not IL II is left to the yellow journalists. at
all events. The yellow men hardly want
to fight again SO soon. and the yellow
writers probably never do.
1t is not at all probable that Japan
wants another war right away. She put
up plucky showing in tho last. but she
probably was mighty glad Of somebody
to help her let GO. She can hardly bo too
grateful to US for getting her out Of
tight place with honor. At the same
time we made her feel very ''eoeky" with
the laudations we piled on her; and there
is an easy possibility Of her sense Of
gratitude being smothered under the
bumptiousness we developed in her.
The Jap is a perfectly human little
euss. and develops the tyrant in his make
up just as quickly as anybody whom the
opportunity comes. He is doing It in
Korea now. Give him the chance and he
will do to tho Koreans Just what Russia
was doing to him-erowding him of the
earth. He did that same thing when no
had some authority in Korea once before.
One Of his meanest little tricks lately. II
the magazine stories arc all true. is tho
swiping OF that much venerated object
tho sacred psgoda Of Pung-duk. II Is
mean enough surely TO usurp = mans
country and crowd his children out to
make room for their own. but there is
nothing hurts like stealing mans rslig-
ious shrines and paraphrsnalia. You can
take most everything elsa that no has u
you will only leave his religion alone.
That's tho limit; and tho present trouble
between tho Koreans and tho Japs prob
ably turns chiefly on the stealing Of that
shrine Of Pung- -duk: though our inability
TO read tho editorials In our Korean sx-
changes leaves Us somewhat In the dark
