Secret Of Japan. Success.

Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton of the British
army wrote the evening after one of
the great battles which he had wit
messed between Russians and Japa-
nese in the recent war in Manchuria:
To bed! Although 1t is with re-
luctance that prepare to lose my grip
Of the exciting consciousness that /
have to-day seen the most stupendous
spectacle that it is possible for mortal
brain to conceive-Asia advancing.
Europe falling back; the wall of mist

meaning of this retreat of Europe be-
fore advancing Asia: The more
think the more certain / am that 1t
was not strategy or tactics. or arma-
ment or information, which won the
battle Of Liaoyang for Oyama, but that
It was rather the souls of the Japanese
troops which triumphed over the less
developed, less awakened. less stimu-
lated qualities Of the Russians"

A SERIES of misfortunes involving
IA dismissals. designations and
deaths in the great executive depart
ments in Washington often develops
what is known as the "hoodoo desk"
A desk comes under suspicion after a
dismissal or two from the service or
after several transfers or resigna-
tions, and If there should occur sever
al deaths among the occupants Of the
desk in the course of year or two
1t is designated as the hoodooed desk
and no one in that room cares to do
clerical work at 1t. In a room filed
with clerks, the hoodoo desk is easi-
ly recognized, for 1t is most generally
occupied with the surplus books and
general litter of the daily routine
work
The desk may remain unoccupied
sometimes for months, until some new
clerk comes into the room and is as
signed to it. provided there is no
other vacant desk in the room. Bu-
reau officials generally avoid assign
ing new clerk to the hoodoo desk,
If it can be done. In fact the desk
is apt to remain without an occupant

ART STRICTLY BARRED In
GOVERNMENT PRINTSHOP

IF there are those in the government
printing office who are vain, or
those who have been leaning toward
the artistic, they must confine their
admiration of what their mirrors por-
tray to the sacred confines of their
homes-or the corner bar. Also no
more will they be permitted to cover
up patches of somberness on the walls
Of the government printing office with
decorative pictures or calendars.
Even the pictures of President
Roosevelt are not exempt from the
attacks Of the art censor. although a
likeness of the executive stayed lone
somely ON the walls of the bindery for
three days while the censor consid-
cred the propriety of including 1t with

that recently the order was promul-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is infan-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely.clos-
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

WITH an Arkansas senator just
out of the penitentiary, where he
has served a sentence for some
breach of the law governing Unit
ed States senator's, and the mayor
of San Francisco now on trial on
charge of graft, with bankers
in prison or on trial for embezzling
the funds of tie people, and mil
'lionaire railroad magnates and
trust operators forced to go before
courts and expose their methods,
it begins to look as if graft and cor
ruption in high places can no long
er count upon immunity from
punishment. There are those who
Scomplain that the law Furnishing
crime is applied only to the poor
in this country, but these examples
go to prove that, if such has been
the case in the past, it is growing
less and less so under present con-
ditions. More than one rich graft
er is wearing a felon's stripes to-
day in this country, and public
opinion is growing so strong
against the corrupt practices of that
class of criminals that they are
likely to grow less in future. The
people are growing in intelligence
and are paying more attention
than formerly TO such matters, and
they will no longer endure that
rich criminals shall fatten and
thrive upon gains made at the ex
pense of the great producing class,
and yet go free.
