JAPAN's rRIENDLINESs.

Even lhe widest of imaginative spec. ulation cannot longer suggest any ex- cuse for the Japanese, war talk in which some of our valiant jingoists have been indulging The redemption offered by the Japanese to the men of the American fleet at Yokohama Bay and at Toko has surpassed the most sangune hopes of those who have looked forward to the occasion as the beginning of a nearer relationship be-
 tween the United States and the Flow cry Kingdom The Japs have outdone themselves and tpere cannot be the slightest suspicion that they are not perfectly sincere, in it all, It was not too much for us to expect that they would provide some sort of welcome for our men, but it was not to be expected that they would be doing everything that the mind of mortal man can con- ceive, barring neither trouble or ex- pense, to make the present visit of the fleet an enjoyable success in every way. The singing of the American national hymn In English on Monday by a big chorus of Japanese school children and the audience granted Admiral Sperry and his staff by the Japanese emperor and empress yesterday were signih- cant events, unnecessary and uncalled for and therefore more pleasing
 As the Boston Herald has only toe truly commented: There are jngoes in Japan as there are in every country,
 and the political opposition to the min. Iistry is inclined to play upon the ma

interested financially in any corporate interests, there would be very few men who might present themselves for po- lltical office who would pass muster Where can be found the man today for instance able to stand the fnan- cial stress of political life who has not some of his money tied up in the stocks or bonds of some big corpora ton operating locally?
 Even Mir Lilley himself has not been an unknown factor in the corpor- alton world
 on the other hand, there can be ,lit- tie doubt of the position in which Judge Robertson would find himself as regards the corporate interests Of the state in case of his election. Even had the present line of argument not been raised against him in this pre- election campaign, and even did he | not want to do the right thing for rights sake, he then could not but realize that his every public act would be put through a fine sieve, as It were, by the general public in it's endeavor to l discover him in the act in aiding in any way such corporations as he might be interested in. It would only be the human tendency in any man, to re- frain whether a rascal or not How much more, then, might 1t be expected to be the tendency with man whose record Is of the brightest and whose name is of the fairest in the state We even have Colonel Ullman who is one of MT.

TAFT IN THE SOUTH.

The spectacle of Mir Taft talking to the voters south Of the Mason Dixon line will be recalled in the years to come as easily the most inspiring in- cident of the campaign Not since the war has so much effective work been done for the creation of a real national standard of brotherhood It took man tol conceive of the idea and 1t took man to enforce 1t in the face of the op- position of those who could see only lost time in the trip
 When the idea was presented 10 Mir, Taft that he could employ his time to better advantage than visiting and speaking to people who have no idea of.voting for him, he replied: q do not want to be President of half my coun- try. If I cannot successfully appeal to the people of every section, can at least show my own desire to cultivate a closer fellowship with all, and l firm ly believe that an honest, frank inter change of views will bear fruit in the future strength of our party in the south"
 It would be impossible to exaggerate the superb taste and tact with which MT. Taft took the voters of the south into his confidence He told them frankly, but in an agreeable manner, that they could not hope to participate in the counsels of the nation as whole unless they were ready to give up the self-imposed task of living up to an eX- ploded ideal and keeping alive tradi- tions with which the present generation has no alliance The currents of local thought which made the southerners of a former generation democrats for the sake of being democrats and anti-re- publicans no longer exist and should not be artihcally kept alive for pur- poses of sectional couceit. It is high time for the past to bury its dead and for the south to turn it's face towards the morning light which promises SC much for the moral and commercial development of the country
 These were the things Mir Taft tolt the voters of the south, not in parti san spirit, as 8 candidate looking foI stray votes, but as a patriot who love' his country more than any political or ganzation in it. It was a service whici will never be forgotten because it's in fluence must be steadily felt by the re- flectiug men of the south to whom thu appeal for national unity was made. It dramatic quality, the entering of local ity fed for generations on hostile food alone entities the act to be remember ed in history as one of sterling patriot ism as it is sure to bring to his suppor at the polls the votes of thousands wh may question perhaps some of his DO litical tenets William Howard Taft is great man and good one, and wi make a great president.
