Tests for Things.
From the Columbus Journal.

FROM the columbus Journal.
In Chicago a moving picture operator
and chauffeur have to stand an exami-
nation and win a certificate before they
can act in their chosen fields OF duty.
The motor cycler should also be exam-
ined on the points of speed and noise, in
both Of which cases. SO very many OF
them are real annoyances to commu-
nifty. These tests should be applied with
vigor. All three positions bear a close
relation to the public welfare. They touch
the moral and material interests OF tho
people. government that is fndiffer-
ent to the rights of the public respecting
these employments Is a weak and
government. More and more
intelligent public authority sees Its duty
in respect to these great social appli-
ances that are so closely connected with
the thoughts and the habits OF the peo-
pie. The auto. the moving picture show
and base ball are introducing new sort
of civilization in this rollicking. world,
and great care should be taken lest the
people sufer grievously by the change.

1t Is impossible. because there is the re-

what We want. You know the scene! A

Sanitation in Berlin.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The announcement OF the practical
completion of Berlins gigantic system Of
sanitary sewerage and drainage calls az
tention to probably the most noteworthy
undertaking Of the kind In the world
which may we'll serve as an inspiring
example to many other communities
The work has taken nearly forty years
and has cost more than 100000 a.
year. Meantime the city has grown from
little more than a provincial town OF
$4,000 Inhabitants to q truly imperial
metropolis Of 2.i63. .000-a growth which
would scarcely have been possible with
out the achievement OF the work in Ques-
ton. Indeed. II is one OF the direct con-
sequences OF German Imperialism. When
the empire was created and Berlin was
made its capital that city felt that 1t
must show itself worthy of It's high es-
tate, and therefore it set itself about its
sanitation.
Mere figures concerning the hundreds
of miles OF pipes which convey the sew
age and drainage OF the city might not
lie edifying. What is more 20 the pur-

The much heralded "battle Of the

UMAT|LLA ADDS TO
JAP WAR SCARE
CONTRIBUTES INCIDENT
TO INCREASE UNEASINESS
jap Receives Big Spy Glass and
Leaves Town-Other Japs Are
Moving to the Coast.
lSpeclal correspondence J

Umatilla, Ore, March S0.-From
all over the Pacific coast come reports
OF Japanese activity. Rushing of
troops to the Mexican border, sup
posed to be a test of efficiency of army
maneuvers and mobilization against
invasion, coupled with the numerous
reports of spying, drillings, sons of
Nippon all along the coast, has deVel-
oped an American-Japanese war
scare. This is heightened by a recent
incident in this city which leads to
the belief that the japanese are par
ticularly active in this territory. IL
has been found out that a japanese
working for number of years in
Umatilla received spyglass Of large
caliber. Immediately after receiving
the same this Jap packed all his be
longings and started on his way tc
Japan.
Another point of vital Importance Is
the fact that all during the last weel
or ten days there has been a steady
movement of Japanese towards th'
coast. 1t has been limited by rumo'
that an imperial order commands al
Japs to the Pacific coast.
This is born out by the great mum
| bers seen on each train going west
none east. So far the greater mum
Der has come from the upper Colum
bia river valley. The significance o
this and the Jap with the spyglas
seems to indicate that in case of {
struggle the japanese will be exceed
ingly active along the Columbia riv
er and particularly so in the produc
ing section of the inland empire.
