Good by, Korea

Necessity knows no law. and the axiom
is as true for nations as individuals.
That is the reason for the announcement
that at last Japan Is ready formally TO
annex Korea. and that as an independents
kingdom the latter passes out Of existence
forever. There is no one 10 protest. The
people Of the Hermit Kingdom are pow
erless to resist; Japan is established firm
ly on the Korean peninsula, and, to use
a popular expression, It is all over but
the shouting
There is sure to be some sentimental
regret expressed over the passing away
OF Korea's independence. There will be
on the part Of those who know something
at first hand OF the results OF Japanese
occupation OF Korea some doubts as to
whether the rule OF the conqueror will be
better than what has existed heretofore.
But the step the japanese are taking was
inevitable from the first. 1t became the
logical step when dispute about Japan's
rights and obligations in Korea brought
about war with China. It became in
evitsble when Korea was the bone OF
contention that brought about war with
Russia
1t is not so much that Korea is a rich
though undeveloped country as it is that
this peninsula is the natural highroad 10
the rich and fertile plains Of Manchuria,
which, in time, the japanese have got
10 do their part in developing. over this
territory, where the japanese army
passed in its march to meet the Rus
SLAMS at the Yalu. now must pass the
japanese army Of commerce and industry.
and it is march that must not be hin
dered. With the expansion OF modern
progress within the japanese empire has
come the need for more land for her
people; now that she has learned how to
live and to work. Japan needs elbow
room; she needs new fields of activity
FOR her younger sons. and il is in Korea
that they will find IT,
Korea has been deaf to the call of
modern progress. Until the opening OF
the Russo-Japanese war the title. The
Hermit Kingdom still applied with truth
TO her. and it was for this reason that
supinely and without struggle she saw
her Emperor made prisoner in his

Why Is a Pistol2

Why IS a plstol?" queries the Detroit
Free Press.
The inquiry is pregnant with food for
thought. If there we're no pistols, there
would be no pistol toters;" and II there
were no pistol toters" murder would
probably be reduced not less than 10 per
cent in this country.
It is the handy gun that is responsible
for nearly all of the felonious homicides
Men rarely murder deliberately. Kill
ings generally are the results Of imme-
date quarrels-or, at least, Of the imme-
date precipitation of some phases Of
differences of opinion. II the pistol were

indeed, would either party to contro-
ve=sy go far to obtain one for the pur-
pose OF wreadng vengeance upon the
other.
Judge Holt. Of the United States Dis
triot Court Of New York. writing in the
Independent. criticising the existing laws
against the carrying of concealed weap-
ons. says: Every good citizen obeys the
laws; every criminal. crank, and bad
boy disobeys them; and thus the law
abiding element is at the mercy OF the
law-breaking element" And all Of that
is quite true, of course; although the
forcefulness OF the terse statement is
somewhat weakened in fits direct ap-
plicauon when one reflects that as much
may be said OF any and every Iaw-the
upright citizen obeys; the criminalIy in
clined disobeys
But Why is pistol, anyway? Il is
just possible that we might get along
without pistols in this world One State

suing cxtradition papers for the re-
turn OF Mrs. Kramer from Rock
Spings, Wyo.. where she has Joined
her devoted husband.
Mrs. Kraimer was just clever enough
to avoid passing worthless check for
sums over $50 and thus she kept her
operations within the misdemeanor
list, and II Is tacitly understood THAI
extradition papers will not be honored
In cases OF misdemeanor II Mrs.
Kramer had passed one Of the checks
made out by the usual unknown for n
sum exceeding $50 the offense would
have constituted a felony. extradition
papers would have been issued
