REFLECTIONS or A BACHELOR.

New York Press: A girl Is awful
smart to make a man understand he is
making love to her when he isn't.
A man can never appreciate the
trustworthiness OF a trolley car until
he owns an automobile.
If woman has to take care of her
sisters baby overnight because its
mother is away, she can call it a house
party.
Getting over honeymoon Is just the
difference between hothouse grapes for
breakfast and going back to corned
beef hash.
The hatefulest thing to a woman
about her neighbors is how they are
going to talk about her as soon as she
gives them the chance.
The only way to end a family argu-
ment Is never to begin 1t.
The pride man takes in going on
the water wagon is nothing to the fun
he has falling off.
! girl can't see why It's so very
wrong for her to deceive other people
when she does 1t to herself
One Of the most exasperating things
to a man about trying to marry a girl
is how he nearly always succeeds.
You never hear a woman ten her
husband how much better her father
used to do things, because he actually
did.

Japanese emigrants within restricted
spheres as near home as possible by
withdrawing them from distant foreign
lands is certainly well meant, but It
Is very doubtful whether such a wish
can be realized.
This view has been emphasized by
the veteran statesman, Count Okuma.
Some hold the opinion" he observes,
that in order partially to dispose of
the surplus population Of the country
something like 100000 people should
be annually sent Korea and Man
churia for colonizc ion purposes. Such
a view, however, is erroneous, and
would De difficult Of realization. So
called emigrants who are workers for
wages, naturally prefer going to places
where they can earn much, and 1t is
more than probably, that they would
not go to places like Korea and Man
churia, where the demand for labor is
scarce and wages are row. What is
needed in the development of the re-
sources OF Korea and Manchuria is
capital and a knowledge of turning
the capital to good account.
Nothing can be more useless than
the crowding of these countries with
penniless laborers. Japan'y population
is annually multiplying at a rate of
close upon 100000 and unless a suita-
BILE outlet is found the country will not
be able to afford sufficient employ
ment for them, so far that the social
problem in its worst form will present
itself as an inevitable outcome. That
America and Canada are the most de-
sirable fields for Japanese emigration,
Count Okuma thinks, admits of no
doubt, and he is optimistic enough to
believe Ii probable that in course Of
time American agrtatOrs will be
brought to a sense of unreasonableness
of their action and will begin to well
come the Japanese.
The Chinese ministry Of war has de-
cided to establish military high schools
in four provinces, with central mil
itary college at the capital, where spe-
cial courses for infantry, cavalry, ar
tillery and engineers are to be given.
The students will be drafted from the
provincial high schools and on gradu-
alton they will be examined by COM
missioner appointed by the emperor i'm
conjunction with tie board, when the
successful students win be appointed
to officer by the throne. The regula-
tions regarding admittance and cur
ricula have been approved and COM
municated to the different provinces.
Meantime according to the vernacu-

JAPS ARE WORRIED
over EMIGRATION
STATESMEN ARE ENDEAVORING
TO FIND SATISFACTORY So
LUTON TO ANNOY
ING PECBLEM.

Toxic, May 11.-Recent events in
California have again concentrated
public attention in Japan on the de-
STABILITY of finding some solution of
the vexed migration question. In the
face of the doings of the Pacific coast
agitators, the country as a. whole has
shown remarkable patience and self
restraint, although the opinion Is ex-
pressed in influential quarters that the
situation is worse than when the
question was first raised. Generally,
the governments proposal to concen-
trate colonization enterprises in neigh
boring territories, such as Korea and
Manchuria, is regarded as inadequate,
and the hope that American prejudice
will ultimately be overcome has not
been altogether abandoned.
The limitations of the far eastern
countries from the point of view of
the class of emigrants who have hith-
erto gone to- the United States are
pointed out by the Nichi Nichi Shin
bun, one OF the leading newspapers
of Toxic. 1t remarks that while the
anti Japanese movement in America is
wrong and unjustifiable, so long as it
exists the fact must be accepted. Were
it possible, it would be more manly
and in keeping with Japan's digniry
to abandon for good place where
Japanese are not welcomed and are
maltreated. But the movement of
large bodies of people rs not so simple
a matter as that of a few isolated in
dividuals. 1t should be borne in mind,
continues the Journal that workers
abroad will inevitably go to countries
where a larger cash return is obtain
able, and it would be impossible to di-
vert the stream of emigrants from
America and Australia to Korea and
Manchurea. There exists a funda-
mental difference between the aims of
the two classes of emigrants. The anx-
iety of the government to collect

ILLEGAL FISHING
At BUCKS MILLS
FARGO PARTY SEES WALLEYEp
PIKE HAULED AWAY FROM ME-
LIssA--No REGARD FOR LAW
AT RESORT THIS SPRING, 1T IS
SAID.

That there is no regard for the Min
nesota game laws at Lake Melissa as
well as other resorts in fhe Minnesota
lake region, is the nature of the re-
ports received in the city. While 1t
was announced some time ago that
the Fishing season was Open" 1t is
contrary to law TO fish for pike.
City Auditor N. c. Morgan was
among a party to visit Melissa last
Sunday. An early rip was made to
the resort, II being little after
o'clock in the morning when the party
was on the lake shore. They found a
pair Of teams attached to wagons at
Bucks Mills. along the canal. The
shore was lined with 1sh and at least
a dozen pike were spotted among the
lot. 1t is estimated that fully 300
pounds of fish were taken out away
as soon as possible after the new
comers were discovered. Who the law
infractors were, is not known.
