A JAPANNED Proposition. And
now the Viscount Aoki, the Japan
csc ambassador, makes a startling
proposition to end all strife between
his country and this. 1t is quite as
sensible as Mr.. Roosevelt's PROPOSE
ton of naturalization of the pesky
plague. 1t is to absorb them by
marriage, to amalgamate the two
peoples, to accomplish by miscegna-
ton what cannot be accomplished by
tumult and strife. The proposition
is indeed not without some points in
its favor, as for instance in the west
ern wilds, where Jap wife will be
infinitely better than no wife, but as
to an even exchange, or any ex-
change at all, in this commodity,
everybody, to a man, would object.
There has already been two or three
such misalliances and it makes the
blood of every true man run cold to
contemplate such prostitution of
womanhood. Aoki's proposition is
20. X" so far as our lonely bachelors
in the confines of civilization are con-
cerned, but no farther - provided
they agree, which is not at all Ger.

Opinion Based Upon Observation.

Andrew Beattie Ph. D.. Presby-
terrain missionary from Canton, Chi
ma, lately in attendance at the Chris
tan Endeavor Convention at Seattle,
declared, without qualification, that
the Chinese race is superior to the
Japanese, morally, intellectually and
physically. He held that the latter
is a race Of imitatOrs while the form
er is original He declared the ia
panese are trcacherOus and dishonest,
to degree. while their neighbors of
the Flowery Kingdom are noted for
their frankness and strict business
integrity. The Japanese are small
of stature and pigmies us compared
with the Chinese who reach our
shores, who are mainly coolies. and
indeed not fit example for Judging
the race.
China, he said, is greater Us a
wOrld-pOwer than we know, and some
day she will rise up and assert her
self. With an army of 300, 900 SOL
diers, trained by Japanese and Ger
man military men, with population
OF 400, 900, 900, with a country of
boundless resources behind; with
enough coal in one province alone,
that of Shan Tung, to supply the
world for 1000 years, it is hard to
estimate her power; and unless her
treatment at the hands of America
and European nations is greatly inn
proved in the future war will be in
evitable.
China hates Japan, but she does
not want war with her yet. She
wants peace, and she will tolerate
Japan just SO long as she can get ed
ucation and bel Up from her. In the
event of trouble between China and
other world powers the two countries
might be allied, but the tail cannot
wag the dog, and Japan never can
dominate. China will one day rise
up and assert her right | do not
mean that she will invade foreign
territory, but she has been looked
down upon and treated rs q child by
other powers just about as long as
she will tolerate it.
Time forbade the doctor from dis
cussing the Yellow Peril in this
country, but he did say in effect that
without stringent immigration laws
the Chinese and Japanese labOring
classes in q short time will actually
gain control of the Pacific Coast, and
the present exclusion laws, he be-
lieves, should be rigidly enforced if
peace between this country and the
Orient is to long continue.

Tacoma's Turn Now.

The ingratitude of childhood is IL
Illustrated hy the fight Tacoma is max

privileges. the terms used to signify
a distinction with a difference. A
suit has been commenced in the SUI
prrior Court of Pierce county by the
Chamber Of Commerce. and citizens
in their individual capacity, to com
pei the Northern Pacific Railway to
afford the terminus the terminal
privilege of direct passenger service
with the East.
The hearing is being conducted by
Judges Clifford and Reid, and tcsti-
mony has been taken of Il number OF
witnesses by Attorney Warburton
for the city, and of railroad officials
for the road by Attorney Grosscup.
1t is held by the former that the orig
inal land grant from the government
stipulated that the railroad company
should have one terminus on Puget
Sound, to be reached over the COM
pany's main line. 1t is the claim of
the party instituting the suit, that
Seattle has been made Il terminal,
and that while Tacoma is still con-
Sidercd the terminus, and is SO called
in the terms of the companyS char
ter, it is not made the true terminal
of business. 1t is likewise claimed
that Seattle is accorded better time
by the schedule, and that better and
quicker service is given than from
the real terminus. This difference in
time, it is claimed, amounts to about
three hours. To remedy, this suit
has been instituted.
The company showed the amount
of traffic originating in the two cities
handled by the railroad, in justifica-
ton, and that the difference in time
has resulted simply by cutoff from
Palmer junction to Auburn, and
thence to Seattle. 1t is claimed that
better grades and a shorter route
were obtained by this change.
1t seems that Tacoma is receiving
a little of the kind of treatment that
Olympia was accorded in 1871, when
the terminus was located here, with
all the formality of an honest and
sincere act. The duplicity of the
Lake Superior and Puget Sound Land
ring was then brought to play, to
override and annul the location made
by the authorized agents of the rail.
road company, and after six months
of exploitation, the latter Organiza-
ton was made to move on to Tacoma
and drive the stakes of what was
promised to be the terminal city on
Puget Sound. If there is any balm
in sympathy, our neighbors certainly
have an easement of present tribula-
| tiOnS.

JAPs BANIsHED FROM PHILIPPINE

ing experts who have been in the

Community Property.

The Supreme Court of this State
recently made an important ruling
in regard to the statutes of Wash
ington bearing on the community
property law. The case was en-
titled Brockman ct al, executors of
Eugene Durkee, deceased, appellants,
against Eugene w. Durkee and Will
liam M. Durkee, respondents. The
case was determined on appeal from
the judgment of the Superior Court
of Pierce county, in favor of the
respondents, wherein the judgment
of the lower court was reversed. APP
pellants claimed title to the real
estate in controversy, which is Sit
uated in Pierce county, as devisees
under the will of the deceased; re-
spondents claimed this property as
heirs at law of Cynthia Durkee, de-
ceased. Eugene Durkee married his
wife in New York, in 1949; they
lived together till 1889, when the
wife died in that State intestate
without WILLY During the exist
ence of the marriage relation, the
husband conducted a profitable bust
ness in New York. In 1888, prior
to the wife's death, the husband in
vested a part of the proceeds of his
business in the above real estate.
The husband died in 1902 in New
York. Neither husband nor wife
had ever resided in Washington.
The appellate court ruled that as the
money which the husband invested
in that real estate was his private
property, under the laws of New
York, its status and character re-
manned the same with respect to his
Washington holdings, therefore SUBJ
ject to disposition under his will, the
wife having no interest therein at
the time of her decease.
The court in its opinion conceded
that the provisions of the Washing.
ton statute are sufficiently broad to
countenance the claim of respondents,
but under the laws of New York this
statute cannot be legitimately con.
strued to have affected the husband
vested rights under the laws of an.
other jurisdiction.

BILL OF UNDERTAKEN WHO BURIED
PRESIDENT GARFIELD STILL UNPAID.

1t is an interesting though not
very laudable fact, that the under
taking item of the funeral expenses
of President Garfield have never been
paid. Congress appropriated an
ample amount to defray all costs, and
provided for a commission to audit,
adjust and pay all claims, but, as
usual with the government, re-
ceipted bill was required for q vouch-
err. The idea of sending a receipted
bill to any one before he had received
payment, did not strike Mr.. Speare,
the undertaken, owner OF the claim,
as q correct business transaction,
consequently he failed to comply
with the rule and the bill has never
been paid This revelation was made
when the accounts of the late under
taker were in the course of admins
tration, and the outstanding claim of
26 years was found among the as
sets of the estate.

A PLAN FOR CONCENTRATING Con-
vENTION FIRE.-It seems that if MIR.
Roosevelt is really sincere in the dec
laratiOn that he does not desire a
third term, there is not the slightest
doubt but that he wants and expects
to control the convention choice as
to who shall be his successor, if the
Republicans are able to carry the
next election. The plan, which it is
claimed has been submitted to him
and received his approval, is to have
delegations pledged to himself, in ex-
IRENE cases, wherein it is impossible
to hold delegation otherwise in
structed. 1t is thought that this
will concentrate sentiment in q form

form to administration wishes, when
otherwise it might be directed to a

State Again Wins.

Let US hope that the unreasonable
contention of the Edmund Sylvester
heirs, now that the higher court has
decided against their claim to the
the capitol site in this city, will cease.
and the matter be allowed to rest, so
that contemplated improvements con-
nected with the public service of the
State may 90 ON without the menace
of further litigation.
The Supreme Court filed for record
last Monday it's decision that the
widow and daughter of Edmund Syl-
vester. the owner of the original
townsite of Olympia have no right in
the land decided in consideration of
the location of the capitol therein:
that it was absolute, and without any
reverSiOnary interest. Mrs. Sylves-
ter S claim to it has been based on
parol evidence, which was somewhat
sustained by quit-claim deed Sc
cured from her by Assistant Attor-
ney General Haight, when the foun-
datiOn to the million dollar state
house was begun, to cure an alleged
defect in the title to the tract. This
new deed it is not denied, contains a
reversionary clause, but the very ma
ture of u quit-claim neither conveys
nor confcrs anything more than what
may be a valid and lawful claim.
The court, therefore, very properly
concluded that the invalidation of
the quit-claim deed does not affect
the States title acquired under orig
inal deed in 1858.
1t seems to the ordinary layman
that, outside of all legal verbiage.
the gift of a site was made to secure
benefits from the location of the seat
of government here, and that the
site was mere detail or incident of
that act; that this site might be
sold, or exchanged, to secure the best
interests of the city, if only the OBJ
jet contemplated by Mr.. Sylvester,
the executive and Legislative offices
and such other natural adjuncts of
the seat of government, were main
tanned at Olympia.
But, then, decision that covers
the precise limits and bounds of the
bequest, for such it has become, is
much better, as meeting in full all
doubts as to future controversy and
possibly litigation.
1t is said that the preliminary
steps towards the construction of an
executive residence will now be COM
menced by sale of bonds to secure
the funds provided for construction.

An Instance Of Vicarious Atonement

1t seems that President Roosevelt
has been induced to take Il hand in
rendering effective the order lately
given at West Point to deny Mrs.
Ayers, wife of Lieutenant Colonel
Charles q. Ayers, admission to the
academy grounds. The husband very
naturally agreed with his wife, when
she criticised the court-martial of ca
diets who had gallantly given their
mackintoshcs to ladies during a rain
storm. This Sir Walter Raleigh act.
ii seems. was not appreciated by the
drum head corps and they pun
ished the cadets for a violation of
military discipline As the wife cX-
crciscd the American privilege of us
ing her tongue, in self-defense, when
denied admission to the military res
ervation. these military martinctS,
in revenge, reach out beyond her,
and tapped her husband on the head
with Tcddys club. They were en-
abled to do this through an obscure
section of the Revised Statutes,
which is to be construed to fit such
cases, or rather the subject is to be
made to fit the case, wherein an officer
may be retired from active service,
on discretion of the President, when
ever a board reports mental or ply
steal inability. Col. Ayers has a
record of 81 years of faithful service,
and is still in his prime, but it is or
dered that he must be deposed SIM
ply because his wife's sympathy got
the better of her discretion in COM
menting upon questionable finding
of hide-bOund commission. 1t is
not surprising however, that Mr.
Roosevelt made the scheme practical
bic. 1t will be remembered that he
rewarded with a postoffice the man
who elected Mrs. Morris from the
White House. a few months ago,
whose only Otfense was that she want
ed to submit an appeal to the Presi-
dent for her husband, who had been
subject to just such arbitrary rule of
petty army officers.
