The United States is the very best
customer Japan has among all the
nations of the earth. More than one
third of what she sells is taken in the
United States. Japan, although her
export trade is growing, does not
export as much as she imports and is
naturally striving to turn the balance
of trade the other way, but in her
trade with the United States the bal
ance is already on her side. The
United States, in short, is Japan's
ready-money friend. AS a nation
which exports to Japan, only British
India has trade larger than that of
the United States. All of these facts
are shown by official reports recent
ly sent from Washington on the trade
relations of the two countries and
they speak more loudly than all the
jingoes and peace advocates put to-
gether on the subject of war with
Japan. Japan cannot afford to 60 to
war with Anybody and war with the
United States would be the most ex-
pensive war she could wage.-Re-

Mrs. John Seelinger, aged 48 years,
died at her home seven miles north
east of this city Saturday, June %,
1918. Blood poisoning, resulting
from an infected wound in her hand,

years.
She was good woman, an affec-
tomato wife and kind and loving
mother and a multitude of sorrowing
friends Join the bereaved family in
mourning their loss.

Prof. H. O. Maxev, our efficient

Prof. H. O. Maxey, our efficient
and obliging circuit clerk, is down
from Butler visiting his brother, A.
w. Maxey. He is seldom able to
meet his many friends here owing to
the exacting duties of his office, and
he insists that it is his duty, which he
owes to the people who have so hon.
ored him, to personally attend to the
office which he holds. Bates county
has perhaps never had a more COM
petent circuit clerk, and surely has
never had one who gave more of his
time and effort to the satisfactory
execution of the important duties at
tendant upon the position. His many
friends, and in fact all people who
have business with that office from
this part of the county, are insisting
that he be a candidate to succeed
himself, and while Mr.. Maxey, when
asked whether he will be candidate
again, would not definitely commit
himself, yet he expressed himself as
deeply grateful to the people of Bates
county for their confidence and for
the compliment of being asked to
again submit his candidacy to the
Democrats of this county. 1t is our
opinion that Mr.. Maxey will decide
to ask the endorsement of his adj
ministration of the office he now
holds by again permitting his name
to be submitted to the primary next
year for the action of his party

PRICE, $500 PER YEAR
TARIFF QUESTION PRACTICALLY
DECIDED.

AS the result of last weeks ses-
sion of the democratic senatorial
caucus, it appears reasonable to be-
lieve that the Underwood tariff bill
will become a law very much as
originally planned. Free sugar in
three years and free wool immediate
ly were the two items of special i'm
portance which were confidently re.
lied upon by tariff reform opponents
to disorganize the administration
forces. In the caucus there were
only six votes against either Of these
propositions.
The two Louisiana senator's, Rams
dell and Thornton, voted against free
sugar in the caucus, and it is expect
ed they will vote against it in the fin
al and deciding ballot. One reason
why this is being taken for granted is
that an official count of noses is said
to have proved beyond question that
the Underwood bill will not be de-
feated by reason Of their opposition.
If that were the case, it is declared
at least one of them would vote for
the party measure.
Besides these two, the only senat-
ors voting against the free sugar
clause were Hitchcock of Nebraska,
Shafroth of Colorado, Newlands of
Nevada, and Walsh of Montana. In
the vote on the free wool PROPOSE
ton Shafroth, Newlands and Walsh
again registered themselves with the
opposition, and the vote Of Hitchcock
who voted yes, was offset by Cham
berlain of Oregon.
If those senator's should vote against
the measures when it comes up for
final passage, and republicans and
progressives should unite against it.
the bill would fail to carry. This,
however, they win not do. On the
contrary, each Of them will vote with
the administration unless the most
authoritative inside information is all
wrong.
According to all Indications, the
struggle over the tariff bill IL practi-
cally over. There win be minor
