Though the effort to communize the
industrial plants of Italy is admit
teddy a failure, the disturbances there
are increasing. The workers and own
ers IN the metal plants are approach
ing some measure of agreement, with
the aid of the government, but the
employees in other lines and the peas
ants in Sicily and other districts are
yielding TO the efforts of radical trou-
ble-makers. Seizure of lands by armed
peasants, beginning In Sicily, spread
to the north during the week aad
threatened to become nationwide.

This paper goes to press
with half the news items
left out. This is because
the n. j. Northern Gas COM
pany's plant is falling to
pieces.
Our linotype furnace is
heated by gas. And at this
critical time they shut it off
without a single word of
explanation.
1t is estimated that LAM
bertville alone pays about
$4,000 monthly for gas
which it does not get.
Only two clerks are in
the office. They employ two
meter readers. At the plant
they have but TWO MEN to
run the machinery which sup
plies all Hunterdon and part
of Mercer County. If they
were as diligent in hiring
men to run their plant as
they are to hire men to read
meters, they could give
some service.
And yet in the face of such
rotton service they ask a
raise in rates from $l.75 per
thousand to $2.25 per thous-
and cubic feet, and in addi-
ton, soc. per month for the
privilege of using their rot
ten service.
They have purposely let
their plant run down SO as
to have an excuse to ask for
Increased rates.
What are they doing with the thous-
ands of dollars they are now collect
ing?

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

Despite the undoubted fact that the
governments of the United States and
Japan are earnestly striving to arrive
at an amicable settlement of their diff
ferences, the relations between the two
nations are becoming more strained
daily. This does not mean that hos
tilities will ensue-such an eventual
fly is almost out of the question-but
the situation is giving undesirable op-
portunity to the alarmists and the
1ingoes of both countries and is real
ly worrying the statesmen and those
directly interested in international
commerce.
The administration at Washington
has sent to Tokyo a communication
stating just how far it is willing to
go to meet the desires of the Japan
csc, and this proposition was taken
under consideration by the japanese
cabinet. At neither capital was any
information given out as to the con-
tents of the American note, but it was
reported in Washington that one of
the fundamental considerations insist
ed upon by the administration is that
Japan shall give a new guarantee
against immigration, in the form of
an amendment either to the existing
treaty or TO the "gentlemen's agree
ment" under which since 1907 Japan
has undertaken to prevent the emigra-
ton of laborers to America.
If Japan agreed to accept any such
amendment, it probably would be to
the gentlemen's agreement, for the
japanese people would scarcely stand
for formal treaty by which they, al
most alone, would be set apart as I'M
desirable immigrants into America.
If Japan cannot bring about a definite
settlement of the trouble at this time,
she desires at least to reach an IN
Outstanding that will quiet the talk
of Japanese domination in California
and induce the people of that state to
reject, at the coming election. the pro-
posed new alien land law which is the
cause of most of Japan's protests.
The adoption of that law was pre-
vented last year by the administration,
but whether this could be done again
is predetermined

We have thought in America that
the japanese people were considera-
bly, wrought up over this question. but
according to Marquis Okuma, former
premier, they are not sufficiently
aroused. 1t is now announced in
Tokyo that Okuma is going to devote
himself TO awakening the japanese
people against "the unlawful attitude
of California Americans" and that
he will call meeting of 100 leading
statesmen and other prominent citi-
zens to exchange views on the subject.
The marquis says his fellow country
men are becoming weak and coward
ly, like the Chinese, are Indifferent to
grave questions affecting the nations
interests. and that a strong, unified
national opinion must defend the in
terests of the Japanese in California.
He predicts that unless something is
done TO check the Californians, there
will arise a similar state of affairs in
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
other British dominions.
That the japanese already are re-
taliating in such ways as are open to
them is indicated by correspondence
between Secretary of Commerce AL
exander and Chairman Benson of the
shipping board. Mr.. Benson called to
the attention of Mr. Alexander in
stances of japanese procedure at
Kobe amounting to discrimination
against American shipments to the
Far East. In reply Secretary Alexan-
der wrote: THE nature of the dis
elimination is in almost every case so
subtle, notwithstanding its effective
ness, that 1t is almost impossible to
take formal action. The best solution
of the matter seems TO be direct trans
portation of American goods in Amer
lean ships wherever possible"
The proposed California law, It Is
held by its proponents, would deny to
the Japanese in this country no rights
or privileges not denied to Americans
in Japan by japanese law. 1t may be
as well to give here the following sum-
mary of the chief features of the pro-
posed law. 1t says:
That aliens, ineligible to citizen
ship in the United States, companies,
corporations and associations, the ma
iority of whose stock is owned by such
~aliens, are authorized to own and con-
vey land only as provided by treaty
and not otherwise.
That such persons, companies. cor
porations and associations shall not
be appointed guardians for estates
consisting wholly or in part of realty,
but that the public administrator or
other competent person" shall act for
the minor heirs of such estates.
That ownership or leases, acquired
in violation of the law, shall become
and remain the property of the state
| of California.
That evasions of the law governing
conveyance of property shall be pun
ishable by fine, not exceeding 5000
nor more than two years In Jail or
, both.
| Governor Stephens says Of it: 1.-THE
bill does not and will not, be-
/ cause the state legally cannot, prevent
japanese control of our sell nor can it
stop further immigration. The full
solution of this question cannot be had
short of an exclusion act passed by
congress"

PRESS COMMENT

produces this thought gem from
Henry Grady.
Every day these times is a fitting
day for repeating these words OF
Henry w. Grady:
when every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures. and
disturbed by no creditors and en-
shaved by no debt shall sit among his
teeming gardens and orchards and
VINEYARDS and his dairies and barn
yards. pitching his crops in his own
wisdom and growing them in inde-
pendence, making cotton his clean
surplus, and sellig it in his own time
in his chosen market and not at
masters bidding, getting his pay in
cash and not in "a receipted mortgage
that discharges his debt but does not
restore his freedom-then shall be
breaking the fullness of our day
Henry w. Grady saw the south's
problem with unfailing clearness
and expressed it in winged words.
The South must work toward the
goal of complete dependence for
States. for every farm. Its complete
realization is. of course, Utopian. but
the nearer we come to it the better
will be our lot"
Henry w. Grady's career as n
thinker and orator was short but
brilliant. He exposed his health 70
