RI DeaIde About China.

Tokyo, Mar. 1.-THE Japanese news
papers continue to urge the govern
ment to take strong measures against
China. A meeting OF the cabinet Sat
urday will probably decide the govern
ment's course. It is understood that
the elder statesmen, including Marquis
ITO and Count Inouye, are counselling
against precipitation on the ground
that Japan would ALLEVIATE the sympa-
thy of the world If she hastily created

juncture on account of comparative

by a minor oficial at Canton.

ment united with his unimpeachable
integrity, make him the embodiment
Of the best spirit of the west, an ideal

Ing that his nomination as the candi-
date Of the party for the presidency
would bring to our support the cleo
toral votes of all the states within the
Mississippi valley and thus secure a
national triumph, we respectfully pre-
sent to the Democracy of the nation

HE ISA CANDIDATE.
A Presidential Boom Was Formally
Launched for Gov. johnson by
Minnesota Committee.
DRYAA'S FRIENDS OBJECTED
A Resolution Recommending That He
b Named at Denver Next July
\ Passed by Vote Of
90 to %.

81. Paul, Mar. THE Democratic
state committee Of Minnesota Friday
afternoon, after bitter fight, adopted
q resolution lndorslng Gov. John A.
Johnson Of Minnesota for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination and
recommending that he be named by
the National convention at Denver
next July.
As the meeting Of the committee
was presided over by Frank A. Day,
private secretary to the governor and
who voted for the Johnson resolution
on every test and on the final ballot,
the action OF the committee is held
by political leaders as placing the gov
ernor formally In the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
The johnson resolution was carried
by vote Of 6S to 20, after the Bryan
adherents had forced two test votes,
on both Of which they were defeated.
The Bryan men insisted on roll call
on every vote and gave notice In their
speeches on the original resolution
that they would not be bound by the
action Of the state committee, but
would make a fight throughout the
state for delegation from Minnesota
to the National convention instructed
to support the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan. Moreover, meeting Of Bryan
adherents. held at the Ryan hotel I'm
medIately after the adjournment OF
the state committee, formed a Bryan
organization which proposes to carry
the contest against johnson into every
precinct Of the state.
The state committee, besides adopt
ing the johnson resolution, voted that
the state convention to elect delegates
to the National convention should be
held In st. Paul on May H. The mat
ter OF calling a convention to nominate
ststs officers was left to committee
Of Eve to be appointed by State Chair
man Frank A. Day. The meeting OF
the committee was the most largely
attended IN the history Of the Demo
cratic party In Minnesota, word hav-

.HUGaES SAYS 10 REGULATE
RailrOading a Business to b Run
In Interests Of Publit.
But He Thought the People Wished
the Regulation to Be Just to
All Concerned.

New York, Mar. THAT the people
are determined that there shall be ade
Quate regulation Of the railroads bu
that they are sincere In their avowet
wish that such regulation shall be Jus
was the belief expressed by Gov
Charles =. Hughes in an address be
fore the Traffic club Friday night. The
governor was guest at the dinner o.
the club which also entertained the
heads and other officials of many rail
road corporations.
There Is not the slightest question
but what the great American people
are interested in their railroads and
want to see them developed and ex'
tended, and every possible means
adopted to bring them up to the maxi.
mum of service.
Nov, In order that the problems Of
this day may be solved there must be
honest cooperation; there must be CO
operation in a necessary effort to have
everything that people really desire 1t
to be; and that is right, and as you
go up and down this country and you
meet the average American citizen In
whatever organization or occupation
you may find him and you come to
close quarters with him and try to
understand what he really wants,
80 times out Of 100 you will find he
only wants what is right"
The governor said that railroad men
must recognize the indisputable fact
that the people had determined that
railroading was public business and
that 1t was to be regulated in the In
terests Of the public. Whether this
regulation came in the right way
would depend, he said, upon the sin.
cerity and intelligence Of the efforts to
deal with those matters in sensible,
fair and open way SO that all rights
might be safeguarded with reference
to all parties concerned. The proper
machinery should be provided so that
any one who thinks any particular
thing is not right will have a place to
go where his views will be heard and
honestly passed upon.

Why RengO Reduces Fat.
Anti-Fats and Starvation Diet Result
i'm Wrecking OF the System.

Fat as q general rule comes from the
failure Of the digestive organs TO DO
their work properly. II may come also
from over-eatiug. In these cases there
Is always some part Of the food eaten
which IS not eliminated as % should be-
but IS made up in the form OF fat and
sent by the blood 10 various parts OF the
body This accumulation continues con-
/ stantly until within a comparatively
short time, the heart becomes incased in
layer or coating OF fat The heart
seems 70 be one Of the first vital organs
10 become affected in this manner
The food, therefore, in cases Of fat. is
not properly assimllated-that Is, part Of
the food is retained by the body which
should not De retained, and part which
should be retained is thrown out. This
does not always mean dyspepsia or iudi-
EestlOn, for one may have q very
healthy stomach and yet begin TO grow
fat, through no apparent cause.
It is evident 10 any one, then. that 10
