lalion, are talking more hysterlcally

laiion, are talking more hysterically
than ever.
Certainly the business interests and
the masses Of the peop,e OF this coun-
try are paying no attention whatever
to this talk, and presumably the same
Is the case in Japan. Without stop
ping to reason II out, they know per-
fectly well that wars don't grow out
OF trivial Incidents or mere hot talk,
and that II is only when there is some
fundamental conflict OF important in
terests that there Is danger OF strug-
gle with arms.
The San Francisco disturbances are
not OF kind to cause war. Japan
has right to protest at San Fran
cisco's attitude, and our federal gov
ernment properly concerned itself with
bringing San Francisco back to com,
mon sense. SO far rs that phase OF
the matter goes, IL Is practically a
dead Issue, and even II one or two
more sporadic assaults occur repara-
tion will be made and Japan Will In
the end have nothing seriously to
complain about.
Is there any deep-seuted opposition
between Japan and the United States
sufficient to cause war? The most
important conflict of interests IL COM
mercial. There is a trade war in
siught for the control of the oriental
markets, but the situation is not OF
they kind that can be settled by force
of arms. II will be fought out on trade
lines.
Another conflict will concern the ad-
mission OF Japanese laborers to this
aft Y
pires. Thre is no doubt that the
| United States offers tempting field
| for such laborers. and there Is also
| no doubt that very strong interests
| In this country will object to their i'm
| migration In large numbers. Sup
pose we establish policy OF exclu-
sion, would japan have sufficient mo-
| tive for fighting? 1t Is hardly con
ceivable. What Is conceivable is that
she may adopt retaliatory commercial
measures against us. but that is all.
And even that a matter of several
| years delay.
As for the voyage of our fleet oil
battle ships TO the Pacific coast. there
is a certain Importance to be attach
ed to IL. 1t gives the Japanese jim
goes an ocular demonstration of our
power. 1t is equivalent to shouting
| through u megaphone. Sixteen, count
'em, sixteen" but the lesson Is not
only for the jingoes; the Japanese gov
| ernment knows well enough what our
naval strength is without that. II
the battle ships remain in the Pa
cific that fact will merely denote the
| shifting of the main interest we have
in foreign AFFAIRS from Atlantic to Pa
| ciic waters.
We have no motive to fight. Japan
| has no motive to fight. If Japan had
| u motive 1t would have sense enough
| to refrain because of lack of funds
The best thing our jingoes can do is
| to back ice on their heads till the
cool weather -Record-lierald

REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS
Tn THE PHILIPPINES.

On the goth of this month the Fill
pinos will elect house OF represen-
tatives. Americans have for some
years looked forward to this great
step toward self-government as an
event OF world politics. All students
Of colonial government have dscuss-
ed II. and some solemn Britons have
lectured America, apropos of this mo-
mentous affair, on their idealism and
overconfidence. And what have the
little brown wards been thinking and
saying about 1t all this time?
The registration for the coming elec-
tion closed last week. In spite of
ample notice. brass bands. bontires
and meetings, the results seemed ex-
ceedingly meager. In Manila some
1900 persons, including 500 Americans,
registered, out of population Of 220.,
900. The insular registration as a
whole may reach "a 900. out of civil
lied population OF 100000, as as
certained by an American census. In
other words, ii Is gravely pointed out.
only about one native out of 130 will
be entitled to vote on election day.
What does this apathy signify?
or course, some of the anti-imperial-
sists have ready explanation. The
natives want independence, or at least
a definite explicit promise of II. and
the national assembly has no value In
their eyes, since the appoIntive up
per council will have the power to
veto and annul any or all of the meas
ures OF the popular and elective body.
On the other hand the former annexa-
tlonists-atany-cost see In the small
registration evidence OF native ignor-
ance, unfitness and Indifference to self
government, and are tempted to in
dulge In "We-iold-you-so exclamations.
Neither side knows or inquiries how
many qualified electors there are In
the islands.
II is fortunately unnecessary TO de
termine the exact amount of truth that
Is contained In either theory. The elec-
tions will be held and the education
OF the Filipinos will proceed. The
act which provided for limited insular
autonomy was conservative one. and
the experience 1t will give the natives
will not be without profit to them.
No American regrets the legislation.
and some will charitably remember
that there are stay-at-homes right here
in their midst. and that even a com
pulsory suffrage act did not prevent
&c. 900 voters In lower Austria from
to cast their ballots in the
nrst election under universal suffrage.
And II the Philippine electorate may
De set down as 10000, as one CORE
'pondent does. then the registration

cANADA's GROWTH AND OUR IN
TEREST IN 1T.

The population OF Canada made but
a small gain In the decade 1S91-1901,
and II was not until 1908 that the I'm
migration figures came to be very sig
nificRnt. In 1900 the returns were
$4,000, and the range for a period
of five or six years ending with 1901
was from $4,000 to $4,000. In 1902.
however, there was an increase to
G7,379, and in 1903 jump to 2S,364,
since which time there have been
further increases.
One of our consuls writes now that
In the prairie provinces alone the pop
ulation has reached 100000 in 1906,
having more than doubled in five
years. OF course. the principal in
ducements for immigration have come
from that section, and no doubt they
have caused some shifting within Can
ada itself. But the whole country ap-
pears to be in prosperous condition
There has been large increase in
investments of all kinds and a not
able expansion in the manufacturing
business. The consul says: Fifteen
thousand manufacturing establish
ments with 100000 employees are turn
ing out products valued at nearly
$4S6,000,000. The textile industry is
represented by 26 cotton mills with
600, 900 spindles. and 300 woolen mills:
rs mills are producing wood pulp and
paper with excellent prospects of fur
ther expansion. There is an excellent
and growing export trade In furniture
and musical Instruments, and boots
and shoes are being largely produced
In the province OF Quebec, and fast
riyaling in quality and style the Amer
lean product. The beet sugar industry
is being successfully established in
the west"
There are reports of the establish
ment OF brass-making plant at Win
nipeg, of zinc smelter at Kingston
and OF the location of the works of
lead manufacturing company in the
latter city. Inevitably this building
up of new indutries means competition
with countries which send exports to
the Dominion, but 80 far the United
States has profited greatly by the
demand for goods that has resulted
from the growth OF Canada. and an in
creased consumption of articles from
this country is predicted. An excep-
tion is made only In the case of shoes.
nlpeg, the cheaper grades OF Ameri-
can shoes have been forced out OF the
r.arket. The Canadian manufacturer
has been n successful competitor In
this line. Offering a value impossible
of competition" This, II Is said, Is
due to 20 per cent duty and to the
fact that the Canadian customs re-
qnires an invoice to show the selling
price OF similar goods In America and
levies the tarifY accordingly" I'm.
der this regulation the American man
hfacturer cannot sell cheaper In Car
ada than he does In America.
But, generally speaking. both the in
tease OF population and the Increase
,f business mean u gain In trade for
IBIS country. A wilderness In the far
northwest was worth nothing to us
civilized community with many
wants makes In all respects n dcsir-
