CANADA HAS A JAP PROBLEM.
Dusky OrientaIs Plan Invasion of Do.
minion-Costa Suggests Alliance.

BUFFALO,, Dec. 15.-Louis Costa of
Ottawa, one of the Canadian repre-
sentatives of the international water
ways commission, when asked the
views of Canadians of the controversy
in regard to school privileges of the
Japanese in San Francisco, said:
Canada is confronted with a prob
lem essentially similar. The Pacific
coast is facing a heavy invasion Of
cheap Japanese laborers. Two of our
largest railroad lines now in process
of construction are asking that the
Japanese be admitted. They want to
construct their lines as cheaply as
possible. But our own citizens want
the Japanese excluded so that the for
mer may have the work and wages for
building the roads.
1T all goes to prove that Canadians
and Americans should sink their pet
ty differences and come together in
facing what may be a larger and COM
mon problem"

this city the music will be as popular
here as it is in New York, Boston,
Chicago, and elsewhere. With the as

guarantee of wit, Peggy from Paris
can be accepted as a theatrical Offer

term of military service equal rignys
with Christians, except in the one
matter of acquiring land outside the
pale Of settlement, would be followed
by outbursts Of opposition in many
quarters, with riots and massacres in
prospect. The gravest aspect of the
matter from the crowns standpoint is
that the sanction of such a bill would
seriously shake the respect and love
the peasantry have for the little faith
err. Students Of Russia affairs believe
that in the end the peasant will de-
termine the form of government in
Russia. Revolutionaries and reaction
aries are competing for the PEASANTS
favor. The army is largely peasant,
and on its loyalty depends the cars
authority. The relief measure will
permit the Jew to compete with the
peasant on theoretically equal terms,
but the capacity of the Jew would
give him under such conditions such
an advantage that to the peasant the
state of affairs would seem unjust and
| unfair. His anti-Semitism would
break out afresh, shaking the author
| ity of the car to it's foundations. In
the cities, too, the irruption of hun
dreds of thousands of Jews into COM
mercial and industrial occupations that
have hitherto been denied them spells
| trouble.
The Jewish reds are believed to be
the brains and backbone of the revolu-
tionary movement. 1t is impossible
| that the relief measure can affect theil
attitude or their activity. The prob
lem thus becomes one of the thorniest
of the many problems besetting the
car and his advisers.

"PEGcY FROM PARIS"

Peggy from Paris" will be at the
Keylor Grand tonight. therefore, smile
and look happy AMI assume an express
sion of pleased expectancy. Peggy
from Paris" is the most successful
musical play that was written by the
famous humorist, Geirge AIDE, whose
stories and Tables in Slang" have
delighted untold thousands. Every
body knows that Mr.. AIDE is witty and
in none of his works is the wit, satire
and humor exceeded by that in Peg
gy from Paris to entertain and amuse
persons who enjoy bright and merry
musical plays. And he scored heavily.
The play ran for months in New York,
five months in Boston and three
months in Chicago, and it is brighter
and merrier and more amusing now
than it was when it delighted the pub
lie Of those cities for so long a time.
Mr.. AIDE, last summer. prepared much

Boston and Chicago. Critics and pub
lie have united in it's praise wherever
it has been presented. Indeed, it must
have qualities that please nightly,
else it could not have made it's rec

patronize plays it does not like and
it must enjoy them thoroughly when it
keeps them going for months in one

Peggy from Paris" is bright and at

NO THOUGHT OF LYNcHINcs
Trial of Horse Thieves Shows Cham.
Time Has Wrought in Hills.

BELLE FOURCHE, S. D., Dec liz
Sela Helmer and Thomas Brown tho
first horse thieves arrested in this sec.
ton for many months, were brought
from Sundance by Sheriff Cosgrove
taken before the court, tried and sem
fenced, all in few days.
The men had taken two horses and
a saddle from this town, and after
leaving here went on to Indian creek
where they helped themselves to a
rifle from the Henry Andrews sheep
ranch. From that point they went into
Wyoming, evidently with the inten-
ton of getting into the Big Horn noun
tains, where pursuit would be diff
cult. They had both been sheep herd
ers on the ranch, and were anxious to
leave the country, but did not have
the price of a railroad ticket.
Nothing has shown more plainly
the change of sentiment than the fact
that there was no talk or no idea
among the people of anything but
bringing the men to a proper trial. 1t
is not so many years ago since horse
thief was in more danger of his life
than even a murderer.

JEWISH PROBLEM IN RUSSIA.

Of all the problems that beset the
unhappy car of all the Russias, none
seems fraught just now with greater
difficulties than that which concerns
his Jewish subjects. On one side is the
financial boycott which the powerful
Jewish banking houses of Europe have
declared against Russia. On the ot2er
side is the bitter -Semitism which
rermeates not only the higher classes,
who make up the reactionary party,
but the peasantry as well.
The Jewish financial interests are so
thoroughly entrenched that they are
able to talk convincingly: The cooling
of French friendship for Russia has
made it impracticable to float further
loans from Paris, and matters have
now reached the pass where it is nee
essary for the cars minister of
finance to make peace with the Jew
ish money lenders. These nave point
ed out that the Russian government
by its refusal to remedy the griev-
ances of its Jewish subjects, may rea-
sonably be held responsible for the
Jewish riots and massacres. 1t thus
becomes essential for the car to take
his relief measures before the election
of the new douma, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal.
On the other hand, the PRONUNCIATION
of the measure, which gives all Rus
sian Jews who have completed their

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

A row in high politics does not par
ticularly differentiate itself from a row
in local politics except in the fact that
the persons implicated are more inter-
esting and the details are more s1gn1-
ficant to a greater number Of people.
What must be borne in mind always is
that the personal element in govern
ment is after all the controlling one.
presidents, ambassadors or policemen
are after all only men, and what they
will saw or do in certain circum-
stances is a good deal matter OF
their previous training, their education
and their own observation of history.
In the Storer controversy are exhib-
tied three different kinds of people, all
interesting.
There is first the president, impul-
sive, confiding, frank and ingenious,
dealing with great matters in a famil-
lar correspondence which when re-
vealed to the world makes people smile
at the boyishness of the language while
the strength of the sentiments both of
friendship and propriety hold our ad-
miration.
On the other side are the Storers,
evidently narrow and petulant people,
filled with an insensate greed for rec
ognition, careless even of appearances
in their greed for presents of office
or Of favors Mrs. Storer asks for Mr..
Roots place or Mr.. Choate's place
or for any old persons place for Bel
lamy with the ingenious frankness of
woman in country store, asking for
27-cent butter for % cents. She wants
it because she wants it.
Again she asks the president to re-
model the whole diplomatic service so
that her boy, who for health reasons
cannot visit her at Madrid, may come

cannot but sympathze with mother
love, but that does not prevent an i'm
patient snrug at the expense of a
woman who cannot appreciate the diff
ference between her family convent
ence and the possible needs Of he1
country. The Storers seem to have
been leeches On Roosevelt, and he
stood the bloodsucking as long as he
could, and then got mad as a hornet
But his anger is not nearly as re-
markable as his previous patience.
These show the American side of the
controversy. Compare it with the dis
Greet secrecy of the vatican, and yor
get an idea of why Europeans smile
at American diplomacy. It is SO diff
ferent The vatican has not published
any pamphlets The vatican has made
no statements, has no supplementary
statements to make. The vatican has
not called anybody liar. Yet the
vatican holds the real secret of why
Archbishop Ireland was not made &
cardinal. Probably the vatican will
hold it always. The vatican does moi
