PREDICTS WAR.

William Randolph Hearst Ga now out
with prediction that We are to have
war with Japan That IL neither
J original nor new. II Is the croaking
! Of every bird OF IN omen that is on
the wing for prey II Is the forecast
Of everyone interested In working up
the war hysterla that is necessary for
extravagant naval appropriations.
Mr. Hearst says Japan wants the
Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands.
That is probably true japanese states
men are fond OF comparing their coun-
try TO Great Britain. and they are un-
doubtedly dreaming OF the possibility
Of world-encircling Japanese empire,
somewhat after the pattern Of Great
Britain. but Japan IL not going to
risk a war with the United states for
the realization of vague dream. And
furthermore. the other powers are not
going tu supply Japan with the neces-
say funds for such war and let
that country get hold OF the key to the
Pacific. That is reasonably certain.
Mr.. Hearst also says that the friend
Is assurances of Japan are not genuine.
That country was never more friendly
In its diplomatic relations to Russia
than the day before she fired the first
gun that opened the hostllities.
This is also true. But It Is TO be
remembered that Japan has no griev-
ance against the United States. And
there must be casus belli as an ex-
cuse for war. In the case OF Russia,
that country had solemnly agreed
to withdraw from Manchuria after GER
tain things had been accomplished.
But instead OF Withdrawing IL prepared
for permanent stay. Japan's demands
that Russia fulhll her pledges were
treated with contempt. Then the war
came. There IS no excuse for an at
tack upon the United states. And there
A., therefore Absolutely nothing upon
which to base a prediction that war
viii come. To do so without any foun-
dalton in fact is mere sensatlonalism.
But for all that Il would he folly to
say that war with Japan Is impossible
II may be possible and yet not pro-
bable at this time But II It breaks out
It viii be a war In which the powers of
the world will align themselves on
either side II will be a war for the
trade Of tho world and not merely for
the possession OF few islands II
will be the West against the hords Of
Asia And there will be a veritable
Armageddon. But not in the Inn
mediate future.

CUBAN sTATEsMANsHIP.
Cleveland Plain Dealer,

A gentleman from Santiago shot at a
gentleman from Pinar del Rio In the
Cuban house OF representatives. True
To- the traditions OF Spanish mark
manship the bullet went wild. but
came very near perforating another
honorable gentleman who was busy
enacting the role of innocent bystnder.
The gentleman from Pinar del Rio
who was shot at Is a journalist. His
newspaper had printed comment that
was not agreeable to the gentleman
from Santiago. With true latin In
stinct for the picturesque and theatri-
cal, the Santiago gentleman selected
the chamber of legislation as the most
Oppressive place for murder. Such
things as this. and they are not so in
frequent, tend to shock the American
idea Of what n self-governing republic
should be- But Americans who have
gone 90 cuba and observed the Gu
bans are not surprised at all. The best
conclusion, however. Is that Cuba
should worry along with its revolu-
tons and assassinations az best II may.

be- an intolerabie nuisance for genera
tions to come. At present the Cuban
brand Of statesmanship. with its graft

Cubans deserve.

BRYAN WAS MUCH

Felt Worse Over Defeat Be-
cause of Losing Past
Ardent Supporters.

Grand Island, Neb., July IS
Hardly can echo of yesterdays demo-
cratic state convention was heard to-
day. Most of the delegates left the
city on late night trains and the few
stragglers got away this morning Mr.
Bryan himself was among the first to
leave and declined to speak of last
nights occurrences before starting for
home, except to refer interviewers to
his convention speech.
1t was apparent that he had antici-
pated the action of the convention,
and if he felt any chagrin he did not
manifest it after the adjournment.
A close friend of the former leader,
however, stated that Mr.. Bryan's par
ticular disappointment was in the
boiling from his standard of many
men who had been ardent supporters
in the past. No intimation of what
might be his future actions politically
could be secured either from Mr..
Bryan or his friends who might be
able to speak for him.

KOREANS T0RES|ST.
ANNEXATION
Will Oppose Annexation of
Their Country by
Japan.

Toxic, July 2S.-The annexation
of Korea by Japan, which will prob
ably be accompanied by a great up
rising of the Koreans, according to
predictions made here, is expected
by the middle of August. This in
formation was obtained from authori-
tative source. japanese officials have
been quietly preparing for the ANAL
gamation of Korea as part of the
Japanese empire and although they
will not discuss the intended move,
high officials admit privately that
serious trouble will follow the loss
of identity by the Hermit Kingdom.
According to dispatches from Ha-
waii, 800 Koreans, members of the
anti-Japanese league, have left there
for Korea to head a revolt. 1t is
reported that scores of Koreans in
the United States and Mexico also
are planning to reenter Korea and
have made arrangements to purchase
arms and supplies and ship them to
the Korean coasts to aid the rebels.
Koreans are secretly arming to
prevent annexation, it. is reported,
and it is reported that annexation
cannot be accomplished without
bloOdshed.

MURDOCH GOT TIP
FROM LILLY
Gave Him Intimation That
Something Was Wrong
in Congress.

Ottawa, Kan, July 2S.-Congress-
man Victor Murdoch, in a speech
here, said Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
had been a standpatter ever since he
had been in congress.
Don't let anybody fool you about
this man Cannon" Murdoch said.
He was against the resumption of
specie payment, thing we had for
gotten long time. He was opposed
to any regulation of railroads; he OPP
posed the Hepburn bill; he fought
the pure food law. His friends and
associates are those who have waxed
fat off special interests, and Cannon
believes in letting we'll enough
alone"
Mr.. Murdoch told his hearers his
attention was first directed to the
Cannon organization because of it's
power to finish it's enemies.
1T was the case of Lilly of Con-
necticut," he said. lone day I was
walking down the street with Con-
gresham Lilly and he said:
L wonder if the people will ever
get on to this crowd?'
That was the first intimation /

wrong in congress.

into this fight, but they brought Jos.
G. Cannon to Kansas and Cannon at
tackled cause near to my heart.
He was brought here to abuse

pose to tell the people of Kansas

At a cost of something over $780,

pany Of Spokane is to construct an
irrigation system to water about 500
acres for a commercial apple orchard
