TOXIC March S-COunr Okuma, for

has written a signed article for the Toxic
Mainichi, in which he unreservedly
praises President Taft for his policy as
embodied in his inaugural address.
In regard 10 that portion of the ad-

manner thoroughly compatible with ma
tional credit and honor and the standing
of the United States as a highly civilized
power.
In respect TO the naval program as laid
down in the inaugural speech. the count
processes TO fully concur He writes thai
President Taft believes that such al
outcome is an unavoidable demand OF
the times. and ridicules the idea that il
is directed against Japan.
He asserts that this idea is gross
misrepresentation of both Japan and the
United States. which believe equally y
of peace.
Regarding immiGratio the count can
not entertain the idea of restriction as
a principle, but he is opposed to il as a
temporary measure for preventing un-
necessary excitement and irritation when
Japan is unfortunately the object of un-
warrantable suspicion.
In conclusion. he says:
"Japan's real motive was proven on
the occasion of the visit of the fleet and
is now understood fully by cstimable
Americans.

Newest Fabrics for

1t is astonishing what pretty custains.
draperies, etc, can be purchased now for
little money. Indeed, they are so cheap
there is no reason why every woman may

: 1t may be well to add that these fab

or cheap looking.

is soft stuff called serpentine crepe II

quality makes it practical for drapine

Papers and Hangings Match.
The most firmly settled of all fads IN

KETCHEL TOO SMALL
To FIGHT JOHNSON

Stanley Ketchel's announcement
that he will pass the color line and
give battle to Jack Johnson for the
championship of the world puts a new
light upon the fistic situation. While
most of the fight fans will be glad to
see a white man take game chance
against the negro-a real, live white
fighter, not a dead one or discard
they also shiyer a little at the odds
which must be faced by Ketchel when
he meets the mighty black. Very few
critics even accorded Ketchel a
chance with Tommy Burns. WHAT
chance, therefore. would the Polish
marvel stand against Jack Johnson?
There are two ways Of looking at 1t,
though 1t is quite possible that Burns,
after all, was but a god OF clay; that
lie never amounted to hill of beans,
and that his career was well-nandled
series of mills with easy marks In
this case 1t Is easy to see how soft he
was for Johnson. and also that Ketchel
may be far better performer than
Johnson mas met in recent days.
