ONE OF THE QUEER THINGS

One of the queer things is the queer way in which Japan has succeeded in impressing this country and some oth- CT countries Ever since she licked
 Russia there has been pretty prev alent impression that she could lick almost everything else except the United States Little thought has been given to the plain fact that she is and
 has been in great danger of getting licked herself by savage and relent- less enemy-naticnal poverty She is in a crisis now on account of her mon ey matters. The resignations of the minister cf finance and the minister of communications are explained mainly as due to the dissatisfaction with the financial policy of the cabi- net, eliminating in the discovery of. a
 niscslculaticn of s2o000 00e ir the annual budget. fer which the finance minister was personally responsible

HOW TO WARD THEM OFF.

It has been believed by many Eng lishmen in India, and perhaps by some United States men in our own tropical regions, that large amounts of strong drink were necessary to ward off various tropical diseases which lie in wait for the man who moves into their neighborhood from more temperate zone. But one of the consuls of the United States. who are now studying everything under the sun and telling the State depart ment about it, has been studying life in Calcutta especially with the idea of finding out how much rum Is need ed to pull a white man through He says; After nearly two years residence here my observations lead me to say that drinkers of spirits, wines and malt liquors are the most susceptible to disease, especially levers, either on the plains or in the mountains, of any class of the inhabitants. Proper re- gard for dress, to guard against sud den weather changes, moderation in eating, especially meats, using only fil- tered and boiled water, total absten- ton from alcoholic, vinous and malt liquors, and plenty of sleep. will al- most invariably insure, to the average healthy person, good and uniform health as far as levers are concern ed, and by adding vaccination and in- ecnlation will go long way toward werding off contagious diseases
 So says Consul General William H Michael and prohib:tionists and many other sensible people will agree with nim. The simple and careful life is good for those who live in the tropics or anywhere else.

ONCE MORE, IN OHIO

There may be such a thing as just taxation Most of those who are taxed think there isn't and, truth to tell. they are able to bring some pretty fair and cogent argument in support of their notion State Senator Howe of Ohio is making an interesting, il not important, contribution to the ev- erlasting tax discussion. He has intro duced a bill in the Ohio legislature which proposes to ascertain the mar ket value of franchise corporations take from that amount the value tha, is now paying taxes, and on the re- mainder levy tax of ss on sl,000 He contends that this is moderate, as the average tax on property is now over S23 on 1000 As Senator Howe puts it, Ohio corporations are as. sessed on scrap-iron basis, that oi the rail, the ties, the pole, which bear. about as much relation to the req value as the individual bolts, nuts and plates bear 10 the actual locomo. tive" He says: The question of taxa. ton seems intricate to most people but anyone can appreciate this fact everyone of the adult males of Ohio must give an equivalent to six days work at g day, to make up the ia, which the big corporations evade" 4 concrete illustration is cited in the fac that the horses are taxed for nor, than twice as much as the express telegraph and telephone companies while the dogs are taxed for man, times as much as the sleeping car anc | fast freight companies
 How far Senator Howe will get i, | this move remains to he seen. I he gets far the corporations of Ohi, will have about as much cause for com plaint as the horses. the dogs, an, some of the property

MORE THOROUGH WORK NEEDED

The Aldrich emergency currency bill may have many friends in Wash ington, but 1t doesn't seem to have many anywhere else. Chicago bankers have protested to Senator Hopkins that the proposed measure will not meet the conditions beyond the Ale ghenies New York bankers have de- clared that the bill is inadequate, and that it. in some directions, aggravates existing evils Boston banking men have criticised the measure as unsat- isfactory.
 And so forth and so on. IL is at least encouraging to find such a gen eral realization of the fact that some thing more than emergency legisla- tion" is needed. Emergency legislation doesn't seem likely to he needed for awhile and there is not likely to be a better time for constructing a law that will be more adequate and com prehensive than any and all of the measures that have so far been pro- posed Why not, then, tackle the finan- cial question man-fashion and see fl the good and the right thing for al concerned can't be done?

There is no preparation made for war during the prevalence of peace, says the dough ty Colonel, and mo organization of the units into armies with their re- quisite staffs has been drawn up and no provision is made for supply. 4 critical view of the army of the Unit ed States, notwithstanding good equipment, does not make the outlook hopeful in case of hostilities with a great military power" and he dis misses the National Guard as of no account
 Sadly interesting if true. If can be admitted, we suppose, that the United States army is not like the German army. but it might surprise even the scientific military Germans if test should come, However. faithful are the wounds of a friend.

NEW YoRk,s BASIS FOR DEBT.

The bigness of the debt of Greater New York has lately had some of the attention due it, and so has the big ness of the taxes. Now attention is drawn to the fact that an increase of no less than s472. 100000 in the as sessed valuation of real estate in New York city shows a marvellous devel- opment in real property. not only in the central section of the metropolis but in the outlying >boroughs as well. In Manhattan the increase is given as s19s, ,000, 900. in Brooklyn s144, 4,000, 900 and the remainder in the three other boroughs.
 With debt about as big as the national debt perhaps New York real ly ought to have as much to base 1t on as the United States has to base it's debt on But 1t hasn't yet What it 1 is going to have remains to be seen. l Evidently something very big unless 1t l is destroyed by an earthquake this year, according to the prediction that has been made
