Special Correspondence to The Press


WASHINGTON, D. c., June I'll
Against whom is Japan making
ready its navy? The United States
or Germany?
This is the suggestive question
which l put to one of the highest
officials in the government. He
stipulated that his name should not
be used, and it therefore must be
suppressed. With this understand
ing he discussed freely the situation
in the far east.
Il do not like the looks of
things" said the official, gravely
shaking his head. I'VE know that
the Japanese are working their az
senals and shipyards night and day.
They are manufacturing ammuni-
ton and Strengthening their navy
with all the energy of an imme-
diate crisis.
Against whom are these prepa-
rations being made? 1t is all very
we'll to handy fair words; but why
work the shops? Japan has treaty
with England and has just COM
pleted one with France. No power
is menacing Japan. With their nor
NAL navy and such strong alliances
they are entirely safe from agrees
sion. Then why?
1T is possible, of course, that
they are preparing to make trou-
BILE for Germany. They are talking
about the integrity of China and
they may be preparing to serve no.
tice on Germany to get out of the
Chan Tung peninsula. The Ger
mans have a lease, and sphere of
influence for certain radius about
Kio Chau bay. This is distasteful
to Japan, which desires to domi-
nate China without German inter-
ference. That may be it. But Ger
many is a strong power and has
a good fleet, and it hardly seems
likely that Japan would want to in
vite trouble in that quarter.
as it the United States? Are
they looking for trouble with us?
We hope not. But why should they
show this recent disposition to
make a mountain out of mole
hill? Why this constant clamor in
their native press? Why this atti-
tude of a chip on the shoulder?
Their people are treated as well as
any foreign people who come to our
shores. If they are injured they
have the same remedy that our peo-
pie have. They are not acting in a
friendly way.
There are plenty of good reasons
why the japanese should not want
war with us. We always have been
their friends. They do not need any
more territory. They have Korea
and the Manchurian peninsula. |
see no reason why they should
covet the Philippines.
Moreover, if they get into trou-
BILE with us they will be certain to
get the worst Of It in the end. 1t is
said we are unprepared; that the
japanese could easily wipe up the
few cruisers and old gunboats we
have on the Pacific coast. 1t is
added that Guam, Hawaii and Alas
ka would go with the Philippines,
and that the cities of the Pacific
coast would be menaced by hos
tile fleet.
1T is said, moreover, that the
fact that the canal is not completed,
and that we have neglected to fori-
fy a naval base in the Philippines
at Subig bay, tempts Japan to has
ten the trouble.
Presenting this to be true-and
it probably is so far as the unpre-
paredness is concerned-that would
be only the first chapter of the
story. What would Japan do when

THE M'MANUs BILL.


The Sun never was enthusiastic over
the notion that if crime must be
committed 1t is better to have 1t CONF
mitted by residents of Iowa For that
reason II is not caught by the logic
of the McManus liquor bill, a measure
favorably reported from the committee
on suppression Of intemperance in the
Iowa senate The fact that 1t wassre-
ported from a committee of such name
does not mean that 1t is bill for the
suppression of intemperance. 1t is a
bill desired by the Iowa brewers and
wholesale liquor dealers, since it would
take away practically all the barriers
to their trade in prohibition communi-
ties and permit them to establish their
agents in such communities and do a
retail business under the guise of
wholesale selling. In other words the
practical effect Of it's enactment would
be the repeal of all that remains of
prohibition in Iowa. The measure re-
ceived in its report out OF the COM
mittee the nominal support OF men
whom the Sun scarcely expects to see
supporting it when it is taken up on
the question of passage. 1t was pro-
posed in the democratic platform last
fall and, for that reason is likely to
receive the support OF most of the
democratic senators.

eleven years of farming on this

eleven years of farming on this
one place it is a safe guess that the
figures would not go under $4,000.
This money was not made by
hauling what the farm produced to
the local market 1t was made
principally in live stock. During
the eleven years that Mr.. Fearer was
on this place he sold upwards Of $780,
600 worth of cattle and hogs. And out
Of these came the profits.
There Is no mystery about this
method OF making money. Any other
farmer can do as well il he follows
the same method. It is a business like
many another, and the one who under
stands 1t thoroughly and does the best
he can will get the same results.
Another thing In this connection.
Mr.. Fearer knew ON the start that
he was paying a higher rent than
other farmers, but he did not be-
grudge his landlord the money he
paid him. The excess that he paid
in rent came back to him in I'm
provements that helped to make
farming on the place convenient and
profitable. It was case where land
lord and tenant were willing to help
each other continually. And they both
made it pay Mr.. Fearer may have
made $4,000 out Of the place that ne
farmed for eleven years. but he leaves
the farm in as good condition as 1t was
when he came there.

Electricity For Railroads.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
evidently has decided upon electrically
equipping all its lines, says the New
ark IN. - Morning Star. 1t is now
said that the company is about to
equip the great stretch Of main line
between Philadelphia and Pittsburg
with electricity. A beginning has been
made In electrical construction In the
company's south jersey system, and II
may not be long before electricity will
be the motive power between Phila.;
tlelphia and New York. Electricity Is
the coming railroad motor. and it will
be largely generated by water power.
There is much valuable water power
unused In New Jersey, and wherever
a plant can be favorably established
for economical production Of electric
ity the railroad engineers will take
advantage Of it. What the railroad
companies are doing in the way Of Sc
curing this power. will be known only
when the power is secured.

KINDNESS.


Human kindness is not confined to
kith and kin or limited to the gener-
osity of the rich. Very much of the
latter is artificial and merely the
price exacted for homage by fawn-
ing public but in the humble walks of
life, among those of moderate means
or even the very poor. is where ma
lures Injured to hardship share their
meagre comforts with others less
favorably situated. These may often
consist only of a kind word or a trif-
ling act but If graciously received
the recognition will act like spring
rain and sunshine upon the violets
struggling thru their bed of loan on
the shady hillside, harbingers OF ma
lures resurrection from the ice locked
tomb Of water.
The ears of the dead are deaf to
human praise and the eyes blind to
the grandeur of funeral pageant
paying homage to the deeds of the
departed. The heart of the living
alone can respond to the electric
spark Of human kindness struck by
contact with kindred spirits in life's
crowded thoroughfare The sustaining
influence of kind acts which might so
easily be rendered the living makes
eulogies of the dead almost a mock

RENTER MAKES s25, 900.

John Fearer's experience as a
farmer has proven that a renter can
make money by paying big rent on
high priced lands. Eleven years
ago he moved on the Bailey farm five
miles northeast of this place after
he had rented the farm of ATS acres
at 1925 an acre. At that time that
was a higher rate per acre than any
other farm in this county rented for
and the knowing ones predicted that
at the end of the three years John
wouldn't have enough left to buy
him meal at a Decent lunch counter.
But they were mistaken. AT the
end of the first three years things
had gone SO well with John that it
was as, easy for him to get credit
when he needed it as it was for his
landlord and the lease on the farm
was renewed and later 1T was re-
newed again until he had put in
eleven years ,on the one place and

STAY THERE.
(Roland Record.l

This week is the regular moving
week for the tenants of Iowa and look
on any road and you will see hun
dreds of loads of farm machinery and
furniture, being hauled to a new home
We do not believe in the continuous
moving. We think that landlords
should rent their farms for terms of
say three or five years, so as to give
the tenants better advantages ana
thereby increase the profits of the farm
from year to year. No tenant can af-
ford to spend the time and labor on a
farm that he expects to work only one
year, while If he knows that he will
stay atleast a few years he will make
arrangements to better that farm and
thereby enchance the value of the farm
and get larger profits for himself and
his landlord.

to put him forward in the others place
