AUSTRALIA FEARS JAPANESE In

head of the Japanese government

the world it may ultimately lead to
aGgressiveness that will precipitate
war. 1t is now Australia that has
practically committed itself to COM

safeguard against a dreaded Japan
csc invasion. The plan is to enroll
all men under forty years of age as
militiamen, compelled to serve six
teen days year in camp, to famil-
iarize them with military forms, and
no secret is made of the fact that
this preparation is in anticipation Of
trouble with Japan, it having leaked
out in speech by Prime Minister
Deaken that the Japanese have been
schoOled in a belief that it was their
destiny for them to acquire Aus
tralia. At present the Anglo-Japan-
csc treaty intervenes to restrain
that ambition, but when it lapses
Australia will have to defend her.

the Philippine group. about 500 miles

THE RESrLT OF A PrRE AND
TEMPERATE LIFE. The capacity of
William Jennings Bryan for physical
endurance is exciting the wonder of
everybody, irrespective of party.
Twelve years of continual speaking,
leaves a wonderful record. His
strength physically, is of course the
tangible basis of his great mental
power. the outward evidence of a
perfect man. 1t is this remarkable
reserve power at his command, that
has made the people of all civilized
nations take off their hats in ac-
acknowledgement of master-mind. 1t
is this that has impelled the masses
to demand his third nomination for
the Presidency, and it is this that
makes his political opponents keep
up q continuous fight against him,
from one general election to another,
for they realize that the party that
is successful with him for standard
bearer, will have re-laid deep and
lasting the foundation for govern
ment as framed by the great minds
Of the past. This result is owing
solely to his exemplary habits through
life. He neither drinks anything
that intoxicates, smokes or chews,
and is regular in all his habits. He
has wonderful propensity for sleep
ing. He can sleep at any time, any
where. and apparently under any
mental or physical condition. He
never allows himself to worry or get
excited, He is a close observer Of
Sunday, and during the stress of q
campaign may travel to his first
weekly appointment on that day,
but almost always continues to de-
vote one day in seven to complete
rest. He generally begins the day
by attendance at church services,
and often preaches-or rather lee
lures on religious subjects-on Sun
day, but it seems to be actually rest
for him to do so, both physically and
mentally.

The Dirrct Primary.

Al over the State, the honest vo
ter. as We'll as the willy politician. is
perplexcd with doubt as to the scope
and intent OF certain provisions of
the direct primary law. At a meet
ing Of the Democratic County Com
mittee, last Saturday, it took two
lawyers, with only partial success, 20
explain points OF legislative intent.
and they did not wholly agree. 1t
AIS decided. however. 10 submit the
m00ted points to the State Commit
tee. soon to meet in Tacoma, in the
hope that if the assembled wisdom is
rot able TO explain just what its
trainers meant, they may agree upon
some construction that will ensure
uniformity of action if nothing more.
The restrictions on press comment
is one of its serious defects. 1t will
have no other effect than to restrict
free and impartial comment upon can
didates and principles. The law is
50 dictatOrial and arbitrary that it
will undoubtedly serve to abridge
that freedom of speech and liberty of
the press guaranteed in both Nation
al and State constitutions. Had
there been previously existing condi-
tons regarding newspaper support
of candidates, party or individual, to
warrant a suspicion of bribery, the
object of such provision and in re-
quiring the predatory caption, " Paid
Advertisement" the matter would
have been bad enough, as general
proposition; but when the newspaper
service has been so generally inspired
by Jealous regard for party principle,
by patriotism, by friendship, and by
all the kindlier and nobler impulses
of the soul, it does seem dictatorial
to require any explanation for acts
that are presumed to be lawful and
prompted by a conscientious dis
charge of the first and highest duty
Of American citizenship.
The personal declaration for Office
is premium upon greed and lust
for Office. 1t requires considerable
cheek" to enable true, self-re-
pectful man to become his own
trumpeter, and relegates to OBJ
security that good old plan of letting
the Office seek the man. The result
is a modified illustration of the old
prcverb about Fools rushing in"
and it may, and has indie ed already
happened in the brief experience had,
that the candidate wanted by the
people and who would have filled the
position with honor is supplanted by
some rapscallion who had the timer
ity to become his own trainer, bottle
holder, umpire and Judge, and was
elected simply because the choice of
the people had been throttled by this
vicious legislation.
The convention system may have
its faults, but they are apparent and
may be in most cases obviated. 1t is
at least understood, and has been
sanctioned by century of good re-
suits, wherein peace and harmony
has been preserved and principle
has triumphed whenever submitted
to the crucial test. 1t may
be too late to say Let we'll enough
alone," but it is time to declare " Let
US return to sane methods.

THE MINISTERIAL TRUsT.-The lat
est fad of all is religious trust.
John D. Rockefeller, it seems, has
hired 1900 preachers to virtually
save the country" but incidentally
to subserve the interests of Standard
oil. John Mcbride, travelling evang.
elist of Tiffin, Ohio, is one of those
subsidized exploiters for the greatest
of all combines. He declares that
the plan of the oil magnate is yet
a secret, and it seems that he, with
others, who have enlisted in that
important matter, are undecided
as to the exact details. Is it any
wonder that the rising generation
enter upon life vicissitudes with
a pre-ordained idea of duty and re-
sponsibility as citizens, when such
wealthy and powerful agencies are
allowed to pollute the current of
popular sentiment at its fountain
head? 1t begins to dawn upon the
popular mind that the system of en-
dorsement of the leading institutions
of learning by the chief magnates of
the trust system, is bending the
twig" in a wrong direction for the
public veal. It seems that almost
anything secular or sacred, can be
controlled by the spirit of avarice
and greed.

Court holds that the license money

PENDANT Arnold Kruger demands the
return of $615 as the amount due on

when license is revoked for unlaw-
full acts of the saloon keeper.

SELF-DENIAL OF ENGLISH SUI
FRAGIsrs.-The zeal of the English

pet-indulgence savings, known as
pin-money by the women and the
tobacco, cigar and beverage funds
by the men, to raise in such sums
of money the means necessary to
continue the campaign. All over

ing themselves luxuries. Four we'll
known lady novelists are devoting

singers devote q part of the pro-
ceeds of their concerts to the cause.
