at Topeka, Kansas, in its:eleventh
annual session, Monday and Tues
day, August 18th and 18th, 1907.
All proprietors, editors, managers

with us in Topeka, Kansas, to con-
slider those questions SO vital to
the welfare of the race in this

Recent developments, such as
the Brownsville affair, Tillman's

of action on the part of the intelli-
gent and thoughtful members of
the race, and the Press must un-
doubtedly take the lead.
We would again urge upon every
paper and its entire staff to make
this meeting a personal matter, in
order to secure large and enthusi-
astic gathering.
The executive committee: Nick
Chiles, of Topeka, Kansas, Chair

America Japan Incident and Talk of War
Between the Countries

pupils in the lower grades of the
average tender age and that the
former were expelled-and the al
legged brutal and abusive treatment
of Japanese merchants and citizens.
The attitude of Japan upon both
of these questions, it is contended,
has been honorable, Straightforward
and in the main conciliatory.
They have based their protests and
demands upon the equities of trea-
ty rights. These doubtless carried
with them the equality of school
as we'll as other privileges which
pertain to each and all nations who
may be included in the most favor
ed nation class.
Without doubt the citizens of the
Pacific coast, residing at the gate
way for travellers from the Orient
are more seriously concerned than
residents of other sections of the
country. Their protest then is
but the natural will of humanity
when danger threatens its own.
T The school question were it
alone the cause of contention
might easily be regulated and ad-
justed by much the same method
as has been applied to the same
question between the two classes
of American born citizens, the
whites and the Negro-separate
schools with equal facilities.
The real serious and threatening
cloud, which rests its shadow ovel
the peace of the two counties, is
the American desire for a more
rigid treaty of exclusion against
the people of Japan. That is in.

one of the forward movements
which have made their progress

1t does seem a hardship to re-

When their pardonable pride il
the marvellous scope of theil
achievements is considered, il
would not be strange if they
would rather have recourse to the
arbitrament of the sword, than pay
the cost of wounded pride and ma
tional humiliation.
In very large degree the plum

Special to COLORADO STATESMAN.
This talk of war between the
United States and Japan is pecu-
harly regrettable for a number of
reasons.
Since the voyage of Commodore
Perry carrying assurances of good
will and kindly feeling to the
kingdom of the Rising Sun, which
resulted in the treaty of 1854, the
cordial relations of the two coun-
tries, resulting in mutual advan-
tage and helpfulness, have known
no shadow of wavering. Indeed
they have steadily increased
through sentiments of esteem to
such point as is seldom attained
between countries which have SO
little common either by acquired
or natural gift.
Should this war materialize it
would partake very much of the
nature of foster parent in deadly
feud with the orphan child he had
taken under his protection, while
the cause of disarmament and in
ternational peace would be serious
ly stunned and the efforts of the
Powers in this direction be render
ed abortive now and for many
years to come.
OF course it is possible and indeed
quite probable, that these under
takings on the part Of the nations
to accomplish the peace of the
World may never be realized
whether the war becomes reality
or not, yet it is certain that
through it the prospects for the
adoption at the Hague of a code
of international ethics, by which
all differences may be arbitrated,
will be sadly diminished.
Again it will be remembered
that it was through the good Off
GERS of America or rather to be
exact, of Mr. Roosevelt, that the
suggestion for peace was made
and effected, In the late affair be-
tween Russia and Japan.
Considering these peculiar con.
.ditions and the continuous rela.
tionship of'sponsor and preceptol
in all thatfis best of modern civil
zation, itywould seem that Ameri-
can prestige, builded SO carefully
by patriot and statesman of the
Washington and Webster type
would be dwarfed in large degree
if not ruthlessly sacrificed.
Jas to the ostensible cause fol

nations, the civilized world is ad

generally distributed among all
classes so that the effect is to pre-
sent to the world a people entire
ly homogeneous in all the essen
tials which produce a great strong
and powerful nation.
The commandments Thou
shalt honor the gods and love thy
country" "Thou shalt clearly un-
derstand the principles of Heaven
and the duty of man." "Thou
shalt revere the Emperor as thy
sovereign and obey the will of his
court" are articles of faith, under
stood and subscribed to by each
child of schoolage in the kingdom.
Unquestionable devotion to the
Emperor, love of ancestry and 10y
atty to country, are really the jap
anese trinity before which every
head is bowed in reverence and for
which each arm is bare in defense.
In whatever light the Govern
ment of Japan may regard the
contemplated mobilization of a
large fleet of American war vessels
in the Pacific at this time, there
can be no tangible ground for OBJ
lection, save in the one fact that it
might seem inopportune, in view
conditions which to say the least,
are not nearly so happy as one
could wish.
However no one can charge the
Japanese with rashness, neither
should there be fear of any action
except that suggested by careful
calm and deliberation.
Wonderfully skillful as they are
in the most delicate carving of
wood and ivory and famed for
their workmanship in silks and
metallic, substances, they are no
less deft in the use of languages
and it is most probable that these
much discussed problems are, in
deed, as an army officer has termed
them, nothing more than a temp
est in a teapot"
Doubtless Japanese wisdom is
now at work and an easy and
graceful adjustment may be
found through the channels of di-
plomacy.
Failing such a result, the theatre
of actual operations will be found
in the Philippines and the waters
thereabout. In the light of such
a development the action of the
President in ordering all the Ne
gro soldiers to those islands will
seem an act of inspiration. For
however much the country may in
suit and outrage, in times of peace
the uniform, when clothing the
persons OF Negro men: or seek to
legislate out of service this loyal
and gallant contingent of the army
their labors in field and trench,
their sufferings under tropic heat,
their very sacrifice of life itself,
will again as Oft before, be placed
upon the altar of their country
with the true spirit of patriots.
This the President knows
This the Nation feels. The ques,
ton of justice to the Negro soldier
and citizen is working slowly but
no less surely forward on the cal
endar of human progress and that
same DESTINY which shapes oul
