Count 0kuma Says This Coun-
try Is Working for Con-
troll of the Pacific.
CALLS AMERICA JEALOUS.
CLAIMS THAT THIS COUNTRY
FEARS THE LEADING ONE OF
THE PAclFic-WAR's RESULT
SPEcUlATED ON.

Tokyo. Aug 12.-Count Okuma con-
tributes a series Of articles to the
Hochi, discussing Japan's world posi-
ton. In one OF them he says:
I'VE do not know what the meaning
of the expansion of the American navy
is, but from the speeches OF Mr.
Roosevelt we gather that 1t is aimed
against Japan. America is striving
to control the Pacific
II do not dare to say that the send.
ing of the Pacific squadron into the
East means the expulsion of the Jap.
anese, but there is no doubt that the
latter is the chief motive for Ameri.
cas- action.
The rise OF Japan has caused
America to entertain the intention to
acquire control Of the Pacific. Ameri.
cas- Pacific coast is unfortified, hence
again 1t is very nervous about the
new rising nation. which is thought to
be an invading race. It thought Japan
would usurp the markets of China and
drive Americans and Europeans from
Asia.
American public opinion regards
Japan as Americas rival, and there.
fore a powerful navy must be con.
structed against the rising sun, but
doubt II this policy against Japan will
continue. since the American Govern
ment follows public opinion, which Ia
likely to change with better light on
the real attitude Of Japan.
America has no enemy at present
and 1t will be a thoughtless policy FOL
America purposely to make an enemy
by infiaming the public opinion OF
Japan. The United States is the
wealthiest country in the world, but
1T has not sufficient defense in the
| Pacific.
'If the two nations are &c come II
hostilities, nothing could be more
| dreadful. In that case crazy persons
and the Japanese are crazy natior
in fighting, will display the sam'
madness as was shown in the lat,
war.
The Japanese are always ready t.
throw away their lives for the nation
They regard their lives as light as
water. On the other hand American
| and Europeans attacn the cnieI III
portance to money-and those who
love money love their lives.
Suppose, therefore, that two ma
tions whose ideas toward death ar
fundamentally different are to fight
the final result is easily seen.
"The understanding of this fac
seems to be the cause of America
| irving tn expand her navy on a grea
scale"

REFUSES TO PROSECUTE
LAD FROM TENNESSEE
Charge Against Him Could
Not Be Substantiated.

Carrying a razor without any handle
and in box. because he wanted to
have it repaired, as he said. does not
constitute carrying concealed weap-
ons. according to Prosecutor Jessup.
The states attorney refused to file
an affidavit against Luther Sanders
on this charge and the young man was
released today. Sanders claims his
home is in Tennessee. He was ar
rested on suspicion, and the razor
found when searched. He appears as
an unsophisticated country youth.

COUNTY WILL VOTF DRY.
Both Fl Dorado Papers are Excited Where
 There is no Danger.

The common sense of the voters of Union count and the influence and money being spent by the saloon interests of Camden and Monroe will prevent this county from joining the wet column at the election next Monday.
 The Union County Tribune and Fl Dorado Times are both upduly excited over the outcome and printed articles over two columns in length urging the voters to vote against license as there could be no saloons in Fl Dorado and if a saloon was established in any other town it might help it to the detri- ment of their town.
 The vote at the 1906 election was ZZO for and 11z2 against li- Cense, every township in the coun- ty voting against license except Lapile and Smaekover, where the majority for was only 15z votes.
 There are five incorporated towns in the county. being Fl Do rado, Huttig, Junction City, Strong and Felsenthal. each being voting precinct, with the exception of Eel seminal which votes here.
 This township always has voted wet. but not enough to overcome the large majority of dry votes throughout the county, and we predict much smaller majority at this election than heretofore.
 The prohibition sentiment is stronger and the Camden and Mon roe liquor interests are working harder than ever to keep Union county in the dry column for their personal benefit.
 The News would like to see the day when there would be a federal law preventing the shipment of liquor into dry territory or the is suance of a government license in the same. This would keep our money at home and put the gov ernment agents after the blind tiger man as we'll as the local a Ithorities and prohibition under these conditions could be made to prohibit
 Union county is going dry nl we hope the citizens of Laple town ship will vote with the certain ma jority to make it as nearly unani- nous as possible on next Monday

VOTERS ATTENTION.
IL Is the Duty of Every Democrat to Vote at
 the State Election Next Monday.
To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:
 September 4th will be the day and hour of Democracy need. and every loyal Democrat should be up and doing.
 The great battle that is now on is not for the Presidency alone, but for the right, if not the liberties of the people.
 Never before in the history of our cour try has the results of an election been fraught with so much danger to the people. The coun- try needs the Democratic party as never before, and the party needs every stalwart son.
 Arkansas is among the States holding State elections prior to November, and the results in our State is being watched with the deepest inte est. If our majority here is reduced the enemy will use that fact with telling effect against us. and it will have a tendency to discourage our fellow Democrats in the doubtful states, who are making such brave fight for our mutual rights.
 Furthermore. the basis of repre- sentation in the various counties in the State convention two years hence will be fixed by the vote of our candidate for governor, and if each county is to have the repre- sentation of which it's numbers rightfully entitle it, it must cast every vote possible. But we have other and greater incentives. Our cause was never more just or in spring, or hope of victory better founded.
 That peerless leader. William J. Bryan. is making the most magnifi- cent fight for the restoration of the peoples rights that the world has ever witnessed.
 
 And in the election of our can didate for governor, George w.. Donaghey, Arkansas is going to have a united Democracy. devoid of the faotional feeling of partisan ship with which 1t has suffered in the past. The state will have at his hands business administration

BRADSHAW CASE CO.'S OVER.
Sanity of Man. Who, It Is Alleged. Slew His
 Daughter, is Questioned.

The defendants attorneys in the Bradshaw murder case transferred from this county to Magnolia for trial. in which he is charged with killing his daughter. succeeded in obtaining an order from the court appointing a commission of five ex- perts, four from Union county and one, Dr. c. D. Steven. of Magnolia, to examine and report on the pres ent mental condition of the ac- cused.
 The theory advanced by the de- fendant's attorneys is that insanity can be traced back to the third generation of his ancestors, and that the law of heredty, written 5000 years ago by Moses" is in full force and effect, l. e.. that the sins of the parent should be visited upon the sons of the third genera tion. To prove this the mother of the accused was introduced as the star witness, who testified to lapses of memory and queer actions on the part of the father Cher hus- band and the grand father. The brothers. rather on the stalwart order and above the average as to mentality, confirmed their mothers statement in their testimony
 The theory advanced by the State. and ably maintained by her attorney, is to the effect that pas sions had had ungoverned sway. long excited and inhamed by life abandoned to intoxioants and de- bauching, had produced their legit- innate fruit, that if mental unbal- ance was apparent at all. and that was questionable, it was due to these causes.
 Upon the whole. it is hotly con- tested legal battle with the logic. apparently. on the side of the State and the advantages on the side of the defense.
 The case will not come up for trial until the February term of court as the jury chosen to render verdict as to his sanity were un- able to agree. after deliberating for three days and have been dis charged.
