Peace With Honor Wanted.

"This we propose to do, and even the
suggestion of aggression, of territorial
aggrandizement on the part of Japan
as far as China is concerned is as
far from the truth as it is possible
for any one to go. 1t is peace we,
here in Japan, want and peace, we must
have-not peace at any cost, but peace
with honor.
at is the demand for control by the
younger and progressive element Of
China that forms the menace, not first
of all to any other country, but to
China itself. A constitution is de-
manded and it is said a constitution
is to be granted, but a constitution
must be carefully prepared, as unor'
| eanized administration must bring
| chaos, which means revolution.
ITO help in bringing about condi.
tions that will secure for japan and
China a long period of friendly inter
| course and is an object tC
which we must devote both time and
| attention.

JAPAN and KOREA
PRINCE ITO OF JAPAN SAYS
FUTURE Is BRIGHT.
Sudden Squat Capsizes Their Sloop
Roxana and Five Ladies Lost Lives
Before the Captain Could Slack Away
His Sheet the Boat Was Bottom Up
Tugs Quick to the Rescue.

Tokio.-"Korea today is not a source
of great anxiety to JAPAN" said Prince
Ito Tuesday. "The future of hat eoun-
try depends upon the Koreans. The
policy outlined nearly two years ago
has been carried out with but little
deviation, and there is every reason to
look hopefully into the future of
Korea"
Prince Ito, the great central figure
il the political history of Japan, is
retiring from the position of resident
general of Korea to take his seat as
president of the privy council.
The prince said: "China looms large
and becomes the problem of the day,
not only for Japan but for the whole
civilized world. Consequently it is on
China that our best thoughts must be
eentered and not upon Korea, where L
am glad to say the sword has been
turned into a plowshare.
"Peace in the far east is essential to
the prosperity Of japan, Korea and
the possessions Of this country, and
we will engage our every endeavor to
preserve peace. China is perhaps better
understood by Japan than by any other
country in the world. In a sense we
have a common language and common
customs and Japan has drawn from
China the best of a civilization extend
ing back 1000 years.
Japan Friendly to China.
ITO say that Japan is not a friend
of China is to say what is not true.
We are grateful to China for many
benefits received. I am now speaking
of the best elements of society of both
countries. Each is to the other un
known as far as the masses are con-
cerned and of late the masses in China
have not shown themselves friendly
toward the japanese.
at is unnecessary to go into the
cause; the effect or result remains, and
while statesmen of each country may
understand each other there are prob
lens to be worked out-problems tha'
grow out of Misunderstanding, mis-
representation and even intrigues.
"There is discomfort ana poverty II
China, there is unrest, there is some
thing moving under the cover frcr
one end of that great country to tn
other and throughout it's various PROV

Nov that Oliver has returned To the East he

and red handkerchief and sleeping on the ground
but he cannot remember whether his conception of
ranch as kind OF shack or hut, surrounded by long
horned steers, with cowboys staggering about and
swinging lariats of recent origin or whether he
was barking back To hoyish magnings
To hear Oliver discourse of ranch life as it is or
rather as he says the ranch life he discovered is one
can imagine the truth was staggering revelation.
In TACT he gives the impression that many respects
ranch life bears close resemblance to life at Hot

However, he reflected Tucson was situated on big
trunk line and it only natural that good deal OF
civilization should be put off the express trains with
the trunks and tourists. Back in the desert forty
miles away, things would be different. There one
would hnd the West pristine and unspoiled. Oliver
