FOREIGN COMMENT.
Prince Ito Truly the Founder oi
 Modern Japan.

Paris, Oct 26.-In France Prince Ito was regarded as Japan's most able statesman. M. Pichons minister of foreign affairs. who knew him at Pe- king in 1898, describes the princes re- markable mental capacities and won derful foresight He says that Ito was truly the founder of modern Japan. The newspapers take a similar view. They are. however, not inclined to think that the removal of the prince will in any way modify the adopted policy of Japan
 Deep Regret of German Government.
 Berlin, Oct. 26.-The government. through the Norddeutche Allegemeine Zeitung expresses its deepest regret" at the violent death of Prince Ito, and refers to the prince as the most inn portant of contemporary Japanese statesmen.
 Outcome of Conditions Existing.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-The murder of Prince Ito cannot possibly affect the relations of Russia and Japan ac- cording to the view held in official circles, since it is considered self-evi- dent here that the tragedy was the outcome of the conditions existing be- tween Japan and Korea. The Russo Japanese relations are on an excellent footing despite the occasionally re- vived reports that Japan is preparing for another war with Russia. This report Ambassador Motono charac- terized as a malicious invention of the newspapers, during a recent call which he made at the foreign office.

why CROSS THE BRIDGE?

Editor Rorer A. James, of the Reg
lister, who is State senator from Dan.
VILE. is opposed to dragging to the
front the saloon question. He saws in
the editorial columns of the Register:
What is to be gained by forcing this
issue prematurely? If fight for or
against Statewide prohibition is ever
to be had, why precipitate it prema-
tureiy! 1t is not and cannot be an
issue in this campaign and cannot he
therefore, for two years. Not until
the election Of the entire 40 members
OF the general assembly in 1911 can
Statewide prohibition be made an issue.
why then expect either Mr.. Tucker or
Judge Mann to assume individually a
position which may not be in accord
with that OF their party two years hence?
Suppose Democratic convention
were called for the specific purpose of
defining the party's attitude with refer
ence to treatment of the liquor problem:
That declaration would not be binding
upon the party two years hence. if
another convention reversed or changed
the position. Democratic State officials
would, as we apprehend the situation.
be bound by the latest formal declara-
ton of party policy.
why cross this bridge before we
come to it? Why worry over the posi-
bility of Statewide prohibition before
it becomes an issue? The Democratic
party is pledged to local option because
its representatives years ago gave to
the State this plan of local self-govern-
ment as applied To the liquor question.
and, having retained it on the statpte
books, ever since, it seems to US to no
