WATCH JAPAN

It is the boast of the Japanese that in a very short time Japan will be one of the greatest producing nations in the world. We believe it. The re- markable progress of that country during the war bears out the pro- phesy.
 Australia is planning a new tariff law with one eye, if not both of them, on Japan. England is planning pro- tective tariff law which shall ade- quately protect against the products of low-priced Japanese labor The United States-well, what is the United States planning! Is she planning adequate protection against Japan? We have no quarrel with Japan, but that is no reason why we should hire her workmen to do the work which our own workmen should do.
 It is needless to say that this coun- try is large and Japan is small; that we are IdTLnSf duVduCcu III AAe1AAN featuring lines than are the Japanese. It is true, to large extent. But is may not always be true if we do not look alive. Japan is rapidly becoming one of the greatest producing nations Tn the world. Although her territory IS not so large as ours and although we are farther advanced in modern inn provements, yet Japan, on equal terms, can undersell us in our own market in many and ever-increasing lines of production. Japan makes our hairbrushes, our toothbrushes, our matches, our fountain pens, our sew ing needles, our chinaware, our many other articles of consumption. She IS making them in ever-increasing quan' titles and she will continue to do so, unless we do one of two things. It is up to us. We can adopt Japanese standards of living and wages or we can enact an adequate protective tar if law. If we do the latter we need never fear coming to the former, but unless we do adopt one. we are on the way.

ersham is wanted by the people of Alaska he will be elected; if he is not wanted it is better for the Territory that he be deprived of doing further damage to our interests by giving majority against him that will over lastingly retire him from politics in Alaska.
 From all parts of the territory, from Democrats and Republicans alike comes the demand that MT. Wicker sham decide the recent election by appearing again before the voters. That he fears to do this and prefers to go before men unacquainted with his proclivities for exaggeration is shown by a statement made in this city on his recent visit, when he said: 'I do not want this office and would not make this contest but so many per sons have urged me to make the at tempt that I will be forced to do so."
 The recent illegal stunt pulled off in this city shows to what length the ex-delegate will go to hang on to his salary as delegate. It also shows that in ways that are devious and full of guile MT. Wickersham is past master. If he has the endorsement of as many Alaskans as he claims the election will be a walk-away for him. If he has not the Territory will be purged of it's greatest drawback for progress sion and advancement.
 Will he allow the people to decide the question, instead of biased and misinformed congressional commit tee, thousands of miles from the facts in the case.
 We are convinced that he will not! Miner.

The picture illustrates very old story of human under

Sometimes the story tells of human beings quarreing

believe and KNOW that the chameleon was white and the
other that it green
Both would be right and both wrong
Sometimes is the old story of two knights approach
ing trophy shield from opposite directions One
that is silver shield the other that it is gold They
prepare fight when third tells them that it is silver
side, gold on the other.
That illustrates fashion in which human beings fight
on matters OF religion, politics. etc
The story illustrated in the picture probably
of the oldest coming from India the elephant and
sanant philosophy have lived side by side for hundreds
centuries.
Mr. McCays picture tells you the old Indian legend of
SIX wise blind men and the elephant You them trying
to understand what it that they feel with their hands but
cannot see.
It is wall to the who leans against the elephants

And Shakespeare writes:

elephant has knees and he them to bend down
