Public opinion, both in America and
Japan, is in a waiting mood. The Min.
neapolis Journal quotes Captain Uyeno,
of the Japanese embassy, as saying:
'sThe Japanese are not so sure that
they are being Disseminated against
unfairly. Foreigners are restricted in
the holding Of land in Japan, and it
is but fair that California should en-
act such legislation as she sees flt to
Offset this.''
The attitude Of California, accord,
ing to this diplomat, is perfectly JUS,
and in accord with the restrictive lana
legislation long operative in Japan.
No objection has been raised by the
United States to the exclusion Of our
citizens from the holding of land in
Japan. We probably should not OBJ.
ject to their exclusion from Japanese
citizenship. We have never asked
anything from Japan except the right
to trade with such Of her people as
want to trade with us, and then under
the laws which she herself makes to
govern such trade.
Altogether it would seem that there
is but little to the controversy between
Nippon and Uncle Sam.

MONOPOLY sH7R1EKs.

It is the apparent attitude of such
concerns as the monopolistic United
shoe machinery company that hardens
public opinion agains longtime trriff
benefciaries and makes it difficult 20
stir the people in behalf of any Of the
protected industries. Here is a con-
Germ exceedingly prosperous, with fac
tories in other countries as we'll as
in the country of its arigin.
Choking at the proposition purely
from the viewpoint of earnings, the
United shoe machinery officials are
not seriously concerned over tariff
legislation on shoe machinery, says the
Boston News Bureau.'' The business
is so strongly entrenched on both sides
Of the wster that United machines
have the call, and it is Of no moment
whether the machines for American
use are manufactured in Beverly I'M
der protective duty or whether thew
are built abroad and come in free. Tho
United shoe machinery company will
furnish the machines in either event.
The unfortunate feature Of free shoe
machinery, however, it that it would
mean another blow at New England
industry. The company's employees at
Beverly are the highest paid indus
trial workers in New England, If not
in the county, and it stands to rea.
son that the Beverly plant cannot
compete with low-prived foreign labor
in the company's English, French and
German factories. The United shoe
machinery company, in the event that
shoe machinery is put on the free list
may be compelled to transfer large
portion Of its Beverly business to its
foreign plants. For reasons outlined
above the company would not suffer
except through partial disuse Of val
liable plant, but such transfer would
result in hardship to its American en-
ployes and would mean the decad-
ence Of big New England indus
try"
Here is company whose business
has been richly protected by the pat
emit laws Of the United States even
more than by tariff laws. Its mon.
opoly, first Of all, granted under the
American flag. Yet the suggestion is
that this concern would close up its
Beverly plant and have its machines
made by low-priced labor abroad If
the tariff duties were removed. It is
cool line of talk. If actually car
ried out, this alleged plan Of opera
tons would lead 70 rsvisssa Il ths
patent laws that would not be agree
able probably to the United Shoe
machinery company.-Fargo Courier

MIGHTY WAR BREWING?

Is the Scutari incident to be the fuse
which will set off the terrific dynamite
pcrched for the past decades The dan
ger of terrific conflagration Of war,
the like of which the world has never
seen before and which would remake
the map of Europe and probably of
the entire world, was never more i'm.

Europe was brought to the verge Of
such a war once before, since the Bal

had their troops mobilizcd, ready to
launch at moments notice, but the
cooler heads prevailed and the danger
was over for the moment.
But once more the crisis has arriv-

ing power. That nation, governed BY
hot-heads and seeing cherished hopes
Of territorial expansion and future
greatness being snatched from under
her clutches and, above ali, fearing
the rise of Slavic power, used her al
lance with Germany and Italy and
played upon the dread of a general
war, in which all Europe stands, to
force an order to the Montenegrins to
keep hands off Scutari, the last strong.

| The behavior o. Russia, in delaying

1t is believed in Austria that England

WHENCE CAME WE? s''

Ever since Charles Darwin promul.
gated his famous theory that man is
descended from the monkey there have
been many persons who have chafed
under the imputation of simian strain
in their ancestry. The hope has been
cherished by thousands Of those rest
i've remonstrants that some day a
scientist would come to the front with
proof that no monkey ever perched
in tho ancestral trees of the human
race and that their prehensile tails
never clasped any branch of the hu-
man family.
Now see how this hope has been re-.
allied. Behold there has arisen q
savant who punctures the Darwinian
theory and proves that man is not
the brother of the orangoutang nor
the first cousin of the chimpanzee,
But alas, this distinguished son Of
knowledge makes our plight worse
than if he had left US dangling from
the trapeze in the zoo, eating peanuts
in the ,nanagerie or chattering in the
treetops. He has proved at least to
his own satisfaction, that the bull
frog, and not the monkey, is the real
ancestor of the human race and that,
tat best, these two divisions of the
evolutionary school will have to fight
lit out among them selves with the
luckless humanity as the innocent by
stander, as to which gave us our orig
in.
Possibly there is something to be
said on both sides Of the controversy.
For the original claimant, one might
Ipoint out t. proverbial tendency of
one human being to ape another. The
fact that the monkey wrench is a
ponlar and useful tool might be cited
as corroborative circumstance while
the ease with which some people allow
others to make monkeys out of them
is rather strange proof of sinian con-
nections somewhere in the dim and
distant past.
But on the other hand, cannot some
thing be said for the bull-frog theoryi

QUICK REPORT OF GOLDEN

In the May American Magazine
Mayor Brand Whitlock Of Toledo, Ohio
writing his autobiography, tells the
following story about Mayor Sam
Jones of Toledo, known as "Golden
Rule Jones'"
s'The struggle over the renewal Of
the franchise grants to the street rail-
way company had already begun, and
the council had already granted it the
franchise it wished, renewed its priv
ileges for another twenty-five years.
When Mayor Jones vetoe dthe bill, the
council prepared to pass it over his
veto, and would have done SO that
Monday night had it not been for .wo
Jones and Mr.. Negley
D. Cochran, the editor Of the "News-
Bee", newspaper which has always
taken the democratic viewpoint Of pub
(lic questions. Mr.. Cochran, with his
brilliant gift in the writing Of editor
ials, had called out the whole popu-
lace, almost, to attend the meeting Of
the council and to protest. The dem
onstration was SO far effective that the
council was too frightened to pass the
'street railway franchise. The attorney
fot the street railway company was
there and when there was a lull in
the noice, he sneered:
+" Il suppose Mr.. Mayor that this
is an example Of government under
