JAPAN AND PHILIPPINES.

Every time a well defined japanese
war scare gets under way i'm this coun-
Try some wholly credible witness arises
to confound the jlngoes with the force
of his logic. The editor OF the Japan
Mail. resident of the empire for 40
years, former captain in the British
army and accredited correspondent of
the London Times. has this 10 say:
IT one were deliberate TO set one
self to the task Of finding some evil
dence of Japanese designs against the
Philippines. one would certainly arrive
at the conclusion that there is total
absence of any testimony OF the kind.
We believe for our own part that II
the Philippines were offered To Japan
as a free gift tomorrow she would hes
itate TO accept them, and II they were
offered 10 her at the cost of American
friendship she would treat the notion
as absolutely ridiculous"
1t would be generally conceded that
were Japan 10 desire the Philippines
she could take them-at what ulti-
mate expense no one would be brave
enough 10 conjecture. So far as that
nation is concerned the Philippines
constitute our particular vulnerable
point. To be told by one who ought
TO know and is professionally bound
not to deceive, that the empire does
not covet these islands, is reassuring. |
For. continues this close observer Of I
the Japanese at home that nation has .
enough TO do 10 develop Saghalien. /
Chosen, Formosa and Kwantung. TAX
ing the Philippines would greatly in
crease Japan's responsibilities without
any corresponding accession of wealth. /.
Nothing i'm the whole wide world is
ess conceivable than an armed quarrel L
)etveei Japan and the United States"
This statement of fact and obser- II
'ation, already strong, gains greater
orce from its complete harmony with
he sentiment expressed by all Japan's ,
tatesmen. /

Judge Sanborn gave ii as his opinion
that the railway rate legislation en-
acted by Minnesota did not aford a

because there are railway fields in
Minnesota that are none too heavily
populated and there the expenses OF

to the revenue realized

This is especially the season of the year

children there is to be felicitated. The

a little space-in the back yard, 1t may
be-for horticultural purposes. There is
no satisfaction quite the equivalent Of
that of making two ears of corn grow
where none grew before, or causing the
tomato plant or the bean vine to blossom
even as the rose beneath the careful nur-
ture of ones own aSsiduous hand.
A sign OF the times is such an in

is gratifying to be able to chronicle the
success of institutions which undertake
to give women instruction that reduces
to the rational and scientific basis the
culture of plants and flowers, and fosters
the appreciation of the advantages Of
life. God Almighty" said wise
old Bacon. first planted a garden and
certainly it is fitting that His children
should take and make occasion for re-
joicing in fresh fields and pastures new"
