CONGRATULATES
j. s. ON VISIT
JAPANESE PAPER REFERS TO-
THE AMITY EXISTING BETWEEN
THE TWO COUNTRIES.

TOXIC, Japan, July 6.-The Koku-
min Shimbun heartily congratulates
Japan upon the Forthcoming visit Of
The American battleship squadron and
upon recent diplomatic events 1t says
that these, even if taken singly, would
prove the falsity of the wild rumors
recently set afoat. Japan and Amer
lea, the paper maintains have never
disagreed as to the necessity of main
tanning the peace and welfare of each
country and of faithfully and mutually
respecting their territorial rights and
interests.
Because of americas traditional pol
ity with respect to Japan it is most
apparent, continues the editorial, that
the visiting fleet is itself a messenger
of peace and that its sojourn in Japa-
nese waters will be a powerful re-
hinder of the ever-in-creasing friend
ship of the two countries 1t men,
tions with appreciation America s
prompt consent to the exhibition in
TOXIC and it's willingness to appro-
pirate large sum for participation in
the fair.
/ The Kokumin 5himbun further
points out that America led the pow
ers in opening Japan to the world and
that recently it has concluded COM
mercial, arbitration and trade mark
treaties with this country. These
facts, it maintains, establish Ameri-
co-Japanese relations on a permanent
basis, as they virtually constitute an
unwritten alliance.

RUSSIAN JEW THE SENIOR
WRANGLER

For the first time in the history of
the University of Cambridge the Sc
Nor wranglership has been carried of
by a student who is a foreigner,
Russian and a Jew Mr.. Brodetsky,
who has been bracketed senior wrang-
Ter along with Mr.. Ibbotson belongs to
a Russian family driven out of that
country owing to the persecution OF
the Jews. His father lives in Mile End
in the east of London, and Brodetsky
received his entire education in this
country at Jewish schools until he
went to Cambridge. It is true that in
the struggle for the senior wrangler-
ship Mr.. Ibbotson of Birmingham and
he are equal. but Mr. BrOdetsky has
achieved a very remarkable feat by
attaining this position after only two
years residence at Cambridge. He en-
tered Trinity College in October, 1906,
while Mr. Ibbotson and nearly all the
other competitors for the distinction,
vent to the university a year earlie-.
Mr.. Brodetskys success is, therefore,
a very striking one, and has only been
approached in recent years by Prof.
Jeans of Princeton University, Amer
lea, who, after only two years resi-
dencc. was placed as second wrangler.

STORIES ABOUT WORDS.

1T is time" observes a writer in
the London Chronicle, that the term
suffragette was abandoned, as the suf-
fragist movement has taken it's serious
place in politics The word is not
worth preserving. 1t is used as a term
of reproach and does not enrich the
language. Women do not want the
vote in order to maintain a distinc-
ton, but in order to obliterate it. They
want to be suffragists and citizens Just
as men are. Therefore, we have no
place for such a mongrel word as 'suf-
fragette' in our political vocabulary.
The latest addition to political termin-
ology is more useful. 1t is platfor-
mula.' 1t was invented by John M.
Robertson, M. p, and is intended to
describe something rather indefinite in

At The Methodist Chuch

On Sunday Rev. =. A. Smith began
his series Of sermons on LIES Way, the
subject for the morning being the part
ing of the Ways" and text was found in
Genesis 1871, "Then Lot chose him
all the plain of Jordan; and Lot jour
neyed east; and they separated them
selves the one from the other" After
mentioning some important partings of
the ways, in which we have no choice,
and speaking of their effect on the jour
ney of life and its end, Mr.. Smith stated
that the most important parting is not
from home, parents, brothers and sis
tiers, and friends, but from the self -
parting of the ways in which choice is
made of the direction in which life's
forces shall tend, and the nature and
quality of the material that enters into
the building of a character. He showed
the unwisdom of choosing lifes way
from Il consideration of worldly profit
alone, or from pleasure and popularity
alone. After pointing out the danger of
DSiuS liiSiSN Wy lhtOA
in the wrong direction, and the undesir-
able results, he mentioned some reliable
guideposts to be found at every parting
of the ways, such as the advice of tried
and true people, the experience of the
aged that the old settlers know this
world best = the Bible and Bible H.
lumined conscience - let God direct SO
find the best by the way and the best at
the end.
1t may be Judged from this excellent
sermon, which was introductory to the
series that some of the most helpful SER
mons of the year are in store for Mr..
Smiths people. The musical part of
the service was augmented by baritone
solo, Face to Face" sung effectively

Has Set An xampIe
Montpelier Argus

Montpelier Argus
The town of Morristown has set an ex-
ample that other towns in the State
might well follow. 1t has taken hold of
the Lister problem and will endeavor to
see if it cannot during the coming year
have lists that will not only be legal and
complete, but will represent something
besides time and money spent on them.
When such busy men as Judge H. H.
Powers, counsel for the Rutland Rail
road, former Supreme court Judge
and congressman, accepts position on
the board, and will try to systematic
the work, it shows a commendable spirit,
and one that cannot fail to result in
much good, and which ought to be fol-
lowed by other capable citizens. The
commission investigating the question of
double taxation found the inventories
everywhere in deplorable shape, in fact
they were so bad that there is some cues
ton whether they will be of any great
material value. The findings of this
commission ought to be based on abso-
lutte facts, but when the investigators in
going over the listers books find them
so inaccurate that they have to produce
figures to make both ends jibe, it natur-
ally gives shaky foundation to work on.
On the other hand their books should be
of incalculable value. As rule towns
do not give the attention to the choice of
Listers that they should, and also men
capable of filling these offices are unwil-
ling to serve. Oftimes their selection is
left to within and spite. Listers who try
to disturb real estate valuations also
bring down on their heads the wrath of
certain property owners, which does not
tend to make the job enviable. There
are many people in the State who think
the solution will come in the authorize
ton by the Legislature of a Commits
sioner of Tax Inventories as there is
to-day Commissioner of State Taxes.

Fraudulent Votes.

It il unfortunate that Chairman FINCH
Of the Republican county committees
special committee on election frauds did
not make public the data on which he
bases his estimate that $4,000 fraudu-
lent votes are cast in New York county
at every election. In 1905 the vote OF
Manhattan and The Bronx for six can
didates for Mayor was 279,7S9. To de-
clare that 10 per cent. Of these votes was
cast in violation Of the law and TO with
hold the evidence on which this conclu-
sion is founded is not convincing.
Three powerful departments Of gov
ernment are charged now with the duty
Of protecting the ballot boxes. These
are the police, the State Superintendent
Of Elections, and the election officers.
If it be asserted that the police work for
Tammany it must be admitted that the
Superintendent of Elections has Repub-
ican success at heart and the election
boards are bipartisan. The election
laws are the creation Of Republican
statesmanship, yet this subcommittee
apparently does not believe the State to
be capable Of insurinG clean elections, for
it hopes for a time when a private So
ciety shall be subsidized by the State to
perform this elemental and overshadOw-
ingly important duty.
To this suggestion the natural answer
is that State so weak and ineffective
as to be unable to keep its ballot boxes
clean is not worth preserving. Ger
tainly it is not worth saving if a private
society is necessary to do the job. How
ever, the dissolution of the State is not
present danger. The father of the
Finch committee began TO shout thief
long before his ticket was overwhelmed
at the polls last fall, and the committee
report is likely TO be accepted by the
public in the light Of justification of his
disastrous alliance with the Independence
League rather than as a serious con-
tribution TO political knowledge.
