philadelphia Press. }

English creditors who own a very
large amount of japanese securities con-
stitute a most vigorous peace" party.
The very last thing which they wish to
see is any larger war expenditures.
Japan's official budget for 1908 has
thrown somewhat of chill over these
foreign creditors, which in a measure is
reflected by the depressed price of Jap
anese bonds in the various markets of
the world.
The budget shows that while SS5, 000,-
600 was spent on the army and navy for
the current year, there is to be an in
crease of $50, 900, 900 next year. In a
country whose total revenue is only
S315, 900, 900, an outlay of S140, 900, 600
for the army and navy is very heavy.
Japan's debt per capita is today five
and half times as great as it was only
six years ago. Even in this year of
peace the debt rose $57, 900, 900, which
for so poor country is big sum.
If it were conceivable that Japan's
hotheads-could stir up serious trouble
over fancied wrongs, it is absolutely
certain that Japan's ally would counsel
peace to the last minute. Moreover,
there can be no doubt that the sober
minded statesmen of Japan themselves
realize their countrys financial straits
as keenly as anybody.

The Canal a Mighty Weapon.
philadelphia Press.)

There is today put before every
American citizen concrete reason for
the hasty completion of the Panama
Canal. War with Japan is not immi-
nent. nor can anyone forsee when such
a conflict may occur because there are
now reasons for it. But the Pacific is
always there, and the nations that sur
round it will be there. Pacific COM
merce will grow greater and with it
will expand the problems controlling it.
With the Panama Canal in use, the
shifting of the battleship fleet from the
Atlantic to the Pacific will be as little
trouble as sending it from West Indian
waters to Newport. 1t can go and come
and never be without the easy range of
coaling stations on the American main
land.
The quick building of the canal will
put an invincible instrument in the
hands of the United States, which in
time of war with any Power on the Pa
cific would become and an all-conquer-
ing weapon.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that the
generally accepted limitation of human
life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced knowledge
of which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
ton, seems to be between 80 and 30; the
proper care of the body during this de-
cade cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity

WEDDING FEE THAT LASTED.
Minister'S Honorarium Was Unusual,
But Gratifying.

The number Of marriages in a coun-

large enough to make the fees much
of an addition to the minister's slen-
der salary, and the fees themselves
are sometimes of a curious nature.
One New England clergyman tells
of a wedding fee which lasted ten
times as long as any other he ever
received, and which, he believes, has
never been duplicated.

widow to an elderly bachelor, who
was sadly in need of just the care
