Toll.
'Tis time 10 get the rake and hoe
And plant the posles. row by row,
To bend your back above the spade,
For thus the marigolds are made.
The unattended ground will stay
A dreary waste of yellow clay,
No rose will blossom in the sun
Unless the heavy work is done.
God smiles upon tho garden fair
And paints T. with his colors rare,
But not one bloom shall grace the soil
Which does not get devotion's toll.
The wish for love,incss is not
Enough TO build garden spot,
The pansies and the phloN are made
by constant service with the spade.
In June the roses bloom and nod
For him who bravcly breaks the clod,
But he who will not dig today
Shall have no marigolds In May.

Suggests State Movement.

Editor World: why not start n movement
amongst the commercial organizations in the
states to make up n fund sufficient TO pay
INC governor OF the state n decent salary, say
$4,000 or $4,000 per year until such time as
the legislature of the state could make pro-
vision for an increase. This movement need
not be personal to JOAN Fields alone but tho
money TO be paid to any candidate who was
successful. Could the commercial organi.a-
tions OF the state make better investment
IL IL time that a movement was inaugurat cd
that would eventually lead to change in the
laws or the state fixing the salaries of Its Of
Ulcers, SO that a man of high intelligence and
scrupuously honest might be induced to serve
the people in an official capacity.
Personally, you know, ! am for John Fields
and believe that he can, not only be elected
again. but actually and lawfully be declared
the governor or the state result of the
election this year.

1ssas Far Eastern Fisheries Become Critical Problem

principles of Russian sovereignty and
of international equality of economic
opportunity on the territory of ST.
IBERIA. The second statement was a
declaration of the position held by the
government of the United States on
the subject of the Japanese occupation
of portions of Siberia. There was
nothing more specific or definite
1t was quite natural, therefore, that
those who expected from the confer
ence some sort of action on the ST.
berian question were sorely disap-
pointed. 1t was no less natural, too,
that the handling of this question in
Washington came in atsthe time of the
conference, apd still comes in at the
present time, for an abundant share
of adverse criticism. In fact, it has
assumed, in the general opinion of
those interested in Far Eastern affairs,
the aspect of the greatest failure of
the Washington conference.
And yet it is scarcely fair to lay
too much blame upon the statesmen
who sat around the conference table
in ngton-except, perhaps, for
promising, in the agenda, as full a
discussion of the Siberian question as
of the Chinese. Such promise was,
quite obviously, unfulfllable The ST.
berian question, as we'll as the Chinese,
rests primarily not upon an enuncia-
tion of principles of international ac-
tion, but upon the actual application
of these principles. And such an ap-
plication is Of necessity matter for
adjustment between the two countries s
concerned--in this case between Japan
and Russia. Since Russia was not,
and could not be, represented in Wash
ington, such an adjustment was i'm
possible. 1t must remain impossible
until there is recognized government
in Russia, authoritatively competent
to deal with the situation.
The one thing which the Washing
ton conference did accomplish with
regard to the Russian Far Eastern
situation was to put Japan on record
as to her intentions, and in this way
tc provide a basis upon which restored

utilize it-may find it easier to con-
duct her eventual negotiations with

lens involved.
This adjustment will be most diff
ficuit at best. And possibly the most
striking illustration of the difficulties
which loom up in the future, as we'll

gard, may be found in the problem

Admiral Kato and Friend
Fail to Call a Halt

Admiral Kato and his friends of the
Satsuma clique did not stop there; they
had not the slightest idea of stopping
with the reduction of the navy. And
no one saw and realized this aspect of
things more keenly, easily and quickly
than the army chieftains of Japan
the gentlemen of the Choshu clique.
Knowing these things full we'll, are the
war lords of the army going to fight
about it? Have they made preparations
to do SO? Are they making them now?
They are not. For the simple and all
sufficient reason that it is useless. The
newspapers of Toxic are telling every
body in no modest headlines that there
is an understanding between the new
Premier and his Minister of War, Gen
eral Yamanashi, a stellar member of
the mailed-fist oligarchy over this
question of the reduction of the land
forces of Japan.
Where does the power of Kato come
from-the power which tames even the
insolent and arrogant lions of the
army?
Admiral Kato did not jump at the
Premiership when Marquis Matsukata.

of Japans relations to the Russian
Far Eastern fisheries.
Center of Stage Held
BY Japanese Military
1t is rather unfortunate that the
center Of the stage in the consideration
of Far Eastern problems, SO far as it
concerns Russia, is still held by the
fact of Japan's military occupation of
portions of two Russian provinces on
the Pacific Coast. To be sure, this
fact is important enough, but the
really significant element in the stu
alton is that of Japan's economic pene-
tration into Siberia, and none of the
aspects Of this element is more serious
than that of the fisheries. This is
especially so since Japan has taken
important new steps since the confer
erce with regard to her relations to-
ward the Russian Far Eastern fisheries,
and even more so because this par
of her. intentions and promises as
enunciated at the Washington con-
ference
1t will remain for a future Russo
Japanese parley or, possibly, another
international conference, to decide
whether or not Japan has really been
guilty Of utilizing the fact of her SUI
perior strength and Russia's tenn
porary weakness in order to take an
unfair advantage of the situation thus
created. She is, accused to-day in
many quarters of doing precisely this.
It seems fairer thing to do, how
ever, to leave conclusions to such
future as can pass judgment upon
them and act on the basis of this judg-
ment. What one can do at the present
time is to set down the story Of the
actual events and the salient features
of the authoritative presentations of
the case by both sides, as found in the
official documents which happen to be
available. That, in itself, seems emf
nently worth while.
Japan as a nation depends for her
vital sustenance upon a nsh-rice diet,
in counter-d distinction to meat-grain
diet, which constitutes the basis of the
food supplies of Western nations.
Fish, therefore, is an article of vital
national neces jty to Japan. And
though, as an ESSENTIALLY maritime na-
tion, Japan has at her disposal i'm
portant and extensive fisheries in her
own territorial waters, these fishing
areas prove to be insufficient for her
needs. The growth of her population
and the gradual depletion of her own
fisheries because of incautious ex-
ploitation have been largely respon-
sib.e for this state of affairs and have
made it imperative for Japan to seek
new sources of fish and TO turn to the

of the Japanese empire. And fer the
following reasons:
In 1858 the Tokugawa Shoeunate fol,

tuai power Satsuma and Choshu
were the two mighty clans which
brought this about In the course of
time the Japanese armv was hcld in
the hands of the Choshu men. headed
ey the famous Elder Statesman, the lat.
Prince famagata; the navy was in the
nands of the men of the Satsuma clan
largely Outsiders have crept into
both branches CT service, but they who
joined the navy joined the Satsuma
forces and they who entered the army
gave their support to the Choshu camp.
AS Nippon waxed in strength and
stature, the rival camps became more
and more jealous of each other in their
struggle for supremacy-not only mill
tary but also political. The singular
institution of the Elder Statesman in
Japan helped good deal in the growth
OF the influence of military and naval
men in the politics of the country. 1t
came to pass at cne time that actually
the Chinese and Siberian policies of
the Empire were aften blue penciled
by the fighting men of the empire. 1t
was widely rumored and gossiped at
the time that Marquis Okuma and his
Foreign Minister, Viscount Kato. knew
nothing of Part V of the so-called
Twenty-one Demands presented to
China until after the Peking corre-
spondent of The Associated Press had
wired it all over the world. And the
rumor had all the earmarks Of truth
TO those who knew to what an appal-
ling extent the war lords of Japan,
drunk with the mad dream of power,
carried their folly.
Throughout those mad glory days of
militant Japan the army and navy kept
pace in growth. The one rarely per-
mitted the other to get anything sub
stantial Casually in the shape of ap-
propriations) without getting an equal
advantage in kind.
Now, Admiral Kato is not Satsuma
man, as is his chief at the Battle of
the Sea of Japan, Admiral Togo; but
all his interests, his heart, his associ-
ations are with the Satsuma camp.
When the world tide of public opin-
ion forced upon the representatives of
the powers at the Washington confer
ence a. drastic reduction of the naval
programs of each of the five great sea
powers of earth Japan like the rest of
them, saw the wisdom of submitting to
the heroic reduction program of the
American Secretary of State. The
Japanese legation-Admira Kato no
less than the rest-saw something
more than mere burial of the expan-
sionist aspirations of Japanese mill
tarists. They saw in the fruits of the
Washington conference the only way
out Of economic and financial ruin for
Japan. The Washington conference
stopped with the curtailment of the
