America, the country which has been friendly in times of war as we'll as in times of peace, is honored and respected by the people of the island empire, says a writer in the Engi- neering Magazine. ''I cannot say what tangible effect this feeling has on ordinary business transactions. It is very likely that the Japanese will buy from Americans provided the latter can offer their goods at no higher price than their European competitors. In the importation of machinery the United States is gain ing much faster than other coun- tries. From the general trend of the past few years, feel that I am justified in saying that in 1906 and 1907 America must have been ahead of Great Britain. In the importation of bars, plates, rods, etc, the latter is leading, closely followed by Bel gium. It is a strange fact that American manufacturers have not exported these articles. except nails, whose yearly importation usually amounts to over a million yen. ' can see no reason why Americans have been so inactive in this line. At any rate it does not seem to be a very hard task for the manufactur- CTS of the United States to take the bulk of the business in this market into their own hands if they try IL with their characteristic push"

Since the census bureau has been made a permanent institution cost ing millions every year, and for which $14, 100000 is asked to take the next census, it has become most partisan institution. It is charged by the Associated Press and the American Newspaper Publishers association at their late annual meeting with issuing false reports of news print paper prices which
 were recently furnished to congress
 by the directors of the census bu- reau. The newspapers here repre- scented used approximately 80 per cent of the news print paper con sumed in the United States. We de- nounce the quotations as submitted to congress as misleading and un- worthy of credence. The reiteration of the accuracy of these figures of the director after the error had been called to public attention tends to shake public confidence and respect for statistics thus compiled" It is rather satisfaction to have the charge of partisan statistics made by democrats substantiated by such high authority, but it is rather late in the day for such an acknowledg- ment by republican publishers whose papers have derided the democratic claim The fact is that not only the census bureau, says a Washington writer, but the statistical bureaus of other departments have all been run in the interest of the tariff protected interests, and the false reports now charged against the census bu- reau can be also proved against the labor bureau and the statistical bu- reau of the department of commerce and labor. It is quite doubtful if there has ever been an honest cen suS, but it is certain that the statis- tics adduced from the material gathered have been systematically arranged to support the theory and practice of the protective tariff. Dishonest and garbled statistics is sued by government authority for partisan purposes to deceive the peo- pie is the greatest crime that can be committed against the taxpayers why pay the bills. One of the first reforms that the democratic party l should undertake, if granted power i by the voters, is to reorganize the | issue of statistics by the govern ment. Let us have an honest cen sus and honest statistics by the gov ernment founded thereon, and we call on our honest republican breth- ren to join in urging it on congress.

Senator Hales recent comment on "the frequent, protracted and un- necessary absence of Secretary Taft from his post of duty" and demo- cratic criticisms of the secretary for his absence from his post on cam paign missions, have had their ef- feet at last, and it is said that Taft will resign. Why shouldn't he? Why should he draw large salary while canvassing in his private in- terest? Isn't it dishonest, and un- worthy of public servant? Isn't it on a par with common grating?

It was in 1882 that the two-thirds rule was adopted. at the democratic . national convention at Baltimore, the first national convention of the party. when Andrew Jackson was
 for the second time nominated for president. Martin Van Buren was nominated for 1ce-president and it
 was upon his suggestion that the
 rule was adopted. Tn 1S36, 1s4O and 1894 the rule was reaffrmed,
 and has since 1s4i been invariably regarded as one of the binding laws of the democratic party. The ruIa

KEEP CATTLE AT HOME

In the ninth judicial circuit of the
United States court of appeals in San
Francisco, Il decision was recently
handed down which is important to all
cattlcmen of the west. 1t is to the cf-
feet that cattle must be kept off the
government forest reserves even when
they are not fenced.
Three years ago Thomas Shannon
permitted his cattle to roam over the
Little Belt forest reserve in Montana.
Suit was brought against him, March
Is, 1907 before Judge Hunt in the
United States circuit court, for that
state. The result was an injunction re-
str;lining Shannon from permitting his
cattle to roam over the reserve.
Montana has Il fence law under which
the landowners must fence their land
before they can obtain redress from
the courts from stoclSmen whose cattle,
range upon and injure the private
lands.
Shannons counsel argued that this
state law would apply as against the
United States, but Judge Hunt held
that tho power of congress over the
public lands, including the forest re-
serves, is complete; that congress has
delegated to the secretary of agriculture
power to make regulations to protect
the forests; that the secretary had
properly made II regulation that cattle
must not range over the forest reserves
without permit; and that consequently
Shannon was II trcSpasscr when he per-
mittcd his cattle to range over the
Little Belt reserve even though it were
not fenced,
Shannon appealed from this decision.
The case was taken to the United States
circuit court of appeals in San Francisco
and that court has just affirmed Judge
Hunts decision.
In view of the amount of work the
government is doing in the way of es-
tabishing, maintaining and improving
ihe forest reserves. this decision is of
deep interest. Ogden journal
