THE ANSWER TO JAPAN

The answer of state department to the
demand" of Japan good deal of a joke But
it was joke to have the Japanese ambassador
say to the Secretary that he would wait in his of
fee for a reply to his peremptory demsnd, and TO
Secretary Bryan trot to the Cabinet meet
ing and then trot back to give account to the
waiting autocrat of the result of his errand.
The points made in the reply as stated in the
dispatches, constitute, first, plea for delay
ond, the surprising statement that since Governor
Johnson had not yet signed the bill nothing could
be said about IT, obvious fact, but rather irrita
ing under the circumstances, since Governor John
sons purpose to sign 1t Is thoroughly known. Third
founded upon the proposition for delay, the sug-
gestion is made that in Governor Johnson
does sign the bill, there should be series of pour
pftlers, or diplomatic conferences to treat of the
whole matter.
The reply, therefore, is technical and evasive.
1t is, however precisely the sort of reply that ought
to have been made to Japans bumptious asserive.
and arbitrary assumption of superior right,
long before, in this matter.
1t Is plain that japan is and has been running
sorry buff upon the United States; and 1t Is hu.
initiating to see our President and Secretary of
State cringe and truckle to Japanese arrogance
But 1t be safely assumed We have no doubt,
that when the pinch comes the American backbone

IF JAPAN FOUGHT US
Some of the people who are worrying about
the drubbng the little brown men are going to give
Uncle Sam might feel different would they make
study OF the hard times prevailing in Japan.
After the wa with Russia the Japanese gov.
eminent set out to create economic independence
partly through protective tariff and ship subsidies
but more particularly by direct government aid to
manufacturing. Companies with capital aggregat
ing hundreds of millions were organized. The gov
eminent guaranteed the interest payment on many
of these.
Fer the time being this created fictitious ap.
pearance of prosperity. Within the past year.
however, it is that nation like an individu-
al can't lift itself by its bootstraps. The
growth of manufacturing towns has led to the de-
pleton OF the agricultural districts. There are
great sections where there are abandoned farms
like those on the wornout hills of New England
The result has been distressing advance in the
cost Of rice and half ratons among the poor.
The condition of the Japanese farmer has be-
come pathetic In bad years his rice field brings
him in s24 per acre, which it cost $50 to produce
Even in exceptionally good years, he does not clear
more than 81 so per acre, Eghtyfve per cent OF
the farms are mortgaged.
The income of the Japanese people averages
about 1923 per capita Their taxes take 81 40 out
OF this $23. They are not in very good shape to
invest in the costly playthings Of war! 1t will take
the Japs generation to carry off the burdens of
the Russian war. and to adjust themselves to the
costly scale of living of modern civilization
Won Moltke once said that he knew 1000 ways
to get German army into England, but not
to get It out. How much more true this would be
in case of Japanese attack on this country

More Balkan Trouble.

The hope that the second Balkan peace
agreement. between Turkey and Bull
garia. would settle the troubles in that
part Of the world for period Is rudely
dispelled by the outbreak of hostilities
between Servia and Albania and the
mobilization of Seryian troops and the
preparation of Greece for war. 1t was
really inevitable that sooner or later the
animosity of Servia toward Albania, bred
In the failure of the powers to consent
to the extension of the Servian territory
following the first Balkan war, would
develop into an active state of antago-
nism. But il was not believed that the
outbreak would come so soon. The prep
arations of Greece for participation in
this new campaign indicate that the trou-
Bile is a grave one. reaching practically
to all the Balkan states.
Had Bulgaria played fair with its allies
of the first war there would today be
some reinsurance that the Balkan trou-
bles were ended for some time to come
But the bad faith shown by the govern
ment at Sofia precipitated a condition
that may continue TO plague the powers
of Europe indefinitely. The part played
by the powers themselves Is not reassur-
ing In truth. In the whole Balkan at
fair they shave shown an evident anxiety

growing out of the Payne law by dec1d-
Ing to make q second attempt at the
schedules which had provoked the angry
controversy 1t would probably have car
ried the Sixty-second House. and that
would have insured success again last
year. Mr.. Cannon would have received
another term as Speaker. and Mr.. Tart
second term as President.
But the republican mad was up In
stead of an adjustment within the party,
an adjustment without took place. and
control of the House was surrendered to
the democrats, and the way paved for
the election of a democratic President.
1t is useless to talk now about 1915.
If the. republicans and the proSressives
fight each other next year as they did in
1910, with similar result at the polls.
they will play into the hands of the
for 1912 That is to say. If through the
continued division of the republicans the
democrats carry the next House. the
latter will be SO greatly strengthened for
1916 that something approaching a
miracle will be necessary to dislodge
them.
So far as the tariff is concerned the
issue will be sharply drawn. While the
Underwood revision is not a free trade
measure In all Of it's provisions it is
anti-protection in principle. and its au-
thors are hoping for complete and early
elimination Of protection from the ma
tional scheme of taxation. Protectionists

Pile for which they profess an attach

didates meet, and the nature of that his
tory will go far in determining the candi-
dates that will be then named.

Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve.

All. good old song, who could conceive
That we should miss you so,
a melody of years gone by.
In it's refrain we hear
No futile loves regretful sigh,
But friendship and good cheer
The days may come, the days may go
And joys may bloom or fade;
No pleasure we can hope to know
Like that old serenaGe
When voices good and bad forthwith
In tuneful make believe
Together mourned the sweetheart

Dear Mistress Genevieve
AS onward fly the hooking years
Through scenes of empty show
We weave with threads Of hopes and
fears
The dreams of long ago
And none more blissful than the times
When, ere we took our leave,
GOOD fellows all, in tender rhymes
We sang Of Genevieve.

1.-THE Gear of the House.

There have been several. Mr.. ndef-
wood is simply the latest.
The first was Thomas T. Reed-that
strong and resourceful man, who, upon
reaching the Speakers chair and finding
that the rules OF the House left the ma
jority a good deal at the mercy of the
minority, changed the procedure and put
the majority In charge. He held old
fashioned views about legislative respon-
sibility. So he was dubbed THE Car of
the House" by the democratic members.
lie wore the title confidently and uncom-
plainingly, and performed a great public
service
The second was Charles F. Crisp-a
very fair and excellent man, who, sue
ceeding Gar Reed. administered TO the
republicans the connection their own
leader had devised. He smilingly applied
the Reed rules, and gave the majority its
rights. OF course the republicans
sGuirmed. Who likes to take his own
medicine? Who likes to see his own OK
Sored? Mr.. Crisp, who had come of the
atrical stock, enjoyed the comedy hugely.
The third car was Joseph G. Cannon.
lie too. upon reaching the chair saw that
the path was kept clear for majority rule.
lie had the same ideas about legislative
responsibility that Mr.. Reed and Mr..
crisp had entertained, and guided by
them Not as sarcastic as Mr.. Reed, nor
as Suave as Mr.. Crisp. he yet was the
equal of either in cxpediting business and
obtaining results.
The fourth would have been Champ
Cialk-who would have played the part
well and successfully-except that the
democrats of the Sixty-second House, in
executing a little hugger-mugger on the
subject transferred power from the chair
10 the floor. The Speaker was stripped,
and the togs were added to the wardrobe
of the House leader.
How we'll Mr.. Underwood has worn
them we ali know. He is the miidest
hammered man that ever steered the ship
or throttled minority. He makes prog
ress without hesitation, and hears with
out needing all protests from the help
less. He believes In majority rule, and
knows how to enforce it. He wants re-
suits, and knows how to obtain them. A
thoroughly competent leader. greatly APP
preciated by his followers, and much ad-
mired by his opponents.

to protect the position of the Turk in
Europe. It was hoped after the COM
plete defeat of Turkey by the Balkan
allies that save possibly for the reten-
ton of Constantinople the Moslem would
be driven out of Europe altogether. When
through Bulgarias faithlessness toward
the first peace agreement 1t was made
possible for the Turks to renew the war
and to regain Adrianople and a consider
able part OF Thrace. evidence appeared
that certain of the powers were aiming to
this very end. Bad faith on the part OF
two of them had been almost openly
charged. Herein lies the danger OF the
reopening OF the Balkan war troubles.
The jealousies and suspicious OF the
smaller states are reflected in similar
feelings on the part of the larger powers
and the dreaded general European war
becomes a possibility whenever this per-
ennial Balkan Pandora's box is reopened-
