THEY KNOCK ON KNOX.
Japanese Newspapers Do Not Approve
of HIS Proposition.

Toxic, jan 8-The leading newspa-
pers in their issues of t morrow dis
ar"rove of the acceptance by Japan of
Secretary Knox's proposition for the
naturalization of the Manchurian rail-
ways. The consensus of opinion here
is that the plan is imnracticable be-
cause Japan would not receive bene-
fit proportionate with the sacrifice en-
tailed.
1t is held that the interests of the
Japanese settlers in southern Man
churia could not be protected under
such an arrangement. Official circles
remain noncommittal on the subject. It
is generally believed here that Russia
will decline to accept the American
suggestion.
The newspapers will point out that
the commercial neutrality of southern
Manchuria was guaranteed by the
treaty of Portsmouth.
The first information which the pub
lie had of the American note was con-
tanned in extended news dispatches
from Washington printed this morning.
They were unaccompanied with editor
fal expressions.
Although the members of the cabinet
/ and other government officials declined
to give the slightest intimation of their
official views, it may be stated with
| assurance that the japanese govern
ment is now comforting with Russia and
| the tenor of Japan's reply will depend
Petersburg. 1t is no secret that the
| Japanese statesmen regard the Ameri-
| can proposition as one which would be
| extremely difficult to work out in prac-
| tice. The authorities insist that the
attitude of their government is clearly
and sufficiently outlined in the Ports
mouth treaty, the provisions of which
| they assert always have been carried
| out scrupulously.
| There is no intimation of when Jap
| ans reply to the note will be forthcom.
| ing but there is reason to believe thai
| the government will not concede the
necessity of a change in existing con
| ditions, through which a claim of equa
| opportunity is afforded. unless, at least
| the contemplated project would giv'
the strictest guarantee for the future
| safeguarding of Japan's interests il
| Manchuria.
| The Japanese experts do not regard
| the construction of a railroad from
| Aigun in northern Manchuria to Chin
| Chow-Fu as practical business pro
position. In the American memoran.
| dunn Secretary Knox refers to the con.
| cession for such a line which was OBJ
| tanned sometime ago by a Syndicate Of
| Americans and Englishmen and adds
that the enterprise will be supported
| automatically by the American an6
British governments.

The Independence Tribune, publish
ed in Montgomery county, has the fol-
lowing well deserved praise for that
county's favorite son:
State Treasurer Mark Tulley re-
turned to Topeka Monday, after
spending part of the holiday season
with his family. The state is proud
of the way Mr.. Tulley is handling its
cash and securities. Each of the
quarterly investigations have demon
strated the wisdom of selecting him
for that office-there has been no
shortages-no scandals-no intima-
ton of wrong doing in any depart
ment. In fact the state treasury has
been run as steady as clock work and
up-to-date nc candidate has appeared
to contest Tulley and his record for a
nomination. This indicates his high
standing over the state.'

that these lands are in the renowned

At THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Considering the state of the Their
mometer. and the fact that its about
mid season for millinery, there vas a
good congregation yesterday at the
Baptist church. A former pastor, Rev.
c. II. Nash. being in the city. was in
vited by Mr.. Gabby to fill the pulpit
and preach the sermon. He took for
his text Cor BIS 'Beholding IN a
glass the glory of the Lord We are
changed into his image" The learned
doctor gave a forceful and interes ting
exposition of the text. His discourse
was interviewer with many apt and
beautiful illustrations and was listen
ed to by his audience with marked at
tention.
At the night service Rey Mr.. Gabby
preached to full house and followed
somewhat along the same lines as the
Rev. Nash in his morning sermon. A.

Mr.. w. r. Fisher, whose home is in
Auburn, y. Y but who occupies the
responsible and important position Of
general passenger agent of Harris Ok
lawaha boat line, was a caller in the
city yesterday. It was his first visit
and the town was a genuine surprise
TO him. He has been all over the
state. to all its resort towns and said
IL was the equal of any he had seen.
That our public square, courthouse.
government building and theater were
the equal of the best in the land and
his wonder was that Ocala was not
busy notifying the outside world and
the tourist travel Of her many pleas
ing and attractive features. Mr., Fish
er, who Is a very affable gentleman,
honored the Star with a call. He was
so taken with the town that he said
in the future he would see that Ocala
was placed on the Hart OklaWaha
route map and so arrange the tickets
another season that passengers would
not only come to the Springs. but in
stead of turning around with the boat
and take the trip back to Palatka,
they would extend II TO Ocala. Now.
here Is an important pointer. Ocala
should get busy and issue a neat and
attractive folder Of the Hart river
route and tell the patrons Of that ia
nous and well advertised line that
there is town just five miles west of
the Springs worth looking at and a
section of country that has no equal
IN the state. Mr. Fisher said there were
other towns in the state with no more
desirable features than Ocala that
were overrun with winter visitors and
II Ocala didn't get her share, it was
0ur 0Up fault II, said on the boa
he came up on there were half dozen
passengers who asked him If he knew
what kind Of place Ocala was and if
he thought IL would be worth their
while 10 extend their trip. Mr. Fisher
could not give them the desired infor-
nation. He said had he known then
what he knows now, the hotels OF
Ocala would have had half dozen ad
ditional guests over Sunday Now !e,
our people think this over and get
busy on Brick City publicity.
