Japanese Exposition.


 The Japanese government has post poned until 1917 the date of the great international exposition. the action being taken so as to insure ample time in which to prepare to make the exposition all that it should be made. The American commissioners have visited Japan and the postponement will merely give ampler opportunity for America to be represented at the exposition. Not since the first inter national exposition has there been one of greater importance than this will be, marking as it does the fir tieth anniversary of the as tension to the throne of the emperor of Japan. The extraordinary leap to a foremost place among the nations of the world made by Japan during this half century is something unparalleled in all previous history. This exposition will fitly commence rate and signalize the giant progress that has been achieved. It is the first exposition of its kind that has ever been held in Asia. The United States, because of the ancient friend ship between the two peoples, be- cause each of us fronts on the Pa cific, and because of the growing commercial relations between this country and Asia, takes a peculiar interest in seeing the exposition made a success in every way.
 I take this opportunity to publicly state my appreciation of the way in which in Japan, in Australia, in New Zealand and in all the states of South America, the battle fleet has been received on its practice voyage around the world. The Anerican government can not too strongly ex press it's appreciation of the abound

Notice to Candidates
and Their Friends

Although The Journal has endeav-
ored to make it PLAIN and unmistak,
able that all political advertising must
be paid for in advance, it has already
been necessary to offend a few of its
friends by insisting on the rule.
Every man who has an ad of a politi-
cal nature believes that he is an ex-
ception to the rule, and invariably be-
comes offended if asked to pay in ad-
vance
II is necessary, therefore, for us to
state again that there will be no ex-
ception to the rule. We will insist on
cash in advance, no matter who you
are. and our friends will oblise us by
not asking us to violate this rule.

increase in the valuation of the com
pany's property in 1905 from $500
per mile to $4,000 a mile.
In settlement of the two proposi-
tions. Mr.. Morrow offers the county 6
per cent interest on the 1905 taxes for
two years. This amount is S25.294.52.
Interest on the 1906 tax at 115 per cent

MUST REFUND
POLL TAX MONEY
COUNTY COLLECTS TAXES UN-
DER OLD LAW WHICH HAS
BEEN REPEALED.

Two hundred and four dollars. col
lected by the county as poll tax since
the first of the month, will have to be
paid back into the pockets of the farm
ers VINO have handed it in. The law
before last year provided for the coll
iecling of 81 poll tax but it was re-
pealed at the last session of the legis
lature and ceased to be in effect the
first Monday in January of this year
The Law. which is known as Section
l of Chapter 156 of the session laws of
1905, leads as follows: Every male
inhabitant of the state between the
ages of y and so. outside the limits
Of an incorporated city or town shall
arually pay road Poll tax of 50
which snail be due and payable in
money with any exception Whatsoever
on the first Monday in March in each
year"
The repeal passed at the last session

OF Chapter 156 of the Session Laws of
1905 .......... be and are hereby re-
nealed, .............. same to take eff
feet the first Monday in January of
1865"
When the assessment was levied this
year the poll tax was included as usual
anG many farmers have been prompt in
paying their tax. 1t II Nas discovered
yesterday however. that the law had
been repealed and that this tax could
no longer be legally collected 1t is
probable that the treasurer will refuse
to accept any more! taxes of this kind
and the county commissioners will
in all probability order the money TO be
refunded.

MEN BE REINSTATED.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. March
2O-The student affairs committee to-
day refused TO reinstate the Il men
suspended by the student affairs COM

This action brings the situation at
Stanford to an acute crisis Three
hundred students yesterday signed a
statement that they We're equally cul-
pable with the II and that if the sus

would walk out.
Yesterday afternoon the entire stu

apOlogizing for the demonstration and
petitiOning that the men suspended be
allowed to come back.
The action of the committee is con-
