the unsatisfactory result. 1t soon became apparent, however. that this view of the matter was not taken by the Japanese official world. but was held only by the rank and file. The friendly relations between the two countries were not disturbed by the in- cident.
 But trouble of different nature was brewing. There was a revival of the '-yeiiow perii' discussion and loud pro- test against further additions to our population from oriental sources. In our discrimination we included the Japanese, who do not deny that they are orientals. but wish IL understood distinctly that they are orientals of a very superior brand, a fact which mo- body will question. The most unmis- takable example of this race diserimi- nation was the action of the board of education of the county and city of san Francisco fin providing a separate school for Japanese children.
 The position taken by tfe board was easily defensibie. IL was also in strict conformity with the state law. It was claimed also that a majority of the Japanese pupils consisted of men be- tween twenty and thirty years of age. Native Americans of the same age would not be permitted to attend the public schools for young boys and girls. and the board saw no other way out of the difficulty than to provide a separate school for the Japanese. of whom there are upward of s9a. This solution was unsatisfactory Co the mi- kado's government. and the Japanese ainbassador. the accomplished vis- cOun, Aoki. lodged d protest with the department of state.

An Extremely Uncertain State of Spec-

An Extremely Uncertain State of Spec
 uiative Activity Develops.
 New York, July 13.-An extremely un- certain state of speculative sentiment developed in the stock market to-day, after prices had yielded sharply under a continuance of the selling in evidence yesterday, and then recovered with some senblance of strength. There was no important news development to account for the decrease in the selling pressure. Most of the demand was at- tributed to the uncovered professional short interest. The shrinkage in the volume of the market was an accurate index to the effect upon demand of the recovery in prices.
 The lack of good news of a striking character to account for the recovery was the occasion for pointing out the contrast with the recent market when such news has become known. Every such occasion for some time past has been taken advantage of to market stocks. Selling of this character was not perceptible to-day and the profess sional bears apparently lacked courage to attack values in the absence of this liquidation. The extent of the recovery was not sufficient to force bear accounts to cover, except of the lightest descrip- tion. The intense dullness of the de- mand which developed on the recovery did not argue a feeling of great solict tude on the part of the bear of larger calibre, whose outstanding account is now believed to have reached very large dimensions.
 Some stress was laid on the prospect of favorable bank statement to-mor- row. Rates for call loans were, in fact, easy for Friday, which is accepted as a more reliable index of the actual money situation than the bank state ment itself, in the complication of trust company operations in the money mar ket with those on the banks themselves. The resumption to-day of a strong de- mand for loans carrying over the end of the year was the truer index of the money situation. Lenders are indis- posed to place money for that length of time, and by keeping funds in hand or in day-to-day loans they conduce to the ease of the call loan market. Banks have made apparently small gain in cash on the week, some of the estimates placing the figure at over a million dol lars. Secretary Shaw's continued pres ence in the city kept the governments

bonding and deposit operations in at- tention, and seemed to induce a feeling of confidence that the money market might be made to derive some advan- tage from the conduct of these opera tions.
