raphers' Union said o-day that the telegraph
operators of Cincinnati would. about April 1
demand 15 per cent increase in wages with an
elght-hour day, to take effect in June This
action is taken in conjunction with unions in
other cities. Some time ago a demand was
made by the Chicago union for 10 per cent
increase. Failure on the part of the officials
or the Western Union Telegraph Company of
that city to reply has caused the issuance of
can Tor a meeting Of the operators unions on
sunday TO discuss the situation. Similar action
is to be taken in Detroit. Denver. Louisville, Mil
Waukee. Minneapolis, Omaha, New York Boston.
Philadelphia and twenty smaller cities.
A general movement is foot among the

CAPTAIN HoBsoN's BUGABoo

While endorsing in general the
idea advanced by Captain Richmond
Pearson Hobson that a good fleet is
desirable for the United States in or
der to maintain peaee-at least until
civilization in other parts of the
world is further advanced than it is
now-this paper positively refuses to
be frightened by the lurid picture
which the hero of the Merrimac
paints of the yellow Peril.
According to Captain Hobson, Jap
an has us already whipped to a
standstill. He sees an inevitable
conflict between the white and yellow
races for the mastery of the Pacific,
unless the United States is able to
overawe the yellow men and make
them afraid to fight us. More than
that, he advances an able line of ar
gument to prove that Japan is rush
ing preparations for this conflict and
even now is well equipped for it,
while the United States is absolutely
helpless to protect even it's own Pa
cific coast, let alone Alaska and its
insular possessions. Further than
that Captain Hobson interprets the
British-Japanese alliance to mean that
Great Britain agrees to keep US busy
on the Atlantic SeabOard IN case OF
war between Japan and this country,
so as to necessitate the presence of
our one fleet in Atlantic waters, leav-
ing the Pacific entirely unprotect-
ed. The remedy for the difficulty,
says Captain Hobson, is the building
of two more fleets to supplement the
one which we now have. One of the
three, says Hobson, is needed to pro-
tect our Atlantic seaboard, another
should take care of the Monroe doc
trine in South America, while the
third is necessary to care for our
interests in the Pacific.
1t is an exceedingly interesting tale
OF diplomacy which Captain Hobson
discloses in connection with what. he
alleges, are Japan's attempts to bring
on a speedy war with this country. 1t
seems quite likely, however, that Mr..
Hobson is the victim of the dreaming
habit to a certain extent, and in this
particular cese his dreams have taken
the nightmare form. 1t is difficult to
think that Japan has us so badly
whipped as he would have US believe.
Still, Captain Hobson's views are en-
titled to consideration He has
studied the question deeply. He is a
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-07-20

student of naval affairs, and his state
ments regarding the difficulties of
moving fleets and the need OF naval
bases cannot be disputed. 1t would
not be seemly for mere land lobster
to question the opinion, in such mat
ters. of the man who did what Hobson
did In Santiago Earbor. But the rest
of us can guess about as well as he
concerning Japan's purposes.
Captain Hobson may be right, not
withstanding our disbelief If Japan
really has got us as badly licked as he
says. we will not kick in the least If
he comes back and says, q told you
So" but Japan will have to prove it
first.
He admits that the British public
might not let that government carry
out what he asserts is its agreement
with Japan to worry us on the east
in case Of war; If Great Britain should
try to carry out such an agreement,
this paper would not be in favor of
bothering with Japan and the Philip
pines for time, but would give Old
John Bull such trouncing that he
would never again play such a scurvy
trick on q friendly nation. However.
such a contingency appears extremely
remote.
On the general proposition that this
country needs a good navy-one that
will enable 1t to compete easily with
any nation on the globe-there should
be no dispute. Captain Hobson IS
right about 1t. 1t will be some time
before the nations of the world will be
sufficiently advanced in civilization that
they will all behave themselves unless
they know there is a strap hanging be-
hind the woodshed door for use on them
if they do not behave.
Let's have the strap.
