The Japanese government has mott
fed Secretary Bryan that his univer-

that it will meet with favorable con

kingdom.
This makes nine nations that have

Of Mr.. Bryan's peace plan will be a

upon that country as populated by a

This opinion of the japanese is not
correct, and besides. Mr.. Bryan is
held in such high esteem by oriental

him would be considered worthy OF

WHEN THE EDITOR IS THE GOAT.

WHEN THE EDITOR Is THE GOAT.
In an interview in The Argus the
other day, Richard Fairchild, staff rep
resentative Of the Chicago Record
Herald, who came direct TO Rock Is
land from Marquette, Mich, where he
reported the Roosevelt libel suit, said
in effect that Editor Nevett from
whom the famous president received
damages of 6 cents, had simply been
made a goat in his zeal in behalf of
friend.
True friends are worth fighting for
Going 10 the front for the other kind,
however, is precarious business. Edi-
tor Newett OF the Ishpeming, Mich,
Iron Age, who championed the cause
of Congressman Young wnen the lat
ter was attacked by Theodore Roose-
velt, is only one of many newspaper
men who have suffered from trusting
too implicitly in and fighting too en-
Enthusiastically for supposed friends. Or
in other words, making an enemy in
the interest of some one else, or in an
attempt TO please someone else.
In fact, almost every editor has had
a similar experience not once, but
many times and so it is not to be
wondered that. as a class, those di-
recting the editorial policy of news-
papers are disposed TO think twice
nowadays when asked TO espouse the
cause of others. particularly where
they are expected to make personal
enemies.

1t is an easy matter to draw up in

proof is another matter Officers

something more than the fact that the
bird can find its way home. There is
apparently an absolute sense of loca-

hundreds of miles as the most accurate

The Carnegie institute has an exper-

Myer and Watson have been making
scientific tests, of which the following
is an example:
The professor goes into a group Of

their eggs so thickly that il is almost

and proceeds to hatch il. The eXper-

The Genial Cynic
THE BREAKFAST FOOD FAD.
BY CHARLES GRANT MILLER.

Housekeeping, like all other departments of indus
try, has made rapid progress toward that universally
sought end-the greatest good with the least effort.
Particularly is this true in regard to the prepare
ton of breakfast which has been reduced to the sim
pie process of opening yellow box and calling the
children.
Certainly in this effort has been reduced to the
minimum, though whether the good result is at a
maximum not is an open question in the minds of
all but those of genius who write the glowing ad-
vertsements exploiting the various breakfast foods
life giving virtues.
If explicit reliance is to be placed upon these zest-
full literary gentlemen's assertions the maximum of
good must be less doubtful than is the minimum
of labor.
