What the japanese
Seriously Believe.

seriously belleve. ousIv believe
that they are the most remarkable Of
the peoples Of earth. Perhaps it is
partly our fault; we have been telling
them so for fifty years. They believe
in their mission, which Is to unite east
and west, to dominate the orient and
act as a mediator between orient and
occident. Their great men tell them, and
they believe 1t, that the japanese Is
the moral and intellectual superior OF
any other human being. For this rea-
son race prejudice against them has
never stirred them deeply. Race pref
udice only cuts when the injured race
has consciousness of inferiortty.
But the Japanese pride is affronted by
any discrimination against Japan as a
nation. Her pride and her creed demand
that the proudest of nations recognize
her as an equal Anything less is an in
suit to the whole fabric Of Japanese So
ciety from top to bottom. Japan will
go to any length rather than to labor
Indefinitely under the least stigma Of
inferiority.
Another effect Of the Japanese re-
ligion of loyalty worth considering is
its effect in questions of war and the
declaration of war. It prevents the
forming of an opposition party under
such circumstances, because such oppo-
sition Is deprived of the sanction of
principle which 1t often has in a west
ern country. There are what purport to
be powerful peace societies in Japan,
yet neither before the Chinese. nor the

Russian. nor the present German war
did they make any opposition worth
mentioning. Neither do the peace advo-
Gates OF Japan, either Japanese or
American, attack the japanese army
and navy expansion schemes. They
content themselves with attacking the
military program OF the United States
Of America

tally important to an understanding
Of Japan and the Japanese. These ele-
ments explain largely the aggressive
militarism of Japan in the past and her
vaunting and ruthless ambition today.
They explain the perfect solidarity Of
the nation in the face of a foreign op-
ponent. They hint at the lengths to
which Japan will go in her effort TO put
herself in the front rank commercially
and industrialiy in spite of natural
handicaps. They give a significant in
dtcation OF Japan's real attitude toward
such matters as exclusion and discrimi-
nation.
These national characteristics mean
more than that. They mean. also, a
nation militant. the sitting Of pacifist
protest, the moral justification OF war
as a means Of serving the state-they
mean the placing of the nation as an
instrument in the hands of a few men.
That instrument has been turned
against China. against Russia, against
Germany. 1t behooves the United States
Of America to consider whittier 1t may

: Burglary in Benton.

The safe at the R. E. Wyche store
was opend and robbed of about 500 in
cash yesterday morning between mid
night and daylight. A valuable gold
watch, belonging to Mr.. R. E. Wyche,
was also secured by the robber. The
party who cleaned out the safe did not
scorn nickels. He got between Sis and
$50 of his loot in that small coinage.
The safe was not locked, and the open
ing of the outer door was not difficult.
The inside lockers we're smashed with
a butchers cleaver, which was found
later beside the safe along with butch
er knife that had been broken. A box
of matches was found beside the safe.
The robber had pulled down the window
shades and done his work by the light
of matches. No other valuables in the
store were missing, on first examination,
at least. Neither was it apparent how
the entrance to the store was made.
Money in any large amount is seldom
kept in the safe, it being used principally
to secure the books in case of fire. If
such a safe is blown the books are near
ly always ruined, which accounts for it
not being locked at all times.
The Cotton Belt railway Office was
also entered the same morning. The
safe here was locked and was not dis
turbed. Only the ticket agents change
drawer was smashed and the sum OF 70
cents is missing. The burglar opened a
number Of express packages but found
no valuables he cared to take away.
There are many theories as to how the
robber made his entrances, but they have
thus far led to no clue as to the indemnity
of the theft. There were several strang-
ers camped around Benton Tuesday night
and some other people unknown here who
were loafing about the streets the same
afternoon and evening. 1t is generally
conceded that the man who did the work
was an amateur. He made no attempt
to get at the contents OF the safe in the
railway Office. An expert craftsman, i
is thought, would have found little diff.
Guilty in opening the safe.

PROBLEM FOR RAILROADS

PITY the poor railroads"
The Association of Western Rail-
ways declares that the railway en-
ployes' demands for an eight-hour day
and increased pay for overtime are
unreasonable and will increase the
pay % per cent. This is of such mag
nitude that it cannot even be consid-
cred with the present level of railway
passenger and freight rates." it is an
nounced.
If this be true, the railroads are
plainly up against it," The employees
say they will not arbitrate the mat
ter and will walk out if their demands
are not met. The railroads cannot
raise passenge- and freight rates
without permission of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. On the other
hand. the government can compel the
railroads to operate trains, but it
can't compel men to work.
