races little in common exists in So
clal methods and aspirations. While
the Japanese are an interesting and
deserving people, Americans do not
want them for kinfolks.
Not much of value was obtained
from the Japanese when communica-
tion was first opened about fifty years
ago. They have learned a vast deal
from the white race and been acute
in the application of the borrowed
knowledge Their navles and mill
tary science are modelled from the
nations of the west. Their machin-
cry and practical science are copied
from the same source, and so are
their railroads. electric appliances
and commercial methods. Their
constitutional forms of government
are wholly initiative. The torpedoes
with which they stole march on
the Russian ships were invented by
Americans, Englishmen or French
men. Their latest war with the top
heavy autocracy bent on wicked ter
ritorial aggression. They would be
foolish to plume themselves on that
conflict as a true test of racial super
iority or equality. When the truth
Is calmly analyzed IL will be per-
ceived that the people OF the United
States have little that they can learn
from the Japanese with any advant
age to themselves. The progress OF
the white race was satisfactory dur
ing the centuries that Japan was
sealed against all foreign. inter-
course. What went on during that
period among the japanese was of
little consequence to the rest of man
kind.

LearnIng from the Japanese.

AS a straw showing which way
public sentiment goes on the JaDa
nese question, the following from the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat is at least
suggestive:
In n few respects the qualities OF
the people of Japan are worth the
study OF the most advanced races of
the earth but 1t is easy to go into
an ideallzation OF these points far
beyond their material value. The
politeness of the japanese, their con-
sideration for each other and free
dom from rowdyism are commend
able traits and proofs OF civilization.
Their poetic enjoyment of nature has
a klnshlp with the spirit of the an
cient Greeks. Their courage, which
has a basis OF fatalism. is admitted.
In this particular they equal the
Turks. In patriotic devotion, mixed
with unmeasured pride in an ex-
tremely old dynasty, they are capa-
BILE of any sacrifice. Patient indus
try, adaptive quickness and manual
skill are among their best capabili-
ties. Some OF these characteristics
are due TO the dense population OF
the few islands composing the en-
pire. Where the average of people
is hundreds to the square mile there
l.A oil "A OF al
Minute training is a result of crowd
ed conditions where the farms are
small patches OF land, and the handi-
crafts are adjusted to small means
and low wages. Freedom from
rufIlianlsm Is an unquestlonable vlr-
tue, and. like the pollteness, comes
IN some degree from the terms on
which poDulace society is carried
on. Quickness In imitation is an eyi
dent Japanese gift.
But TO say that we have as. much
10 learn from the Japanese as the
Japanese have to learn from us Is
an extravagant statement of the case.
Raclally, speaking In the physical i
sense, the people OF the United States
have no desire or intention to take
anything from the Mongolian stock.
The Japanese are undersized, and
not handsome according TO any oc-
cidental standard. No intermingling |
OF their strain OF blood is wanted or
could be viewed as other than a low

race will tolerate no yellow or other

The meeting of the county board OF

last night in the office of the poaru ol

hers could reach an agreement upon
what basis the assessment of franchises

Each of the five members had diner

by lengthy arguments in ms own

that he had "bitten several times in

and in lengthy and long worded ar

he would under no circumstances wore

the last years assessment entered lll'o
the settlement of the question in the
slightest.
Another supervisor wanted a reduc-
tion of % per cent on the assessment
of all the franchises of last year. Alex
ander objected to this also, as did one
or two other members of the board.
Another supervisor suggested that
assessment be made upon basis of 20
per cent increase of last years assess

computations upon that suggestion.
The result was entirely satisfactory.

model upon the sculptor, Lucio Settala
who has attempted to commit suicide
at the foot of his masterpiece, a statue
called THE Sphinx
The first act contains a love scene
between Lucio and his wife, Silvia,
which is called the most poetic and
most impassioned bit of sentiment en-
bodied in any modern drama.
The role of Lucio, the sculptor, is
admirably adapted to the peculiar
talents of Mr.. Mestayer who proba bly,

new part.

Unlike the Ibsen dramas, this play,
which presents an old problem, admits

WELL STAGED IS
BELASCO PLAY
THE "PRlDE OF JENNIC0" is A
ROMANTIC OFFERING
Amelia Gardner's Portrayal Of the
Madcap Princess Was WomanIy
Players Grasp Situations
lntellieentIy

By wednesday "The Pride Of Jenl
nico" should be q production of which
the Belasco company may well be
proud.
Last night unfamiliarity with their
lines on the part of some members of
the company and the frequent inter-
ference of the prompter marred an
otherwise good performance.
The Pride of Jennico," a four-act
romantic play, is suggestive of when
Knighthood Was i'm Flower" and has
opportunities for strong acting. For
the most part the Belasco players have
grasped these situations and made the
best of them. The piece is well staged
and from the standpoint of scenic
effect there Is nothing to be desired.
Amelia Gardners portrayal of the
madcap princess who wanted a wom-
ans right to be loved as a woman and
not as princess and was willing to
go to any end to attain that right was
all that the most eXacting could desire.
Her princess was, first of all, woman
with woman's heart and that
tempestuous question mark in her ma
ture that makes her especially ovable.
The author has created a part worth
the action of Amelia Gardner is not
found wanting. There are emotions
varied and numerous, and Miss Gard
ner portrayed them all.
Will Walling played the part of Jen-
nico, who marries the princess, doubts
her and then spends days of misery
in trying to make up for his mstrust
He bears a charmed life, but he has a
busy time defending it, and when ne
is not making love he is fighting duel
In the first act Mr.. Walling did not
seem to have lost himself sufficiently
in the part, but he warmed up as the
play progressed, and in the last act
when he has to fight half a dozen OF
more men sngle-handed, he was quite
master of the situation.
Juliet Crosby did a strong piece OF
acting as the gypsy girl Michel, exhib-
iting in her Interpretation the fiery
temperament and love for revenge of a
woman of the wandering people who
feels she has been wronged.
Howard Scott's Baron Won Krappitz
was one of the most artistic bits in
the play. and the actor mastered all
the ecCentricties of the old man who
could never remember the name of any
one.
William Bernard is the william, and a
horrid villain he is, with penchant for
killing people at every opportunity.

KELLY AND W0LETTE
STEAL APPLAUSE
AT THE 0RPHEUM

with only three new acts on the bill
the Orpheum this week Is much the
same as 1t was last. Besides being
few, the new acts do not stand above
the average of merit and 1t is to the
holdovers that the seeker for amuse-

If the bill at the Orpheum were a
regular play in which all the members
of the cast took part 1t could be said
that Kelly and Violette steal the show
for the applause which their really good
act is given is more than generous.
The songs and business were greatly
appreciated by last evenings audi
