America a Land of Ideals.

DEALS are AS HIGH IN AMERICA AS ANYWHERE
ELSE in the world. You prize the things of the mind and
the soul as being the things which make the TRUE GREAT
NESS OF A NATION. You can the more safely do S
because your material prosperity is assured by the marvellous re-
sources at your command.
Happy is your lot compared with that of the states of Europe,
for you have no external enemy to fear. You need no vast fleets or
armies to protect you.
IN YOUR INDUSTRIES AND TRADE THERE WILL OF COURSE
BE UPS AND DOWNS, BUT YOUR SOIL AND YOUR MINERALS ARE
MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE AN EVER EXPANDING EN-.
PLoYMENT, WITH AN EVER INCREASING WEALTH.
The unique mission which Providence seems to have intrusted Ito
you is st show the world how immense natural resources may be used.
not in boastfulness or for luxury. but as a foundation on which to
build up THE HIGHEST FORM OF NATURAL. LIFE. TO
cultivate the delights which intellect and tastes open to U.s.. to set the
nobet example Of a people NOT ONLY PROSPEROUS AND
FREE. BUT ENLIGHTENED, HAPPY AND CONTENTED.

am told that the thinking, intelligent American people take pre-.
cisely the same view of the matter.
WHATEVER QUESTIONS HAVE ARISEN CAN EASILY BE SET.
NECESSARY IS TO FIND THE SPECIFIC THING WHICH PRODUCES
THE TROUBLE, EXAMINE IT CLOSELY, STUDY IT CAREFULLY AND
THOROUGHLY. AND A SOLUTION WILL EASILY BE FOUND.
There is an old saying in Japan, erich MEN DO NOT
QUARREL" This saying is applicable to the present situation. If
there be any Americans who re belgerently inclined toward Japan,
they should study the statistics Of the commerce between the countries
For the year ending Dec. 81, 1906, the exports of the United
States to Japan amounted to 69,94S,6sl yen and the exports Of
Japan to the United States 1885, 90, 4Os yen.
So far this year there has been a TREMENDOUS INCREASE
in the commerce of the two nations, and the aggregate promises to
exceed by a heavy margin the figures Of last year.
When these figures ire considered, it can be seen that war be-
tween the two nations a only be done at a sacrifice of this tremen-
dous trade.
THE COMMERCE OF THE TWO COUNTRIES SHOWS THAT
JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES ARE DEPENDENT MORE OR
LESS IN A BUSINESS WAY UPON EACH OTHER. ANY INTERRUPT.

TWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES WOULD BE A CALAMITY OF IT..
SELF REGARDLESS OF ALL THE OTHER HORRORS or WAR.
l hope that the newspapers will cease printing anything at all on
the subject of war. If one gets in the HABIT Of even talking war
in a most general way, it brings about a condition Of the public mind
that is undesirable.
Any ordinary insignificant happening becomes distorted and as
sumes an IMPORTANCE ALTOGETHER BEYOND IT'S REAL
MEANING, and in the hands of sensationaHsts is easily made the
bone Of a new contention.

refused TO let Pettibone out on bond.

therefore be useless waste OF time and

that commented on the case during the
proceedings. The papers throughout
the state and elsewhere seemed disposed
to leave the matter to the courts and /
