WHEN REACTION COMES.

In the course of timely and con-
 se!vative article in the August At .art4c Monthly, Mir. Ray Mo.r;; dis cusses the rabid anti-railroad legisla- tion recently enacted in number of states of the Union, says the Kansas City Jorunal. That the railroads are being made the scapegoats for the sins of certain high financiers is the opin- ion of many who have watched the progress of events. But Mr.: Morris does not elaborate on this phase of
 he matter. He does, however, call attention to a very practical aspect ofthe case which deserves careful consideration. He is not at all pessim- istic and declares that American ge- nius for business will triumph over the socialistic persecution of cor porate interests, largely directed against the railroads; if this persecu-

MINERS FINED
 FOR STRIKING

Linton, Ind, Aug, 1O.-Three dollars was deducted from the pay check today of each of the 300 min- CTS of the Summit Coal company. making a total fine of $S for each man who took part in a recent strike contrary to the provision in the contract with the state miners as- sociation. The strike lasted 8 days and each miner was assessed s1 day, or total of $2,4O0, which goes into the coffers of the coal company. This is the first time the contract was ever infrced against striking miners.
 The Summit mine was closed when the men demanded the dis charge of the mine boss and the company refused to comply, all the miners walking out. The agree ment between the miners and the operators provides for a forfitura in the way of fine for the parties who stop the mine in case of labor trouble without first submitting the grievance to the regular board of arbitration. The miners failed to observe this part of the agreement and the coal company insisted m +ho $1 a day penalty, deducting it from the pay checks.

JAPAN,S REAL AMBITION.

If the lesson of the fate of ko- req can be so regarded by China, it may have warned that govern ment to put it's house in order. 7 This statement made by Viscount Hayashi, Japanese minister of for eign affairs, is of the utmost signifi- canoe, as it is an official notification to the whole world that the policy of a consolidated yellow empire unde: the domination of Japan is the am bition of the mighty men of the mika- dos government. Korea appeals fruitlessly for aid to the United States, notwithstanding treaty ex- isted between the two governments that virtually provided for protection against the fate in store for the Hermit Kingdom. We did not see fit to offend Japan at critical
 moment, and our treaty went for naught. The exigencies of interna- tional politics nowadays take small account of the weaker governments.
 With the scarcely yelled ambition of Japan to consolidate the yellow races into a mighty coalition voiced by it's minister of foreign affairs, the rest of the world will understand what the Japanese meant all along when they insisted that Japan had something more to do in the Orient and had no thought of fighting the United States. The logic of the
 whole situation points to the truth of Viscount Hayashi's announcement
 It is much more reasonable to prev sume that Japan wishes to increas its empire in the Orient than to

l reach across the sea and engage ill doubtful controversy with a foe oi matchless resources.
 What would domination of China mean to the Japanese? First of all, it would mean that the mikado would hold sway over nearly five hundre! million human beings. It would mean that from the land of the Chinese there would flow a stream of tribute into Tokio richer than the tribute pa1l by sny other country on earth. ], would mean that Japan could bEl u.. an armJ establishment of a:m''St limitless strength and that it's position as a world power would be not only frst-class, but almost impregnable by reason of it's isolation, it's great ports and absolute command of the seas.
 Undoubtedly China will not submit to this programme of spoilation with out a struggle and such a war would not result in as easy conquest as the last disastrous attempt of China to de- fend herself against Japan. For ten years China has been recruiting and drilling a great army, and so far as this part of her internal affairs is coa- cerned her house is already in order With Russia smarvln" under the hu- initiation of defeat, Korea resentful of the robbery that has been practiced upon her nd aa ripped as never before for war. the outlook for Japan absorption of the Oriental empire 's stormy. to say the .tasi
