TRUST AND SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT.

Congressman Nelson is reported as
expressing grave doubts as to the wis
dom OF President Wilson's positive and
outspoken foreign policy. Standing
four square for peace, the President is
not afraid to say that his soul is his
own. The national administration in
sists that the United States has rights
which even warning nations must re-
spect And the indications are that
this insistence on the part of the great
est OF neutral nations, Notwithstanding
notes to the contrary from Berlin and
London, will result in good to the
world,-in mitigating the barbarities of
submarine warfare and in lifting the
embargo from American goods bound
for neutral ports. The people trust
their President; and their trust is we'll
founded.

Let There Be No III Feelinu.

Chippewa Falls Independent: 1t is
most earnestly to be hoped that the
present strained relations between the
United States and Germany will not
lead to any i'll feeling between Ameri
cans and individual Germans who are
citizens of this country. Americans
who were born in Germany will be
placed in very embarrassing positions
between their natural loyalty to the
land of their nativity and the land of
their adoption. Most of them will be
among the most loyal citizens America
has. They will be Americans without
any hyphen. But if some of them
should speak or act unwisely no right
minded American will vent upon limo
cent individuals his wrath for what a
foreign government has done. There
must be no such scenes in America of
rioting and personal abuse as have been
witnessed in England.

Making History.

The Chicago News: American diplo
macy has not always been respected in
the chancelleries of Europe. Crudity
ut times has marked our handling of
international affairs. When great is
sues did not impend political appoint
ments to positions in the American
state department too frequently have
brought reproach upon the efficiency of
that department.
In times of crisis, however, Ameri-
cans have usually acquitted themselves
with credit in the various fields of gov
eminent. that of diplomacy included.
In the present emergency American
diplomacy is seen at its best. Citizens
of this nation have right to feel salts
fed with the manner in which the pres
ident and his diplomatic advisers are
performing their work. President
Wilson, long a student of history, is
making history of wholly creditable
kind. The. present head of the state
department is trained diplomat who
brings to the Office the knowledge and
experience that are essential to eficien-
cy and wise action.
The various notes to Germany that
have emanated from Washington since

WAVE OF RELIGION
SWEEPS over JAPAN
Great Revival of Buddhism and
COnfuCianiSm at Hand.

Tokyo-"For the future of the state
it is necessary to fix the minds of the
people on the principles of some faith,
some religion" declares the Concordia
association in a resolution recently
adopted. This organization is COM
posed of leading Japanese, who are la
boring to awaken the youth. The res
olution, which has been forwarded to
the cabinet ministers and the members
of the diet, also says:
"Schoolteachers should not disregard
or slight or hinder the religious senses
which may be aroused in the mind and
heart of the pupil. The separation of
education and religion does not mean
that religion itself is unnecessary"
There are many indications of a re-
in Japan. Buddhist missionaries are
showing increased efforts in Korea and
have announced their intention of OBJ
tanning a stronger foothold in China.
At the invitation Of Japanese the
great Hindu poet and philosopher Ia
gore is to visit Japan in October to
eXpound his oriental philosophy. A
great Tagore movement is now surg
ing throughout Japan.
Profound interest is displayed in a
plan to found in that part of China
lately wrested from the Germans a
japanese university for the study of
the old Chinese classics and Confucian-
ism in general. The promoters, who
point out that Confucius was born in
Shangtung province, say they want to
make this university the Jerusalem
Of Confucianism.' The idea is to
spread COnfucianism and oriental NOR
al philosophy. The movement is
strongly supported by leading scholars
and business men of Japan and China.
who will bear the cost of the institu-
ton. Premier Okuma is one of the in
terested supporters, and prominent
scholars like Dr. Unokichi Hattori, who
will lecture at Harvard university this
fall, will take part in the new work

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

We see by the papers that Pacific
steamship companies are breathing out
threatenings and slaughter against the
new seaman's law When William F.
Villas took office as postmaster general
in Cleveland's first cabinet he had some
unpleasantness with Pacific mail steam
ship companies. Congress had passed
a law granting them subsidy for ex-
pediting the service. They demanded
the subsidy; but Col. Villas refused to
pay it out until they made good in the
matter of expediting. They sent law
yers to him to instruct him in the law
in the case made and provided, and as
to his duties Hereunder. They also
made vicious attack upon him through
narrow partisan newspapers. How he
discomftted them through his great
knowledge of law and by his mas
terful executive ability is matter Of
history. One morning the subsidy
grabbers said to him that unless he
weakened they would let the mail lie
on the docks. He :old them firmly that
he had made arrangements to send the
mail out through other channels; and
that if they had said their last word he
would do so. But they quickly with
drew their threat and carried the mail as
formerly, without subsidy. The pres
ent Pacific steamship companies might
learn lesson from the experience of
their forbears.

although the Marconi company uses
wire communication in it's tranSconti-
mental service.
San Francisco has been in wireless
communication for nearly year with
the Marconi station at Koko head on
Oahu island, in Hawaii, and recently
messages for the first time were ex-
changed between KOkO head and the
station at Funabashi, Japan. Wireless
communication from Japan extends to
Vladivostok, Russia. and to various
points in China and the orient.
The next link of the chain around
the world will be from Japan to Singa-
pore on the Malay peninsula, extend
ing the system of direct wireless COM
munication about 5000 miles farther.
A station at Singapore was to have
been erected as part of the British i'm
perial chain, but it has been de- lyed,
although it was said at the Marconi
offices that it probably would be COM
pleted within year.
The next great station west of Singa-
pore is to be at BangalOre, capital OF
Mysore, India. Then the next is to be
at Alden, on the southernmost tip Of
be at Alexandria, Egypt, which will
send messages east to Alden and west
to Carnarvon. Wales.
In spite Of the war, it is intended by
the British Marconi company to push
the imperial chain to completion, and
in a year or a little more it will be
possible to relay messages around the
$4,000 miles of the earth'S circumfer-
ence, a distance which for practical
purposes is increased considerably be-
cause the nine stations are not on
parallels of latitude.
From the main line round the earth
the wireless system will extend in all
directions, covering not only Europe
and North America, but Asia, South
America, Africa and the islands of the
orient with a network which will put
almost every city in the world in quick
communication with almost all Of the
others
The Marconi wireless stations in San
Francisco. Hawaii and Japan are the
most powerful in the world. The trans
hitting apparatus at each station is
equipped with thirteen towers, each
400 feet high They have 300 kilowatt
transmitters, which are three times as
powerful as those used at the Sayvflle
station in sending messages to Nauen,
Germany, 1000 miles away.

Canadians Make Long Trip on Way to
the Front.
New York. = Robert Frank, thirty
years old, an accountant, and George
Morley, forty-fve years old, an engi-
neer, both Englishmen, arrived here
Canadian northwest, a distance Of
1868 miles, on a motorcycle with side
cradle. They were on their way back
to England to enlist and sailed for
Liverpool on the Adriatic
Frank has served nine years in the
British army in the West Yorkshire
regiment and will enlist as a dispatch
rider with his motorcycle His part
ner will volunteer for the transport
service or in the munitions depart
ment.
"We left Saskatoon on June g."
Frank said to a reporter, carrying a
tent, stove and three grips, which, in
Guiding ourselves, weighed 1,O4G
pounds. Our machine can go eighty
five miles an hour without the cradle,
which reduced the speed to thirty -tive
miles. We had only two punctures
the whole way, which was pretty good,
considering the rough roads in North
Dakota and Minnesota, which were too
awful for words. The rains in those
states were heavier than had ever been
known before and detained us ten days
at Botineau, three days at Grand Forks
and two days at Fargo We followed
the old Yellowstone trail and camped
in our tent the whole time, which
made it very enjoyable. The only
drawback was the thick black mud in
North Dakota and Minnesota"

PRESS POINTS

Darlington Democrat: The American people
are unit in supporting President Wilson in
his efforts to clear the high of the usurpers
and to restore it to the people of all countries,
to whom it belongs.
Sheboygan Press: Gov. Philip has estab-
lished press bureau of his own with view of
telling the people of the state about the bricks
that have been thrown at him by the o-called
progressives. Well, they all belong in one
party so let them thresh it out, and when it is
all summed up the tax payers will find taxes as
high as in the past The best means Of lowering
the taxes is to turn out the creators of high
taxes.

Poets Idea of a Good Wife.

Bobby Burns, who will be remem.
bered as Scotch plowman, who
wrote poem now and then, once set
down his opinion of a good wife as fol
lows: "The scale of good wifeship |
divided in ten parts-good nature,
four; good sense, two; wit, one; per.
sonal charm, namely, sweet face, elo-
quent eyes, fine limbs, graceful car.
riage, all these, one; as for the other
qualities, such as fortune, connection
and education more than the ordinary
run, family, blood, ETC., divide the two
remaining degrees as you please"
