GIRL WEBS
AFTER SEVEN YEARS WAIT.

TACOMA, Nov. AFTER waiting
anese maiden, who arrived on the
steamer Tacoma Maru, was married in
chi F'ukunaga, who arrived in the
United States seven years ago. FukI-
naga had never seen his intended wife
until the arrival of the steamer. Ac-
cording to the Japanese custom they
were married in the old country by
their names being placed on register.

firmly assured 1t is in the air, like
the Monroe doctrine.
That is all very we'll as long as the
policy is not disputed. Japan seems
about to dispute it by obtaining special
railroad and mining concessions from
China in Manchuria. What are we 60
but protest must rest on force in the
last analysis. Are We prepared to go
to war with Japan in defense of a right
to an equal share in all her industrial
enterprises in China? If not, what is
the use of talking about it?
The main question is not whether
we are strong enough to go to war with
Japan on the question of trade in a
country ten thousand miles from our
shores and a few hundred miles from
hers The real question is whether the
moral sense of the people would uphold
such a war?
After overrhnning a whole continent
with small respect for the previous
possessors, whether native or Euro
peans, and asserting our right to repel
European interference or dictation in a
whole hemisphere, does the american
people really think it can justly cross
the Pacific to deny a powerful and
spirited nation a far more modest as
sertion of the same supremacy there?

Treasury Empty and Deficiency OF
100000 Stares Commonwealth
In Face.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 4.-The
state of Alabama is broke me
treasury is not only empty but a de-
felt of over $1,OO0000 is staring the
commonwealth in the face and some
thing like $4,000 will have to be bor-
rowed to pay November salaries and
other expenses. While the state treas
urer is worrying how to get sufficient
money to pay current expenses, the IL
uuor element is rejoicing and attrib-
utes the depleted condition of the
excheuuer to the loss of revenue form
erly received from saloon licenses.
While the money received from IL
ouor licenses amounted only to some
thing over 100000 annually, this sum
would have tided things over to jan
uary, when the new taxes begin to
come in. The last legislature. when
taking UP the state appropriation,
failed to take into account the fact thar
the treasury would be short the usual
s1OO, 1000 derived from liquor licenses
and that put a serious crimp in calcu-
lations. Throwing out the saloons and
suspendinc breWeries also had tend
ercy to lower tax valuation.
The situation promises to be even
more complicated by an intimatlon
that after January l the treasury may
refuse to pay out any old solder
funds or school money Thus the old
soldiers and school marms' also may
suffer on account of the depleted con-
ditiOn of the treasury.

almost absolute necessity in the condi-
tions of vast and complicated business
that have grown up in this country.
The ineradicable prejudice against
great central bank can be met with
complete proof that our government
finance is unscientific and that our
banking system is dangerous, but it
holds out as stubbornly as ever.
If anything this popular prejudice
has increased since the United States

partial failure of every financial device
to take place. That can only be be-
cause those things in our business and
political life that inspired the preju-

politics to be corrupted by wealth is
greater now than in Jackson's time.
bank under government does not come
from quarters or under patronage that
tends to allay prejudice and quiet sus-
picion. For ten years all our financial
legislation has been shaped and direct
ed by men whom the people OF the
country view with growing distrust.
One after another financial bill that
would have seemed uneXceptional in
another country has been defeated here
through the popular prejudice excited
by the nature of it's support.
1t is the most natural thing in the
world that men who sit in the senate
and house of representatives as repre-
sentatives of wealthy communities and
personal and business allies of multi
millionaires. should have a hand in
shaping financial legislature. But the
people have come to distrust men of
this type and their representatives have
been compelled to defeat legislation
proposed by them or lose their seats
in congress.
That is the deadlock, stubbornly real,
if unreasonable that practically pre-
vented all financial legislation for
years until the panic of 1907 broke it
far enough to let the elastic currency
bill through But the forces of pre-
judice have gathered again to resist
carrying that law to the logical conc;u
sion of a system under which the banks
will issue all the currency of the cOun-
try on general credit, With a great gov
eminent bank to give security and sta
blity to the whole.
The chief supporter of the central
bank scheme is the chief author of
the elastic currency scheme. No man

A NEW LIE.

After certain recent experiences in
this country language employed by
former Prime Minister Balfour in a
public speech in England is calculated
to stimulate comparisons of interest
to a certain eminent naturalist now in
the field and to numerous objects of
his attention. Mr.. Balfour was reply
ing to a statement by a Scotch men,
Der of the government to the effect that
power they will cease the payment of
Old-age pensions. The former pre-
mier did not confine himself to a de-
NAL. He did not say that Mr. IRE
was mistaken, misinformed, misled or
disingenuous. He did not assert that
the Scotchman was tampering with the
truth or that he was thrilling with the
verities. He used the short and ugly
word of late American parlance, with
frills that will commend themselves
to consideration on this side of the At
lantic. He denounced Mr. IRE for
uttering ''frigid, calculated lie" This
is an absolutely new combination. We
have had the lie deliberate and the lie
circumstantial, the lie abominable and
the lie unmitigated. But the frigid
lie is a new one to us, and likewise
the calculated lie, while the combina-
ton is overwhelming. Mr.. IRE will
have to hustle to reply to Mr. Balfour's
denunciation in kind.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF A LYNCH.
ING.

Oklahoma has heretofore excited
diverse sensations by the excentrici-
ties of her executives and legislators,
and sas now come to the front with
an unique. sample of lynching, as we
now proceed to relate:
Four estimable citizens of the COM
monwealth of Texas, while sojourning
in Oklahoma. found it necessary to
kill a Z. s. Deputy Marshal; and, of
course. promptly put the idea into
execution. Unfortunately, as the Tex
ans were millionaire cattlemen, GER
tain parties to the jury unknown set
them down as malefactors of great
wealth; and escorted them in the
most orderly manner to a nearby
barn and hanged them to it's rafters
until dead
In our opinion, by this conserva-
tive and commendable action, Judge
Lynch has completely disposed Of
one of the most formidable objections
to his proceedings, which was that
while the penalties were inflicted
promptly and certainly upon Afro
Americans, Chinese, Italians and
other undesirable citizens, malefac-
tors of great wealth were exempt
from molestatiOn.
Perhaps this reform will do much
to popularize the safe and sane rene
dies by the lynching CODE AT

A WHITE SKIN NO EVIDENCE OF
MORALITY.

The immortality of the Afro-Ameri-
can is favorite topic for discussion
by moralists of other races; and in
deed is the cause assigned as the
necessity for grandfather clauses and
jim crow laws.
The most ardent advocate for the
denounced race must admit that a few
of the statements are true, but when
comparison is made between the
races, we at once enter upon debat-
able ground and there is room for
argument.
A vast number of proofs can be
abducted to show that white skin
is by no means an evidence of high
moral attachments: one of which we
shall at once produce.
1t requires the vast number of 27O,-
900 prostitutes to supply the demand
in the three cities Of London, Berlin
and Paris. The average life of a
prostitute is five years. Out of the
foregoing number. 10000 attempt
suicide and one-fourth of the latter
number succeed. At the end of five
years the number must be- recruited
and mainly on account of the poverty
of the working classes, the supply is

1t certainly is very pleasing to note
the glory, praise and honor that is
being heaped upon the Philippine
Constabultary Band in Washington re-
Gently. This famous band led the in
augural parade and on last Saturday
it opened the new Potomac drive, as
it has been officially designated by
President Taft, who was present with
Mrs. Taft and many thousands of the

duced by this band because of its
actual worth. Therefore we say we
are pleased because of the fact that
the leader is an Afro-American
Capt. Loving, who began his career
as musician in St. Paul where he
lived for over ten years. This goes
to verify the correctness of the poet
who said:
Honor and shame from no condition
rise,
Act well your part, for there al
honor lies.

raised in luxury and has been re-
duced to poverty rarely escapes being
the victim of those circumstances.
a host of professional traffickers
is continually on the alert to supply
the market and many well-intentioned
girls are actually entrapped and en-
meshed as to be forced to yield. Not
a few parents are base enough to con-
sent to the degradation of their off
spring, for the sake of filthy lucre.
Not sonly this, but the notorious
prevalence of divorce in the highest
ranks Of society, is an evidence of
easy virtue not much better than &C.
tual public prostitutes. We need not
specify cases-the woods are full of
them. If the testimony of travellers
is worthy of credit, prostitution is the
vice of civilization
