PRESS COMMENT
Japan's Reparation--

Japan's Reparation-
| The Hngoes in the United States
will raise a great howl because Of
what they will term the inadequacy
OF the punishment OF the Japanese SOL
der who killed an American officer
an American killed and nobody exc
cuted for it? The Japanese jingoes
will raise their howl because any pun
ishment was inflicted at all. Wasn't
the American acting in a very suspi-
cious manner ard did he not fail to
| obey when ordered to halt?
But Japan has done much more than
punish a private soldier with death, at
| least in the average army the punish
ment distributed would be considered
worse than the execution of a mere
private soldier. A brigadier general
has been dismissed from the army. A
major, a captain and a lieutenant as
well as the sentinel himself are to be
imprisoned. Japan is to be admired
for not making a scapegoat of the
private soldier. We are not sure that
another nation would have done as
well.
Japan promptly expressed regret
and has expressed it again. In the
minds of right thinking Americans the
incident VIII be treated as closed, but
there are a great many wrong think
ing Americans.
The United States and Japan occupy
different parts of the earth's surface.
Their interests do not lie in the same
localities. Japan has as much right
to demand that other nations keep out
of eastern Asia as we have to demand
that they keep out of America. We
have an outgrown declaration known
as the Monroe doctrine that is now of
no use to anybody and is an offense
to the peoples in whose interest, or
mainly in whose interest, 1t purported
to have been written. If Japan wants
to declare a Monroe doctrine we are
not in position to object, for if we are
just we will not deny to the others
the privilege of doing what we are do
ing ourselves.
There is not the slightest danger
that this country will ever be attacked
by Japan. If she had the will to at
tack she would not have the way. OF
course just now she might attack the
Philippines, but if we live up to our
Declaration of Independence we will
not much longer remain in the Philip
pineS.-TimeS- Union.

Miami's Good Friends

Miami's Good Friends
Miami has been the most fortunate
| Of towns in the matter of friends.
| Someone is always saying something
good about this town. And they not
only say it by word of mouth but they
put it in the papers,, The big news
papers publish beautiful pictures of
Miami beach, of the Royal Palm park,
with Bryan addressing his Sunday
School class, five thousand strong, and
| scores of other interesting views. The
| magazines carry stories and photo
graphs about the yachting and the
| fishing and other outdoor sports of
| our Wintertime. And this is all be-
cause, Miami has friends who some
how get the news of Miami's attrac-
tions before the people.
| Nor is it only in northern newspa-
pers and magazines that Miami's
praises are sung by her admirers. The
Metropolis has at hand clipping from

crease in population is shown from 20
in 1895 to 1851 in 1900; SAL in 1910
to 29.549 in 1920, as reported by the
government"
Concluding the advertisement, which
is filled with praise of how Miami has
built its reputation, is this collection
of statistics which may be of interest
to visitors in Miami today. It says:
Miami has 59.4 miles of sidewalks:
50.2 miles of paved streets; 55.9 miles
of sanitary sewers and SO miles of
storm sewers, with a total valuation of
| $3,424, 900.
"A statement of city finances shows
that the city tax rate is 13 mills; the
assessed valuation of the city was ST.
| 1862 in 1910, and it is $39,099.294
now. The bonded Indebtedness was
100000 in 1910 and is $2,500,000 now.
The bank deposits in 1910 We're $780,

city by the world famous causeway

addition TO this is the Flamingo hotel
erected at a cost of $1,000, 900. and the

I-Miami's friends; they are continual
ly doing the fine things for this fav-
ored town, and Miami appreciates it
most sincerely. The knight & Wall adj

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM {. BARTON
FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE

In 1645, the great and general court
of Massa chusetts assembled daily in
the Old First church in Boston, and
devoted it's time from May IA to July
8 to what was practically a trial for
impeachment of the foremost citizen
OF the colony,
John Winthrop had been almost
continuously for Is years their gov
ernor and was just then serving as
lieutenant governor. A pretty little
squabble had risen as to the status of
the militia company at bingham, and
Winthrop had made a decision which
perhaps was wrong, an error in judg-'
ment, and the people rose in wrath
against the most iI1ustrious man in
New England, one whose patriotism,
devotion and incorruptibility no man
doubted.
For more than six weeks Winthrop
sat and heard harsh things said about
himself he, the man of wealth and
high position, who had been in the
act of sharing his last handful of meal
with a poor neighbor the day of BOs-
toms famine. when the ship came in
with supplies. All this the people for
got when the petty little question
about the bingham militia arose, and
they demanded his removal from Of
flee.
The trial ended, and Winthrop was
acquitted. The vote in his favor was
not unanimous but it was decisive.
He rose from his seat in the body Of
the bare old church, and took again
the place which he had vacated seven
weeks before among the officials. He
was indicated, but hurt. IF the
father of Miriam should spit in her
days?" He stood and addressed the
great and general court:
I entreat you to remember that
when you choose magistrates, you
take them from among yourselves,
men subject TO like passions as you
are. Therefore, when yoE see in
fir1nities in us you shot Id reflect
upon your own, and that would
make you bear the more with US,
and not be severe Censurers of the
failings of your magistrates. when
you have the continual experience
of the like infirmities, in your
selves and others.

States have seated a man IL the presi-

Gross Nesliqence-

Little children going to the North
side school must still walk in the
street. Those sidewalks on Northeast
Second avenue (Avenue B-Biscayne
Drive) are still unbuilt, although this
street is almost constantly thronged
with automobiles.
More than two years ago, the city
authorities promised to have these
sidewalks built. 1t was clear to them
then that the absence of the sidewalks
imperiled the. lives of the people, es-
pecially the lives of the little children
that must traverse that street on the
way to the Northside school. This dan
ger has increased with the increase in
traffic. but the sidewalks remain un-
built.
That negligence in a matter Of this
kind might continue a few weeks in a
city where it Is so easy for city Off
Gals to pass the buck, is compre-
hensible. If after the promise was
made that the sidewalks should be
built IMMEDIATELY several weeks
had elapsed, nobody would have
thought of complaining. But it has
been MORE THAN TWO YEARS
since the danger of those streets in the
neighborhood of the Northside school
was pointed out to the city authori-
ties. And nothing has been done to
eliminate this danger.
Perhaps the city authorities are
waiting for a tragedy. One or two
children have been injured; but as yet
it seems there has been nothing horri-
BILE enough to arouse the city to ac-
ton. Must some little child be hide
ously mangle6 by a rushing automo-
bile as 1t endeavors to make its way
to school in the crowded street?
There are a number OF places on
Northeast Second avenu e-better
known as North avenue and Biscayne
drive-where sidewalks are lacking.
There are several other streets in the
section Of the city served by the
Northside school where the city has
failed to require the construction Of
sidewalks. Just what is back of this
negligence? For what is the city wait
ing?--Miami Metropolis.

A mans job is his best friend. II
clothes and feeds his wife and
children, pays the rent and sup
plies them with the wherewithal
to develop and become cultivated.
The least a man can do in return
Is to love his job. a mans job is
grateful. 1t is like little garden
that thriVes on love. 1t will one
day flower into fruit worth while,
for him and his to enjoy. If you
ask any successful man the reason
for his making good he will tell
you that first and foremost it is
because he likes his work; indeed,
he loves il. His whole heart and
soul are wrapped up in it. His
whole physical and mental ener-
gies are forced on il. He walks
his work, talks his work; he is en-
tirely inseparable from his work.
and that is the way every man
worth his salt ought to be If he
wants to make of his work what
II should be, and make of himself
what he wants to be.

Fight Now Waged Over Bill Which
VIII Revise Taxes on Incomes
and Many Other Things.
(sy Lie AssoeIated Pressl

ASHINGTON, Sept. 2s,-The wav
was cleared today In the senate for
the fight over the republican tax re-
vision BILL Reading Of the measure
for approval OF the uncontested COM
mittee amendments to the house bill
was completed and consideration of
the contested features will begin to-
morrow.
These included the sections dealing
with income taxes, individual and COR
poration, profits taxes, transportation
levies, excise and soft drink levtes and
all other levies changed by the COM
nittee as well as with estate taxes
and levies on admissions and dues
which were not altered by the COM
nittee.
The attack on the transportation
was opened today by Senator McNary
of Oregon, a republican member of
the agricultural block" who offered
IN amendment to strike out the levies
on freight, passenger, Pullman and
express. Senator King, democrat of
Utah, said he would propose an
amendment to eliminate also the tax
on telegraph and telephone, which was
unchanged by the committee.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
and other democratic members Of the
finance committee, completed during
the day a series of amendments which
they plan to offer and which, If adopt
ed, would virtually rewrite the bill.
It is understood that their principal
feature is the raising of rates on cor
porations and the wealthy to maxi
NUNS higher than those proposed by
the finance committee.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, a repub-
lican committee member, gave notice
that he hoped to have his manufac-
turer's sales tax plan ready to offer
tomorrow and that he probably would
speak on it next Monday. He said
offer an entirely new bill or propose
amendments to the existing bill.
During the reading of the bill today,
the senate agreed to the existing to-
bacco taxes and most Of the special
and stamp taxes imposed by the
present law and unaltered by the COM
mittee and also to number Of adj
provisions. These pro-
visions included those designed to
speed up final settlement OF tax claims,
establishing tax sirnplifcation board
and to prevent unnecessary expecta-
lions of Investigations of taxpayers

Other sections agreed upon without
contest included one authorizing the
of the treasury to issue an
additional s50O,0O0.00O in short term
notes to facilitate the funding of Vic
tory notes and certificates Of indebted
ness.

FLUCTUATIONS in
ORLEANS COTTON
Yesterdays Session Was One Of Quick
and Moderately Narrow
Price Changes.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. est was
a session OF quick and moderately
narrow price changes in cotton to-
day, with fluctuations both above and
below the level OF yesterdays close.
Last prices were at net losses of IL to
2e points. at the best OF the day the
lRctive months were IL to 20 points
higher than the close OF yesterday and
at the lowest they were is to 26 points
under. December traded as high as
2l.15, as low as 2O7O, and closed at
20.75 cents a pound.
In the early session prices were on
the up trend because Of good cables
and reports OF large spot sales at in
terror points late yesterday but as the
market did better realizing came from
the long side and much hedging was
done which sent the market down to
net declines
ny the middle OF the day the mar
ket was at its lowest levels under re-
ports Of freer offerings of spots in the
western belt. although no pressure to
sell was reported from any quarter.
In the early afternoon the market
was its highest on signs that spinners
were calling cotton in this market and
claims from the interior that picking
and ginning were rapidly nearing
completion Ia many sections. A little
later offerings increased and the mar
ket fell off again. October was not
very active and acted fairly well liqui-
dated.
