JAPANESE INFRINGEMENT

The Japanese authorities reached a
sensible conclusion when they decided
to postpone until 1917 the exposition
originally planned to be held at Toxic
In 1912. The government has decided
that the 5000, 900 set aside by the
Diet would not be sufficient to make
the exposition fine enough to show that
Japan is entitled to a place among the
first-class powers no less for its
achievements in the fields of industry,
art and commerce than for its exploits
in war. In addition to financial rea-
son is the further fact hat the EXPOSE
ton business has been overdone of
late and it will require some time to
whet the public appetite for another
serving of that kind of entertainment.
More significant, as indicating the re-
storation of reason in japan, is the
governments decision to reduce the
budget proposed to the Diet by some
thing more than 500, 600, 900, the saw
ing to be made by scaling down the
appropriations for the army and navy.
This is a recognition of the fact that
it costs money to be a world power, and
Of the further fact that the people of
Japan are already tax-burdened almost
to the limit by the terrible drain of
the military and naval expenditures
caused by the wars with China and
Russia. Glory gained in those con-
quests threatened for a time to cause
the Japanese to plan further wars of
aggression, but it appears hat better
judgment has prevailed and the gov
eminent is to adopt a policy of peace
full development of its home business
and allow its people time to recoup
and recover from the effect of their
dearly-bought national greatness. The
new policy will do much to strengthen
Japan's credit and standing with the
financial powers of the world.

A FLAW IN THE ARMoR.

In a current discussion of the abuses
of injunctIons, President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor
makes this assertion:
The injunctions against which we pro-
test are flagrantly and without warrant Of
law issued almost daily in some sections of
our country.
While grossly exaggerated, this state
ment discloses the flaw in the demo-
cratic armor on the injunction bust
ness. If there have been injunction
abuses, and no one denies that there
has not been some abuse, they are not
to be charged up against the republi-
can party, but have been manifested in
all parts of the country. The demo-
Gratis are trying to gain political pres
tige out of their double reading in
junction plank, but they cannot point
to a single honest effort on their part
to stop injunction abuses.
The writ of injunction has been is
sued in labor disputes, not by federal
judges alone, but by state judges as
we'll. The power to correct abuses in
the state courts is vested exclusively
with state officers and lawmakers.
There are states which are distinctively
democratic states, where the legisla-
ton is properly chargeable to the dem
ocratic party and where the execution
of the laws through the courts is like
wise in the hands of democratic judges.
In what states, if any, has legislation
been enacted to regulate the issue of
injunctinons by the judiciary?
The only states which disclose to
careful examination positive action in
this direction are the states Of Cal
ifornia and New York, both of them
republican states acting through re-
publican legislatures. Not a single
state in the south, where the demo-
cratic party has everything it's own
way, has made a move to curtail or
limit the injunction power of the state
courts. In a word, the democrats have
nothing whatever to show as a testi-
monial of good faith on restricting in
junction abuses, although they have
had ample opportunity for practicing
as we'll as for preaching.
If the democrats were on the square
in their professed horror of govern
ment by injunction" they would have
done something long g to stop it
in democratic states, where, as Mr..
Gompers says, injunctions ARE fla
gravity and without warrant of law
issued almost daily"

MAYOR JIM OF OMAHA.

Chicago Examiner: Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha was defeated at the primaries for
the nomination for governor Of Nebraska.
His failure seriously embarrasses Bryan in
his home state, as a party split now is
probable.
Philadelphia Press: Mayor Jim Dahlman
Of Omaha is sending abroad a scare that
the railroads of Nebraska are preparing to
sell out Bryan in his own state. 1t Is par
ticularly dreadful in view of the fact that
Bryan is ready to buy out the railroads
and have the government operate them.
Kansas City Times: The result Of the
democratic primaries in Nebraska is more
significant than the result Of the election
in Vermont. The latter merely indicates
that there is little or no change in Yer
mont since the last presidential year, If it
has an Indication at all as to national
politics. In Nebraska the nominees for
governor is not the man who was supposed
to nave advantage because OF his close
relations with Mr.. Bryan, but one who has
not enjoyed any such political intimacy
with the presidential omine For some
time reports have been coming from Ne
braska that while the state was proud Of
the distinction accruing from the third
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan, and although
republicans as well as democrats partici-
pated in the celebration, Mr.. Bryan was
not winning republican votes. The defeat
of Mayor Dahlman in Tuesdays primaries
is not calculated to add to Mr.. Bryan's
prestige.
