 In the first place Japan owes all tltt she is today to the United States. th' ugh in her arrogance she will not 1Cmit 1t. and a glance at what the
 pening of the canal will mean to her Wlll show that much of her future will
 iSo be due to the efforts of our na-
 There Is q great deal of freight ship ped from Japan to the eastern states is well as to Europe which comes across the Pacific and is then trans shipped by rail to New York Some of this freight comes in Japanese bot toms and some of it now comes in American bottoms.
 With the opening of the Panama c"ral Japan will ship in her own bot toms direct to New York and to points on the eastern coast of South Amer ica ana she will find. especially in South America. wonderful new mar kets for her mattings and silks andI many other products
 Also her ships, which now ply tol Enropcan ports by way of the Suez canal, some of the ships, not all, but the ships carrying cargQes billed all the way through in either direction, will probably use the new route
 Already Japan is increasing her mer- chant marine for the purpose of enter ing into competition with the ships of the world in the carrying trade She already has her commercial agents sprinkled all through South America and already certain of the coast cities of the United States are fearing the increase in Japanese shipping.
 The opening of the Panama canal will add tenfold to the riches Of Japan, and it is all done at the expense of someone else. just like all of the good that has come to the Japanese nation

 Now We are making the one thing which is most needful for the islandl empire at this time possible. her com mercial expansion. And yet over inI Tokyo they are calling us Yankee pigsl and striving to force the government into a war which would in the end be ahout the most disastrous thing thatI the mikado ever tackled. And the one ord only reason for all of this ingrat- itude and this fire eating jingo talk is that the people of the states of the west coast desire to inhabit their own land in peace without the contamina- ting influence of another and an alien race and the American workingmanl D" the west does not choose to be push | eG out of his rightful field by half Oriental who will work for less than white man can live on.

ATTACKS BOARD OF REVIEW
SHOULD BE INDICTED"

SHOULD BIZ INDIC Ed"
Maxwell Edgar, attorney for the
Illinois Tax Reform Association, who
has done more to worry the big tax
dodgers of Illinois than probably any
other man in the state, made the
statement today that "the members
of the Board of Review ought to be
indicted for malfeasance in office"
The statement came after the ex-
posture of the manner in which the
Board of Review had fixed up Mrs.
julius Rosenwald's taxes by reducing
them 80 per cent.
Also following this exposure came
the intimation that States Attorney
Maclay Hoyne has decided to be the
first states attorney to defy the
money power of the army Of tax
lodging millionaires who prey upon
the county and will force payment.
Yesterday Hoyne's assistant in |
charge of the tax department, Chas.
G. Case, Jr., clashed with Sidney Ad- |
Ter, attorney for Mrs. Rosenwald,
when the latter gent became peeved
because the county wouldn't reduce
Mrs. Rosenwald's taxes.
Adler had made the statement that |
the wife of the head of the Sears
Roebuck sweatshop was only worth |
only $44 900 and that she oughtn't to |
be taxed any more.
Case received the information in |
high humor. Whereupon Adler pro-
ceeded to rage.
"Of course, Mrs. Rosenwald's |
worth more than $4,000" he is re-
ported to have said, ''but it's ridicu-
Ious to ask her to pay on higher
valuation with taxes as high as they
are now"
The history of the Rosenwald case
is interesting. About a year ago Max
well Edgar discovered that Mrs. Au-
gusta N. Rosenwald, wife of julius,
owned 1886 shares of Sears-Roebuck

that each project should receive funds

The Republicans of this town closed

Have Dropped 5
Out of Last Nine
Pitchers Are Go
ing Bad
RED SOX GAIN

New York, Sept, by superior
ball playing, Boston elinched it's grip
on first place in the National League
race during the past week, and now
holds the lead by an even two-game
margin over New York. The Braves
proved their metal by defeating the
Giants in two games in three in the
series early in the week and won
enough additional games from the
Phiiadelphias to bring their playing
rate for the week up to the .667 mark.
Meanwhile the Giants, losing five out
of nine games, were playing only at a
.444 clip. This pronounced disparity
shows why Stallings men, despite
their Saturday defeat by Brooklyn,
are today well out in front, although
by no such margin that they can af-
ford to allow their fast gait to slack
en-.
The chances of the Giants regaining
lost ground seem poor unless their
pitchers do far cleverer work. The
failure of Marquard to win even one
of his last 10 games has been a Sc
we're handicap to McGraw's men while
Demaree has been of little use to them

es of Stallings' men appreciably.
Boston cut into Philadelphia lead

the week just ended, but the Red Sex
are still seven and a half games dis
tant from the worlds champions. A
continuation of the slumping tenden-
eies the Athletics have shown in the
last two weeks. however, might give
at least a semblance of interest to the
closing days of the younger leagues
