A Sample Of Colorado Gall

The Colorado papers, in making
mention of the prizes Won at the
International Stock Show at Chi
cago, by the big Wyoming cattle
firm of Hunter, Casteel & Hunter,
of Big creek, in this county, plac-
es the firm in North Park, thus
giving the credit to the state of
Colorado. But this is nothing
strange, as the Colorado papers
refuse to publish anything COM
plimentary to this country unless
there is a chance for Color do to
either get the glory, or a share of
it. Hunter, Casteel & Hunter
are up In arms over this, as they
are a Wyoming C and have
no notion of bling classed as Colo

A Shortage in School Fund

The school trustees have made
the discovery that the law passed
by the last Legislature, limiting
the tax levy to 81 mills, is going
to cut the special tax fund short
and instead of having $500 they
will have but $500. This will
probably compel them to dispen-
Sc with one of the teachers or face
a heavy deficit at the end of the
year. They believe they can ar.
range to get along with only four
teachers after the Holidays.
The board anticipated an in.
creased attendance this year over
1910 and employed FIVE teachers.
Instead the enrolment fell off from
l2O to LOG, a shortage of IA. The
board saw it's mistake when too
late and finds itself with one too
many teachers and a shortage of
from $1,000 to $500 at the close of
the year. If the FIVE teachers are
retained, as now seems probable,
the term may be cut short a month.

Bad on Taxpayer. Good for Printer

A friend of the Republican has
sent us a copy of a South Dakota
ballot containing laws submitted
to the people in a referendum vote
1t is not as long as the usual South
Dakota ballot, but contains some
twelve pages of closely printed
matter. If Il voter attempted to
read it at the time of voting it
would take more than an hour.
Our friends asks for our opinion
upon the ballot. AS a citizen a d
taxpayer, the referendum is a
mighty expensive piece of business
and we hardly believe the additi
onal right to vote direct for the
laws would compensate for the
money expended. On the other
hand, as a printer, there can be no
question as to the advantage of
the referendum. The printing
bills of a state are doubled and
quadrupled by reason of the trem.
endous amount of pamphlet work
and extra ballots required. As a
taxpayer, we are against it; as
printer, we are for it. Guess we
will have to toss a coin to see
which way to vote.-Laramie Re-

GREAT WATER CARNIVAL
PLANS ARE PROGRESSING

Active preparations have begun Oh

parade that will feature the evening

this and on the great water carnival

ty are on the committee planning the
harbor festival, while the others are
the lantern parade committee.
Reports we're received showing that
much progress has already been made
and from all accounts there will be
many thousand Japanese in line this
year. Moreover, the floats are to be
much more elaborate than last year
and several distinct novelties will be
featured.
The carnival at the harbor, taken
in conjunction with the performance
.of "Pinafore" that is to be given in
the naval slip on the decks of the good
ship Mohican, is going to be certainly
the most spectacular thing ever seen
here. While only an outline has been
made of the plans, Director Wall says
that several score of sampans, power
craft of various kinds, canoes and row.
boats will be in line, and the num-
Der of individual boats will probably
be well over a hundred.
Decorated, festooned with gay Ian
terms, bunting and horal wreaths, 1T
up by perfect cascade of fireworks,
the procession of these boats in and
out, around the harbor and encircling
the ship before the performance of
."Pinafore' and between the acts, will
be a marvel of beauty.
Director Wall will soon be ready to
announce the cast and chorus for the
rendition of the popular Gilbert & Sui
Ivan light opera The cast will in
clude the best talent in Honolulu and
the chorus will be both large and COM
petent.

method of keeping the demand at a
maximum"
Speaking of relics of the late Rus
sian-Japanese war, Mr.. Goethe states
that the temples are used as store
houses for the grim reminders Of the
late terrible conflict. He says:
at is no easy matter in Japan 10
find a temple that has not some col
lection Of relics of the war. Cannon,
torpedoes, shot and shell are every
where. Such an exhibit at an Amer
lean church would seem a strange
mixture Of peace and war But the
japanese dash and daring that won
the conflict is the result of centuries
of religious training along Shinto
lines. One of the most Impressive
of these war trophies is at the sacred
island in the inland sea, Miaiima,
whose water tonic is known the world
over. Thousands of pilgrims are con-
tinually visiting the floating temples.
Right in the midst of their hallowed
precincts is a mast from one of the

Japan is just as eagerly awaiting
the completion of the Panama canal
as the Americans, for they believe
that the nation will be richer on ac-
count of the increased shipping facil-
tiles.
Baron Kimotsuki has published a
statement" says Mr.. Goethe, Of what
Japan expects from the Panama ca
nal. The article compares the ration
Of Britain's trade to the upkeep OF
her navy with that of Japan, and
makes the deduction that Japan must
make an increase of 50O,OOO,OOO yen.
He then shows their view of the
changes which the canal will make in
the worlds commerce, and computes
estimates from this source alone that
3OO,OOO,OOO Yen annually will flow into

snow-clad mountains coming down TO

Both Alaska and the Inland sea

ten from that country to the Union
by g. NJ. Goethe of this city. Com
menting upon the empires expansion
along commercial lines and the grow
ing need of regulation in the hours
of labor for women and children in
the factories, Mr.. Goethe says:
"Japan's entry into the world as a
world power, her increase of manu-
featured articles for export in third
of century from half million yen
to one thousand times that amount
has brought with it all the horrible
features of modern factory life-child
labor, the labor of women for Excess
sive hours and the overworking of
-(men.
The factory whistles at Osaki
blow at a. m. and the days work
runs from 6 to in most of them.
The industrial growth is wonderful
much of the product goes to America,
for we buy one dollars worth of every
three dollars Of Japan's exports, al
though we sell her only one dollar
for every seven she buys abroad. The
factories are interesting. One of them
turns out toothbrushes only. 1t is
owned by Americans and was built
by American capital But Japan has
many social problems ahead. Much
the same as ours-as the child labor
in the cotton mills of the south and
the glass factories of Pittsburg, and
the coal mines of Wilkesbarre."
Japan, too, has her breweries, and
her people are becoming a nation of
beer drinkers. This industry is MAX
ing rapid strides, according to Mr..
Goethe, who writes:
"At Kobe you become aware of your
approach to the mainland by changes
in the hotels wine list. You can find
added to French champagne, English
ales, Irish stouts, the wines of the
terraced Rhenish vineyards, and the
