the present and absolute faith in the future. The official view is accepted without question by the great mass of the people who must pay, pay, pay for war with Russia, for splendid navy and great docks and shipyards, and for the maintenance of an army. The strain upon the taxpayers is indi- cated in the increase of national reve- nues, derived in large part from direct taxation, from S163, 763, GOO in 1904, to S30S, 227, GOO for the present year.
 In the almost impossible event of war with the United States it is not to be thought that Japan would get out of it any more cheaply than she got out of her struggle with Russia. That cost her $500, GOO, 00O, on which she must pay more than s26, 900, GOO year for interest. In addition to that her payments for "rewards and pensions" for the last two years are greater by some s15, 900, GOO to SIS, 900, 900 year than they were for the years preced- ing the war period. Another war would mean more interest charges. more ''rewards and pensions" and another enormous increase in taxation of her already heavily burdened people.
 The per capita wealth of the United States is estimated as somewhat ex- ceeding s12oo. A few years ago the Bank of Japan prepared tabulated estimate of the per capita wealth of that country. It may be assumed that the figures were set as high as it was thought safe to place them. On the basis of a liberal increase in value since that time, four years ago, the per capita wealth of Japan today would be below rather than above $150. For nation of its class this is very meager sum. Japan's national debt is probably not far from one-sev- enth of her total national wealth. Our debt is less than l per cent of our wealth.
 Japan's fighting abilities on land and on sea have commanded the ad- miration of the world. Her economic development during recent years has been remarkable. Her place in the world of tomorrow will depend upon her cultivation of the arts of peace rather than those of war. In fact, from figures of her own official publi- cation, it is quite evident that anoth- CT conflict would mean her utter ruin. Japan is solvent today, but her con- tinued solvency will depend upon a long period of peace and active indus try. Nothing can be more certain full aware of this fact.

Taking into consideration the fact that Hon. John w. Corson spoke in a hostile camp in sense, the gathering which greeted him at the opera house last night, constituted one of the greatest compliments ever paid an Alaskan speaker. The address spark led with eloquence, although not of a dramatic nature, and being delivered in logical and convincing manner carried weight sufficient to banish all legitimate opposition to the proposed appeal at the next convention, for ter ritorial government.
 The presence of Juneau's best citi- zens shows that the topic is one of deep interest and it is certain that DO person attending the meeting left without a broader view of this import ant question. Alaska Dispatch.

On per caita basis Japan's national debt and annual exenditure are both considerably below the general run of such charges in other countries of large population. Yet for Japan in her present condition it is only possi- ble to regard them as heavily burden some on her people. The Japanese. of today are paying for the Japanese of tomorrow. The natural resources of the country are not great and it is as a whole land of poor people who live simply and work laboriously, because they must, on wage or income which from an American point of view is a mere pittance. Some idea of condi- tions is obtained when it is understood that there are millions of Japanese whose income is not more than slO0 a year, and that there are hundreds of thousands whose yearly income is considerably below that sum.
 Just what official Japan really thinks about its present and future none cac say. The official expressions invari- ably point to entire satisfaction with

A Columbus, Ohio man has invent ed mechanical typewriter that prom ises to eliminate the present day pret- ty stenographer. His machine, it is claimed will actually write letters at the rate of l, 1000 words a minute, con tinuously and do the work correctly and automatically. This wonderful machine will be on exhibition at the national business shows to be held in New York and Chicago this fall. The machine may be operated in two ways. If it is desired to make a number of copies of the same letter with differ ent names and address, it will per- form this work, producing in each case an original letter in one, two or three colors, fill in the name and ad- dress and add the signature.
 A business man desiring to dictate may use this automatic typewriter by talking his letters into a device like the photograph. transfers the record to the machine, turn on the electric current and go home. The next morn ing the letters will be done, the mach inc automatically stopping when all letters are written. It will also ad- dress envelopes or wrappers, and count them as well. It will write for ward or backward, and if desired the lines may be justified like type. Wives of business men may now breathe easier, for the machine is warranted not to fiirt.
