JapEn's Future.

From the New York Sun.
II japan sticks faithfully to business
she may safely count on an important
future. II she tangles herself unduly in
games of either domestic or international
politics or becomes involved IN war, her
experiment viii be failure. and her flu
ture dark and uncertain. There is also
an element of danger in an issue which
is too wide for consideration here That
lies in a possible expansion Of democracy
in Japan, and in a resultant interference
with the policies Of the present centralized
government. The new America was built
on new ground. The new Japan must be
built on and with the materials Of an old
Japan.

Describing Mr.. Graves.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Hon. John Temple Graves, Of At
lanta, Ga, is a diamond with a multitude
Of shimmering angles and facets-an opal
Of great price, with ten million changing
colors. tints, hues. and compilations. He
is one-man band. faculty of the arts
and sciences, a high court Of supreme ju-
dicature, welded, squeezed, and boiled
down into one man and clad in one pair
of pantaloons. One day he sounds his
trumpet blast-and catiffs tremble and go
white at the gills. The next day he sum-
mons sweet harmonics from his rosewood
violin-and all the earth seems filed with
the sound Of birds singing. brooks purling.
and lovers kissing. Thus he skips and
gallops through the orchestra, once halt
ing at the B-fiat clarinet and anon tick
ling the springs of the bass piccolo.

Favors Suitable Embassies

At least one member of the House Of
Representatives will lend active aid next
year TO Representative Nicholas Long
worth in the latter's movement to secure
q Congressional appropriation for the pur-
chase of United States embassies and
legations abroad. He is William NJ
Calder. Of Brooklyn. who is spending the
summer abroad, and is giving special at
tention to the subject referred to. Inter
viewed by the Brooklyn Eagle CORE
spondent IN Paris this week, Representa-
tive Calder said that present conditions
are humiliating in the extreme TO all
Americans, and that he intends to urge
the purchase Of embassies and legations
at the larger foreign capitals when the
next Congress meets. Mr.. Longworth
has worked toward the same end ever
since he came 10 Congress, but without
achieving any tangible results.

Secretary Taft,s vacation.

You're no good at tennis, dad, but
you're an awful lot of fun" is a remark
which the Hon. William Howard Taft.
Secretary of War, is said 10 have heard
quite often in the last few weeks. Up
near the little story-and-a-half cabin on
the Canadian side of the st. Lawrence
River where the Secretary and his family
are spending the summer. he yields as
often as possible to the opportunities Of
his youngest soG to play tennis. Golf
suits the big Ohioan rather better than
tennis, for obvious reasons. and. under
the circumstances. it is not altogether
surprising that the observation quoted
should be forthcoming from the younger
Taft
Secretary Taft and two of his brothers
have been going to Murray Bay practically
every summer FOR fifteen years. The place
Is east Of Montreal, and is accessible
only by the steamboats, which ply the St
Lawrence, which at this point is quite
wide. Murray Bay realms much of the
old-time quaintness Of all that part of
Canada inhabited by French Canadians.
The summer home IF the Secretary of
War is right in the middle of the town.
and is reached by narrow boardwalk
from the main street. There is & yeritable
colony OF Tafts there. twenty-cne mem
bers of the family having spent one sum-
mer in the town. The Secretarv's IA
vorite diversion is golf, at which he is
skillful.

Prom the Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Tafts popular qualities, his
administrative success in various rela-
tons, and his Identification with the
President have given his candidacy a
strong hold on the public imagination. But
it must be recognized that the serious
division in Ohio, which is a somewhat
equivOcal State. and the persistent opposi-
ton of an element which possesses no
little power, impair the force of the move
ment on his behalf.

Martin LittIcton.s Success.

Martin ". Littleton, who. It is an
nounced. is TO have charge Of the Harry
X. Thaw defense in the next trial Of that
individual for the murder Of Stanford
White, has achieved material success az
a rate which is noteworthy even IN these
days Of rapid rises. He is only thirty
five years old, and is a native Of Ten
nessee. In all his biographies it is as
serted that he was "self-educated." He
practiced law at Dallas, Tex, for some
time in the '9Js. and then moved 10
Brooklyn, where he soon became a power
in politics. For four years he was as
sistant district attorney of Kings County.
and was president Of the borough of
Brooklyn. 1g03-05 He attained consider
able prominence in 1904 by reason of his
selection by New York State Democrats
20 present the name OF Alton B. Parker
10 the ST. Louis convention. His ability
as an orator and his knowledge of the
law have combined to bring him in a
lucrative practice, and he is now num-
bered among The comfortably well off,
citizens OF Brooklyn, although his means
were small when he went To mat city

ELECTIONS IN PHILIPPINES.

From the New York sun.
Perhaps if our Congress could be pre-
vailed upon to grant the Fiipinos the
same privileges as have been conceded
70 the Porto Ricans, so that the sugar,
tobacco. and other products Of the islands
could enter our ports duty free, the
activity and prosperity which undoubt-
eddy would follow might cause the best
part Of the Filipino electorate TO vel
come more cordially the offer Of partial
autonomy. As it is they know that the

large as is that Of the extensive and

VIEWS ON THE TARIFF
QUESTION.

1.-THE tariff question should
be approached purely from a
business standpoint; both the
time and the manner of the
change being such as to arouse
the minimum of agitation and
disturbance in the business
world, and to give the least
play for selfish and factional
motives. The sole considera-
ton should be to see that the
sum total of changes repre-
sents the public good. This
means that the subject cannot
with wisdom be dealt with in
the year preceding presiden-
tlal election because, as a mat
ter of fact, experience has con-
clusively shown that at such
time it is impossible to get
men TO treat it from the stand
point of the public good. In
my judgment the wise time
to deal with the matter is inn
mediately after such an cleo
ton"
