The frequent and recently repeated
rumors of trouble between the United
States and Japan furnished the theme
for statement made by the viscount.
which was as follows:
1T Is matter Of regret with me
that Americans are so easily excited
over rumors of trouble OF which there
Is not the slightest possibility The
recent reports Of trouble over sup
posed Mexican land concession is
case in point. 1t Is perhaps not un-
,explainable that such things should
be reported to be going on, but that
30 large part of the American peo-
pie should believe a rupture between
the two countries imminent Is the
strange part OF 1t. In my country
nothing like this ever happens. The
people believe the two nations are
friends and that they will remain so.
which Is certainly the truth about the
matter.
One OF the most certain assur.
ances OF continued friendly political
relations is the constant growth OF
the Importance of the commercial re.
lations OF the two countries. This
growth appears nothing short OF mar.
vellous when you are familiar with a
few years OF the history OF Japan
For instance, 35 years ago came to
this country to attend school at the
De Paw university In Indiana. where
| graduated In 1881. came on what
! believe was British ship OF about
1000 tons displacement, We made
no stop and the voyage required %
days. Recently came to this coun.
try as ambassador I travelled In
Japanese ship of 81 1000 tons displace
ment We were In touch constantly by
wireless telegraph with Yokohama
and with San Francisco. we touched
at Honolulu. and the voyage was
made In IS days. | would not predict
that We are soon to rival England and
Germany as a maritime nation, but we
are doing very we'll and the better
We do the greater will be our com
merce with the people OF the United
States"
Our merchants are now locking
forward to the opening OF the Panama
canal as meaning the assurance OF
greatly increased trade with America
Our purchases OF machinery for our
railroads and our purchases OF cleo
trical machinery are very large and
! think destined to grow much larger
in the near future. Since Japan opened
Its doors to the people Of the Western
world there has never been time
when the people felt otherwise than
friedly to the United States, and the
growth of commerce is destined to
make their feeling OF friendship grow
and not dimish"

Miss Ida Hornsby Wins Scholarship.

The papers of the several contestants
in the competitive examination for the
State Normal scholarship have been trans

Normal, after grading, to Supt. Wade,
and show that the highest average was
made by Miss Ida Hornsby, to whom
therefore will he awarded the scholarship.
However, it is worthy of note that the
grades of the three contestants differed
only few points and were on the whole
decidedly above the average.
In common with her many friends, the

such as TO absolutely outweigh any little

ent teachers when they correct papers.
There can be no doubt that No. 5, on
the average, has submitted the better
paper.

however, without complimenting all three
students and congratulating the schools
and communities from which these young
people have come.
Assuring you that we have been very
happy to cooperate with you in this

to you, remain,
