Asiatic exclusion legislation.
His startement was made in great
secrecy behind closed doors, Before
he left the committee agreed that
nothing should be made public.
1t was known, however. that the
Secretary of State asserted any ac-
tion upon the Raker bill at this time
might seriously imperil pending
negotiations with Japan.
Bryan stated In the most positive
terms that an amicable agreement
with Japan was certain. IL no un-
toward circumstances should arise.
such as an exhibition of anti-Japanesc
sentiment by Congress or any COM
mittee. He did not state when he
expected finally to reach the agree
ment. He said. however. that he
was on most cordial terms with the
Japanese ambassador.
Bryan said that the clamor against
Japanese immigration was practically
confined to California. or almost to a
few western states. He stated. il was
reported. that it was not of such
pressing Importance at this time that

Gated. He attended the same church

noon. If they had a kick com

The Colorado labor war, in
its relation to the Rockefellers, is
an illustration of the kind Of thing
that happens when large stockhold-
ers live hundreds of miles away and
visit their property at too ire
ouent intervals. The Rockefellers Nc
doubt believe they have done theil
full duty by providing a fine equip
ment of hospitals, clubs, and bath
rooms. The workmen, however, VALUE
personal touch more than the fInesi
social outfit that money can buy. Il
often seems as if they valued i
quite as much as wages
In these days Of widespread own
ership in corporations, the idyllk
conditions once prevailing can no
return. Still, much more could be
dome by large stockhoIding inter
ests to maintain some kind Of a per
sonaI tie with their employees. i
needs to be repeated over and oVel
again that no business enterprise can
permanently prosper as long as there
exists hatred or i'll feeling between
emDloye and employer. There can
not be efficient operation on a basis
Of war

ARMY SANITATION IN CASE OF
WAR,

War, as it seems to most people,
is a conflict of craftsmanship and
strategy in the moving and distribu-
ton of troops. But even more it is a
question of protection of the health
of the men, This will be the first
problem in case our boys go to
Mexico City.
Disease usually kills in war four
mem to every one killed by bullets In
the Spanish war, disease killed 10
to every one killed by Spanish arms.
Wonderful records in military hy-
giene We're made in the Russo-Japa-
nese war on both Sides The Japs
lost but q, 900 odd by disease, to
$4,000 in battles. The Russians lost
10000 by disease to $1,000 by buI-
lets.
The Japs won that great conflict
primarily by their hygienic efficiency
They had a sanitary division of A,
600 men, some of whom went ahead
of the troops in every scouting party
The water in wells and springs was
analysed. Meats, vegetables, and fruit.
were tested. Towns having contaei-
Gus diseases were quarantined. Lee.
lures were given to the soldiers, abou
when to drink and when to battle
even to the pairing of the finger mails
to avoid bacteria
In case worst comes to worst in
| Mexico, the first anxiety must be
for the health of our troops. The
Mexican soldiers have way of aim
ing their rifles in battle at about
the height of a second story window,
The bulk of their shots viii go Wild.
But the power of fever germs works
blindly against friend and foe.
Certainly there has been progress
in the United States army since the
woefu1 record of 1898. Panama and
Havana prove it. Anti-typhoid vacci-
nation has reduced cases of that dis
ease in the army to figure only
one-twentieth what it was nine years
ago. Let it be hoped that the scien-
tific thoroughness which the blue
Jackets displayed in the brief
bombardment of Vera Cruz, would
similarly be shown by the land for
ces in a hygienic campaign.

THE RISE AND DECLINE OF
TRADE,

TRADE
GibbOn wrote a famous history Oh
the Decline and fall of the Roman
Empire" In the power and pride
Of Rome ON the ascending scale, few
would have thought ruin was posi-
Ole. Similarly in many well establish
ed business houses there are the
seeds Of decay.
The merchants Of amy community
range themselves into two classes.
There are those who have am estab-
lished trade, great or small some
of them think they can now live on
the fruits of their past efforts. All
they have to do is to sit still and
their regular customers will come
around and buy their goods.
But population changes more rap
idly than it used to. Few people
send out roots deep into amy soil.
Death claims its share. Amy given
body of people, accustomed to buy
ing goods in some one place, will
be cut i'll two by death and removal
in five years
The older people who bought goods
regularly at one store, We're almost
ashamed to be seen going into am
other place They felt as if it were
almost AN act of disIoyalty. Nova
days no one is tied up anywhere. All
go where the best bargains are of
fered Few places have amy regular
ly established trade that cam be
counted on without persistent solicit
tation New customers must con
staptly be sought to take the place
Of those that drop out.
The other class of merchants are
those that are coming In year,
by persistent efforts to tell the pub
lie what they are doing, they build
up their own constituency. 1t is
made up not merely of the drifters
and floaters, but from wide awake
people who are drawn from less a.g-
gressive and enterprising stores.
The business that does not adver-
tise is usually the business that is
going down. The business that add
vertises is the business that is go
ing up.
