There is a great deal in interna-
tional diplomacy which the average
layman does not understand. For
example, the average citizen cannot
understand why, in view OF the unset
tied condition of affairs between this
country and Japan on account Of diff
ferences as TO the enactment and en-
forcement of japanese exclusionlaws.
this country should not, in spite OF
any protest from Japan, assemble p
large feet OF war vessels on our Pa
citic coast. What is our navy for, il
it cannot be assembled at a point
where trouble is most likely tooccur?
The prime object in having a strong
and efficient navy is TO insure peace.
and in order to insure peace with
Japan, maniiestly the place for the
strongest of our fighting vessels at
present is in the Pacific ocean. To
keep practically our entire naval
force in the Atlantic ocean. where it
would be practically useless in case
OF emergency, would be the limit OF
folly, from the practical viewpoint.
What the people of this country want
is peace with Japan, and obviously
the way to maintain it is by trans
ferring to and keeping in the Pacific
ocean rs long rs is necessary such a
naval force that its very presence
will insure peace. If the so-called
rules of diplomacy are To beiniringed
by such IA move, the stakes at issue
are large enough to justify the in
fringement.

RAILROADS VS.. THE STATE.

The railroad companies of Vir-
ginia, with their array of railroad
lawyers behind them. have won first
blood in the rate cases now before
Judge Pritchard and have placed
this State in the position where she
must expend large sums OF money in
defense of the ruling of the Corpora
on Commission OF abandon the at
tempt to give her people the benefit
OF two-cent rate. The decision will
cause Indignation all over this Com
monwealth, not against the court, be-
use Judge Pritchard doubtless
a ted in good faith. but against
these railroad corporations. which,
refusing to give the new law a fair
trial, have gone into the courts in an
attempt to resist the finding OF the
commission. That finding was only
announced after almost a year OF
careful and painstaking investiga-
ton, and we predict that the rail-
road victory just attained will be the
dearest ever won by corporations in
this State. II the present plan fails
another will be found more success
fnl and in the end these companies
will in all proba bility beforcei toap-
ply the lower rate and willat the same
time have earned the enmity of the
people of the State for their attitude
of defiance to what the entire State
believes to be a Just regulation OF rail
road rates. The railroad companies
will, as we said above, pay dearly for
their victory, and the temper of the
next Legislature towards them VIII
not, we suspect, be improved by this
decision. Every encouragement has
been offered the railroads in the past
and will be in the future, when they
show a disposition to do the square
thing by the people OF Virginia.

WORD SHELVES IN BRAIN.
Indications Prove Words Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.

Indications Prove Words Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.
Disorders OF speech. due to physical
damage in the brain. show that words
are there arranged somewhat like books
on library shelves. When a man,
therefore, learns a new language he
has to provide new shelf for It's
words. This is proved by the case,
among many others like 1t, of a man
who, besides his mother English, learn
ed French, Latin and Greek. He be-
came word-blind in English but still
could read French, though with some
mistakes. and Latin with fewer mis-
takes than French. while Greek he
could read notwithstanding that his
English shelf was ruined, his French
shelf damaged. his Latin shelf less so,
while his Greek row escaped entirely.
Other Instances show that the books
may be so jammed sidewise, so 10
sneak. that not one Of them can be
got out, in which case the event proves
that on each shelf the verbs are placed
first. the pronouns next, then the pre-
positions and adverbs and the nouns
last. A man was brought TO my clinic
who could not utter a word. My dag
nosis ascribed his disability to tumor-
like swelling in the speech area, which
might he absorbed by giving him iod!de
of potassium. 1 then had am remov-
ed so that he could not hear what was
said, while | told the class that IL he
recovered Ire would very likely get his
verbs first. and his nouns last. When
he returned two weeks afcerward, on
my showing Pin knife he said: You
cut" a pencil. "Yoa write" etc. Three
weeks later he had all his preposi-
lions. but he could name no noun for
several weeks afterward. The reasons
are that verbs are our innermost and
first learned words. because we know
that we see. we hear, etc. before we
know what il is that we see or hear I;
while what il Is that we see or while
nouns represent things outside of us.
10 which we later give names. The
norlns that we learn last and there
fore forget soonest are the names of
persons: that is why elderly people are
ever complaining that they cannot re-
call names.-Everyhody's Magazine.

another similar suit by the payment of
$125,000 and the publication of an apol-
ogy. This latter suit was brought by Jos

Not less than 5000 troops have been
summoned to tie vicinity of Belfast, Ire

arising from the strike of the dock labor

The calling of troops was due partly to
the Fact that the police had struck to
enforce their demand for more pay be-
cause of the extra work. The strikers
were attacking non-union laborers at ev-
cry opportunity. One feature of the
trouble is the closing of a number of
spinning mills through inability to obtain
coal.
