your" is a remark often made to this
writer.
Yep, nothing at all to do. Ab-so-
loot-ly nothing. Once the paper is
printed all any editor has to do is
to sit around watching the little bills
come due. and gently shaking his
money bush until enough dollars
drop off TO pay those, these or them
bills. When the editor is not running
off the paper his fayorite pastime is
to recline on a divan, smoking a fine
f~ull-flayored stogie and watching the
subscribers struggling with each
other TO get on his list and pay the
fartherest in advance. If he becomes
restless he puts out his cigar, slips it
in his hip pocket and saunters non
chalantly down the Boulevard de
Main just to hear the merchants
clamor for additional space as with
tears in their eyes they dog his foot
steps. And the way the news hunts
the editor Is pleasant to contemplate.
When the paper is out the editor goes
to his desk leans back on his chair,
looks wise and waits till the day be
fore the East press day, when the peo-
ple line up in front his desk and tell
him all the news of the week. He

cabled reports from far eastern news
centers. such as Picking and Toxic,
prove this. inasmuch as il is announced
from time to time that Japan has con
scented to the abandonment of this
point or China has consented to the
abandonment of that point. 1t is fur
ther pointed out that. some of the sit
uatfons upon which Japan has made
suggestions are very serious for that
country. China being her nearest
neighbor. and no matter how much the
other powers may try to minimize the
fact, it remains a fact that Japan is
the country of all in the world most
vitality concerned as to the develops
ment of China.
John Hay, when he was Secretary OF
State, enunciated the open door" pol
icy of the United States as to China. 1t
was originated by the United States
and the great powers accepted it.
Briefly. this open door, policy provid-
ed for equal commercial opportunity in
China for all the countries of the world
as the basis for the maintenance of the
status quo Under that policy, no ma
ton was to seek to force upon China
a special sphere of influence of it's own
The policy was intended, il is said. as
a check upon Russia, principally, al
though there was at that time a dis
position upon the part of all the great
powers to PARTITION China into zones of
influence. Having divided China, it was
intended to put into effect trade regula-
ttons fayoring the nationals Of various
great powers.

Astute Chinese Diplomacy ..
May Have Brought About
Demands Made by Japan

Reports that big business" concerns,
such as the Standard Oil Company of
New York and a great tobacco COM
pany affiliated with the American To-
bacco Company as published in The
Star yesterday afternoon, are anxious
as to whether the Washington authori-
ties are to maintain, If. they can, the
open door, policy in. China, created
considerable interest in the capital la st
night.
The somewhat surprising view that
the government of China may have in
duced the demands of Japan was ex-
pressed last night by an attorney in
international practice, who has had
much to do with far eastern affairs,
and is well acquainted with Chinese
and japanese diplomacy. 1t was said
that the great game" of Chinese
statesmen has always been to play
one of the international powers against
another, and il was said to be possible
that Chinese statesmen. desiring to
perfect their plans for the republic
have allowed Japanese statesmen to
understand that they would not be un-
willing to discuss certain demands"
some of which have been included in
what Japan has asked China for.
This perfectihg of plans China expects
to do. it is said, while the powers are
discussing Japan's demands
They Are '"suggestions."
In this connection, 1T was said last
night, that the items now under dis
cussion between Japan and China may
not properly be called demands" 1t
is said,. on. the contrary. that they are
merely ."suggestions,. and the daily
