Has Japan 81 Ulterlor aIotlve2

Has Japan an UlterioF lIotive2
That the case of Japan and the Unit
ID States in the Pacific has not been
well understood In Europe and on the
Atlantic coast of this country Is the
opinion Of Editor De Young of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Recently Mr.. De
Young spoke as follows to a reporter
who interviewed him in Paris:
The idea Of dispatching the feet to the
Pacific shows long headedness by the
government. Considering the way Japan
sprang upon Russia when Russia was un-
prepared and while negotiations were In
progress, It Is the duty of the United
States government to send the feet to the
Pacific In advance OF any serious friction.
There appears to be something behind
the present Japanese attitude. II they
have any Interior motive in view they can
spring upon US, seize the Philippines and
Hawaiian Islands and fortify them so II
will be almost impossible to recover them.
1t will take months for the fleet to get
to the Pacific 1t is well known in Cali
fornia that thousands Of Japanese sol
diers, men and officers Of the late war,
are now in Hawaii Working on sugar
plantations are some 10000 or 15,000-a nu-
cleus large enough, in fact. to take the
islands were a Japanese fleet TO furnish
them with arms.
I say the Japanese are seeking q cause
to be irritated. They are planning an ex-
cuse for future action, for otherwise the
causes for their protests are too small.
The school matter and the trouble in
the Japanese restaurant were too triv-
lal, Mr.. De Young thinks, to lay the
people Of California open to the charge
Of race prejudice. The restaurant af-
fair, he said, has been unduly magni-
fed, and 1t might have occurred under
like circumstances in an italian or a
German restaurant In any city Of the
land. The local view of the school
question he sets forth in these terms:
Critics seem to forget we lost twenty
six schoolhouses in the great fire. Tenn
porarily we tried to house the school chill
dren as best we could in wooden struc-
| lures. In order not to discriminate we
| Immediately erected in Chinatown. where
| most of the Chinese and Japanese live, q
| school for Mongolians. There was no feel
| Ing against Japanese Their children at
| tending school are only ninety-three in
number. They are clean, nice, cute chill
| dren, to whom no one could object Our
kindness was met by the statement that
Japanese were not Mongolians. Their OBJ
| lection to going with Chinese was the
| only exhibition Of race prejudice notice
able. This isolation was simply a tenn.
| porary expediency.
The charge that the people Of San
Francisco are imbued with race preju
dice Mr.. De Young resented with much
spirit. He said that his home city is as
cosmopolitan as Paris and all races art
represented in its population. More
over, they are at peace with one an
other.

AInsl,a,a Hidden Wealth.

When Secretary Seward purchased
Alaska for the United States it was
valued by the Russians who had ex-
plotted 1t solely on account Of It's furs
and fisheries. That was forty years
ago, and we have made great strides
in developing other sources of wealth.
1t is probably rich in nearly all the
commercial minerals.
For many years the United States
government has been investigating the
mineral fields Of Alaska and also the
water supplies available for mining
operations. This season there are elev-
en- scientific parties in the territory
prosecuting geologic and topographic
surveys, 1t is believed that coal will
be found In sufficient quantities to
make railroading and the reduction of
mineral ores profitable. The popula-
ton of Alaska is becoming permanent,
and it Is predicted that there Is a soil
there capable of agricultural develop
ment which will feed all the toilers
who may be attracted to the territory.

Not Made In America.

Commenting upon the proposed world
sheater trust, controlled by Americans,
and following methods that have run
the stage in New York, Chicago and
other great centers. much to the scan
dial Of the drama, the New York World
alleges two reasons why the project
won't go down in foreign art capitals.
First It rings In the old BarnumIsm
that the American people like to be
humbugged, whereas the play going
public In continental cities Is of a diff
ferent order and takes the drama serl-
ously. Furthermore, the Parlsians,
viennese and Berllners know what
acting II and "what play should be"
II the theater trust should be pow
erful enough to force the ideas Of
Broadway upon the foreigners 1t Is
hard to see where there Is ground for
complaint. The whole tone Of the show
business on the stage in this country
has been imported from foreign marts,
and II Is no palllation to say that only
the purlieus OF Paris, Vienna and Ber-
I'm have been raked. American agents
lie in wait in Europe to seize upon the
latest stage novelty for the American
boards, and the standards Of taste here
IN so far as they fall below traditions
which date from Mollere" do not rep
resent American culture. The patron
age of the latest novelties from Paris
In Broadway halls comes chiefly from
those who have seen the originals or
something of the same sort abroad.
Were II not for foreign educated
taste there would be no support here
for foreign plays of the type which has
driven the classic drama from the
boards. The theatrical syndicate will
have invented something new II II
gives Europe anything different from
what Il borrowed there originally.

Law should Be Above Suspicion.

Law Should BE Above Suspicion.
The courts are the last resort for peo.
pie who think that their rights are be-
ing denied them. Allowing for differ
ences of opinion and clashing interpre-
tations Of the statutes, dlsputants pa
tiently carry their cases from one court
to another, believing implicitly that
justice will be done at last. But 1t is
great misfortune when a large part
of the public come to the conclusion
that rulings In the higher courts are
one sided. 1t has been so charged in
more than one Of the recent issues be-
tween the corporations and the people.
Not only the citizens of North Carolina,
but those OF other states where the
railway fare disputes have come up,
are Interested in the question as to
ii hat branch Of the government shall
have the final word upon fair and
reasonable" rates. The reviewers of
the law are not superior to the max
srs Of the law; hence 1t is not essen.
tally Judgment. but expert opinion,
which tliey are empowered to render.
The right and wrong Of this matter
VIII be difficult to adjust, especially
since 1t has been pointed out that the
federal government Is bound to inter
fere In cases where the states fail to
protect the public interest. 1t has been
said that the surest way to have a bad
law abolished is to enforce 1t rigorous
ly and show up its imperfections-
that Is to say, the people will smash a
bad law when they see 1t. Wisdom
and justice, then, must prevail at the
bottom of our institutions, and they
should prevail at the top. Higher
courts should be above suspicion, and
they will escape criticism. 1t is part
of the duty of being right to avoid
! even the appearance Of wrong.

There seems to be quite an interest
developing over the city bonding
question. That is proper, and when
the people wake up to the Importance
of question before them they
usually settle It right. There should
be full vote cast on the bonding
matter and the friends Of the measure
must get move on II they win the
contest. We believe the proposition
Is a good one and that the Issue

j. 9. Munson IL quoted as stating
that there will be no special session Of
the Legislature TO appropriate funds
for the prosecution Of Mover and Pet
tibone. As Munson Is close to Gov
renor Goodln9 he probably knows
what he is talking about. After
spending $4,000 for the Haywood
trial without conviction the people
are not very anxious to- have Cover
nor Cooling squander another like
amount unless he has a better case
than he developed against Haywood.

Those who are familiar with the
composition OF the smokeless powder
used by the American navy know that
It Is less likely to deteriorate than the
powder adopted by several foreign gov
ernments. The former consists mainly
Of gun cotton and the latter OF nitro
glycerln, Compounds of the one show
little disposition to undergo change.
Compounds of the other are VIGOROUSLY
unstable. The suggestion that the ac-
cident on the Georgia was caused by
spontaneous combustion in the ammu-
milton was therefore beyond belief,

The opinion Of Portland's city at
torney is that the building ordinance
against trusts and combinations Is
class legislation and therefore In
valid, because it exempts labor
unions from its provisions. The ar
gument seems to be sound, because
there is no difference between labor
trust and capitalistic trust The
qualification for the labor trust is
that 1t is necessary If labor Is to sue
oessfulIy combat the other trust. But

alike
