No Trouble with Japan.
Boston Herald.)

1t is easy enough to demonstrat,
that the proud and sensitive Japanese
people have resented the attitude Of
California and the Pacific slope in gen
eral. But that is small foundation
for the war scare that periodically
takes Turtle bay or Magdalcna bay,
or Mexico or Hawaii or the Philippines
as text. The statesmen of Japan
know that their country is too poor
to dream of war against a great power
in this generation, and they are not
unmindful of the great problems that
they have to wrestle with at home.
The problems that involve Manchuria,
Korea and China are so big that they
are far from wanting Philippine
problem added, and the near by field
for migration and development is now
so vast and so alluring that they are
hardly planning to annex our Pacific
slope If there has been commercial
jealousy or suspicion it must have dis
appeared when our Democratic Con
gress obliginglv took the American
flag off the Pacific and turned over our
trans Pacific trade to their hands. A
war with Japan is just about as likely
as war with Mars.

NERVOUS RESTAURANTS.

There has sprung up within the last
few years a type of chaotic cafe in
which you can save a dime, possibly
fifteen cents, on a meal, and in so doing
subtract a week or ten days from the to-
tai Of your life. Primal conditions, Of
food gathering are restored in these res
taurants. The law of the survival of
the fttest is revived. Thousands fall
under foot in these restaurants every
day in the struggle for loaf sugar and
leather sandwiches. These cafes are
sending wagonloads of Inconsistencies
to the hospitals.
You can hear their CHATTER for three
blocks. Sometimes you can hear two
of these restaurants at once, in which
case it is almost deafening. Since the
CHATTER of these restaurants has been
added to the rattle of street ears it is
pretty hard to endure the cities.
These restaurants ought to pad their

but they could raise the price of a

Japan is a small, restless nation
which is thinking of Aomesteading a
claim on the Pacific ocean. There
are several islands in the Pacific on
which Japan would like to grow her

vented from doing so by the navy of
the United States, which plants itself

Japan has a very fertile soil and
produces more population to the square
yard than anybody else except China,
whose inhabitants are obliged to sleep
in layers of pig-tailed humanity Every
foot of tilIable land in Japan is oc-
cupied by people who cannot move in
any direction without a head-on col
lision. y few years ago Japan seized
Korea and moved a few million of her
Acknowledged subjects into the same,
but her birth rate has now caught up
with the disbursements and most of
her citizens have to stand on one foot

it is to secure a front seat at a Sunda Y

The soldier s oath, which caused a
number of men to balk from enlistment
at the last minute in Vermont. Massa-
chusctts and other states, binds a re
cruit to six years of service, three
years as an active soldier and three
years as a reserve, with the prospect OF
continuous work in the army for the
maximum period if he is needed.
Whether the change Of enlistment
% for the war; or for a period of three
years, as is the case with the regu-
lars. was made with the intention of
establishing Il trained reserve force we
are unable to say. When the Ameri-
can troops went to the Philippines the
men were enlisted for a certain period
two or three years. When their pc
RODS expired they left the islands il
large numbers to return to the states
as civilians, only a SIN IL percentage
eniisting for further life in the army
The result was that there was a short

time when trained men were sorely

stances, however, the call of immedi-
ate duty which drafts Colonel Ira l..
Reeves, the regular army officers, and
the cadet instructors, who were to
have been the school S officials, all in
to the active service of the United

para1ive insignifcance. Vermont and

pride and gratitude that they have the

Theodore Roosevelt refusal to run
as candidate on the progressive tick
ct marks him anew as one of the
shreWdest politicians in the country
and very nearly brings him into the
class of greatness. Personal feeling,
pride and impulse must have tugged
very strongly in the other direction,
but the conviction that his acceptance
would mean the election of the very
man he has most fiercely condemned
must have outweighed all other con
sidcrations. The Herald would say
that everything now seems clear for
the election Of Charles Evans Hughes
as the next President.

and noiseless varieties of subtcrranean
diplomacy known to the civilized
world. The mind of the japanese dip
lomat never strays away from home
and gets mouthy. The morning papers
in Japan did not know that war had
been declared against Russia until the
Gar woke up and found himself short

teaches Us that while we should love
and respect Japan as a sister nation,
it would be well to keep one eye
squinted in her direction ever and anon
and see that there is plenty of coal

Japan sends great deal of her ex-
cess baggage to California to teach
the natives of that state how to run
a truck garden and lay up money. As
result, all over southern California
have sprung up luxurious truck gardens
presided over by the non-perspiring
Japanese, who speak several words OF
English and live on the humble carrot.
The Japanese does not care for luxury
and will often be found wearing the
same shirt he came over here iii, but
he is a hard worker and makes a fine
a hired girl as anybody could ask for.
On this account he should he admittcl

trade commission to investigate the an
thracite coal business and find out, if
possible, who is responsible for what
is considered an unjustifable rise in
prices. If the investigation is under
taken the commission will give its at

of the leading producers. 1t is difficult
