STARvE OR EMlGRATE,

Starvation or emigration are the al
ternatiVes before the Japanese masses
in view of their increasing numbers
and restricted area of arabic land in
japan, according to Tetsu Maxi. a
sugar manufacturer. who recently
contributed five articles to the Jill.
Japan's foreign trade is by no means
capable, he thinks, of sustaining the
whole increase of the nation and en-
igration is therefore necessary.
He visited the japanese in Hawaii,
Peru and Brazil and was depressed at
the sight of their miserable condition.
He enumerates three causes which
handicap the Japanese emigrant. The
first is lack of pioneer spirit on the
part of the emigrants; the second is
the unwisdom of emigration companies
| and the third il the lack of guidance
! and support by the government. The
japanese emigrants. in fact, are
| simply thrown abroad. He regards
South America as the best field fol

OUR PROSPEROUS COLONIES.

The offer of the $4,000 young Fill
pinos to enlist in the United States
army is a fine example of patriotism
and progress in our colonial possess
sions. Along with it came a large con-
tribution for the Red Cross. Education
and citizenship have grown to an as
founding degree in the Philippines due
largely. to the contrast between the
rule of grating Spaniards and our own
American methods.
There are, however, material rea-
sons for believing that the United
States made a good investment in the
purchase OF the Philippine islands
Prior to American occupation our ex.

PATRIOTISM AND PROFITS.

In appealing to the business elements

policy of grab in the interests of the
public good and for upholding of JUS
tice and the cause OF humanity Presi-
dent Wilson aims to enlist private
soul searching as an aid to the en-
forcement Of necessary war statutes.
His plea is to all who have anything
for sale, either to the government or
to individuals. He reminds them that
national honor and national safety are
at stake.
Speaking of those who maintain that
more than a just price. more than a
price which will sustain our industries
must be paid under war conditions. the
president asks: do YOU mean that
you will exact a price, drive a bargain,
with the men who are enduring the
agony of this war on the battlefields,
In the trenches amidst the lurking
dangers of the sea. or with the be-
reaved women and pitiful children. be-
fore you will come forward to do your
duty and give some part of your life.

THE MORNING SMILE.
Fretting at Fate.


One has heard it oft repeated
That in Life n lot are cheated
When the sorrow and the glee
Is assigned,
Some are given easy sailing,
Some in woe and want are wailing,
Fate by some IL found to be-
Scarcely kind.
Old and ancient is the notion
That this LIES a boundless ocean,
Where few in ease may fare,
Others sink;
Those who find the going rougher,
Sob of how they have to suffer.
Things are seldom just or square,
So they think.
So historic and so hoary
Is this same old fearful story,
How but few have ever had
Half n show,
That perhaps we ought to mention,
If We've taken your attention.
We had only meant to add

This will be a tremendous work. The

CHINA IN THE THRoES.

Despite press dispatches to the ef-
feet that republican government has
won it's case in China, the affairs Of
that distressed nation are far from
nese are yet in the throes of political
upheaval. And their case Illustrates
admirably how hard reaction dies.
Every change of government from
monarchy to republic has it's periods
of tendency back toward the old
regime. So with China today.
France did not become a republic in
a week, nor yet a month. nor indeed,
for years after the first overthrow of
lis. There was governmental see
saw from the monarchical to the re-
publican and back again. which COW
cred more than a century. 1t was
Louis XVI. who said, 1.-THE sovereign
authority resides exclusively in my
person." He acceded to the throne in
l774 and it was under his regime that
Calonne, as controller general. precipi-
tated the French Revolution. Followed
then the events which eliminated in
1875 when the assembly passed a series
OF three laws organizing the govern
ment. These laws since have served
as the French constitution.
PortugaTs republican government
was founded after similar, though less
extensive reactions. There is little
stability to the present republic of
Mexico. England for many years
fought it out before its present popular
government was established. Even in
our own United States, internal trou-
bles led up to a civil war which was
the result of disagreement over the
powers of the federal authorities. II
is probable that before Russia be-
comes a stable republic. the people OF
that nation also will undergo their re-
actions.
This Is the story Of republican gov
eminent from the beginning of the re-
publican idea.
In China today, the president has
been deposed and warfare is impend
ing. Efforts of the United States to
conciliate the people of the nation and
to establish republican government
have been baked from the begnnine
by General Chang Hsun, formerly the
iliterate coachman Of the old Dow
ager. He is known as the Butcher
to the people of China and to the sol
diers who follow him because he pays
them well.
Where he gets his yuan" to pay
them is not known. It is known that
Japan's policy in China is to keep the
people there in n condition of constant
unrest. in order that she may accom-
plsh her Japanization program.
1t is not improbable that from the
islands of Japan, now rapidly becom-
ing one of the weaHhiest nations of
the earth, comes the funds which are
furthering the disturbances which now
have divided the Chinese?
