grant licenses to Japanese intelli-
urncc agencies. and their action
shows that they are indeed adopts in
taking advantage Of every circlnn-
stance and all conditions that civ,
any promise Of accomplishment OF
their ends. The plan now is to
address Il letter to each Chaint"r OF
Commerce throughout this country
tand of (UnSe 10 his StrcnuoSity, who

ting forth their persistent and con
tinual alleged persecution by small
portion of our people and appealing
for redress of these wrongs to the
whole great nation. They urge that
unless these "outrages" are speedily
stopped that it may have an "un-
happy effect upon the maintenance
and development of commercial rela-
tons between the two countries.
and to emphasize the matter. allcgo
that Japan is increasing her demand
for American goods and that country
promises to become one of the most
important markets for your our
everexpanding and prosperous indus
tries" Making all due allowance for
the fervid and obSeguiOus nature OF
the Associated Press manipulatOrS,
this way of arraying the larger por-
ton of great commonwealth against
another and infinitely smaller part,
would doubtless even in the original
Nippon dialect impress one with the
idea that the cunning little JapS arc
intuitivcly orborn diplomats.
But it is just that much more hui
initiating that we see our free people
carried away SO completely by the
trend of the hour, as to apply to this
heather nation all the moral attri.
butes of a civilized people. 1t must
not be forgotten that this is truly
an instance in which Familiarity
breeds contempt" and very small
proportion of our people have had an
opportunity for study of either the
Chinese or Japanese character, from
actual observation or experience.
They form the same exalted opinion
of them as with which the readers OF
Fenimore Cooper endow the noble
red-man, who have never had an OPP
portunity to get near to Nature in
it's lower forms.
1t is not at all unlikely that Cham
bers of Commerce will be slow to en-
dOrse the cunning movement, espe-
cially when it is well known that il
will receive the sanction Of the man
who favors opening the door to the
widest extent by admitting the foxy,
false-hearted and filthy little Jap to
all the privileges Of citizenship, sure
precursor to the political rights which
are the pride and boast of our people.
This scheme, if it does not have the
effect of crushing the manhood out OF
the people of our sister State, and
ultimately of the whole Pacific Coast,
will surely engender strife, and may
lead to acts which will serve to JUS
tify the Interior methods and objects
underlying this whole course of OBJ
stinacy and impertinence on the
part of our swell-headed neighbOrs.
1t is evident to the most sluggish in
tellect, that Japan really wants war
with our nation, if an excuse may be
found that will justify it in the opin-
ion of other nations.

1t is impossible for the taxpayers and
citizens to be present in a body at the
court sessions and while judicial pro-

the County Auditors annual reports,
it may be seen that court expenses
constitute the heaviest charge against
the current expense fund. 1t should
always be borne in mind that, in all
cases, the fees and mileage of Jurors
are paid by the county.
There are men paying heavy taxes
on their holdings, who, when they
are occasionally drawn upon juries,
regard it as rare privilege to re-
ceive three dollars a day and mileage,
but are unmindful of the fact that
they have to help pay the costs Of
jury terms when their services are
not called into requisition.
1t is said that in Chehalis county
Judge Irwin, on account of such
heavy charges against the taxpayers,
frequently holds court during jury
terms, from A. NJ. to 6 p. NJ, in or

sive luxury soon as possible.

ALMOST A MATRIMONIAL MIX-Up.
The danger of placing reliance
upon matrimonial agencies was shown
in the case of Erastus Singer, of Iver-
ton, Wyo., who a few days ago came
near marrying his own daughter,
through the misleading qualifications
sent out with the commodities dealt
in. Singer misrepresented his age
and posed as bachelor. Mrs. Farm
err protested to be widow, bereft in
early life and lonely. An agreement
was speedily made for marriage in
Montana, but when Singer appeared,
ne discovered that the bride to be
was his own daughter. adopted while
a child, on death of her mother, by a
family named Cooper.

LACKING IN MOST IMPORTANT Es-
sENTIAL.-A few hours visit at any
time in the ThurstOn county Superior
Courtroom when court is in session,
impresses the thought of what an in
excusable blunder the architects
Saunders & LawtOn-made, in not
placing the hall in which SO much
forensic ability must be displayed
and such important testimony is at
times given, should not have been
placed on the north side of the build
ing, where comparative quiet could
have been secured. Now when the
trOlly car passes with it's rumble and
bell-ringing, the autos fit by with
their varied methods of footing their
presence, and the hustle and confu-
sion of trade is loudest, it not infre-
quently happens that business has to
be practically suspended, temporar-
lily at least, to allow the lawyers
to make those more delicate points
which so nearly affect their clients
interests. If there. ever was a botch
for which designers should be held
responsible it is in the planning of
this building. One of the first duties
OF architects in the construction OF
that class of buildings is to provide
for adequate acoustic properties in
side as well as to guard from inter-
ference of noises from without. Now
that the defect is so apparent, it is
difficult to comprehend how those
supposed to presses the knowledge of
experts in such matters could have
made such an egregious error.

DR.. James A. Draper, Jr., of No.
1O15 Washington street, Wilmington,
son of DIR. James A. Draper, the we'll
known physician who died suddenly
some days ago, has been appointed
surgeon for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to succeed his father. The
appointment is a very important Office
for DIR. Draper and it is tribute to
the ability of one of Wilmington's
youngest, but at the same time best
known and highly efficient physicians.
Conductor William H. Hearn, who
has been in the employ of the P. B &

aware Division run, which was held by
Conductor Frank Settlers until his
death few weeks ago. Twenty.one

and he has been promoted from brake

held the latter position for eleven wears.

Wherever new signals are being in
stalled on the Pennsylvania railroad a
new system of color is being used. I'm.
der 1t the white light is no longer used
as a cautionary signal, but yellow is
substituted in Its place, because the
officials say, frequently the glass IN
the signal lamp is broken and a white
light is shown. The red light will still
be used as a danger signal and the
green as a safety signal. An import
ant change in the day time is that the
appraised semaphore arm denotes clear
track instead of the dropped arm as
heretofore. The railroad men of this
city are busily engaged in acquainting
themselves with these new conditions.
In response to the call for citizens
meeting last Friday evening, quite a

Death of Admiral Smith.

Rear Admiral Joseph Adams Smith, U.
S. n, retired, whose death has just been re-
ported, was son OF the late George S.
Smith of Ellsworth. When a young man,
Smith became clerk in the store of A. B.
Black & Co. Young Smith did not take
kindly TO a business life, and in the late sos
secured clerkship in Washington. He
entered the navy at the outbreak of the Civ
il War, and became paymaster. He was on
board the Kearsarge in the historic fight
with the Alabama, off the coast of France.
He rapidly rose in rank. and became pay
master -generalof the navy. He was placed
on the retired list few years ago. Admir-
al Smith made frequent visits to Ellsworth,
having a strong affection for the home OF
his boyhood.
His younger days were spent in Machias,
in house on the Marshfeld road little
out of the town. Among his boyish pos
Sc essions was full set of the Rollo books S
which the writer used to borrow and peruse
at more or less frequent intervals.
