America and Japan

S6XXIHY should America and Japan race to
w see who can keep the strongest line of
floating fortresses in the Paci6ci" is the question
asked yesterday by Mochizuci, head of the Japa-
nese parliamentary mission TO the United States,
in an address at Portland, Oregon.
Mochizuci suggested that the United States and
Japan should form concert guaranteeing Pa
cihc forever free of Notifications based upon an
understanding like that which has enabled Cam
ada and the United States to maintain three
thousand MILE boundary upon which there are no
soldiers, no guns, no forts
Whether or not the Japanese diplomats sug-
gestion is feasible--and almost anything of that
nature may be feasible after the war--it demon
strates one thing which the great conflict has done
fot this and other countries: 1t has brought about
an understanding, willingness to give and take,
a feehnghef fellowship, that promise much toward
the Advancement of human progress in the years
TO come - d.. ...,'
There is no denying that for several years the
relations between Japan and the United States
have been more or less strained. There has been
feeling of irritation on both sides, carefully fost-
cred not only by the jingoes OF the two coun-
tries, but by the treacherous agents OF Germany
who have abused the hospitality OF both America
and Japan to foment plots and stir up trouble.
But of recent months, particularly since the
United States and Japan became partners in the
great war OF justice upon injustice, democracy
upon autocracy, civilization upon barbarism
humanity upon the Hun, the old feeling of irri-
tation seems to have vanished. The recent visit
q Niscount Ishi to the United States did much
to smooth over the rough spots. Other japanese
missions have done their share toward allayng
whatever feeling of annoyance may have existed
upon either side. More particularly, however, has
the knowledge that America and Japan part
ners in the greatest conflict the world ever saw
tended to create better feeling and bring about
d more thorough understanding. 1872.
War is hideous thing, and the present world
war is the most hideous of all in all the history
OF the ages, but out of it good is coming. The
decent elements OF civilization have lined up to-
gether against the forces of evil the nations have
come to understand one another and to realize
that each has its Ideals its virtues, its desire tc
advance the interests of humanity in general a:
we'll as those of its own people. ~ -.
There is no reason why there should not b,
complete and understanding friendship between
Japan and America. Both nations want it and i
they want It, they can have it. Each must make
concessions The two must work together Anc
together they can accomplish many things for thu
betterment of humanity ~

ed with Captain Evans in the original
purchase at the auction, stated recent

also had a share in the boat, had dis
posed of their interests, amounting to
half, to the City Junk Company.

Holland I'm Dutch"

III OLLAND, which has been between the devil

years. is liable to slide off into deep water almost
any time While the sympathies Of the Dutch are
probably more with Germany than with the Al
lies, the great Netherland colonies Java and SUI
matra, are practically pawn for her continued
good behavior If Holland were TO throw in her
lot with her nearest neighbor, Germany, the Allies
would promptly seize her chief source OF wealth,
the Dutch East Indies. '.": ."
Z. As an illustration of conditions, Germany has
compelled the Dutch to agree sell her thirty-hye
percent of the fish catch during the coming winter,
offering to pay for the needed food with German
coal, commodity of which the Dutch are very
much in need. As counter move, England has
offered to charter one-thrd of the Dutch fishing
feet guaranteeing the vessel owners sum great
er than their customary profits it, instead of fish
ing for fish, they will just stay in port and do
nothing. sAe4Is

SPECTATORS In Bad Liuht.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A fed
eral grand jury in Boston a few days
ago indicted more than a score OF
people who had conspired and con
nived and succeeded in cornering the
onions in the country These fellows
bought up the 1916 crop at about two
cents per pound. Then with their
system of control they held the pub
lie up for as high as Is cents per
pound for their product.
The government holds that this Is
a conspiracy in restraint of trade and
as such is punishable under the stat.
utes. The courts will pass on the
issues later.
This situation prevails not only in
the case of the one item of onions
but in many other directions. Her
bert Hoover holds that food specula
tors are gathering in $50,000,000 ev
cry month in this country as practic,
ally illegitimate profit from such
combinations as were effected by
people with this onion product.
Bread which is selling in our east
ern cities at Is cents per loaf is be
ing sold across the border where food
control is established at cents pei
loaf
Now who are the members of con
gress who oppose legitimate control
of food products working for-the
everyday man in the street or such
ghouls as these onion spectators who
have been indicted in Boston court

THE DRIVE AT FOOD PRICES.

/ Regardless of changes accomplished and to
come in the food control bill, consumers will
rise up and call Mr.. Hoover blessed if the new
| food administration does what it promises to
do when it receives the necessary authority
from congress. They are told in Washington
dispatches that the ten-cent loaf is to go, and
other statements not less welcome have been
sent over the wires. Grain and flour experts In
the service of the government say that bread
prices are ''inflated to an extraordinary de-
gree" The consumer, patient but not always
slow to wrath, has suspected as much Prices
of meat and sugar will be forced to drop along
with breadstuffs,'' is the news sent out from
the national capital Good news, but not, let
us hope, too good to be true "Other com
modities will experience reductions as basis is
discovered for the belief that the prices are
we are told. Perhaps the
ssbasis'' for which Mr.. Hoover is looking will
he found in the fact that in England, France
and Italy, bakers are baking bread from wheat
imported from the United States and selling 1t
at prices lower than those charged in this coun-
try. Food control has been established in Eng
land Without waiting for the enactment OF
legislation, the men who handle food in the
United States have established it here. There
is reason to believe that they have found it ex-
tremely profitable. Certain changes are pro-
posed in the interest of persons who have moth
ing except their labor to sell, and who must buy
and eat in order to live. The changes cannot
be made too soon
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-07-02
The Policy of Hope.

The New Republic: The state OF
mind of the American people will
alter later in the year, when they
begin to pay the price OF the war in
personal sacrifices, in suffering and
in blood as well as in money. But
suffering will not make them fea--
full and revengeful. They did not
enter this war under the influence OF
anger, and it is not by cultivating
fear and anger that their interest in
their grim task can be sustained and
renewed. Their hesitation and re.
luctance to interfere in what most OF
them took to be an European quarrel
was finally overcome, because their
chosen leader won their allegiance
by emphasizing a great hope rather
than a great fear He persuaded
them to hope that by entering the waT
they could help to make similar wars
in the future less probable, that they
might succeed even in putting an
end to war. He asked them to
fight, because the insecurity with
which they were threatened by the
German submarine campaign could
be exercised only by the organization
with the help of the United States Of
general security league of nations.
1t is this hope which lies at the
very core of American national NOR
ale in relation to the war. Its proc
lamation by the president disarmed
or disconnected the bitterest oppon-
ents of war, and secured for him the
support OF the national conscience.

"The recommendation of the inter-
state commerce commission, repeat
ed in it's last annual report, that the
use of steel cars in passenger train
service be required seems in fair
way toward being carried out with
out further effort on the part OF the
commission" says the Railway Age
Gazette in an editorial in Its current
issue The editorial is based upon a
bulletin of the special committee on
relations of railway operation to
legislation, published in the same
issue, in which it is shown that only
three wooden cars for passenger train
service were built in 1916 and only
ten wooden cars for passenger train
January 1, 1917.
The building OF wooden passenger
train cars has practically ceased.
The bulletin shows that there were
in passenger train service on Janu-
airy 1, 1909, approxim ately 629 all
steel cars and 673 cars having steel
underframes. On January /, 1917.
there were in such service 1874 all
steel cars and 6,136 cars having steel
underframes, representing increases
of 2,405 per cent. and 812 per cent,
respectively. There are now in SER
vice 39,169 wooden cars in passenger
train service, indicating a retirement
of 1857 wooden cars from service
since January /, 1912, the date Of the
previous census. OF this number
2,213 were retired during the calen-
dar year 1916. This record includes
a total of 61,309 passenger train cars
and covers reports from roads rep
resenting 5.4O6 miles of railway in
the United States.
A significant addition to these
facts contained in the bulletin is a
statement of the approximate cost to
the railways of replacing with steel
cars the wooden cars now in passen-
ger service. The average cost per
car on the first of January varied
for the different classes of passenger
train equipment from $4,000 for a
baggage or express to $4,000 for a
parlor, sleeping or, dining car TAX

in service at the average cost of
each class, gives for the 39,169 cars

A certain amount of opposition is great
help to a man; it is what he wants and must
have to be good for anything.-John Neal.
THE MAN WHO Is ALL THERE. .

Employers pay too dearly for half man,
even at half price.
1t is not a mans time at his work that
counts, but his efficiency in it. The basis OF
this is enthusiasm, thoroughness.
Enthusiasm is the best half Of the man. En-
tbusiasm is to the man what steam is to an en-
CINE. Neither will go without it, unless it is
pulled or pushed.
Ability, talent and genius all good to
have. But there is one thing better, because it
embraces all that is good in all of these-thor-
loughness The secret of mechanical, CONNER
cial financial or any other pre-eminence is dis
closed in the one word-thoroughness
The thorough man need never fear to lose his
lob. He and his Job are one and insparabe. His
work is his own a part of himself, and he can
take it with him wherever he goes His en-
,ployer is far more afraid Of losing him than he
lis of losing his job. He who has mastered his
lob is the securest Of capitalists.
Ability may shine and them but thor
oughness is the tabled tortoise in the race.
Genius may dazzle at times, but thoroughness
may be depended on all the time.
The thorough men are the foundation stones
of any business. The unframed, time-serving,
clock watching ones are poor material for even
the slightest superstructure.
And he who loves his work will be thorough
in if, He loves it not merely for what he can
get out of it, but for what he can put into it.
His incentive to work is not the mere animal
need of subsistence but the human impulse to
excel. to- develop himself and to be OF real serv-
ice to mankind.
A man can be no bigger than his enthusiasm

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE LITTLE RED scHootAoUsE.


How my heart is the little red schoolhouse,
That stands the hill meath the tree leafy shade,
How oft in dreams do fancy see it,
And cen the greensward frolicked and played
And woe to the hand that shall dare assail It,
It's champions are many, both fearless and brave
And he who shall threaten its veal will bewail 1t,
For millions the red schoolhouse to save
the schoohouse, the little red schoohouse
And long Ger its portals our banner shall wave.
How oft in past have welcomed the stranger
the Of king-r1dden land;
Too long have trusted, unmndful of danger.
When grasping in friendship treacherous hand
The pride fa-hers will cherish;
A fount knowledge 1t ever shall be;
A God given blessing that never shall perish,
A bulwark of freedom from inland to
schoolhouse the little red schoohouse
While breathes there foe in the land of the free
The spirit of freedom which guided our fathers
No longer shall sumber while danger is near
OF all the rich blessings God gave to cherish,
The little red schoolhouse hold the most dear.
And woe O the hand that shall dare to assai 1T
For millions have the red schoohouse to save
We'll stand by schoohouse the little req schoohouse
And long DER its portals banner shall wave.
