JAPANESE SOCIALISTS TRIED
AND EXECUTED IN SECRET

The first inside story of the
trial of and death of the IL JAP
anese socialists for an alleged plot
| to kill the mikado, has just come
out of Japan. 1t is story OF
suppression of news, brow-beating
of the public press, and it clearly
shows the little regard the brown
nation has for life or justice.
TOKYO, Japan, Feb. 4.-The
first intimation the japanese ma
ton had of the alleged crime
reached Japan from America ina
cable from New York, quoting a
Heading newspaper of that city.
The cable was addressed to a
Tokyo new sbureau and given all
of the important vernacular pa
pers, and, while this was startling
news and of prime Importance to
Japan, not a word was ever pub
lished in any japanese newspaper.
1t was very quietly suppressed by
1.-THE government.
| Not until the findings of the
court of. inquiry were made public
was any news published regard
| ing the supposed crime, nor did
anyone, not even those attached
to the press, know that there was
board of inquiry making inves-
| legations on any such subject. The
day before the public announce
ment of this courts findings, an
official notice was sent the press
of Tokyo, ordering the editors at
tendance on the procurator gem
eral.
At the office of this official. a
document was handed to each
press representative with emphat-
ic instructions that the publica-
ton of any further news than was
contained I'm this written and of.
ficia1 statement of the case was
strictly prohibited, and the adj
monition that any violation of
such instructions would be con-
lstrued as contrary to the press
laws of the country, which would
result in the filming and impris-
onment of the editors and publish
lers of any such newspapers.
The official statement of the
Iprocurator general gave the gov
lernment's side of the case only.
fhe history of socialism's prog
Iress in Japan is brief. The first
leffort was the formation, about
1897, of socialist society, by
ISen Katayama, Isoh Abe, Shusui
Kotoko and Fumio Yano. Its aim
was purely theoretical. Some
books wero published to propagate
the ideas, as the "Shin Shakai"
New Society by Yano. Essence
of Socialism" by Abe, Katayama
and Kotoko. But the workmen
for whom the new movement was
designed, did not pay any par
ticular attention to 1t: perhaps
they were not educated enough to
appreciate the real meaning Of the
movement.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. A.
Stories of peril, hunger and death
in the wilds of the Sierras are be-
ing told here today by the 100 pas
sengers who escaped from a
Western Pacific train which since
Saturday night has been stalled in
the snow near Virginia.
For five days the passengers
subsisted on meager rations on
board the stalled train, and then
made their way on foot to lower
levels to a relief train. Thomas
Kelly, an invalid, of Sierra Vile,
died in a wheel chair in which he
was taken through the snow.

The Pnobe Graft

The latest move On the part of the
state legislature in the way of in
vestigation is the appointment of a
committee composed of two senator's
and three representatives to investi-
gate the fishing industry and the
Office of the state fish commissioner
This committee is to report to the
governor before August /, 1911,
and each member of the committee
is to draw S. 90 a day from the state
for his work.
In order that it may not become
unpopular to have some sort of an
investigating committee at work all
the time it behooves its members to
find something crooked in the con-
duct of the fishing department, or
some imaginary wrong at least.
Should they fail in this it might
jeopardize the chances of others who
at some future time might wish to
get on one of these committees in
order to draw fat salary from the
state for work that seems to the
islander unnecessary and entirely
uncalled for. When this will have
all been completed who is to investi-
gate the work of the committee.
Judging from all that has yet been
accomplished it would seem more
necessary that the work of these
committees be investigated than it
was to conduct the original probe
into the management of the various
state offices. With a few fat
salaried positions in sight certain
members of the legislature seem to
work on the theory that all state
officers are dishonest. Whether or
not this be the case it is costing the
taxpayers of the state whole lot
ofamoney to satisfy the financial am
bltlons of a few hungry probe
specialists. This investigation alone
will cost the state far more than the
annual salary of the state fish COM
missioner and the taxpayers are not
likely to view with favor this ex-
penditure of public money. The
interests of the taxpayers do not
however seem to be considered in
these matters and will not so long
as majority of the members of the
legislature can be worked to find
positions for some of its probe graf
tiers. AS an example of all the good
that will likely be accomplished, the
committee appointed to investigate
the affairs of the land commissioners

West Side Horticulture

West Side Horticulturists, in SEES
sion at Everett, passed resolution
based on simple justice toward the
fruit-growers Of this part of the
state.
rhey ask that the legislature
provide far larger share of money
for agricultural investigation than
is now given to the western part OF
the state.
There is reason in the request.
In the first place, the West Side
taxpayers, comprising about two
thirds of the population of Washing
ton. contribute the lions share OF
the money for carrying on the affairs
of the state.
In the second place, as stated in
the resolution, the West Side offers
a field of great diversity, the logged
off lands in particular being sub
iect of pressing Importance.
Under the present system the
money appropriated for agricultural
purposes goes to the State College
at Pullman, with the result that the
experiments are largely Of value to
that part of the state. Western
Washington pays the bill in large
measure, but reaps little OF the
benefit. -Bellingham American.
