JAPAN NOT LITTLE

Whenever the Japanese gov ernment becomes involved in a controversy of any kind with a great power it is the custom to speak of little Japan" Friends and foes alike use that express ion. Some deride the pretensions of the Japanese On the ground that their country is too small and week to be taken seriously by natian of the first rank. Ot- hers show their sympathy with the inlandess by calling it shame full to bully so small a state.
 This is all a mistake. Japan is not little. In acres, of course, the Japanese territory. occupied or conqured. is small by compari- son with Russia, for instance the i huge empire which the Japanese defeated in a long and bloody war. But in population the Japa- neese empire is not one of the little nations of the world.
 There are more than 2,00O, OOO Japanese, not counting the For mosans or the Koreans. They have more than 3.000,000 sub jects in Formosa and more than IA, 900, 900 in Korea, or Chosen, as they have named the country since its annexation. These 16, = 900, ,000 Korear.s and Formosians are just as much to be counted in reckoning the lpopulation of the Japanese as the Filipinos are in stating the number of persons living under the American flag or the natives of Algeria and Cambodia are to be included in the population of France and it's possessions.
 But taking account only of the Japanese it is evident that 52,- 900, 900 make large state, not a little one. That is the population of Austria Hungary. It is 6,OOO,- 900 more than the inhabitants of the British Isles. France stands

Italy is smaller by 17,0OO,OOO. The population of Japan is great. CT than that of Spain, Holland, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Servia, Sweden, Greece, Denmark and Norway all taken together.
 Obviously, such a nation needs no sympathy because of it's little ness. It is equally clear that it cannot intelligently be derided as too small to have chance of resisting any big and powerful country. -Ex.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseases portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf med con ditlon of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have a rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the rssult, and unless the inflammation can be talk en out and this tube restored to its nor mai condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Cost Of Bad Roads.

In speaking of the cost of bad
roads, the Department of Agri-
culture cites two instances. One
was of two farmers living equal
distances from market. Both
received a telephone message
that cotton was up 81 a bale, and
both fastened to take advantage
of the advance, One lived on a
bad road and could only haul one
bale. The other lived on a good
road and hauled four bales. His
advantage over the other for the
days work was So, all due to the
roads.
The other incident was at
Bristol Tenn. A farmer living
not far from Bristol, had 100
bushels of potatoes to sell. Po-
tatoes went up to $1.40 a bushel
in Bristol that winter, but the
roads were so bad he could not
haul them, and they rotted on
his hands, costing him a loss Of
$40. These incidents could be
multiplied by the thousands.
yet when we get to talking
about spending large sums on
good roads, some organization or
other wants to spend the money
on a few grand boulevaards and
continue to leave the poor farm
er stuck in the mud. The farm
roads are what needs improving.

not shut out frauds, deception,
liquor nor money. 1t. merely
shifts the expense from candi-
dates to the counties. and the
State, but the dear people foot
the bill all the same. The meth
DDS of selecting party nominees
should be left to the parties Sc
lecting said nominees and the
counties and State should not be
left to the parties selecting said
nominees and the counties and
State should not be forced to
meet the expense. The truth is
we have never believed in the
primary law and at this hour
have less faith than before it
was tried. A primary, party or
State is not a guarantee of equal
opportunity; not a safe guard
against, fraud does not prevent
political deception or guarantee
a higher class of nominees than
party action has been able to give.
The.cry of fraud from defeated
contestants.in party conventions
and the hypocritical pretention
of allowing a great common peo-
pie to select the nominees ia
thered and.mothered our present
State primary law which has
cost thesscounties $4,000. We
believe in a fair deal but really
prefer theissnap judgment and
uncertainties of a convention
than the deliberate buying of
votes in a primary. The present
law should be wiped from our
statute or so amended as to cut
out the opportunity for frauds
and political debauchery.

The Happy Man.

The happiest man in the world
is the common, everyday pay
chap who makes his own living,
pays his own bills and has the re-
spect of his neighbors. He saves
a little money as he goes along,
but doesn't try to get a corner
on his local output and he is not
a slave to ambition or society.
He never expects to wear out
his trousers in the Senate and
when he glides out of bed IN the
morning he never wastes any
time to pickout the right tint of
socks, suspenders and necktie
that will blend with the general
effect. .
He only wears d high collar
when he feels like it, and when
his pet corn begins to jump, he
jerks out his knife and cuts a
four inch cash in the side of his
shoe and nothing is said about it
in the local papers. He never
has to sit up at night to poultice
his conscience. He believes in
the doctrine of live and let live.
When he encounters one of the
needy he doesn't stutter with
his pocket book. The plain plug
of a man is happy because he is
satisfied and doesn't spend hall
of his time yearning for some.
thing which his salary will not
permit. Give US more plain mer
and the world will be better.
