Japan's Advances to America

Japan now comes forward with tenta-
five proposition for an alliance with this
country by which Japan and the United
States alone would profit, but one ''in
consonance with the principle of equal
opportunities for the commerce and in
dustry of ali nations" This may have
been offered to offset Secretary Knox s
proposition for a joint control of Man
churian railroads. The Knox plan was
rejected, and Japan shows her friendship
by suggesting an alliance.
This win be unacceptable, for the fixed
policy of this country is and long has
been to avoid entangling alliances with
European and Aslatic powers. The plan
Of Baron Takahira cannot be accepted
In the form in which It is presented, but
It may be given a form that will open
Manchuria to American trade.
After all not much is to be gained in
Manchuria if that province is to be filed
with Japanese immigrants and Japan is
to own its waterways. Japan is near at
hand and its mills and merchants know
how to meet the wishes of Manchurian
merchants. The talk of an open door
in Manchuria will probably prove illusory
while Japan is turning its surplus popu-
lation to corea and Manchuria.

Selection of a Rules Committee

The triumvirate which has been rejected
consisted of the speaker, Mr.. Dalzell of
In their place we are to have a rules
committee elected by the House-six of
the committee to be republicans and four
democrats. One of the four democrats
is to be Mr. Underwood by general con-
sent
The selection of the six republicans Is
the crux of the situation, and 1t IS a prob
lem that the republicans are trying to
solve. Revolutions do not as a rule go
backward, and majority of the entire
House certainly does not want six Can
nonites placed on the rules committee.
The defiant and abusive speech of Mr..
Cannon before the Illinois Republican as
ISOLATION shows that he proposes to DOM
mate the hOuSe-thaJ he wants no terms
of compromise and that he expects the
fun submission of the insurgents. He
will no doubt demand the selection Of
six faithful henchmen as members of
the new rules committee.
What the insurgents will do is prob
lem. If they go into the republican cau-
Gus they will be bound by its action, and
that caucus will select six Cannonites.
If they stay away from the caucus in
surgency would become third party,
and the war upon Cannonism would
go on.
The rules committee is TO be selected
within 10 days from Saturday last, but
caucuses will ne doubt be held this week.
The naming of the members of the rules
committee is the next step in the revo-
luton against Cannonism and all legis-
lative business in Congress will practi-
ca1ly be suspended until it is accom-
plished.

1t is a mystery to me-" said a
man who reads the papers, that people
do not learn to let the 'unloaded gun
alone. More lives have been ruined
by this kind of thoughtlessness than
any other and yet a day seldom passes
when an accident of this character Is
not recorded. With some people the
saying, 1T is the unloaded gun that
kills, has become a proverb. 1t seems
that the average person is never so
happy as when pointing a supposedly
harmless weapon at a friend and de-
handing His money or life Some
times they pull the trigsr and trag-
edy is the result. When I speak thus
mean full grown men who are sup
posed to be in possession of all their
faculties, not children who often do
not know better. 1t is surprising the
number of deaths that result from this
cause when you consider how easily
one could make the gun really harm
less. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure and in this case
would save many lives that are sacri-
