our country's material advancement SO
fully justifes. Its hmitless resources, its
astonishing growth, its unapproachable in

inventive genius have made 1t the wonder
of the centuries.
Nevertheless these things do not COM
plete the story Of a people truly great. Our

II indulge in no mere figure OF speech

our minds the impressiveness and RESPONSE

1.-The land We live in seems to be strong
and active But how fares the land that
lives in US? Are we sure that we are
doing all we ought to keep it, IN ro oeer We

Iegiance. and are we furnishing them the

1.-The land we live in is safe as long as We
are dutifully careful of the land that lives
in us. But good intentions and fine senti-

could bestow upon the land that lives in us

consciences or dull our efforts
willing to confess, that behind all that
have said there is in my mind sober con-
yiction that we all can and ought to do
more for the country that lives in US than
1t has been our habit to do, and that no
better means to this end are at hand than
a revival Of pure patriotic affection for
our country for its own sake, and the &C
hearts and minds, of the virtues which
Washington regarded as all that was neces-

Little Rock, Ark, March 15.-The

 occasions, so there was no debate

THE sUBsIDENCE or
 JAPANESE WAR TALK.

The Japanese war talk has about subsided.
 It is noteworthy that the cartoonists of the United States have not pictured the Japanese in any unfavcrable light, nor has contempt been shown for their fighting power or their status as n na- tion. The ridiculc mas been directed almost entirely to the jingos on both sides of the ocean, and Uncle Sam and the Mikado have been pictured as friends and equals. The prevailing spirit of amity was never more perfectly reflected than in the cartoons that have refused to take the war talk seri. ously, and yet have never given the slightest cause for hurt feelings.
 The New York World did n splendid piece of business when it secured from prominent Japanese officials by cable the warmest expressions of good will Hayashi's little message swept away q lot of brush and left the field clear for the friendly meeting of two great na. t,ons ready and willing to discuss calm. ly and reasonably the questions that present themselves. The message is so courteous and diplomatic, and yet so direct and vigorous, that its meaning cannot be misunderstood or it's import. ance underestimated
 Japan is not looking for more trouble. She has n chronic rebellion in Formosa, and she can call herself mas. ter of no more than n third of the island of 7,50o square miles. Several thousand Japanese soldiers nave lost their lives within year, fighting the natives. Nearly l5,0OO Japanese com pose the Formosan army of occupation. The populace of Japan is bowling for ''som.thing to be done."
 In Korea, trouble is on the increase. The Japanese officials have been pub. bciy threatened with assassi nation, and the Japanese have n hard time to Vuell riots and prevent murlerous at. taeks. With two as widely separated spheres of anti.Japanese activity as Korea and Formosa, and the exposed position of the empire in event of par. s'ai failure, it is not at all likely that Japan will seek war with the United States. Japan can use all her people sn colonizing her own dependencies, and there is no logical reason why she should seek to encourage their emigra. tiOn to America.

Editorial Comment

Harrimans. And the most that q Rock. cfeller may dread is money fine, greatly less than the sum iilched f,om the pockets of the people.
 President Woodrow Wilson of Prince. ton, in his Fourth of July address at Jamestown, expressed the view which amounts to n popular conviction, when he said that, for the unlawful acts of corporations, men are responsible, anI men. not the corporations, should be punished. Why impound locomotive, because the engineer has been guilty of criminal carelcssncsss Lock up the engineer. President Wilson adds:
 "One really responsible man in jail, one real originator of the schemes and transactions which are contrary to pub. lie interest legally lodged in the peni. tcntiary, would bc worth more than n thousand corporations mulcted in fines, if reform is to be genuine and per. manent.'
 Fines are commonly regarded as Ii. censes paid. If the money to be made by breaking the law is greater than the probable penalty, the law will continue to be broken. But once place Harri. man, Gould and Schifr behind the bars, and there will be no more Alton deals, even with s23,OOO,OOO as the stake.
 Twenty three millions suggests the predicament of twcnty-three leading business men of Toledo, Ohio, who have been sentenced to six months in jail for violating the state law against conspiracies in restraint of trade. There will be no more such cases for the courts in Toledo, in many n day. Such law, when enforced, is in striking contrast with our national legislation along the same lines. We will not 20 quite so far as Judge Lindsey, and ad. vocate hanging for our Harrimans and Rockefellers. Stripes and prison fare will be sufficient.

DO NOT FEAR FINES.

New conditions, at times, require new remedies. The offcnses recognized by the criminal law are mainly such as have been common in society for cen turies. With the advance of civiliza. tion, 1t is no longer considered neces. sary to punish sheep stealing with death. The tendency has been toward mitigation of the penalties of the law.
 But, with the increasing complcxity of social relations, new offenses against the moral law appear for definition by the legal code. One of the most diff. cult problems in modern criminology is to find the most efficient way of deal. ang with predatory wealth. Shall we Anc our Rockefcllers, or send them to jaili
 Judge Ben Linscy of Denver, one of the foremost students of criminology in the country, declared, the other day, that men like Simon Guggenheim, wno bought his seat in the United States Senate, are worse than bomb throwers, and should be hung. Senator Cullom s opinion, that MT. Hartman should be in the penitentiary, is shared by many. But the plain fact is that we have no laws to reacn the Guggenheims and the

JAPAN MAKES KOREA AN
 ACTUAL DEPENDENCY

The Japanese seizure of Korea, con. summated, Thursday, is tine only pos. sible solution of the problem there pre- sented. Korea as an independent ns- tion is as unthinkable as Cuba in like status. There would always be an i'm. piled, if not actual, protectorate, just such as the United States must exer. else over Cuba always, despite the in. dependent form of government. Korea would be the prey of every power cray. ing more territory and prestige in the Orient, and Japan would have to un. dertake not merely general defence, but large share in administration, SO as to avoid causes of war.
 Korea is nearly as large as Italy, and about n third the size of Germany, France or Texas. Tho population is between 10000, ,000 and l5,OOO,OOO. The industries nre mainly agricultural, with some mines and fisheries. Korea has been n fruitful field for missionaries, and tho Christian religion is said to be receiving a good many converts. The national religion is nominslly Budd. hism. Tho nation has more than once been enthralled, and moro than once has 1t broken loose from its bonds.
 The Japanese occupation was inevit. able, as it is necessary to Japan's na. tional integrity and national prestige. The peninsula must be fortified, devel. oped and colonized. Railroads and tele- graphs, postroads and postoflices must be established. All these things Japan will do, in her own protection.
 But Korea will be handful, and Japan will not seek foreign wars for n few years.
