JAPAN KNOWS OUR WEAKNESS
Moral: Build Warships and Strengthen
Defense, Says Graves

John Temple Graves, in New York
American of June 81
A remarkable story comes to me
today from an authoritative source in
the last Congress.
The American statesman to whom I
refer was closely associated with the
foreign affairs of our government. He
was a particularly intimate friend Of
Baron Uchida, the Japanese Ambas-
.sadcr proceeding Viscount Chinda.
One night after dinner with Baron
Uchida, the American drifted into
frank discussion of future conditions
that might make trouble between this
country and Japan.
Turning to Uchida, he said: Baron,
am we'll aware from my official
closeness to our foreign affairs that in
case of war between our countries all
the preliminary advantages would be
on the side of your people.
Il do not hesitate to say, which
am sure you know, that we of Amer
lea are shamefully unprepared, in the
condition and equipment of our navy

Tense, and even in our small and in
adequate army, to cope with the SPLEEN

disciplined navy and of your veteran
soldiers.
Does my estimate of conditions
agree with yours?"
Amba ssador Uchida, runs the story

dence of intense interest and feeling
replied:
You are a frank, square man, Mr.
-, like you, trust you, and | vii

MAY SHIP GAME ~ EXPRESS.
Attorney General Holds There u No
Laws Prohibiting It.

Aberdeen.-Attorney General Royal
G. Johnson holds, in an opinion to
State Game Warden Hedrick, that
game animals legally taken may prop
erly be received and transported by
common carriers, either by freight or
express, or as baggage. The attorney
general, however, holds that the law
is not free from doubt, but there are
no express provisions in the law pro-
hibiting any person from shipping, or
a common carrier from receiving for
shipment or shipping any game ami
NAL legally killed.
Section 80 of the game laws passed
by the legislature in 1909 states spe-
officially that Nothing
shall = = prevent any resident
Of this state from personally carrying
with him as baggage on any train or
conveyance, any game, birds or fish
which may be legally in his possess
sion, and any common carrier is here
by permitted to carry such game. birds
or fish, as baggage, when the same
is accompanied and carried on the
same train or conveyance by the per-
son who is legally in possession of the
game"
The attorney general holds that II
there is any prohibition 1t is contain
ed in the above quoted section, but
that ever then there is nothing for
bidding the common carriers from
shipping as express or freight such
on mo ana fhof tha ohovn CACfinnc
would not authorize a criminal prose-
cution of a common carrier or person
for shipping such game legally killed.
He says further: "These statutes
clearly contemplate that any person
procuring a license may, during a
certain time Of the year. kill one deer
and be entitled to its use and pos
session. If the shipment of such ami
NAL, legally killed, were not allow
able, the license to hunt game given,
would be of no particular value. and
such a construction placed upon the
statutes would, in my opinion, clearly
operate to negative the intention Of
the legislators in passing the acts"
Il would call your attention to tho
fact that in this respect our statutes
are defective. The laws Of Minnesota
and of many surrounding states, pro.
vide that with the issuance of a game
license, shipping coupons authorizing
common carriers to receive for shin
ment the number Of game animals that
may be killed under the license, are
also issued. This system protects not
only the common carriers, but the
hunters, and would respectfully sug.
gest that the defect of our statutes be
called to the attention OF the mem
bers OF the next legislature for your
department"

Error in Primary Law.

Pierre.-The secretary Of state will
hold on one phase Of the new primary
law that the impossible will not be
demanded Of judicial candidates. One
phase of the law provides that no pc
titions shall be signed more than 90
days prior to the date OF the primary
election; and another provision re.
guires candidates for circuit Judge to
file their petitions with the secretary
Of state not less than 80 days prior
to the same date. which of itself is q
manifest i~mpossibility. Mr.. Richards.
who drew the act, says this was
caused by error in transcribing. but
it is in the law just the same. The
secretary holds that he will accept and
file petitions of candidates for circuit
Judge, even though the signature dates
show that they were secured upon the
petitions more than 80 days before the
primaries, which will allow the filings
to be made with the required time.
