THE NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN

THE NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN
The sticking point with Japan, il
the negotiation OF a new treaty, hal
been the fact that we want a clause
prohibiting the influx Of japanese
laborers into this country. This hurts
the pride OF the brown man, who
wants to be considered the equal Of
his white neighbor.
American diplomats seem to have
solved the problem, by adding to the
Objectionable clause a few words af
fecting the labor OF each nation.
There shall b no influx Of Japanese
laboring men into this country, and
similarly, there shall be no influx Of
American laborers into Japan. All OF
which is just, because it operates in
one case exactly as 1t does in the
other.
On the surface. this seems to settle
the matter. AS a matter of fact, 1t
has already been settled, for the jap.
anese council of state regulates the
rate at which laborers shall pass out
OF the land Of Nippon, for the large
number of people who were leaving
Japanese shores alarmed the govern
ment. II it continued, serious inroads
would be made, not only on the popula-
ton Of the island, but the revenues,
for at home these men paid taxes, and
aided in sustaining the government
abroad they had no ties, and did not
contribute to the support of the state.
So the new treaty will apply, as we
e it, simply as balm to the sensitive
Jap. The United States will 20 on
in it's way, and the brown men in
theirs.
Each will maintain an open policy
to the Orient, and keep his foot
against his own door. <
All OF which goes to show that while
we may fool some OF the people some
OF the time, we a fool ourselves all
OF the time.

JAPAN ENTERS INTO EUROPEAN

Having assured the people OF the

goes Of the old world. THE little
brown diplomats have tossed q bomb
shell. automatically. into the Balkan
question. ss
Just about the time that the people
Of Europe thought that things had
dropped from the boiling to the sim
mering stage, the Japanese ambassa-
dor to France paid an Official call to
the foreign office, and made d state
meanltt that sent thrill through europe.
This little man came In search Of
information, he said. He wanted to
know something about the near east.
ern question, and the dispute about
the Balkan states. Particularly. he
wanted to understand what VA mean
by the Dardanelles question. He In
timated that Japan might have some
thing to say about It., II the warships
Of the car were to be permitted to
use the straits II time of peace and
to close them In time Of war.
Thus the question that has dis
turbed the world since those straits
have been navisated. arises again.
For the first time in history, an
Oriental power steps into the game.
This waterway, strangely enough, IL
the passageway to the east-or at
least to that portion Of It coveted by
the powers OF Europe.
In this inquiry there Is really moth
ing alarming.
It does not NEAR that Japan will
step into the breach and declare war.
1t demonstrates that the Anglo-Saxon
is determined to hold the upper hand
In the world.
One does not have to examine into
the question long without discovering
the hand OF Great Britain in this in
timation for Japan is her ally, and.
hence the far sightedness of the Eng
fish statesman is seen again.
Japan has an interest. She will not
consent to those straits being open
for the passage of Russian ships in
time of peace and closed to foreign
war ships in time of a Such an
agreement would necessarily be with
the consent Of the powers-and the
mem Of Nippon wish to swim about
among the powers.
Thus a new phase Of the situation
develops, and Great Britain strikes
from another source. France and Tur-
key are allied with her in this mat
ter. So is Russia, but the czar is
making unreasonable demands. Thus
Japan Is brought into the affair-just
to take the cars mind OF the Darda-
nelles until the misunderstanding is
adjusted to the liking OF the men who
rule from London, and who make pos
sible the supremacy Of the Anglo-Sax-
on ace
1t is very interesting, withal serious,
for these men are playing with pow
der, and a false move, or an indis-
Greet word, will cause an explosion.
But the English have played the
game so long, and want trade so much
more than war, that they may be re-
lied upon to maintain the peace of the
world,--though prepared on the in
slant to strike the first blow in war.

WHY IS AN INTERNATIONAL MAR
RlAGE?

Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy, who is
an Italian, has written a novel. In his
book he attempts to answer the ques-
ton that has puzzled America for sew
eral decades: Why is an interna-
tional marriage?' $
AS the prince married a beautiful
and gifted American woman-Amelia
Rives-his book will doubtless be read
in some circles with more than ordi-
nary interest.
We must do the prince the credit Of
stating that he realizes that there are
Americans and Americans, and that
there r as many different types as
there are sections.
He confines himself to the kind that
flourish in New York city-and for
that we have much to be thankful.
With that point firmly established in
the mind Of his reader, the prince pro
ceeds to establish his case (?) with
the man. or woman who has wasted
money On the novel, which is enti-
tied t3The Passerbyy. Il
The American lover, he concludes,
lacks romance.
The American woman loves ro
nance.
The foreigner, with a highfaluting
title and an empty purse is romantic,
says the prince. just where the titled
diners from that magnifl-
cent specimen Of manhood vulgarly
known as the American tramp, he does
not explain-for the knight of the
Road is q dreamer, and has the added
Of being able to speak the
language OF the country in which the
heiress lives.
And that brings us to another point
the foreign nobleman is only roman
tic in the presence Of = rich and I'M
married American woman.
For the married woman, or the poor
girl. there is no feeling In his heart
no thought. He has romance, and to
spare to lavish on the dollhouse brand
beauties reared on Manhattan Is
and.
And the heiress-she wants ro-
nance.
True, she might marry a wandering
or even an American business
man who would seek her for her
her refinement and love, and
lot her money.
She might marry q poor American
or even a tramp, and while he might
lot be a husband to be proud of at
he outset-he would knock down the
nan who breathed q word against her,
'r her family-and that Is more than
he average titled husband will do.
And the chances are, that, no matter
whom she might wed, in this country,
le would never rise to that dignity
hat seems to be purely European, Of
whipping his wife. spending her money
o secure a divorce, and then insist.
ng upon obtaining alimony..
But, perhaps, that Is the romantic
,art Of 1t all.
II SO, then we can understand the
motive Of the American heiress, for
he seeks a qualification in q foreigner
hat Is not possessed by an American
because 1t is thoroughly unAmerican.

CULTIVATION.

BY the time this reaches the reader
garden planting will practically be
ended. In the vegetable garden few
late varieties may be soWn as late as
July, but flowers will all be in the
ground, and everything viii be ready
for cultivation. And just here begins
one of the most important duties of the
gardener To keep the ground well
stirred, to get rid of worms and in
sects, to kill and remove the weeds, to
thin the plants properly. to water if the
season be dry, to train vines, to pinch
out shoots Of roses and other shrubs
and vines, to keep the lawn moved
and in proper condition, to cut out. dead
and unsightly limbs from trees, for
this can be done in summer after sap
ceases to fow-all these are part of
the duties that fall to the lot of the
gardener IN the next few weeks.
On their proper performance depends
his success. The gardeners trinity are

Found Women Praying Beside Corpse

two women were found praying for his

the man had been dead at least forty
eight hours. Mrs. Fannie Soult, pro-

Beckman, who were arrested by the
police, are the women. With them in
the house was a ive-year-old son Of
Mrs. Soult.
The police took the women to the
station house, where Mrs. Soult made
a statement in which she said that

seven years, and that since last April
she had been treating him by rubbing

CARE OF SCHOOL GROUNDS.

CARE OF SCHOOL GROUNDS.
There is no place, with the single
exception Of the home, where a charm
ing environment is so much needed as
about the school. Yet ordinarily there
is no spot so bare and uninyfting as
the school grounds. Why? Do teach
ers not realize that the mind of the
pupil is formed by a thousand infu-
ences- that the chief lessons are often
learned from things and not from
books? The neglect shown in this sin
gle regard of beautifying the school
grounds has been almost criminal
It it be objected that tender shrubs,
flowers and vines will interfere with
the ehildren's play and that they win
suffer from childish depredations, the
answer is that the pupils themselves
should be made the landscape garden
ers. They should be interested. Thus
double influence on their minds is
brought to bear Moreover, there are
hardy shrubs, vines and flowers, and
the method Of grouping or a little
framework will furnish ample protec-
tion where the children are not enough
Interested to respect and guard the
plants themselves
If nothing else, plant trees in the
school grounds and about them. These
are safe from the hands Of children
who have been improperly taught. Aft
er all, trees are the noblest landscape
ornaments.
The real need in this country, how
ever is to instruct the young them
selves in the care of gardens, lawns
and parks Incuicate in them the love
of grass and flowers and growing
things. Let them set out their own
shrubs and vines. Arouse their emula-
ton to excel each other in the care of
the grounds. This win take them out
Of doors and viii be like play to them.
Moreover, it will train up a genera
ton which will supply what we SO
much lack landscape gardening. There
is nothing that would so develop the
health Of the child. his love Of the
beautiful or his character. There is
nothing which would more elevate and
ennoble the future race.
The people who stand most in the
way Of this needed improvement are
usually the school trustees or the
boards of education. Whether this
rises from parsimony, dullness or mere
incompetency matters not The result
is the same-the crime against child
hood and nature the same. When
will people learn that the greatest les
sons are not gained from books? When
will our commercial and utilitarian age
awaken to the value Of the beautiful in
the cultivation of characters
There are other similar lines of ac-
tiyity in which the children can be in
terested In many cities street clean
ing brigades are being organized among
the pupils of the public schools. For
one-half day Of the week these small
white wing" brigades actually engage
in street cleaning work. 1t is great
sport and greater instruction It tends
to rear up race that will not tolerate
cities with streets left in the disgrace
full condition found in most American
cities.
Arbor day in the schools is a step
in the right direction The idea should
be extended until the growing genera
ton would be vitality interested in the
planting and care of trees, in the city
and village beautiful, in the good roads
movement and in the charming effects
Of garden. lawn and landscape.

remarks that there is scarcely any
pursuit more calculated TO produce
good feeling among every class than
that Of horticulture. Especially is this

1t is true, which makes man proud
to be even on speaking terms with a

reason for the good feeling Is that gar
