GERMANY'S PEACE
MOVE WITH JAPAN
Premier 0kuma Said, However, That ia.
pan Would Adhere to the London
Peace Declaration Not to
Make Separate Peace.

Toxic, Feb. Confirmation of report
that Germany has been unnecessarily
trying to conclude separate peace with
Japan was made by Count Okuma, the
premier, in an interview with repre-
sentative OF the kol<umin Shimbun on
Jan. s. The premier believed this in
dicated that Germany was showing Ger.
tain signs of suffering, chiefly as re-
suit of the weakened condition of her
finances.
While no details Of the peace negotia-
tions were made public, the premier said
| it was hardly necessary to announce
that Japan would adhere to the London
peace declaration by which she had
agreed not to make separate peace.
Criticism in some quarters had arisen
because Japan's adhesion to the London
peace declaration was undertaken by the
government without consultation with
the privy council, but in defending the
governments action, Count 0kuma de-
clared il was natural result OF the
declaration Of war by Japan upon Ger
many
"The fact" he said, shat the anti
japanese sentiment in Canada, the Unit
ed States Australia and other countries
has gradually subsidized and is being re-
placed with a favorable sentiment to-
wards Japan is due to our acts OF loyal
ty To pledges"
At the same time the premier made
the important announcement that ia
pan is about to obtain from Russia
certain concessions in forestry, mining
and other industries in the northern half

MANITOBA GOES DRY


While most pee pie were Of the opinion
that Manitoba would vote for prohibi-
tion on Monday last, few expected that
the vote would be so overwhelmingly
against the liquor business. While full
returns are not complete at this writing
yet the vote already stands more than
two to one in favor of prohibiting the
sale of liqour in that province after June
lst of this year.
Winnipeg voted nearly 5000 majority
in favor of going dry which was some
what of surprise even to the temper
ance people. The soldier vote which was
expected to faver the sale generally went
dry by large majorities.
The result is somewhat surprising and
to some extent very remarkable. Liquor
selling in that province was already re.
stricted to hotels, under the. argument
that hotels could not be made profitable
without bar attachment. There are
sixty seven such hotel bars in Wlnni
peg alone and nearly two hundred in the
province.
The result is one more stroke of the
bell that is tolIlng the gradual death of
John Barlaycorn. The sound of that
funeral bell is reverberating all round
the earth. The noral forces and edu-
cation that have been going on quietly
but surely for the last fifty or more years
are now eliminating, and the liquor
business is fairly on the run.
From all the economic stand points
the liquor business has been driven.
Every argument whether financial or
moral has been proven against the busi-
ness.
Whiskey. money has no value. 1t does
not pay the drlnker, it does not pay the
saloon keeper, it does not pay the muni-
cipallty.
We append the results of the vote in
few of the towns which are our neigh
bors near the border. The first figures
quoted are favorable to prohibition and
the second are against prohibition

E. A. Purdy of Hamilton has sold his
480 acres to parties in South Dakota.
Mr. Purdy has resided in that neigh,

He has made no statement as to his
future intentions but will remain on the
farm and work it this summer.
Thomas Connell of Hamilton has been
confined to his home for sometime with
a lame foot. Had it not been that we
know Mr.. Connell and his temperate
habits so we'll we would infer that he is
laboring with the gout. Mr.. Connell's
habits have always been of the best
since we learned to know him which
dates back to the time he operated the
"Pembina. Hamilton stage line" in 1882.

The United States department of agri.
culture has issued circular to the ef-
feet that wheat called "Polish wheat"
is being offered to farmers in the west at
the exhorbitant price Of one dollar a
pound. 1t is of the Durum variety.
with larger kernel and longer head. 1t
is claimed by those having it for sale
that it will yield from s. to $50 bushel
per acre. The department says that the
accumulative evidence regarding this
wheat does not indicate that it has any
value that will in any way justify the
charge of a dollar pound for the seed,
and they ask the Pioneer Express to ad
wise the farmers not to be misled by the
glowing statements regarding yields and
value which has been made concerning
this variety.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

From what we can learn the socalled
Non. Partisan Political Party has COM
peteIy absorbed the Democratic party in
this part of the county. On the other
hand there are but few of the farmers
identified with the Republican party
who have joined them. This exodus
from the Democratic ranks reminds us
of the close of President Cleveland's first
administration. The discomfort with the
result of the Democratic policy fathered
the Populist party which amalgamated
with the Farmers Alliance. Many OF
our readers will remember the Glamour
there was to get on "the band wagon"
and the wonderful reforms that were to
be accomplished. The formers Alliance
lost Its identity and the politician rode
to success with loud cries for "reform.' -
The party fourished for while, but as
soon as they assumed responsibilities
through success at the polls they reach
ed their level and in few years the par
ty was extinct. Several of the leaders
were elected to Office which proved to
be the underlying principle of the
movement.
The Non Partisan Political Party diff
fers materially in it's organization from
the Populist Party the former takes in
actual farmers only, while the Populist
Party was open to all believers in
reform. Again, the Non-Partisan pro.
moters are charging the farmers mem.

TO join, and the membership claimed by
their official organ, they must have sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in the
treasury. This amount on the face of it
looks suspicious. The promoters nearly
all are strangers. Take pencil and fig
ure what 1t would cost to place an organ.
izer in every rural precinct in the state
for month, yes several months, and
compare it with the money that must
have been taken IN by the organizers
and it will astonish you.
The Pioneer Express publishes
this to place our readers ON the lookout
for class of politicians who prey upon
the public through all sorts of schemes,
which is often done. For twenty eight
years the Pioneer Express has been hew-
ing to the line as we have seen it, some
time in opposition to our financial inter.
ests and we leave our readers to judge
if we have not been right. Beware.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The intensity of the fighting at Yer
dun has apparently passed, at least for
the time, after three weeks of perhaps
one of the greatest battles of any war,
and certainly of this war.
That the Germans have suffered great
losses in this long continued struggle is
as certain as the fact that they are the
brave men that they are. That the
French have also suffered great losses is
as certain that it took great bravery to
withstand the awful assaults of the vast
hordes of men and guns that were pitted
against them.
What failure at Verdun means to
the Germans will rather be shown in the
future than at the present. Apparently
strategically there is as yet no important
change in the position of the battle lines.
In a general way the French lines are
nearly where they we're before the battle
while the German forces have moved up
nearer.
The general military policy OF General
Joffre has been carried out IN this strug-
gle. He has for the most part allowed
the Germans to do the assaulting. lie
is content to hold his lines against the
assaults. This has been the policy for
most of the time during the last year.
Joffre evidently believes that his
strongest alley is time. That if he can
just hold his iron band" about Ger
many that in time Germany will be de-.
feated. Certainly such a military policy
saves the expenditure of many lives for
the defenders and forces his opponents
to make desperate assaults like this at
Verdun with consequent losses with
small gains.

"WATcHFUL WAITING.

The dispatches of last Friday an
nounced that, at least for time, the
period of "watchful waiting" on the
Mexican border was ended.-and &C
cording to the story as told we were not
waiting very watcnfully, as shown by
the fact that thousand Mexicans under
Villa had no apparent trouble in sur.
prlsing body of u S. troops in boro-
er town.
The news as expected has raised big
excitement and war spirits" are flying
all over the land as thick as crows in the
spring.
And yet there is nothing to be surprs.
ed at. There's nothing but the expect.
ed happened. Indeed. there's nothing
happened very different than has oc.
Cured at various times during the last
two or three years, except there were
more American killed and wounded at
one time. The Mexican bandits have
been doing this sort of thing right along
while we have been watchfully wait.
ing.
Waiting for what? Watching for
what? The only answer is shown by
the orders from the President and the
war department.. The massacre at
Columbus is evidently what we we're
waiting for. and orders to our troops
the answer. Killing by ones, twos or
more we watched-while we waited un.
til they had killed score.
Waiting for what? Watching for
what?
Waiting for the Mexican to become
civilized? waiting until they learned to
love the'' e''Gringoes?" waiting until all the
brigands and bandits had killed each
other off; waiting until the poems found
Washington among them; waiting un-
til the foreigners who own or hope to
own ''concessions" joined in making
stable government.
And now what?
1t will probably be an easy job to
catch Villa unless he dissolves and seat.
ters his army which is the probability.
1t we catch him what shall we do with
him? II we hang or shoot him there
are several hundred other Villas to take
his place. Whatever is done we cannot
annihilate all Mexicans.
The immediate problem of catching
and hanging Villa is but small part of
the job. 1t is only an incident. It
makes little consequence in itself.
But what are we to do with and about
Mexico and Mexicans?
There live about ten millions of Mexi.
cans of whom about nine millions can
not read or write. Most of these are ab-
jectly poor. Most have no ambition:that
goes beyond the sundown of the present
day. 'Manana," (tomorrow) is in the
fal future, let mama take care of itself
We can fix up the Villa incident IN a
few days or weeks, but how many years
of watchful waiting and direct care will
it take US to civillze Mexico?
And no matter how long we may
watchfully wait on this side OF the line,
the history Of century, proves that lin.
ally we must cross over and govern that
country until they are able to govern
themselves.
The Pioneer Express, has for many
years believed that intervention would
finally be necessary ana We think most
people now agree with Us.
