Mans Best Testimonial.

There are some people in the
world who have a deadly fear of
making enemies.
But the man who makes enc
mics has usually done something
worth while If public officials,
Legislators, judges or even editors
had greater facility for making
enemies, Il ey would have more
power to do these worthwhile
things.
The placid, the sauve, the con-
ciliating person may get along
without disturbing the digestion
but he will not disturb much else.
He may be patted on the back but
he will rot right wrong, lead a
fight or dissipate hear say.
To go about making enemies is
the hardest possible life. 1t re-
quires steadfastness to principle,
an unfailing courage, a determined
will and definite purpose. Let
anyone adhere to these things and
enemies will of necessity spring up.
He will find one in every hypocrite
in the land.
Every man who has. ever done
good services has had his enemies.
What have | done that my enc
mics should praise" runs an old
Spanish proverb. The man who
is without enemies pursues no
stern duty. State Journal.

Agricultural Dept. Active.

The agricultural department at
Washington is determined that all
food supplies shall be pure and
wholesome. A bulletin has been is
sued calling attention to the dan
ger of giving butter a metallic,
oily" or "fshy" flavor by packing
the same in metallic receptacles
and putting the same in storage to
be held for months before reaching
the consumers. A bulletin has al
so been issued calling attention to
the fact that many packed meats
are positively dangerous and many
misbrdnded and that action will be
taken by the department to con-
serve the health of the people.
To protect the people against short
measures, a bulletin has been is
sued to the effect that most of the
milk bottles in which milk is sold
to families, are short in measure
and they do not get what they pay
for. Then notice is called to the
condensed milk sold, which is not
as good in all instances as it should
be for cleanliness and purity.

What of the Little Jap?

1t is amusing to hear the Mil
waukee Sentinel ridicule the So
called "gingo" papers that dare to
presume and voice the belief that
there is likelihood of ultimate fric-
ton between the United States and
Japan. To close observer of in
ternational affairs, such thing is
not unlikely. What is more, it is
more than probable and it behooves
our Uncle Samuel to prepare for
strong Pacific coast defense, peace
conferences and agitation to the
contrary Notwithstanding. To the
human race, the Jap is what
the mouse is to animal life-a cum
ming and sly little critter. In
stances and evidences are not a
few where the sly little Japs have
been caught spying within the Dor
uCi VI Jul ACy nov -
been sending these spies here for
a double purpose-to educate them
and give them an opportunity to
acquaint themselves with Ameri-
can methods, particularly in war
fare and the writer dares say that
while the greater part OF our
nation is asleep to the true situa-
ton, the little Japs are gaining a
great intelligence. How many
Americans realize that the Japs IN
California are drilling daily in is
olated sections of that state, with
no other thought than conflict
that is certain unless our nation
demonstrate to these natives oil
the Flowery Kingdom" through
preparations that we are not to be
fooled with any longer. A conflict
with Japan would not mean a few
skirmishes such as the so-calleG
Spanish American war, but there
is great danger that history will
repeat itself in the alignment o.
yellow, brown and black races te
exterminate the white race, the
first mentioned three outnumber
ing the latter by about ten to one
How many Americans stop to re
fleet on the enthusiastic demon
STATIONS shown by the young Jap
anese and the anxiety manifested
tor war with the United States
How many Americans realize t.
what extent we are deficient in on
western coast defense and how
easy it would be for the Japanes,
to pounce upon the Philippines ane
assail us from the Pacific. Inter
national peace is beautiful in the
DRY but not practical at this stage
of life's game. Again we repeat
