Two Letters From Midnight OIL
Burners.

Elsewhere on this page we print
two letters from pupils In the night
schools of this town who urge us to
join with them in an effort to correct
what they and THE Sun conceive to
be n serious blunder on the part of
the authorities in curtailing the IA
cilities hitherto offered to persons
who earn their living in the day
time and want to train their minds
at night.
We know Of many government en-
terrrises that might he discontinued
or restricted without inflicting seri.
Gus loss or inconvenience on the pub.
lie, but the night schools are not
among them. In these institutions
earnest men and women. frequently
at great sacrifice. labor diligently to
improve their condition. to equip
themselves worthily TO perform their
duties. to raise themselves to higher
planes Of living. They do this. not
under compulsion Of the law. not in
obedience to fashion, but from innate
ambition and good will. Their dispo-
sition Is to overcome the handicap
unfavorable circumstances imposed
on them in their youth. and the State
should take advantage Of this dispo-
sition and encourage those in whom
1t is manifest.
The development and extension Of
the night schools. important to the
pupils therein. is of far greater mo-
ment TO the community. The moral
obligation on us to provide for the
education of these eager learners Is
heavy: the opportunity they offer for
the exhibition of truly enlightened
public policy is obvious, and If we do
not utilize this opportunity the State
must pay heavy penalty for Its
shortsightedness and neglect.

japanese Testimony - to the En-.
cheney Of the Seamen's Law.

A special correspondent Of the Ere
ming Post. writing from Toxic under
date Of December 26 Of last year. pre-.
sents the subjoined exultant Japanese
version Of the shipping situation in
the Pacific Ocean:
Tho merchant marine Of the belliger-
ent nations vanished almost wholly from
the Pacific during the early days os the
war and then came the seamen's bill at
Washington. which at one fell swoop
wiped American shipping from Oriental
waters, giving Japan just the oppor-
tunity she needed TO consolidate her
shipping lines and get control OF the
routes leaving her in better position
to meet the enormously. increased de-
mand for bottoms
Europe and America. especially the
latter. are almost wholly dependent on
japanese ships 20 carry their large an
nual imports from the Orient. as well as
to carry their still larger exports to the
Far East.
AT ono stroke the American Govern
ment swept 5000 tons o. American
shipping from the Pacific and what
would exporters have done had not Ja-
pan been ready to step into the breach"
The Posts correspondent informs
us that with the shipping routes so
largely in their own hands there has
been a natural decrease in European
and American trade. with Il corre-
spending increase In Japanese cx-
ports Prosperity has been conferred
on the transportation companies and
on the japanese shipyards. The leg

signed by WILSON has contributed

something in recognition of their ben.
