Japan's Campaign of Education.

The jingoes have much to for here and
elsewhere Their efforts to fomen belligerent condi-
tions between the United States and Great Britain
the canal tolls question were saved by their utter alb
surdity from being dsreputabe Our cordial relations
with Japan have withsood all the oratorica nightmare
with which they have been assacd chiefly because
of the calm intelligence of those the head of al
fairs OF the two nations. They have weighed the
evidence and have found none justify conclusion
that Japan and the United States are enemies. On
the contrary this country has not failed recognize
course by Japan indicating desire cultivate a
closer friendship and beneficial commercial in
tercourse
The has Just arrived from Tokyo OF the or
ganzaton by leading Japanese financial and business
interests of the International News Agency. the pur
pose of which is the dissemination OF the truth about
Japan and the Japanese is clearly set forth in the
following from the Japan Times:
The want of an organ for making Japan better
known abroad had long been felt by leading men in
financial and business circles Their desire for such
an organ had been particularly intensified by the
course of events in the past few years. As il
lustration OF the lack of knowledge about Japan on
the part of the outside world, need only remember
the foolish talk of war between American and Japan
that was so widely circulated i'll the press of the
United States few years ago Only few days ago
Baron Shibusawa surprised to hear from an Eng
lish visitor. Mr.. Brown, who came here by way of
Australia that down there the fear Of japanese in
vasion really troubled not few people who, in sup
port of their idea aege that in the Japanese schools
the teachers in the habit of pointing to Australia
en- the map future dependency of Japan These
things show how little Japan is known abroad
The business men OF Japan, who felt the need of
an organ for making Japan better known abroad were
happy in discovering in Mr.. J. r. Kennedy just the
man they wanted for starting work of this nature.
The result has been the organization of corporation
by about twenty-five hnanciers and business men of
Tokyo and Osaka, with the object, the one hand
OF conducting a news agency. and. the other, of
publishing daily newspaper in Tokyo The aim of
the corporation will always be to supply the world
with hopest and accurate information about current
happenings in Japan
Tangible and substantial evidence OF the sincere
purpose of Japan has been furnished within the past
few days in authoritative announcement that her
statesmen will not take advantage of our present
pcatons with Mexico to press to a conclusion their
representations with regard to the California alien
land law. thus defeating irresponsible attempts

Arbitration, but Not in New York.

| 1t is unfortunate that the Colorado mining cor
porations refused to submit to arbitration the diff
ferences between themselves and the miners which
led to bloody conflict and the sacrifice of many lives
including those of women and children 1t is un
fortunate because it delays settlement of conditions
that must be settled and it is short-sighted bad bust
ness policy because the corporations will eventually be
forced to arbitrate and. from a weakened position
They will be forced by the sentiment of the American
people. whose eyes have besn fixed in horror upon
the scene of carnage, and who will demand that the
cause be DISCOVERED and removed.
Ii may be that the corporations are entirely right
in placing the blame the unon-there is some evil
dence that they areAbu the great and governing pub
lie sentiment will be the harder convince because
of the very fact that the corporations rejected the
first opportunity prove themselves right even when
recognition of the union was not at issue
The Federal government has sent troops TO the
scene of what practically amounted to civil war and
its proclamation calling upon combatants on either
side to disam is being obeyed. II will put a stop
TO strife and bloodshed but it will do in the
interest OF corporation union. The final solution
will be arbitration and the beginning the corpora
tons will be at disadvantage in the public estma-
ton by their failure embrace the first opportunity
to justify their position.
Turning from the situation in Colorado to the dis
graceful scenes being enacted in New York, fair
minded persons will condemn the attempts of the IRA
tional or criminal agitators to foment sentiment
among their irrational or criminal followers that may
imperil the personal safety OF John d. Rockefeller
jr At most Mr. Rockefeller may be accused of de-
clining the assumption OF individual responsibility in
determining measures to be adopted in dealing with a
situation the details of which he less familiar
with than the in control in Colorado. Except
in New York there is outcry against Mr.. Rookie
teller because of his failure personally and di-
rectly Perhaps his policy in leaving the matter to
others was mistaken one in view of the appalling
crisis. but there is disposition 10 hold him cupable
There is evidence that he has inflicted hardship
cruelty upon the miners. and in fact that hard
ship cruelty has been inflicted
The situation in New York is clearer than il is in
Colorado Mr.. Rockefeller has done nothing to for
felt his right to go and come he pleases without
the slightest moestation and it is the plain duty of
the law to protect him in that right and to punish
any who attempts to infringe it That is one step
that can be taken without waiting for arbitration.
The government of the United States is strong
enough and will find way to dispense full justice
in Colorado.

Can't Wish Huerta Away.

Reports OF the imminent physical collapse and
political downfall OF Huerta should be accepted with

given credit for having exhibited cowardice.
And if he decides stay and give final battle to

result OF its policy will be fortunate If it escapes
