Fears that Japan s recent moves in the
Orient.are directed toward softly but firmly
closing the supposedly "open door" are APP
parently behind the state departments recent
act in sending identical notes to Toxic and
Picking on May Is. 1t was not until late in
June that the news of these notes became pub
lie. This was week after China had been
forced finally to accept the modified japanese
demands.
That these demands endanger American
treaty rights in the Orient is more than sus-
picion Japan, it is fairly certain, is seeking
to drive her wedge of dominance deeper into
her great, fruitful neighbor. The American
note in substance is:
In view of the negotiations which pend
ing between the government Of China and the gov,
eminent of Japan and OF the agreements which have
been reached result thereof. the government OF
the United States has the honor to notify the gov
eminent Of the Chinese republic that it cannot recog
nize any agreement undertaking which has been
entered into which may be entered into, between
the governments of China and Japan impartng the
treaty rights of the United States and its citizens In
China, the political territorial integrity of the re-
public of China the international policy relative to
China, commonly known as the open door policy.
Great Britain and Russia as well as Japan
and the United States are deeply concerned
in the Chinese situation. Great Britain is in
no position now to oppose Japan, and Russia
apparently prefers division of territory and
a working alliance rather than another fight.
But when the European war is over there is
bound to be a reckoning Europe then will be
in position to cheekmate Japan.
The American note lays the ground for the
reopening of the subject so far as the United
States is concerned, when the war is over, the
permanent disposition of Tsingtau comes up
for consideration, and other matters dealing
with Japan's occupation of Chinese territory
are discussed.

EXPLAIN THE CHARTER PLANS.

There is no royal road, no short and easy
path. to model charter for Honolulu.
No set of men, however intelligent and earn
est they may be, can put through a model
charter without campaign of education
among the voters.
They will have to campaign in the precincts
with patient application and untiring industry
Ito sit close and stay long.
1t has taken years of propaganda work to
bring Honolulu to the point where recognition
is given the local assessment plan of street and
highway Improvement. 1t may take other
years TO secure the more radical departure Of
a short ballot system of municipal govern
ment.
Oakland, city which has the advantage of
Honolulu in possessing an electorate largely
familiar by personal experience with modern
charters, has found it necessary to educate the
voters in the necessity for change Homo
lulan now visiting on the Coast sends to the
Star-Bulletin copy of the San Francisco Call
in which is set forth at some length the plan
of an educational campaign proposed in the
trans-bay cities. An extract reads as fellows:
Members of the Alameda County srax Association
today preparing for campaign 10 acquaint the.
citizens Of Oakland with the provisions OF proposed
amendments to the city charter. The draft Of these
changes Is to be read at a meeting Monday night
The amendments will then be referred to commit
tee of from 200 to 400 members, composed Of dele
gates from the Improvement clubs and civic organ-
zations passed upon by that committee and referred
by Il TO a committee of 1000 representative Citizens
before 1t is placed before the people on ballot,
In submitting the proposed changes In the Char
ter OF the City and Oakland the committee believes
that the majority Of the people Of the city want
democracy, business system of government and
efficiency combined, system that will make the
tax dollar an efficient dollar, going much further
than does at present and rendering back one hun
dred cents in value to the taxpayers
The amendments give the voters full control over
the policies OF the municipality. and the opportunity,
II these policies not properly carried out to hx
the responsibility therefor, and to demand and make
the necessary change.
This is perfectly applicable to Honolulu. 1t
is noticeable that the city manager plan is
proposed, that the offices Of mayor, councilmen,
commissioners and school directors are elective
and the incumbents serve without salary.
Other provisions are that all chief officials
except the city manager, in fact all officials
except the policy making bodies, shall be under
civil service; the committee believing that
there is no reason why a trained head of a. de-
partment should be removed upon change of
administration, any more than the incoming
council should be given new city hall in which
to do its work.
The amendments provide for the rule OF
one compelling the appointing power to select
the highest on the list.

BEGINNING TO WORK.

The public utilities commission is beginning
to do the work it was intended to do-begin-
ming after nearly two years of virtual mac
tivity.
1T has been passive instead of an active
body, receptive instead Of aggressive. Instead
of making itself definitely valuable to the ter
ritory it has been almost as useless as an APP
pendix, and almost as costly. The fault has
not been with the commissioners themselves.
For most of its existence the commission has
had no chairman and was seldom able to mus
ter more than two out of three members. Under
the circumstances it could do little but receive
statistics and in rather perfunctory way ex-
anime now and again some public service cor
poration matters.
The commission was created by the legisla4
ture because of quite natural feeling through
the territory that there should be some public
body to represent the people in dealing with
the service corporations. In the comparatively
few instances where the commission might
have done some constructive investigating, it
was disorganized and lacked driving power.
The number Of postponed meetings and de-
layed actions rs by far too large. The COM
mission has been in danger of being regarded
as an amiable ioke-and maysstill be,

THIS i. IS THE. YEAR TO BUILD
ANYONE who can, with accuracy,
4 \ prophesy the future. very far in ad-
vance these days, must have very keen
foresight and wonderful vision. World
conditions are such that to see clearly at the present
time what is going to happen in six months, or even
ina month is impossible. D. a".". Il
Therefore it is not with any idea Of foreomhng the fmure. that We ugeo r read
'' ato do their building this year but rather from a careful study Of the past and q r.
firm belief that the future holds progress for us. Certain is thatw of the good state
Of NORTH DAKOTA have ra@n to be very thankful for the opportunities that are
~ ours today and no part Of hose opportunities should be overlooked
No one can deny that this prng holds promise Of a bright prosperous and profit
able yeart all who are ready to take advantage fl it. For mme than a year past the
business world, as awhos has been resting on its oars so to speak drifting with the
current But nov there is a distinct forward movement in the ship of business It's
getting into mohon.
BISMARCK and vicinity is already showing up WE'LL this renewed activity: Pre-.
nmnany operations are quite noticeable. Cleanup week wa observed to a great *:
tent putting or town and vicinity in the ranks Of the ctmet Of them. Extensive re-
pairs have been and are being made, Farmers are improving their equipment from
houses down. Grain and live stock equipment in general are being put into such
shape that the greatest possible profits can be made from the year business
One great reason TO this activity in building and improving is seen from a care
full study Of market conditions which indicate that building material md labor rics
are as low as they probably will ever get and this one fact aloneis a good and sufficient
reason why building operations should be very heavy this year.. Thsis entirely aside
from the fact that to make the most Of this years operations farmers particularly

A fight for the worlds heavy.
weight puGilistlc championship will
take place at Havana, Cuba, Satur-
day, April 3. between Jack Johnson
and Jess Willard.
The last obstacle in the way of
having the fight take place here was
removed when Jack Curley, who en-
deavored to have the men meet at
Juarez, Mexico, March 6 received a
cablegram from Willard saying that
he would start Immediately for Ha-
vana, arriving there from New Or
leans March Is. The terms for the
fight are identical with those which
would have prevailed had the encoun-
ter taken place at Juarez.
Mr.. Curley will act as the chief
promoter, and will be assisted by
Richard Klegin, as managing direct
or. The site for the battle has not
yet been selected, but excellent places
are available.
Johnson has begun training at Ha-
Vana. Wilson will probably have
training quarters at Marianac.

U. OF o. TRACK MEET
UNDER NEW PLAN

The University of Oregon is prepar-
ing to send invitations to nearly 200
high schools in Oregon to send en-
tries to the annual interscholastic
track meet to be held there May Is.
At this time the best athletes from
all over the state will be in Eugene
to compete for the championship of
the state.
One hundred athletes will be in at
tendance. This is but half the num-
ber that came last year, but a new
system is to be introduced this year.
The plan is to eliminate those ath-
letes who are not in the winning
class and cut out those who come,
without a chance to win, largely for
the trip at the expense of the student
body of the university
The elimination is to be made by
the university. Every school in the
state is asked to hold it's tryout in
regulation manner, and the records
of the winners will be submitted to
the university. From these records
the university authorities will select
the states 100 best athletes, and
these will compete.
In this manner much of the cumber-
somness of large meet will be elimi-
mated and more than ever the races
will be those of extreme interschol-
astic skill against skill. This annual
event has been something looked for
ward to by the high schools of the
state, and they train for it as the
university and o. A. c. teams train
for each other. The Portland teams
view each other with especial COM
petition, and at the same time it
gives the athletes outside of the me-
tropolis an opportunity to meet the
much-touted Portland runners.
