THAT JAPANESE. AMERICAN WAR
Chicago Record-Herald.

General Jake" Smith is comparative
ly moderate and sensible I'm his talk of
the unpreparedness of this country for
war with Japan. He admits that there
Is little probability OF trouble, and that
even the little probability IL being re-
moved by rational diplomacy, There
are some warriors and civilians who
are more excited, more violent more
alarmed. To them war with Japan is
imminent inevitable, and they exhort
US in stentorian tones or black capitals
10 "act'-somehow. somewhere, every
whore. We are told that II Japan
wished 10 grab the Philippines and
Hawaii she could carry out that fell de-
sign before we could say Jack Robin
son" Well what OF that? Who has
accused Japan OF insanity? Why should
she grab those possessions and thus
make bitter enemies of the United
states and Europe7 What could she
gain by such aggression And as
Stunning that there would be some gain,
where would she obtain the real sinews
of war--funds-in a conflict with the
United States Would London or Paris
or Berlin take her bonds to finance a
wanton war against us7

HARDLY EDIFYING.

To the outsider II would appear as
though there were lack OF harmony
existing at city hall. Apparently the
viewpoint OF the police department
and the city attorney on matters per-
tanning to public morals Is variant.
The city attorney Is at present en-
gagged in the Iaudable endeavor OF at
tempting TO close the Infamous
"stockade" permanently. To the indi-
vldual with ordinary intelligence 1t
would appear as though the chief OF
police is doing his best, or worst. to
see that the plague spot is unmolest-
ed.
BY a striking coincidence whenever
the city attorney has issued a score
or so of warrants for the arrest OF the
inmates OF the unspeakable place the
chief OF police has been "powerless"
10 make an arrest. because before his
officers could arrive on the scene
darkness has reigned and the harpies
have flown Even the trained detectives
OF the police force have been 'foiled"
In their attempt to arrest the women
subsequently.
II would doubtless be unklnd 10
state that there is a telephone line
connecting Mrs. Dora Tophsm's office
in the stockade with the desk OF the
chief OF police.
So elusive are these women that the
principal witness against Mrs. Topham
has mysteriously dropped out OF sight,
and the police apparently do not care
whether she ever comes back.
In the meantime the trial drags on.
Mrs. Topham arrives In a green taxi
cab at police headquarters every
morning and is greeted by smiling
lieutenant OF police who opens the
door Of the office OF his chief and
bows her into the seclusion of the
private quarters where she remains
until her case is called. rather than
sit IN the police court among the law
breakers like any other defendant.
The chief OF police, too. seems to
hold different views 20 those of the
city attorney and the majority of the
residents and taxpayers OF this city
regarding the occupation OF this Mrs
Topham The chief, under oath yester-
day afternoon. In answer to a question
on the part OF the prosecuting at
torney blandly said MY understand
ing is she (Airs. Topham) is renting
rooming houses. that is houses for
rooming purposes"
This Is not the only feature OF the
case either. Yesterday an officer Of
the salt Lake police force testified
that he received a stipulated sum
every month from the stoekAde peo-
pie as recognition OF the added re-
sponsibility OF his beat, which includ-
ed Mrs Topham's headquarters.
All Of which Is very elevatlng
spectacle for the taxpayer and some
thing which the American" party
ought to feel is hardly as It should
be.

WHAT ISOLATION COSTS POPE,
Boston Transcript.


The consistency OF the popes in cling
ing to their self-imposed isolation in
assertion OF their policy is impressive,
for II entails their refusal of the trib-
ute which the kingdom OF Italy is will
ing to pay out OF respect to their spir-
itual character. Every year the Italian
parliament votes an appropriation OF
ss45. 900 to be placed at the disposal OF
the pope 20 maintain his dignity, and
TO be expended generally for the main
tenance of his court Every year the
pope as regularly refuses to receive his
allowance lest its acceptance should
negative his claim to be a temporal
prince in his own capital. This pro-
cess OF appropriation and rejection has
been kept up ever since 1871, when par
lament guaranteed to the pope and his
successors forever the Vatican and Lat
eran and Castel Grandolfo, and voted
the first allowance. The aggregate OF
these appropriations is now in excess OF
5000. 900. all Of which is held subject
to the pope's order.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let 1t stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling usually
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. Too frequent desire to
urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back; should also con-
vince you that the kidneys or blad-
der are out of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort In the knowledge
so often expressed that DR.. Klmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy. fulfllls almost
every wish In relieving pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold urine, and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-
ant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night
to urinate.
The mild, pleasant and extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon re-
allied. It stands the highest for it's
wonderful results in the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine, you should have the best. Sold
