JAPAN AND
HER DEBT
By c. c. CLARK.

bg ~ -. NlAAINh.
When Captain Hobson goes before
the American people and tries to scare
them into believing that America is
threatened with Japanese invasion,
and when the writer's of fitcion con-
tinually haunt the magazine readers
with imaginary wars between America
and Japan, they show a crudeness OF
perception, or lack of knowledge, that
is surprising to those who know the
real conditions existing in Japan to-
day.
To begin with Japan has learned a
bitter lesson in her two wars both OF
which she carried to a successful is
sue. Before the Japan-Russian war;
the Japanese people were taxed heavily
but they carried their load patiently,
for they had not been tripped to the
hide of the fruits of a former victory,
but now they were going to make Rus
sia pay the fiddler. When the war
was ended and the treaty of Ports
mouth signed, Japan found herself
without even hide. She had been
victorious ON land and sea, but now
found herself without money to carry
on the government and foreign bank
ers looking askauce at the securities
she had to offer. Today Japanese Sc
curities are going begging in every
capital in Europe.
No doubt, under some circumstances
there might be grounds for fearing q
Japanese invasion, as there are hot
heads, and plenty of them, in power IN
Tokyo, but their hands are tied as
securely as any prisoner-they have
no money.
Since 1900 when the national debt
of Japan was yen 2.1S sen per capita,
equalling 6.O9 gold, the different min.
istries have been adding taxes here
and there to meet expenditures and
pay the interest on loans, but never
in a single instance has there been any
substantial decrease in the national
debt. The following will show the in
crease of taxes and also of the ma
tional debt since 1900.
Tax Debt
per capita per capita
1900. O................yen 5.36 yen 1918
1905. yen $50 yen As. As
1907 7................yen 9.76 yen 4S SO
1906. o...............yen .S2 yen 49. .29
The total burden per capita of yen
16.9 80 in 1899 was increased in 1908 to
yen 60 O2. At the end of 1908 the ma
tional debt stood at yen 2,276, 6,OO0,O 900.
Ii was officially estimated that the ma
tional debt would be decreased last
year, but instead at the end of Sep
tember it was yen 2,6O6, ,2S2, ,321 or an
inrcease of about 33v million yen.
The question of Japan raising money
to carry on another war is so prepos-
terious as hardly to be worthy a
thought, no matter how much they
might desire it. The present minis
try are pledged to a systematic re-
trenchment in all departments, but the
debt is so enormous that to pay the
interest has proven a mighty task
and the problem of decreasing the deb
has yet to be solved.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT
SPANISH BULL FIGHT

Malaga. July 6.-Another dreadful
accident in a Spanish bull ring has
occurred at Alhaurin.
Peasants from many miles round
crowded there for a special display
by a famous company of bull fight
ers. Some exceptionally fine animals
were being paraded 'in the arena
prior to the first engagement, and the
spectators stamped their feet in the
enthusiastic foreign way in approval
of their fierce looks.
At that moment the supports un-
der the top tier of seats gave way,
and in few seconds half of the
stands were in ruins. The shrieks
and groans of the people so appalled,
the officials that they completely lost
their heads. Three bulls stampeded
over the helpless victims before the
attendants were able to control them.
One bull had to be killed.
Eleven persons were eNtricated in
a dying condition and forty of them
with more or less serious injuries

THE NOTORIOUS FIFTH.

This is the day
When the little boy next door,
Who has always had a penchant for
peeking into things,
Is seen resting on the front porch
In bandages,
Explaining to group of admiring
friends
Just how he thought the cannon was
MT going off
When he blew
Down the touchhole.
This is the day
When the old cat
Drags herself out from under the
barn, looking like a hair mat
tress after a cyclone.
And examines her tail to see if il is
all on
And then,
With a rueful smile. takes
A quiet, unobtrusive sneak into the
coal cellar.
Where there aren't any squibs or
Firecrackers.
This is the day
When old Mr.. Henderson.
Who lives two houses down the street
And whose horse ran away last night
when the skyrocket came down
in the alley.
Says that he's going to prosecute
EN- in the courts.
BY George!
And If l don't get damages it's be-
cause
There amt any Justice in the state,

| This is the day
When everybody from grandma down
Wakes up cross and out of sorts,
When pa goes to his office in a
grump
And ma says she'll be blest If she
ever tries to make any more ice
cream with that old
Ice cream freezer.
And Aunt Het wonders
Why on earth people are so foolish as
to think they're having a good
BY burning up money in
| Gunpowder
This is the day
When your mouth tastes of pink lem
onade,
When you wish that peanuts had
never been invented,
| When you hold hard feelings toward
the man who got up that parade
in the morning,
| When you feel as though you'd like
to get grip around the neck of
the smart Alec who got up the first
exploding cane

And, lastly.
This is the day
When your kid brother.
With rag around his left hand
And wearing blue spectacles,
Goes stamping around the back yard
whistling and looking for fire
crackers that didn't explode
And wishing
That every day
Was
