What can't the Japanese do? The rapidity with which they have con- structed their latest first class cruiser, the Isukuba, shows that they are con- stantly adding to the list of their ac- complishments. British or American shipyards could hardly have built this cruiser in such short time. The Japan ese naval constructors began work on January IA, 1905, and it was finished on December 27, the same year, according to contract. It is worth while to call attention to the fact that the naval vessel was constructed from Japanese materials exclusively.

and has failed. Mr.. Cortelyou
and Mr.. Bliss have taken the
position that to return the money
would be an acknowledgement that
1t was a violation of law to receive
it, and such an Acknowledgement
might have a prejudicial effect upon
the cases of those insurance officials

The president doesn't like to have

some measure to money contributed
by life insurance companies. In fact,
1t is said he is FESTIVE under that con-
dition of affairs. In his message he
/ recommends that a law be enacted
prohibiting corporations of all kinds
from contributing to political cam
paign funds.
NO doubt corporations would well
come such a law, as they have been
taxed heavily for political campaign
purposes. Judge Parker, the Demo.
cratic candidate for President. has
the satisfaction of knowing that at
the very beginning OF the campaign
in 1904 he announced that the Demo
cratic party would not receive contri-
buttons to its campaign fund from
corporations. If the president had
been as thoughtful he wouldn't now
be worried by the fact that contribu-
tons from life insurance companies
helped to make him president.

No ,.ecision of Florida's supreme
court in years has given more general
satisfaction to the people than the de-
cision handed down last week in
which it is held that when the terms
of conditional pardon have been
broken the guilty one can be made to
re-enter the penitentiary and serve
the balance of his term for which he
was conditionally pardoned. The Live
Oak Democrat, in discussing this mat
ter, says: Under that decision the
man who violates his conditional par
don, even if the violation occurs after
the time has expired for which he
was sentenced can be rearrested and
compelled to serve out the remainder
Of the sentence. This is sound sense
and we are glad to know that il is
sound law, for it will give to the con-
ditional pardon system a greatly in
creased value as an agency to dis
courage crime"

case is before the court.

employer in the blacklist light.
On the other hand there are hun
dreds OF disreputable and naturally
dishonest laborers who make 1t
practice to obtain all the advances
possible from employers with no in
tention of doing anything else than
skipping out at the first favorable OPP
portunity and leaving the creditor
with the loss to bear. From this
class, that class of employers who
treat their employees as men, who pay
them every cent due them, and who
run their commiSsarieS as convent

profit making part of the business,
charging no more than fair profit
on the goods they sell in them, and
this class is by no means an excep-
ton in this section, are as great suf-
ferers as the other In fact they often
suffer worse for the reason that they
are the more easily imposed upon.
The remedy, as We have said be-
fore, lies in the cash system, and
further in a rigid enforcement of the
vagrancy laws.
There may not be labor enough in
the country to supply the demand
but with that here compelled to work
or go hungry or to Jail there would
not be the apparent deficiency that
now exists.
