ANOTHER VIEW oE III.

The silly talk Of the visit Of the
Atlantic naval fleet to the Pacific con.
stitutIng menace and an affront to
Japan is pretty effectualy set at rest
by Ambassador Aoki's announcement
that If the fleet, on its return trip, will
visit Japan 1t will go far to cement
the friendly relations Of the two ma.
lions. No plans have been made for
the return Of the fleet as yet, but there
is food for thought in the Ambassa.
doris suggestion. The lingo party in
Japan is the minority party which has
sought to utilize false stories of the
treatment Of Japanese in the United
States to make trouble for the party
in power. The men who govern Jap.
an have never entertained any but
the most friendly relations toward the
United States. The people, some Of
them at least, have been suffering from
insufferabe conceit because OF their
victory over Russia, and It has made
them too ready to pick a quarrel.
These jingoes are the same people who
insisted that the peace Of Portsmouth
was disgraceful surrender on the
part Of the Japanese. for they were
wholly ignorant of the fact thatsthe
Japanese treasury was empty and that
Japan could not have fought another
two months. They have not yet real;

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Curious Legend About the ORR
gin Of That Being.

There is a quaint tradition about
how the belief in the man in the moon
originated that is worth reading.
Like SO many Of these beliefs, says
the washington star, It began way
back in Bible times, and in quite an
other dress. Many nations the old
man is supposed to be the one who
first made his appearance in the book
of Numbers Chapter Ky, verse 23).
Then he was found by the children Of
Israel gathering sticks on the Sab
bath day. He was taken before Moses
and condemned ID, death. He was TAX
en- lated outside the camp and stoned
until he died. One would thinkthat was
punishment enough, even for SO awful
a crime, but superstition took him in
hand at that point and consigned him
to the moon, where, with bunch Of
sticks on his tired old back, he was
destined to climb forever up the shin
ing hill and never reach the top. The
story goes that his faithful dog was
permitted to share his fate, and II you
look carefully when the night Is clear
and dark you will see the pair toiling
away upon their endless climb.
The face Of the old man also grew
out of the old-tiYe tradition, but the
figures are qllte plain II one puts
on the glasses Of imagnaton.

Much Yet to DO.

There is much for the Republican
party in this State to do, notwith-

made in the Nation. 1t has not done
all that the people might expect Of it,
in the way of tax reform, for the rea.
son of the united opposition Of the
Democrats, assisted by a few recalci-
trant Republicans. What 1t has done
is good, but the taxing system has as
yet not been perfected in the way and

move contemplated and designed thai
1t should be done,

been educational and fully demon
