JAPANESE INTENTIONS.

In an article published yesterday on
this page Mr.. Bywater wildly por-
trays some OF the struggle which is
crn Asia for the trade Of those regions
for not only trade which already
nXists but also for that which will surely
develop as natural and human re-
sources are exploited. In that strug-
gle the Japanese are participating with
great eagnerness and less tact than
might be advisable.
Mr.. Bywater's testimony is based on
testimony which is worthy Of n hear-
difference between specific information
and general assumptions.
In the former category. for example.
falls the statement that the Japanese
arc planning not 20 evnCuatp the
northern half of Saghalien Island, in
which OF Aclds have been found. In
Manchuria also. II appears. japanese
police guards have boon strongly re-
inforCed. But It is the Chinese who
assume that Manchuria is to be an
nexed by the Japanese. and Il is Mr..
Bywater who assumes that Japan ia
prepared to fight for n monopoly OF
Far Eastern trade.
These assumptions may prove 70 be
valid-but. then again. they mny not
And at any rate they should not be
confused with the facts of the case
which although serious enough, are nc
more serious than those which have
characterized many u zone where com.

ments, thence to the streets. be pro-
hbited altogether. There is no oc-
casion for tolerating the practice.

There is no good reason why this

POLICY OF MISREPRESENTATION.

The policy OF silence" that has been
feature OF Republican newspapers
OF this city In respect OF Democratic

has been supplemented by n policy OF
misrepresentation.
In the Morning News of yesterday

which meant that It would take place
this evening. The meeting was held
last night, and had been duly adver~

ARE WE ROTTEN AT THE COREl

Aligned with the seers whose vision
holds little Of hope. much OF sorrow.
suffering and despair now stands.
Meredith Nicholson, novelist and es
sayist, who tells us that the world
has grown gray with materialism;
that the young people have cracked
the barriers of yesteryear. have
given sex virtue an indifferent status
In their scheme of things and have
forced every intelligent observer -of
American life to the sober conclusion
that the old concepts of marriage
the home. religion. sex standards are
gone-deiinitely and absolutely gone.
What charnel house Mr.. Nlchol-
son leaves US within which to move
and have our being, He winds about
US the cerements of moral corruption
and death, hides God behind impene-
trable clouds-a nebulous, fading
dream-andchills the light of love In
human eyes, bushes the melody of
laughter on human lips.
What is the good of such dark
souled maunderings? Mr.. Nicholson
is mistaken. The real observers OF
human life do not find what he por-
| trays. Does any intelligent observer
Of American life agree with him thai
the young people Of today. of both
sexes, are indifferent 10 rules of any
kind" or that "the young women Of
today hold virtue more cheaply thar
did their mothers and grandmoth
ers?" We think not
