WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

After years of watchful waiting
during which our government has done
such kind but firm work as our ignorant
neighbor would permit towards bring
ing about stable government and II
friendly desire to protect those whom
il had alIured within its borders for
commercial purposes, it seems that we
have conducted losing campaign of
education and that war literally stares
us in the face. No period of our history
presents the record of u time when our
people have been less disposed to lay
aside the arts of peace, and only Il
stern necessity from which there is no
turning is sufficient to drive US into n
war whose end is doubted by none but
whose details are Stunned by all.
The folly of this conflict is all the
greater when the blind ignorance of
these people is considered. As has been
aptly ygested, if those MeXicans re-
sponsihle for the future, including both
the leaders in shaping public opinion
and the leaders in handling the munitions
of war were marched through the length
and breadth of our land, 80 that they
might see for themselves its resources
and lts people, the absolute futility of
their threatened actions would certain
ly dawn upon them; but an Ignorance
of their own martial weakness as well
as our own strength leaves them wrap
ped in Il cloak of egotistic folly which
nothing short of machine gun can re-
move.
The fact is the world is calling upon
the Mexicans to furnish government
of which they are totally incapable, and
il will be only after the United States
duplicates there her treatment of Cuba
eighteen years ago that Mexico will be
fit for self respecting people to live in.
While speculation is rife whether or not
our soldiers will at this time get beyond
the borders of their respective states,
there is but little encouragement &c
hope that they will not, rs it will only
be putting off the evil day.
Whatever may be charged up against
the American people among their short.

meaning that Japanese finance was
now so advanced that his influence Is
no longer needed. But even now II does
not seem quite clear that the veteran
intends really to cut himself adrift
from the world where his long life has
been spent, for he added that he would
still contribute to the commercial and
Industrial interests of the nation be-
side taking an active part In work for
a better understanding between Japan
and other countries. When the Kokusai
News agency was founded three years
ago In order to disseminate the true
truth" about Japan by cables and news,
the baron became president of the COM
pany, post he still holds. This COM
pany owns the japan Times and Japan
Daily Mail, two newspapers printed In
English In Toxic, and controls the Reu-
ter cable service. both inward and out

His retirement gives rise to the ques-
ton of who will be his successor ms

was vice president until last year.

His business for the evening included
a lodge meeting, and, most important
of all, catching train for his home.

SOMETHING FLY COULDN'T Do
Robbie Was Able to Point Out Its
Limitations When Called Upon
to Admire Insect.

In the opinion of some persons, the
new teacher was going almost too far
I'm her attention to nature study. How
ever, the children appeared to enjoy
1t all, and. so far, no parents had made
open objection to the little talks on
birds, insects, and flowers with which
the teacher diversified the routine of
school work. So all went along quite
comfortably until the afternoon when
the fly and the flea were up for con-
sideration.
Following the teachers lead, the
children had all grown enthusiastic
over the astonishing acrobatic abilities
of the fly-all except Robbie May, who
for some time had been staring mood
lily at his desk, casting only occasional
glances ut the teacher, and those I'M
mistakably sullen.
1t became so noticeable by the time
they were all admiring the fact that
the fly can walk on the ceiling, that
the teacher paused and turned to the
boy.
"What Is the trouble, Robbie?" she
inquired. aren't you listening?
Aren't you interested in the talk?'
"Ye-es," granted Robbie reluctantly

INSIST ON FREQUENT CHANGE
Winter Asserts Women Are to Blame
for the Variations Of Styles
In Clothes.

Women want something new to wear
every few months. The absolute
truth of this statement is what puts
the world of women against reformers.
1t Is easy to read and write reams of
theories as to why women should not
indulge In the caprice of new
clothes; and. with delightful ingenious
ness, these dress reformers put the
blame on the style-makers and shops,
ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the
women.
Those who are sincere and those
who are insincere but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places, do not go far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed of her privilege of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
ever 1t is possible? What healthy
minded woman would want to &c
through life wearing the same gown
cut on the same lines and preserved
or copied, from season TO season.
Mary Garden, the opera singer, an
swered this whole question once in an
interview on the deck of a steamer
when she was sailing for Paris. II
was at the height Of the great hubbul
concerning the question of American
clothes only.
The reporter called up from the
gangplank. "When, in your opinion
will American women wear American
clothes only and show their patriot
ism?"
"When they're dead" she called GU
over the rail. "They can't protes
against an American shroud."-Ex

Tokio.-Baron Shlbusawa. president

The baron is well known in America
to which he made his last visit carly
this year. When In New York he had
long consultations with leading Ameri-
can financiers, his object being TO in

Japan intends to exploit In China.

in trying to persuade Wall street

IL they were going to find the money
