ENGLAND ON JAPAN

THAT there is a worldwide belief in
the conflicting natures of the oc-
II cidental and oriental peoples is
evident by the proposed restrictive
measures now up for action in Canada
touching Japanese immigration; and
what is national in Canadian policy
must ultimately come to be SO in
British policy generally. The following
from the London Spectator, the ac-
knowledged mouthpiece of conservative
England and a strong adherent of the
japanese alliance policy now in force
in that country, proves the belief is
growing on British ground:
1--WE have the, highest admiration for
the valor, the patriotism, the genius
and the great spiritual qualities of the
Japanese, and none desire more ar
IDENTIFY than we do to live on the friend
liest terms with them, and to see them
play that great part in the worlds his
tory which we believe they are destined
to play if they are content to move at
first slowly and prudently. At the same
time-as they. we are sure, will be the
and pure reason what they will. our
duty in the last resort is to our own
flesh and blood. We must stand by our
own people, and by the communities
which form part of our empire. This
does not, of course, involve standing by
them in outraging any moral or re-
ligious or political obligation; but stand
by them we must when they are vindi-
eating with reason and moderation and
due regard to justice their instructive
feeling that they can only develop their
national life on the highest scale If they
remain white mems countries, gov
erned in accordance with the ethical
and religious ideals Of the western
races"
This is a concrete form of just what
is now passing in the minds of the peo-
pie of Australia and New Zealand and
what is taking vital shape in Canada.
The duties incumbent on an ally to-
ward another nation are such as to call
for counsel and material support when
necessary, but do not involve questions
of policy which can reach the internal
affairs Of either party. Japanese immi-
grafton threatens British colonial peace
and the welfare of her colonial peoples,
and the home government cannot afford
to remain blind to these facts.
In consonance with the expressed
policy Of all good men in America, the
Englishman will delight in the progress
Of Japan in all that goes to make a
great nation, but in the matter Of con-
serving the best interests of her own
people at home she cannot permit even
the rights of an ally to interfere.
In California all good men will take
pleasure in Witnessing the advances Of

TAFT's COURAGE

G ECRETARY TAFT, whose gusta-
torial exploits got him into trouble
~ recently in st. Paul, has not
learned wisdom by experience. In Min
nesota, with its heavy Scandinavian
population, it was ludehsk and other
similar North Cape dainties that
caused the rotund secretary's capacious
stomach to rebel. In Kentucky. where
Taft was few days ago, it was waffles,
Southdown mutton and old ham.
The secretary is, at least, courageous.
The pangs of stomachache have for
him no terrors. At Lexington, when he
was offered waffies for breakfast, he
not only accepted with avidity but like a
good colonel, passed his plate for a Sec
ond helping. And the mutton and ham,
products native to the soil, followed
quickly after the waffies to safe har-
Dor in the amiable secretary's depart
ment of the interior.
Then, at luncheon, Secretary Taft's
Kentucky host solemnly and with
the reverence befitting the moment,
placed before his distinguished guest
not a glass of buttermilk; bless you,
no; but mint julep in which the mint
had not been crushed but had been al
lowed to mingle with the whisky quite
as nature intended it should do
The colonel beamed. Taft, the Dip
lonat, rose impressively to his feet and
drank that julep as all good juleps
should be drunk. not hastily but with
proper decorum and with fine appre-
citation of the mastery art evidenced in
its concoction.
Then he went out on the front porch
and shook hands with the "colored
voters who had assembled to do him
honor.

DR.. John r. Haynes Is to be congrat-
ulated on the success Of the move to in
corporate a recall clause in the charter
of San Francisco. If the northern city
had been fortunate enough to have had
such provision 1t would not have been
necessary to put dishonest officials in
prison and then settle in court the
validity Of boodlers' claims of still be-
ing officials of the municipal govern
ment. With the recall San Francisco
can remove from office those grossly
negligent or dishonest and then pro-
ceed to prosecute them for their crimes.
There can be no doubt about what the
voters will do when the question Of the
adoption of the clause comes to a test
by the long suffering public.

Japan to national greatness and will
hail the day of great transoceanic COM
merce with joy, lending all possible aids
to that end and investing millions on
this side Of the water for ships and
their equipment; seeking markets
among their people and affording their
merchants equal privileges here; but in
the vital matter of the immigration of
unlimited numbers of Japanese coolies
to this country, to harass and burden
the labor market and clash In private
life with our national customs, the peo-
pie will register their unalterable dis
approval.
Pacific must include markets on both
sides and the incidental traffic they
create, and the Japanese people now
have almost a monopoly in the traffic
line. If the Republican party should
again get lease of power it is possible
that Japanese merchants may control
Pacific steamship service, all of which
will be cheerfully borne by Americans
and no stumbling block be put in the
way; but to receive into this country
an alien people utterly differing from
us in all that is sacred and national is
something the American people will not
permit.
That conservative and allied England
is forced to take a similar view ought
to prove to the Japanese people that the
objection is not only American alone,
but by reason of the serious interests
involved, universal.

NAVAL "GRoWLs"

HyHE alleged mutiny reported on
board the United States cruiser
"A Raleigh at Honolulu is pointer
that may be turned to a good purpose
by the general public on the arrival of
the battleship fleet on this coast. 1t
should be generally known that men
who go to sea for livelihood are cer-
tain to develop a grumbling disposition.
largely due to lack of mental exercise
and that man-o'-warsmen are more
given to this weakness than are their
be shown that some question of liberty
on shore caused the men to tgrowl"
and that some keen-eared and excit-
able landsman heard them "cuss"
everything from the truck to the keel
son and all between and straightway
put it on the wires. 1t is certain no
officer had any part in the "mutiny,"
and equally so that no mutiny occurred.
When the battleships are here and
their crews are ashore it will astonish
our people who may not be acquainted
with seamen's ways to hear them put
it all over some officer who has been
exacting in the performance of duty,
but it would not be healthy for those
who hear such talk to chime in with it,
for these same men would turn on him
and really put it all over him. in true
Queensberry fashion. They 'growI'
among themselves, but woe be to the
man who growls at their officers.
nj If7y
a 'fresh" clerk in his office whom he
knew in private life and who accosted
him saying: admiral, what shall call
you under this new business arrange
ment?" "My sailor friends call me
THAT - - old baldheaded -
- schley!' and my land friends
call me Admiral Schley'; you go to
your desk and when / want you I'll call
for you'll" The admiral loved his men
and knew they loved him all the more
for the ornate titles they gave him.
Even incipient mutiny would meet in
stant check, and the real article would
find publicity only in the pistol shot
that killed the offender. 1t would be
impossible for mutiny to develop on
warship, as the contact of officers and
men is such as to make it so. In the
old days, in the case of a small sailing
brig on a deep water voyage, young
officer led the men to mutiny, but he
was swung to the yardarm next day,
and all the pull OF wealthy relatives
failed to harm the captain who ordered
the execution.
The coaling of our large naval ships
is a work of hard drudgery, and in
cruising 1t comes frequently, and men
grumblc and growl at the work, but
their officers expect this and pay no at
tention to it. 1t would be wise for the
people to be equally discreet in that
direction when the fleet arrives, for it
is almost certain to contain the usual
number Of "growls," and the freqHent
coaling and drills en- route will prime
them for general explosion by the
time they get ashore here.
"GrowIing' is the special privilege OF
a man-o'-warsman; mutiny is unknown
in the service.

CIVIL WAR INCIDENT
RECALLED BY VISIT
Southern Woman, Nov in Vermont, Was
Interceder for Capt Joelyn, Who
Was Badly Wounded in
Battle.

An interesting incident Of the Civil
war j. brought 70 mind By the recent
/ visit TO Vermont OF one OF the parties
who took a principal part IN IL. The
incident was on Of many, IN which the
women and girls of the South helped the
wounded Union soldiers and nurscd them
in sickness and rendered aid in other
ways.
The soldier in this particular case was
Captain c. Edwin Joslyn, Company D,
sixth Vermont Infantry, and the young
girl who assisted him was Miss Susan
kinzsl. She afterwards became Ars. +.
ID. Laws and Is the mother Of f. Nc
Phcrson Laws Of this city, whom she has
been visiting.
Captain Joslyn was shot through the
left eye by a Southern sharpshooter at
the battle of Winchester, Va. Sept. 10,
1864. and was thought TO be fatally
wounded. but he was taken to the
general hospital, an old inn, where he
was seen by little Susan Kinzel. a miss
Of ten years. who prevailed upon her
parents to take him 10 their home, where
he was nursed for six weeks until he had
80 far recovered as TO be able to return
20 his Vermont home.
The address Of the soldier was lost
and for p years no communication was
held between the parties, until 1892,
when, through friend. Captain Joslyn
learned Of the address Of the family who
had aided him in his time of need. After
that time until his death few years
ago, a regular correspondence had been
kept up between the two families and
after that it was continued by Mrs. Jos
lyn, who survives her husband, the cap
tain.
Upon the occasion OF her visit to her
son IN this city, Mrs. Laws, who now
resides at Front ROYAL, Va. went TO
Barton, where Mrs. Joslyn now resides,
and had the pleasure Of being for a day
the guest Of the woman whose husband
was saved from death through her kind
heartedness.
