SEA GIRT FARMERS
ENJOY ANNUAL DIP
Special TO the Herald.

Sea Girt, n. j., Aug. 10.-This was
the annual Salt Water Day" for a
large part of New Jersey. The farm
ers for miles around, their wives and
children, focked to the beach in great
crowds, and the occasion was like
those of past years. This was espec-
tally the case when it came to a mat
ter of bathing suits, which were of a
great variety. A feature of the day
was the great crowd of summer visit
ors from the cottages and hotels
along the coast They came in car
riages and automobiles to see the fun,
and early in the afternoon there were
fully eight thousand people on the
beach watching the rural visitors TAX
ing their annual dip.

London, Aug. 10.-Under the presi.
dency of the Bishop of Birmingham an
important conference of the Workers
Educational Association assembled to-
day at oxford. The question as to

proposition provides for the appropria-
ton of sufficient money to complete

now amounting to over $4,000. with
which will be erected a library build

made in the per capita tax to meet

Why ANY Feeling Against Iapan2 ?

The responsibility Of the press for the
creation of international I'll feeling where
none should exist has a fresh illustration
in the infammatory outbreaks of certain
Tokyo journals. as well as in the persistent
attempts of a number Of American news
papers to impress upon the public the
idea that Japan is pursuing a policy Of
commercial and political aggression that
will some day bring her into armed col
lsiOn with the United States. A member
Of the japanese legation reminds us that
there are yellow journals in Japan as
in this country, a fact evident enough
from the extraordinary demands made on
the government by those journals. which
are said to insist on forcible action,
amounting to an overt act Of war in order
to bring the United States to terms and
obtain redress for the japanese oUtrages
in San Francisco. Scarcely less remark
able is the accusation by a deputation Of
the progressive party that the japanese
foreign Office is inactive and inefficient
in the presence Of the grave diplomatic
questions" involved in American out
breaks of race feeling against the Jap
anese.
All this is familiar enough 10 observers
of the methods by which party leaders
and rabid and partisan press seek 10
create a public opinion favorable to their
purposes. A relatively minor incident.
temporarily disturbing the even current
of international relations. is magnfied
far beyond its proper dimensions in order
to give colorado ground for an attack on
the government, which in Japan, as in
every other country having a responsible
ministry. means an attack on the party
in power The incident in san Francisco
is but a type Of those liable to happen in
any country. 1t is properly subject of
diplomatic representation. which has been
made In this case, and of such action on
the part of the offending nation as prec-
edent and fair dealing prescribe. There
is no occasion for heroics on either side
over so petty an affair. The japanese
government has INDUCED in no observable
outbursts of lofty indignation. nor would
such be warranted by any state Of facts
so far developed. Such reparation as
can be rendered. and as is customarily
made, will undoubtedly be forthcoming
in due order. That will be the end of

IN JUSTICE TO ROMANUs II.
A Contemporary Sets Us Right Con-
cerning an Important Point.

From the New York sun.
The Washington Herald's unintelligent
remarks concerning "an ancient gentle
man named Romanus'' convince US that
the editorial staff of that newspaper
ought 70 associate more frequently with
MI Silas Wegg and the Boffins:

was promptly rejected. and which, being
so much less than they expected. incensed
rather than placated the Irish National
lists.
This failure is not the only important
one of the present ministry. great part
Of the big Liberal majority in the Com
mons Is made UP Of Nonconformists, and
the premier has been quite unable TO sat
isfy their demands. The way in when
the ministry dealt with the agitation by
the women for the right Of franchise dld
not tend TO strengthen il, and the failure
Of the governments education measure
was most marked. Then, too. certain
socialistic tendencies of the present Far-
lament have excited the fears OF the
substantial middle classes in England
and the recent by-elections have clearly
indicated that the Unionists are gaining
strength even in the Liberal strongholds
The Liberals went into power with Dig
majority. but If the vote were analyzed
II would be seen that in great many OF
the country districts the contests were eN-
tremelv close. and that the victory OF the
liberal members was due very largely 10
temporary disaffection Of the Unionists'
who desired in this way-the only effec-
tive way in England-to show their dis
satisfaction with their own leaders. A
slight change in sentiment would, II
seems. suffice TO obliterate the Liberal ma
iorlty altogether, fact which is clearly
recognized by Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman.
Thus. although the House Of Lords
promptly rejected his education bill. the
premier had to sit silent under the rebuff
fearing that an appeal to the country
would result in his undoing. For the
same reason, perhaps. the Liberals have
made no move toward introducing the
measure which was to abolish or reform
the House OF Lords. They realize that
their hold on the country is weakening
and that in vital struggle on any great
public question the Liberal ministry will
go 20 the wall

The liberal Ministry in Danger

Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman. prime
minister of Great Britain. is finding that
there is grave danger of the fulfllment Of
Mr. Joseph ChamberIain's prophecy that
the ministry would not last more than
two years. Already there are signs Of
disintegration. and it is becoming pretty
evident that the prime minister fears. in
spite Of the big Liberal majority which
carried him to power. to take any i'm
portant issue 70 the people for decision.
theoretically, the Liberals in the British
House Of Commons are bound together
by a common tie. but as a matter Of fact
there Is only one issue on which they may
be said 10 be in entire accOTd-free trade.
On other important questions there are a
variety Of opinions. so that the premier Is
quite unable to get his official family to
work harmoniously with him. Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman has been strongly
in favor Of home rule for Ireland and
has favored a revival Of the Gladstone
home rule measure Of a generation ago,
but his cabinet could not be brought %
agree with him, and the only result, after
a lot Of agitation. was the Irish council

ADVICE TO THE PRESIDENT.
Distribution of His Photographs Too
Much like King or Actress.

From the NeU l0rs Times
We do wish that the President would
stop sending his autograph photographs
10 people who have not asked for them.
The assumption that such gifts will be
gratefully received and carefully cher
ished is not without basis in fact. but it
is a Httle-wel, amusing. just the same.
and it is not desirable that a President OF
the United States should be amusing
Anybody who wants a picture Of Mr..
Roosevelt-many Of us do, and all Of Us
like to see them-csn buy the same at a
store. And If any of us asks him to write
his name on one Of his pictures thus
bought. It will be kind if he does it. But
for him to scatter such pictures all over
the country as rewards for small favors
is "A little too much like a king, and also
a little too much Ike a prima donna or
