Japanese are staggering under the

After the war with Russia, Japan was

LIMITS OF FREE SPEECH.

Miss Emma Goldman. when inter-
never advocated the murder OF kings or
other rulers But, she said, she believed
In resistance. She thought that people
should resist all the time. Anarchy she
said. was the delightful condition of
living without any sort of government,
without policemen or any other dis
agreeable thing. Every man, she said,
would do the things that he felt like
doing. Lack of government, she said,
would not interfere with great public
enterprises. Criminals would be sent
to hospitals, there would be no prisons,
and the psy-turvy world would jog
on quite merrily, said Miss Goldman, II
anarchists We're given their way.
Now this program, like other imprac-
ticable theories. has some basis in fact
or Appearance; otherwise no sane per-
son would continuously advocate II.
What is the basis, in fact or fancy,
for the belief that the world would be
better off If there were no law at all?
In Bernard Shaw's play, The Doctors
Dilemma, the author has dramatized a
rascally genius. The result has been
that several intelligent and highly sens
tive persons have defended the rascal
on the ground that a genius may prop
erly do things that IL would be wrong for
other people to do. This, as Mr. Shaw
observes, is simply to say that the fac
ultles and mind OF a genius entitle him
| to be dishonest about money and selfish
about women. for the same reaon that
| kingship In an African tribe entities a
man TO kill whom he pleases on the
most trlhtng provocatlon.
MT Shaw has himself posed as 70 sort
of anarchist: but last week when he
spoke at IN anarchist meeting in Lon
don the faithful OF that cult came to
the conclusion that he was using the
name and affecting some of the doe
u1nes Of their society merely in order
to expose them,
BE that as It may, Mr.. Shaw says
he knows no harder practical question
than how much selhshness one ought
20 stand from gifted person for the
sake OF his gifts Or on the chance of
his being right In the long run.
The genius, or superlnan, as Mr. shaw
terms him. must always horrlfy con-
yentional people; for the real genius is
always doing things that entitle him TO
be cruoihod. But il happens that the
genius is always so near to the mass
OF mankind and so much like other peo-
ple-thc difference. in short, between
him and the rest OF MS is so small--that
IL IS difficult to make people believe that
the gifted one is anybody in particular
Gonus, in our day NJ least. Is, as our
London friond puts It, ever one part
genius and 90 parts Tory"
Mr. shaw's conclusion is trenchant
and admirable. lie holds that when
we turn from conduct 10 the expression

cARAvE1s OF COLUMBUS.
Washington Herald.

Two bills have been introduced in
Congress in the past week, both seek
ing an appropriation for the repair
and preservation of the reproductions
OF the caravels In which Columbus
sailed on his voyage resulting in the
discovery of America. These ships
were presented to the United States
by the government of Spain and are
ROW slowly disintegrating in the wa
ters oe the lagoon in Jackson Park,
Chicago. the site of the Columbian Ex-
position. 1t is eminently fitting that
these reminders of the discovery Of
the Western Continent should be pre-
served, but 1t would be much more
to the point IL they should be brought
10 the Capital of the Nation to which
they were presented. Located in the
basin which forms one of the features
of the great Potomac Park in course
Of construction, they would be n never
failing source of interest to the thous-
ands Of visitors to Washington. Chi
cage evidently has not the funds or
does not care to preserve these relics.
Therefore, Congress should, by all
means, make the proposed appropria-
ton and at the same time provide
for having the caravels brought to
Washington.

PECULIAR LOGIC.

And now the Governor is told that It
is useless to make any organized effort
in behalf of the cause of peace on
earth. untl there is no longer any
transgression of laws. That is an
other sample of peculiar logic.
The American Peace society of which
Hon. Robert Treat Paine is the presi-
den; and DR.. Benjamin F. Trueblood
secretary, has done excellent service,
although Massachusetts Is not free
from w-breaking. There are auxili-
aries in Chicago, Minnesota; Kansas,
New York. Ohio and California, and
the promoters OF these societies did
not wait until the respective states
We're free from law breaking.
The peace movement is rolling on,
Notwithstanding the influence of tho
military spirit that is in evidence, and
there is no reason why Utah should
not be in the front ranks of that move
ment. Through the thoughtful efforts
of some prominent ladies of this City
annual meetings in the interest Of
peace have been held and a great
deal of good has been accomplished.
But the peace cause is important
enough TO deserve the united efforts
of the best men and women, and more
than an annual meeting and an oc-
casioal international conference. The
ideal will not be realized until the
work becomes popular The cause OF
peace deserves at least as much earnest

IN MANCuURIA,

According To- reports Japanese papers
are trying 10 create the impression
that the United states is interfering
in Manchura. in behalf of the Chinese.
The question has come up because an
American consul IN one of the cities
on the eastern railroad did not ask the
permission OF Russia, or Japan, to eX-
ercise his consular functions, but recog-
nized the sovereignty of China.
That Is not interfering In Manchu-
rian affairs. The Sovereignty OF China
over Manchuria has been expressly rec
ognized. and was affirmed by both
Russia and Japan by the treaty OF
Portsmouth. This country has no
treaty with either Russia or Japan
which makes amy reference To- consular
service in Mauchura. We have such
a treaty with china and IL would be
am unfriendly act which China would
have the right TO resent, II we should
ask permission OF any other govern
