condemned, perchance 10 swing at the
end Of a piece OF Iowa hemp or to
have his shady reputation whitewashed by
a verdict of acquittal is the fate that is
awaiting the old Scotch trouble maker.
For Macbeth has been indicted for the
foul murder OF his old friend and sus-
pected co-consipirator, Banquo, and a court
In the law school of the State University
of Iowa will pass upon the guilt of the de-
PENDANT and deal out tardy justice to him
according to the law and the evidence.
The indictment has been drawn with that
profound regard for legal technicalities
which marks the criminal lawyer. 1t has
been solemnly proclaimed In court that
one Macbeth did enter into q conspiracy
with a certain person or persons to give
the legendary progenitor of the house OF
Stuart an effective boost toward the bet
ter land. OF course. the prosecuting at
torney does not hope, as he will probably
explain to the jury. to prove that the noted
defendant struck down the unfortunate
Banquo with his own han He will de-
pend entirely or evidence tending to show
that the prisoner at the bar was the brains
OF the conspiracy that ended In the death
Of the said Banquo.
"And the court will instruct you, gentle
men of the jury" he will undoubtedly
continue, "that the man who was back
of the conspiracy was just as guilty as the
mar who actually struck the fatal blow.
Nay, rather more, gentlemen Of the jury,
because It was In his cool and calculating
mind. without the, impulse OF Immediate
fear OF his own life, that this horrible con-
spiracy was Matched ont that the bloody
plot was conceived. that the hand that cut
the throat n battered the head Of the
noble victim was guided"
The honorable states attorney will then
launch into the defense Of circumstantial
evidence, for the case against Macbeth
must rest entirely on the circumstance
surrounding the dreadful crime.
n II Is almost an even bet that the
attorneys for the defendant win be able
to show TO the satisfaction of twelve mod
ern Jurors that not only was Macbeth
innocent Of any crime, but that he was
strangely Mortified when he heard OF 1t.
OF course there will be putterings around
about the corpus delecti. the resgestae
and the other horrid shapes that stalk
about court rooms and defeat justice, and
II he is shrewd in the art of inuendo, who
knows but the defendants counsel may
not fasten the crime upon the heed OF
the unfortunate son OF the victim. for as
Lennox sagely remarks, 'for F1eance
fled" n more could an up-to-date
lawyer want 10 hang q defense on, espe-
cially when the unwTitten law is too far
fetched to be pleaded even before q modern
jury.

Referring again to the boycott against
the Japanese, 1 talked with a leading bus
mess man from Shanghai. He told me
that the Chinese merchants had decided to
make Japan lose $50. 100000 on account of
its action in hat matter. and that they

Our Trade with Japan.

/ find our American goods popular in
Japan. They are to be seen In nearly every
shop on the chief business streets of the
big cities and often In the little stores of
the Japanese villages. These people are
buying more and more foreign goods. The
war with Russia taught the soldiers the
use Of shoes and the advantages of foreign
clothing. They learned to eat canned
stuffs, and as a result the masses are be-
ginning to buy such things.
There should be a big opening here for
American shoes. The army now wears
footgear Of foreign style. although 1t is
made in japan. In some Of the higher
schools shoes are required to be worn by
the students, and many of the girls are
adopting like footwear. 1 notice the ia
vorite shoe for men is the congress gaiter
with elastic sides. which can be easily
slipped off and on. This is popular be-
cause one always takes off his shoes when
he enters a Japanese house, hotel. club or
temple, or, indeed, any of the finer build
ings. The floors are covered with the
softest and cleanest of white mats, which
would be ruined by the nails of an Amer
lean shoe.
Japan is now taking a great deal Oh
leather from the United States. 1t buys
our calfskins and cowskins and also sole
leather. It. takes considerable wheat and
flour, canned goods of all kinds and the
greater part OF its kerosene oil.

discussions deal with the various markets,
