The Housekeeper for February prints a very inter
esting story by Anne Warner, entitled 1.-The Steinhard
Pride In the beginning of the story, the author sug
gests the handing down of the intense pride of family
from the middle ages, but the time of the actual plot is
the present day and tells the honorable disillusion of
the pride in a very charming way. 1t is a story Of
strength and tenderness. There are several other at
tractive stories by writer's OF note. There are also the
usual helpful departments, fashion hints and sugges-
tions for the home.
The following requiem, ''To the Old Mileage
Book, has been "tearfully dedicated" to the general

attention it deserves.

Popular Play is Presented to Good
Audience.

The first presentation before an
Americas audience -four New Minis
ter Denman Thompson's great play,
attracted an appreciative assemblage
to the opera house last night and the
play, excellently put on with all its
accessories, delighted all who witness
ed it. The play is purity itself No
woman is wronged in it, none has to
be vindicated. There is nothing NOR
bid or piteous in it. 1t is just clean,
lovable story of rustic village life.
The entire play was excellently staged
and the actors were all good enough in
their respective parts to make the play
as enjoyable as it is wholesome. 1t
promises to be acted many years to
come, for it is full of human nature and
e-dispelling fun.

SPLITTING UPON AMERlCUS STREETS
Ordinance Should Be Very RigidIy
Enforced.

Americas has an ordinance against
the disgusting habit of splitting upon
the pavements, and its enaction year
or two ago has deferred the spitters to
considerable extent. Just now there
is a hue and cry over the State against
splitting in public places, and Columbus
and Augusta have enacted rigid laws
upon the subject. Montgomery has
purchased 500 portable spittoons for
her consumptive spitters, who will be
required to carry them around. The
Americas authorities might touch up
and dust off our old ordinance just

CONCLUSIONS FROM VANCOUVER RIOTS.

There are some interesting things about the anti-Japanese rioting in Vancouver, British Columbia, which seem anomalous. When two Japan csc restaurants in San Francisco were slightly damaged as an incident to a labor disturbance on the street that country became inflated with anger and jingoism ran rampant over Ja- pan. Now ten thousand Britishers at Vancouver make an organized assault on Japanese and keep them in state of siege and there is not the faintest tremor of excitement in the island empire. Why is this? Does it not show what nation the Jananese hate what nation is their ultimate foe? Does it not show further that Japan has singled out this country as the natural object of her enmity? If Ja- pan had a chip on her shoulder, ir- respective of whct nation knocked it of, would not she suddenly become in famed and warlike as the result of the Vancouver rioting-an incident a thousand times more grave than the peit street brawl in San Francisco? This seems reasonable. Suppose such a demonstration would have occurred against the Japanese in San Francis co. Would not the Japs regard it as a casus belli and anticipate the sail ing of our battleship fleet by seizing the Philippines? The nation will feel easier-snd well she may-when Bob Evans and his powerful feet round the Horn and proceed northward in the waters of the Pacific.
 It is not impossible that Japan will resent the coming of this fleet into waters that she now dominates, con struing it as a menace to her. If Ja- pan Is looking for trouble that will be her attitude and the sooner she open ly admits such feeling the better of this country will be. We will then know beyond all doubt the task that lies before us In the meantime. ir- respective of what Japan may think, a vast section of the United States lies on the shores of the Pacific and our principal insular possessions are in the Pacific. Our right then, to send any sort of d fleet we care to visit that domain of ours is perfect and in contestable. If Japan objects let her come directly into Nogales and not, do so. She must know sooner G later.
 And the eastern part of the United States should no: object to our great fleet leaving 1t for the time unpro- tected. The Pacific is just now our danger point and nothing is to be feared la the east from the Japanese. So accustomed are eur big eastern cities to seeing great battlesh,ps and feeling their security that they forget

There is no sort of difficulty in agreeing with republican authorities who discredit stories of radical legis- lation in the coming sesion of con gress and declare that the republican majority will be unusually moderate and discreet in what it does. With the presidential election only eleven months in the future, when congress meets the strange innovations which the president has urged will be laid on the shelf until after the election. Mir Roosevelt may say what he pleases in his message. but congress may be expected to follow the lead of Secretary Taft and postpone every thing that might widen the breach al. ready existing between the party's voters and the monopolies which con trol it.
