JAPAN WILL NOT DRIVE US TO WAR.

Y HERE is much senseless chatter about the
- Philippine Islands, and our relations with
Japan concerning them. Many newspapers have
been full of it, some have been trying to create
a war scare and there are dire predictions as to
the future. The talk has found its way into
Congress. The Japanese, perhaps, not under
standing the vast amount of warm air. on pot-
ica matters that is circulated in this country,
may imagine that there is some meaning to this
Philippine and Japanese gable. But there is
really none. Japan is not at all likely to molest
MS in the Philippines. She is not hunting a war
with this country and certainly America is too
busy with commercial and industrial prosperity
to think of going to war with Japan. 1t must
be recalled that Japan did not seek a war with
Russia. 1t was the aggressiveness of Russia
and not of Japan that brought about that mighty
conflict Why, then, should there be fear even
among the curbstone orators that Japan would
seek to play the same game of trying to grab
the Philippine Islands when she resented the in
truson of Russia into what was regarded as
Japanese territory The presence OF the United
States in the Philippines seems to be satisfac-
tory to the rest of the world and even should
Japan attempt to get the island, she would find
few sympathizers and would be unable to hold
them. Let us settle the trouble with Japan over
the school question in California. but, there is
no need of Juggling the Philippine Islands into
the question.

Editor The Evening Journal.
wish TO call your attention to the
following facts. I do not want to in
huence your decision to be drawn from
them, but merely subject them to your
careful consideration.
The superintendent Of Sussex county
schools has 1872 teachers under his sup
ervision scattered over 300 square miles
Of territory or AZ 2-tO per cent of the
whole state Each of these teachers
he must. by law pay at least two
hours visit annually. With no driv-
ing between the schools he could not
visit but three a day or we have prac'
tically 100 days travel. The greater
part OF this Is with team at $500 per
day. You can add to this $500 per day
for hotel bills. as the railroad sched-
ules are such that he cannot return
home in the evening. He has to at
tend the meetings Of the county school
commission and also those Of the State
Board OF Education. He has to hold
eight examinations. In addition he has
his desultory travel in the interest OF
schools. In one year by actual count
he sent out 5000 pieces Of mail matter.
He formerly had a pass on the rail-
read. yet this has been taken away and
his railroad fare last year amounted
to 5000. His salary is $1,000 with no
contingent fund. The House has voted
down a proposition TO increase the
salary to $500. The Senate on Friday
killed a bill to allow him $500 travel
ing expenses.

Continuous Railroad Wrecks.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The wreck on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road again brings foreibly to the mind
the great danger Of operating fast
trains. 1t seems to me that it would
be better IL the railroad companies
" ould refuse to operate a train faster
than forty miles an hour under any
circumstances, and. should a train drop
back on the schedule, to make no ef-
fort to regain the time.
OF course, I can appreciate the fact
that practically everyone who travels
wishes to go as fast as possible. and
also that a train running forty miles
a nhour would make a wreck as bad
as one running a few miles per hour
faster. This being true, Il is a mat
ter that seems to make very little diff
ference. but have observed that the
majority Of the accidents occur when
trains are behind time and are en-
deavoring TO make no the schedule.
Respectfully,

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IN RUSSIA.

II ECENT elections in Russia have not been
~ pleasing to the Car. The experiment fin
ally wrung from the emperor to permit his peo-
pie to have a shacked voice in the affairs of the
government, and to enjoy parliament of their
own has been blow to the bureaucrats. The
repeated elections always ending with the same
result, most clearly demonstrate that the mass
of the Russian people are not in sympathy with
autocratic rule. In a nation like Russia with all
the machinery Of even pretended fair election
in the hands of the reactionaries and imperial
lists, one would fancy that the defenders Of So
called conservatism and Of the Car, would at
least be able 10 make a respectable showing in
the election Of members OF the Duma. Anpar-
entity to the outside world the Russian was
devoted follower Of the Orthodox church, an ad-
mirer Of the Little Father" willing TO pay ex-
cessive taxes and permit his toll to be exacted

pEssIM1sTs GETTING BUSY.

THE country has been so prosperous on the
Il whole that some writers and prophets ex-
pect a sudden and early reaction There is moth
ing on which to base such predictions except a
pessmstic opinion that good times cannot con-
tinue too long and there must be a change. But
along comes the rich promise of the foreign trade
Of the United States. Many American manufac-
turers are unable to meet the demands of the
home market and yet the business from abroad is
constantly increasing and the export trade con-
tinualy enarges. The gain in the exports of the
country is much larger in proportion than is the
growth of our population. The foreign market
is a most attractive one for our manufacturers
and should make up for any slackening in the
home consumption even should that be apparent.
