JAPAN AND MEXICO.

Now comes the sensational story
that the real reason for the mobiliza-
ton of our troops was to back Mex
ico's refusal of naval base on Mag
dalena island to Japan.
The desire of our yellow neighbors
for station on this side of the Pa.
cific will give some comfort to the
Hobsonites in their declining years.
This does not necessarily mean, how
ever, that the guns are likely to begin
to play.
Our government has had a naval
base in the Philippines now for thir-
teen years, but we have not yet seized
the emperor of China by the pig tail,
nor begun to drag him around the
back yard. Probably We shall not do
so.
AS world power, Japan as natur.
ally desires a naval station on this
side the water as we wished one on
the other. However, most Americans
will regret to see her established so
near us. Probably her warships would
be more profitably employed in haul.

FAIR WEATHER PATRIOTS.

The hotiy fought Chicago city cleo.

While the shivery rain that fell Tues
day in Chicago could not probably
have changed the result, the political
arithmetic men think it cut Professor
Merriams vote away below the figures
he might have expected on a pleasant
day.
An old tradition is to the effect that
fair weather favors the republicans,
stormy weather the democrats. The
democrats, according to the theory
are used to getting their feet wet
while the republicans are Frustrated
by so dreadful calamity.
However this may be, it is worth

And yet it would take an earthquake

The modern patriot is developing a
catlike preference for the soft cushion

THE PERIL OF THE FOG.

The plight OF the famous steamer
Princess Irene last week, ashore In a
fog at Fire island, near New York, H.
Illustrates how the grisly terror Of the
fog overshadows the life Of the sea-
goer.
The more anyone knows of the sea
and its mysteries, the keener the ap-
prehension as to what may happen
when the ghostly mist settles over the
watery landscape. Well do we recall
the differing attitude of the land Tub.
Der passengers and the seafaring ma
tives, as seen one night a few years
ago on Nova Scotia steamship.
The land lubbers were leaning over
the rail in hopeless misery from a
stomach tangler of a vicious chop,
while the native element on the boat
were clipper as you please. AS the
fog rolled in, and the anger of the
waves faded off in a sullen roll, the
land lubbers frightened up, while the
natives grew downcast, as the melan.
choly knell of the fog whistle rolled
over the quivering surf. They alone
knew what it meant.
The Princess Irene passengers were
taken off by life boat with no damage
except TO their feelings. A different
location for the disaster and a fiercer
temper OF the waves might easily have
created a grim sea tragedy.
Thanks to the wireless, man navi-
gates the ocean with comparative
safety, but science has yet to find a
way to avoid the illimitable menace of
fog.
The great Atlantic ferries are used
so largely by business men that the
spirit of the age compels these ships
to run on the principle of railroad
time table. A wait Of an hour for the
fog to roll by would create a howl
from the smoking room like when the
7:45 a m, is delayed on it's morning
| journey from Commuterville. 1t is the
man who catches the fish for your
Sunday morning breakfast table that
suffers the worst from the express
train habit as applied to steamships
He may look up from his lines at any
| moment to see the side Of house ad
yancing twenty miles an hour on his

THE CAMORRA.

The frightful story of Italian treach-
cry now being told on the witness
stand by Abbatemaggio, the Camorrist
informer, leads many people to de-
nounCe the Italian character as es-
sentially treacherous, expressing itself
by the swift pass Of the stiletto on
the dark street.
Italy has black record for homi-
eide. 1t is about II per 100000, the
worst figures in Europe. And yet
right in New York City the homicides
of a recent year were 20 per 100000.
In Girgenti, typical region of Sici-
ly, the homicides reached the astonish-
ing proportion of So per 100000. But
in Mantau, typical North Italy city
there were less than 2 per 100000.
This contrast seems to establish the
fact, that the Italian race is not ne
cessarily given to the stab in the
dark.
The prevalence OF murder is said
by social scientists to be directly pro-
portioned to the efficiency of public
education. The United States with a
population about two and one half
times that of Italy, has been spending
about seventeen times as much money

NORTH NEBRASKA JUSTICE

II is not good policy to commit muir.
der or other crime in north Nebraska
at the present time. There was con
siderable comment at the time of the
Crippen trial in England approving
swift justice meted out in the courts
of John Bull, but when one looks at
the record it is apparent that the
courts OF north Nebraska are quite as
prompt and sure in their treatment of
criminals.
Quick Justice in five notable murder
cases in northern Nebraska has been
dealt out within the past year and
four men and one woman convicted
OF murder have been sentenced to
prison, one Of them for twenty-five
years and the other four for life, the
conviction in each case being secured
within six months from the date of
the crime.
Joe Mckay OF Antelope county, viii.

sons who have been sentenCed-all OF
them for life except Rifenberg, who
was first sentenced to hang and, hav.

last week at Ainsworth and was sen.
fenced to twenty-five years.
