WHERE JAPAN EXPECTS TO
 PROFIT.

There is no doubt the Russian bear is in very unapproacha.ble mood just now because of the Sulzer resolution and the sudden abrogation of the treaty of 1892.
 Those who think it may result in the boycott of American goods are Russian people who like American goods and demand them in such quan- titles that our exports to Russia far exceed our imports.
 The suspicion that this difference may strengthen the bonds of friend ship between Japan and Russia ap- pears to be well grounded since the two nations are now on terms of ever increa sing friendliness. Somehow each has come to believe that Russian and Japanese interests in eastern Asia are identical, instead of hostile And the cause is China Each wants a slice of that colossal and deeply shaken em- pfre. Each sees that friendship will best gain the coveted territory. Both now know that to work in stealthy concert is the only way to get results.
 The announcement of the first din Ter in St. Petersburg of the Russo Japanese society, at which the Japan ese ambassador and the Russian pre- mier exchanged the most significantly cordial toasts. is & reasonable basis to rest such a suspicion upon.
 These great games of diplomacy be- ing played by the nations are the out come of selfish love of power which bodes no good to the people.

UNFORTUNATE IN HIS FRIENDS.

The friends of Charles w Morse, the banker-convict, were deeply disap- pointed when President Taft declined 10 pardon him and are doubtless very angry with him.
 They do not recognize that their own conduct may have more te do with the refusal of the president than anything else The only inference was from their first start that they did not be- lieve the law or a prison was strong enough 10 hold man of his financial ability and wealth; and they have maintained that attitude consistently, while the people have been wondering and waiting to see if such a convict, had done no worse than others who went unpunished was able to triumph through any influence over justice.
 Charles ". Morse knew exactly what he was doing when he ignored justice. as 1t affected the lives and happiness of others. He thought nei- rhsr of them nor of his own family. He was merciless in his greed for noney and the power of it. The rights of others were ignored brutally. It became necessary by punishing him to serve notice on others of like char acter that the deeds of which he was guilty are rlor to be tolerated.
 There Is nothing more needed in the country than the dispellfng of the conviction Of rich culprfts that they can find a way out of prison when others cannot. Although President Taft has granted several hundred pardons. he recognizes that this case is not one which calls for cIemency, for the spirit of all connected with 1t from the start has been wrong

Sir: That public opinion. sooner or later,

sion. That this policy will be opposed by

Washington Jan. 30.--'rhe Presidents de-
termination to call an extra session in the
event OF the failure of Congress to act fa-
voraby on the Canadian reciprocity agree
meui was clearly intimated in his talks
with Senators and Representatives to-day.
IF the President Is of the opinion that the
| legislation necessary to ratify the Canadian
reciprocity agreement Is defeated In Con-
gress by hlibustering or legislative legerde-
deman. he will call an extra session. said
Representative Gillet after a conference
with the Chief Executive this morning
II believe the Canadian agreement is a
good thing" said Representative Mccall
when leaving the White House. I'm my
opinion the concurrent resolution ratlfying
the pact will be favorably reported this
week and passed by the House before
March L."
Representative Nye said OF the reci-
procity agreement. when leaving the execu-
tive offices: "I believe the pact will be

will work out satisfactorily. I am sure it
will pass the House promptly, once 1t Is

little possibility Of action on the agreement
at the present session and predicts an extra
session Of Congress.
Ex-Governor Lind OF Minnesota. after
some time with the President said the

The importation OF Canadian products, In
my opinion will not affect the prices Of
American goods"
Strong objection TO that provision in the
Mondell bill granting the right of appeal
to tho Supreme Court of tho District OF
Columbia in public lands cases was made
by Representative Taylor and ex-senator
Teller, who urged the President to use his
influence in having public land cases APP
peaied to the Circuit Courts instead OF the
District of Columbia Supreme Court. They
urged that the expense to land claimants IN
the West I'm coming TO Washington would
far exceed the value of the land in ques-
ton.

and girls, near Rome, Ga. Mr.. Taft haN-
