JAPAN's APPEAL TO AMERICA

Japan appeal to the United States
 for fair treatment for her subjects in
 San Francisco will meet a favorable
 response in this country, says the St.
 Louis Globe-Demoerat. The appeal
 comes through the chambers of com
 meree at their convention at Tokio, and
 is addressed to the president of the
 United States and to the chambers of commerce here. The appeal reeites the historic eordiality between the two countries, lasting over half century. which has just been interrupted by the attacks made on the Japanese residents Of san Francisco and the diserimina- tion made against them in the schools Knowing that the business interests of this country have a special stake in maintaining friendly relations with all the world, the Japanese chambers of commerce address their appeal to the similar bodies in this country. Know. ing also that the president has taken particular interest in the affair which has disturbed the friendly relations be- tween the two countries, they have been free to urge him to continue his work toward securing justice for the Japan csc under the treaties between Japan and the United States.
 Yet it is hard to see how any sort Of an appeal from Japan for fair play for her subjects here can alter the conditions. San Francisco is the spot which has created the trouble, and society and government in that town IS not readily amenable to the inAu- enees which prevail in the rest of the country. San Franciseo's municipal government would be disgrace to the United States if the United States could be said to be responsible for it Tn any way. The party system which prevails elsewhere in the United States. in municipal as well as in all other sorts of government, has been superseded in San Francisco by an amalgamation of the impracticables, implacables and de- structionists, supported by few dream CTS, who have been running the city for several years. These elements, with the expressed intention of setting up a class government, formed a separate party about five years ago, and in the strife between the Republicans and the Democrats they put their ticket, headed by Eugene F.. Schmitz for mayor. into office. Until the law recently seized Schmitz he remained at the head of the city government. Although in prison, he attempts to exercise all the functions of his office. To the extent of their opportunities most of the other mem. bers of the government have bene as corrupt as Schmitz.

Kisses Her Dog to Prove Ownership

Like the judgment of Solomon was the decision of Police Captain o 'Malley today in determining which of two wo- men owned dog.
 "The lady that kisses the dog can have it, ,' he said.
 Miss Lillie Patterson shrank back and said: "I wouldn t kiss the horrid thing" but Mrs. Daniel Raymor, wrest- ing the shaggy terrier from Miss Pat terson s arms, kissed it half dozen times.
 "That settles it." said Captain o 'Malley, after he had been assured by Billy Paterson that the dog belonged to Mrs. Raymor.-St Louis dispatch to the New York World

it. This law favors the rich.
Now, If the secretary would only
permit of IL, we could start in

cent interest, payable semiannuai-
ly. On that 500 certificate we
could issue 500 in currency with
which we could purchase another
500 certificate. Then we could
issue 500 in currency on the GER
tificate, and buy another certifi-
cate, and so on until we had say a
half million dollars in certificates
drawing three per cent, then we
could take the currency issued on
the last certificate and pay back the
money borrowed, and there you are.
We would have $500, 900 bringing

The State Treasury.

General Smith D. Atkins. editor Of
the Freeport Journal has told a racy
tale in the editorial vernacular con-
corning the offer of John r. Tanner IN
1896 to make him a dummy state
treasurer on condition that Tanner and
his man, WhittemOre. should be ALLOW
ed to run the Office and pocket all the
profits except the salary which was a
mere bagatelle by comparison.
Everybody knows. adds the Record
Herald, that the state treasurer's office
is regularly exploited for the beenfit oi
the holder or somebody else, but this
story, bearing all the earmarks of
truth, gives a peculiar vivid insight
into the way such things can some
times be done
The legislature has shown great re-
luctance to pass the bill urged by Gov
ernor Deneen which provides that all
interests on public funds shall be paid
into the state treasury. 1t wants Il
leave that interest money, which
amounts to tens of thousands of dol.
lars every year, as a fund for private
benefit or for political use. For the
present state treasurer, Smulski, is
setting precedent by paying the IN
terest to the state, but his term only
lasts two years. he is not eligible t.
succeed himself, and without legisla
ton his precedent will probably go for
nothing
General Atkins story should make
the legislature see itself as other PEG
pie see it in this respect. 1t should
shame it into passing the pending bill
and all the more because the passage
of this bill will remove one of Gov
ernor Deneen's nine good reasons fo'
a special session.

New York Mail: 1t is matter of
custom rather than of reason that we
should use so much wheat and so little
corn in our daily ration. Practically
all the wheat produced is converted
into food for man. 1t is probable that
not one bushel of corn in fifty raised
in this country goes upon the table.
That is a regrettable anomaly when
we consider that two bushels of corn
can be produced to every bushel of
wheat on a given area and that the ma
tional corn crop is four times the ma.
tional wheat crop.

itorial comments upon the disclosures
made by the report of the state board
of charities on the horrible state OF
affairs in Illinois county aims houses.
The Gate City says:
THE whole thing reads like a chap
ter from the history of the dark ages,
rather than a chronicle of occurrences
in this enlightened century. 1t is a
record of neglect, inhumanity and
crime. In the name and under the cloak
of charity helpless and irresponsible
human beings have been cruelty hob
bled, chained to the floor and confined
in slatcovered boxes with hinges and
locks Unfortunates mentally defec-
tive have been debauched by sane
paupers and others have given birth to
illegitimate children. In some instanc-
es corporal punishment has been in
flicted upon the insane In many cases
it was found that vice and greed. neg.
lect and graft, went hand in hand.
Some of the disclosures seem too awful
for belief, but the report is an official
one, and was made after systematic
and thorough investigation of every
aims house in the state. The high per.
sonnet of the board and the absence OF
any possible motive to misrepresent
conditions are guaranty that the abuses
alleged were practiced exactly as de
scribed in the report.
1T should not be necessary to urge
upon the legislature of Illinois the high
immediate and imperative duty of TAX
ing any and all measures required tC
wipe out at once the disgrace which sc
fOully furnishes the name and history
of the state. The retort may be made
that advice from an outside source is
not desired, but the answer to this is
that humanity knows no state lines
The appeal for prompt and radical &C
| ton should, and we believe will, meet
the response it deserves. Iowa has 9
law providing for state inspection ant
supervision of county aims house:
which has been found to work we'll il
practice. Similar legislation in oul
neiShboring state is needed to carry
out the humanitarian suggestions EN-
| bodied in the report"

Americans Arc Meat Eaters.

The generally accepted opinion that
the BritonS are the champion beef eat
ers of the world is proved erroneous
by statistics recently issued by the
of agriculture, which shows
that, with the exception of the. Aus
tralians, the Americans consume more
beef and other meats per capita than
any other people in the world, doubt
less due to the fact that cattle are
more plentiful in this country than
elsewhere in the world, while the pro-
duction of grain and vegetables is COM
paratively small.
According to the figures of the de
partment of agriculture, the number of
animals slaughtered annually in Amer
lea for food purposes is about $4,000.
900, including 100000 cattle, 5000.
900 calves, 5S,000,00O hogs and $1,000,
900 sheep. Making proper deductions
for the export trade, the per capita
consumption of meat in the United
States is estimated at about 179
pounds. In other words, the average
American consumes more than his
weight in meat every year. The latest
obtainable per capita estimates for var
ious countries are: Australia, 262
pounds; America, 179; Argentina, 40;
Great Britain. 1872; Germany, SO;
France, 81; Denmark, IS; Switzerland
IS; Danubian states, rs; Belgium, 20;
Austria-Hungary, GA; Greece, ga; Swe
den and Norway, 81; Poland, 81: Hol
land. So; Russia, so; Spain, 40; 1t
ally, 81.
Students of dietetics may find ma
terial here for all kinds of deduction:
and speculation, but the best explana
ton to be offered for the showing prob
ably is that the Americans are bette
able to afford meat diet than are tn,
citizens of any other country.
