Announcement that the Levy Court
has under consideration a project to
enlarge the county courthouse has
aroused much public interest, and the
general opinion seems to be that the
Levy Court should consider the sub
ject thoroughly before making a de-
finite decision as TO the nature of the
improvements.
Sentiment seems 10 be that to build
an addition on the King street end of
the court house would destroy the ar

TAKES ISSUE WITH TAFT
Japanese Says Editors Did Not Create
War Talk, But Are Orators
Scapegoats.

New York City.-M. Zumoto.
owner Of the Japan Times of Toxic.
and one of the Commercial Commits
sioners of Japan who are visiting this
country takes issue with President
Taft's statement that all talk of war
between the United States and japan
was the invention of newspaper edi-
tors.
ION our trip over this country, we
have heard many criticisms of the
press said Zumoto. Orators seem to
have the habit of using the press as a
scapegoat for any unpleasant incident
they have to explain away.
when we were in MINNEAPOLIS
President Taft told us that all the talk
of war between our countries were
inventions of editors who wanted to
increase the circulation of their
papers. The same story was taken up
by other speakers.
81 think Mr. Taft's expression of
opinion was founded on misinforma-
ton, for l am sure it is a mistake that
the newspapers were responsible"

Rasmussen was sent north by the
Danish authorities following the ar.
rival Of Cook at Copenhagen, and he
was instructed to make a special can
vass of all the Eskimos and ascertain
all that they knew of Cooks exploit
A cable message received here from
Copenhagen declares that Rasmussen

Cook to withdraw his offer to let the
Danes first pass upon his proofs.

not misplaced.
