JAPAN AND OUR FUTURE.
French Writer Discusses the SmoIder

That diplomacy has failed to effect

porary relief to the strained relations
between Japan and the United States
is once more asserted abroad. Andre
Tardieu of France, student Of interna
tional politics, is the most recent to
give voice to the belief that Japan and
America are tending inevitably to an
armed struggle. The present attitude
of the two countries he characterizes
as little more than makeshift, SUI.

unsettled issues of immigration and
OF dominance in the Pacific, smoldev

barrier to permanent peace.
NJ. Tardieu emphasizes the improb
ability of speedy war-and dwells
upon the probability of a future con
llict. He looks into the future and
declares that:
AS the Japanese have changed
their industrial life so they may also
change their political conditions, and
to carry the day against the counsels
of the elder statesmen When the
population of Japan, progressing co

opened by the wars with China and
Russia, may it not covet Hawaii and
the Philippines as it coveted Formcsa
and Korea?"
When such time comes-if come IL

sees will burst; but will that time
come? Peace gains with every year.
In the years which must elapse before

predicts, may not the influences which
have brought about The Hague meet

civilized nations as to force japan tc

So far as the American republic is

SAYS 1T is INSOLVENT.
New York's Attorney General Will
Ask that a Receiver be Appointed
for Life Insurance Company

New York City - State Attorney
General Jackson announced Friday
that he has decided to ask for the APP
pointment of a receiver for the Mu-
tual Reserve Life Insurance Co.
Attorney General Jackson said his
decision to ask for a receiver was
based on the report of Superintendent
of Insurance Kelsey, who contended
that the company is insolvent, with
deficit of $1,717,l14.
The company has $4,000 policyhold-
ers, some of whom formed a commit
tee to secure the dissolution of the
company and distribution of its assets.
Following the legislative insurance
investigation several officers of the
company were indicted on charges of
larceny of the funds of the company,
and of forgery
Albany, n. Y. = Superintendent
Kelsey, of the state insurance
department, gave out last night the
report of the department examiners,
Nelson b. Hadley and Charles
Hughes, upon the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Co., together with
statement, in part as follows:
THE Mutual Reserve Fund Life AS
sociation from it's organization in 1881
down to 1902, was an assessment as
sociation. In 1902 it reorganized as
an old line level premium company
and changed its name to the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance Co."
The examiners also say: 1--WE
found the last annual statement was
both false and misleading"

Advocates Tariff Commission.

If congress had an unimpeachable
authority to provide it with facts con-
corning Industrial conditions and tar
iff needs, and if the reports of this
authority were available to the public
generally, so that every citizen could
have good test as to whether the
congressman were doing thier duty or
descending to log-rolling, then it would
be much more probable that we could
get a tariff law that would be inher
emily fair and consequently proof
against criticism. 1t is with this OH
1ect that Senator Beveridge has in
troduced bill for the creation of an
expert commission to investigate facts
and to certify facts to congress.

ARMY'S GOOD WORK
COUNTRY HAS REASON TO BE
PROUD OF ITS SOLDIERS.
Arduous Duties in the Philippines Per-
formed Faithfully and Weli-De-
veIopment of Filipino Force Has
Turned Out Well.

There is a touch of pride in that part
of Secretary Taft's report on Philip
pine conditions in which he recounts
the work of the United States army.
He has been one of the strongest advo-
Gates of an effective fighting force.
He has urged plans of many kinds for
keeping the army in first-class condi-
ton. He believes that the record of
its achievements in the islands should
cupation is reviewed.
The army seldom is brought to the
attention of the ordinary American
citizen. He sees it on parade occa-
sions or at military posts if he ever
gets near one. 1t is hard for him to
why, in time of peace, there is need
for such an organization. But when
the transformation of the country into
a world power with dependencies is
recalled the possible service of sol
diers is better indicated. In the Phil
the army has been one of the most ef-
fective of the agencies which have
brought order out of confusion
1t has to contend with bands of
guerrillas scattered through the
islands. Sometimes there have been
500 distinct posts with a maximum of
$4,000 men attached to them. The
work has been anything but pleasant.
But its success proclaims its effective
ness. 1t is a notable feature of this
service, too, that the American sol
diers exhibited toward the natives a
far better feeling than might have
been expected considering the charac-
ter of the warfare.
The development of an American
force composed of Filipinos has been
encouraged. 1t has appealed to the
military instinct of the people and has
proved helpful mechanism in the
general scheme of government. The
suggestion of the secretary about
West Point training for a few of the
natives is good one. Under govern
ment encouragement a large number
of Filipino boys have been given the
advantages Of American schools. The
colleges and universities have been
generous in giving free tuition and
other help to them. Just why the gov
ernment schools should not share in
this work does not appear.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Percentage of Idle Machinery in Man
ufacturins Plants Decreases.

New York City-R. G. Dun CO. g
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Industrial plants steadily decrease
the percentage of idle machinery, es-
pecially in the steel business, which
increases the size of pay rolls and by
raising the purchasing power of the
wage Garner improves retail trade
Thus far progress is slow in whole
sale and jobbing departments, but as
retail stocks are depleted there is
more disposition to place orders for
spring goods. Reports are still irregu-
lar, some sections of the country re-
covering much more rapidly than
others, and few interior cities record
business even better than at this time
last year.

New Method of Resuscitation

A simple method for resuscitation
from asphyxia is reported by DR.. w.
Freundenthal of Berlin. He intro
duced the index finger into the mouth
and moved it to and fro over the
epiglottis, causing an effort to swal-
low, which was Immediately followed
by return of respiration. This proved
successful when the older methods
failed, while it makes severe traction
on the tongue unnecessary.

The Last Time They Reformed IL.

The last time the Democrats re-
formed the tariff is so comparatively
recent that men still young have a
vivid recollection of it, and those who
were not old enough to realize the dis.
asters of the Wilson bill as a personal
experience. have learned of it as bit
ter tradition. Whatever sentiment
there may be for tariff reform, it is
safe to say there is not much demand
for tariff revision at the hands of the
Democratic party.
Gov. Johnson argues that because
the Democracy has won twice in so
years on a tariff reform platform, it
can do so again this year. The logic
of the situation is the other way
about. A burnt child breads the fire

In the recollections of a well-known

that after skinning a tiger it is al

as the natives have an unpleasant
habit of cutting them up very small
and mixing them with the curry of
those they dislike, The finely divided
bristles set up an irritant poison, the
