JAPAN SEEKING TRADE.
Would Close Asia to American Wheat
and Cotton.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca2., December 10
Among the passengers on the Nippon Maru
which arrived here today. were DR.. John E.
Jones, American consul to Dalny, Man
churia, and Capt. A. Sharp of the U. S. s.
Chattanooga. Both leave Wednesday for
Washington. Consul Jones is on leave of
absence and Capt. Sharp will report for
duty at Navy Department.
DIR. Jones is quoted by the Chronicle to-
day saying that the Japanese are carry
ing out an ambitious plan. which, if it sue
ceeds, WI close Asia as market for
American wheat and cotton The Jap
anese, he says are colonizng Manchuria
on an extensive scale with the idea of rails
ing sufficient wheat there to supply the
needs of Asia. In Korea they are carving
on elaborate experiments in cotton raising
These experiments have been in a measure
successful, but it will be some years, Dr.
Jones thinks, before either Manchurian
wheat or Korean cotton will seriously
menace the market for the American
products.
Under the new tariff, says DR.. Jones, the
cost of living in Japan has increased 20
per cent, and wages are being advanced ac-
cordingly. Incidentally, the standard of
living is improving.

FAVORABLE TO JAPAN.
Rupture Unlikely Over Fishing Ne
potiations With Russia.

ST PETERSBURG, December l9-The
Russo-Japanese negotiations, the status
of which last week was highly unsatis-
factory, have entered upon favorable
stage. and rupture is no longer anticipat-
ed. 1t is believed that satisfactory ar
rangement defining the extent to which the
japanese shall enjoy fishing rights on the
Siberian coasts, and also giving the Japan
csc the privilege of acquiring stations ashore
for drying fish, will be attainable without
the suggested appeal to the good offices
of other powers.
The Russians realize that a failure of
the negotiations would open the door for
japanese fishermen to raid the fishing
grounds at will, and as the littoral is most
sparsely settled, and only few vessels are
available for patrollng it, this is the strong
est argument in favor of Russia granting
concessions.

AN UNWISE ACT.

According to one Of yesterdays dis
patches a law has been introduced in
the Ohio legislature making it possible
be given chlorOform or other drug and
so killed. A copy of the proposed stat
ute is not at hand, but unless some
very stringent safeguards are thrown
around it it viii be a very dangerous
law. Provision should be made that
no incurable may be killed, even at his
own request, unless a committee of
reputable physicians decides that the
subject is incurabIe.
Even with such a provision murder
would be possible. It is an old saying
that dead men tell no tales. If it should
be made possible for anybody to kill
another. claiming to have an incurabIe
malady, the way would be opened for
some very dark crimes. Suppose an
inquiry into such a case should be in
stituted, a suspicion having arisen that
murder had been committed. If the
persons with the victim at the last tes-
titled that he asked to be killed could
anybody show that he did not make
such a request?
While it may seem extremely cruel
to permit one whose recovery is i'm
possible to suffer agony for days and
weeks and months, when the means of
relief are so accessible, still to Iegalize
killing seems worse than the evil a law
to that effect would be designed to. pre-
vent. The God who gave life should
alone have the lawful power to take it.
except when life is taken in the course
of justice, and for that we have ample
justification in Gods law.

DELEGATES ARE WELCOME.

To the earnest Americans citizens
who have foregathered in Salt Lake
City for the purpose Of devising ways
and means of inducing other American
citizens to see their own country be-
fore they go abroad, The Herald ex-
tends the right hand of fellowship. 1t
is a great cause that has brought you
together, gentlemen, worthy cause.
While one of your objects is to up
build the west, to persuade those
who are now spending their money
abroad to spend it here, it is not the
only object of your convention.
Citizens have a higher duty than the
mere gathering of dollars. If the sole
purpose of this convention was to bring
to this section of the country an influx
of wealth, it would not deserve the
prominence that has been given it. We
want more money here, true, and we
want more people. But more than
these, we want to educate the citizens
of this republic to the wonderful posi-
bi1ities of a section which is known to
comparatively few.
In the populous region lying east Of
the Missouri river there are hundreds
of thousands of reasonably weIl-in-
formed Americans who have but a
vague idea of the empire that
stretches between the Missouri and
the Pacific coast. Many of them still
harbor the delusion that the west is
country peopled with bad men who
pick their teeth with bowie knives and
compel tenderfeet to dance to an ac-
compartment of revolver shots. They
believe that human life is held more
cheaply here than anywhere in all the
world. and that our land is a land of
sand and sagebrush.
These people We want to convince
that they are in error. We want to
show them that our railroad trains are
as fine and as comfortable as any that
can be found in the east. that our peo-
pie are Iaw-abiding and law-respecting,
that we have great farms, great mines,
And if they travel purely for pleasure
we want them to know that no more
superb scenery can be found in the
world.
How can they be taught these
truths? That is a matter that the del
egates who meet today for the first
time are to determine We have album
dant confidence in their wisdom. They
are far-sighted business men who have
come here, not for recreation, not for a
junket, but to transact important bust
ness. Entertainment of various kinds
has been arranged for them, but the
entertainment feature is purely sec
ondary. It will not be permitted to in
terfere with the work in hand
Again The Herald extends to them
welcome. We are certain that the con-
vention will be productive of great good
to all concerned.

The question as to whether or not the
