JAPAN COTTON TEXTILES
UNDER PROTECTION

That the tariff policy adopted by
Japan twenty years ago, after study
ing the American policy, is bearing
fruit. is evidenced by the growth Of
h Japanese cotton textile industry,
says the Republican Publicity Asso-
citation, through Its president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
According to the commercial at
tache of the Japanese Ambassador
the paid up capital invested in the
Japanese cotton industry has in
creased from $4,000 900 in 1902
to $160,0OO,00 in 1922, the reserve
total s19,5O0,O 900 in 1902 and
$257,O0O,O 1922. The number of
mills and factories increased from
1919 in 1914 to 278 in 1921; spindles,
ring, from 1.733,9OO in 1908 to A.
33S,579 in 1922, mule, from 11,15O
in 1908 to 51,79O in 1921. The
average dividends paid by the Jap
anese mills in 1903 were eight per
cent; in 1921, first half, 22.3 per
cent. The high year was 1913 with
dividends of 5O.4 per cent; low year
1908, with Sc per cent; average,
19O3-1921 inclusive. 21.46 per cent.
Since last year there has been a
material increase in the importation
oI machinery, with a corresponding
increase in production.
Until recently the mills produced
yarns for export, but the tide seems
to have changed. They are now
using these yarns for the production
of cotton cloths. The average per
centage used for home consumption
for the five years ended 1908 was
68.8 pr cent and for the two years
ended 1920, 84.4 per cent. This sug-
gests how faithfully the Japanese
adhere to the commercial policy
adopted by them in the beginning Of
the present century, following the
visit of a Japanese commission to the
United States to study the effect
of u protective tariff policy. The
views OF the Japanese government
as far back as 1902 we're given in
tabloid form in an article appearing
in the Japan Weekly Times Of June
%, 1902, which contained the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1T should be the policy of every
community and country &c finish

bly, do so. every commodity 1t ex-

must be done by the people to which
the material is exported. The abil-
ity Of a people to finish for final
use all natural materials determines
their ability to export finished pro-
ducts upon which the full amount of
work required to prepare a natural
material for final use has been done,
instead of material in a natural
state, upon which the least amount
of work has been done. This abil-
ity fixes the degree OF self-employ-
ment and determines progress to-

Marriage a Failure"
Cincinnati Ennnirer.l

Cincinnati Enquirer.)
 Cleveland jurist is said be responsible for the following hopeless deductions:
 Marriage social institution, has failed miserably.'
 Most romanccs fade the honeymoon wanes and were it not for fear of what the neghbors and fam lilies would say there would be many marriages go to the Divorce Court"
 Love of children, religious scrupes and fear of popular criticism the three factors that keep people together
 The eynics from time mmemorial similarly have advised us This may be a dyspeptic- mi n ded cynic, but he sounds more like of those unfor- tunate pessmists for whom there is no blue in the sky no fragrance in the rose no music in the laughter Of a happy child-for whom nothing exists but the crepuscular glooms of nature which has lest touch with the inspiring sweetness truth and beauty of the world
 If marriage social institution has failed miseraby, then it follows that life religion and or dered socety have failed mieeraby But this depart. ing ululation of sick spirit is true. And ii 1t were true, what does he offer the world in place of the institution he damns hopeessly?
 It will take than the statement of one in. dVldual to convince the world that the oldest ant most sacrosanct among human institutions is 6 Wretched failure Upon this institution is erected al socey all government. To it is due the development ana enlargement of all that know of morality Because ef it men and women strive and sacrifice Without it there would result universal moral and social chaos

WASHINGTON STATE TO HAVE CON-
 GRESSI0NAL ELECTION.

The appointment of Congressman j. Stanley Web of Spokane be United States District Judge 10 succeed Judge Rudkn, recently appointed to the Circuit Court of Appeals bench. will, 1t is admitted result in red hot Congressional by-eleetion The Fifth, Spokane Washington Congressional District is the closest in the State. Senator C. C. Dill repre- sened il twice in Congress before Judge Webster of the Washington State Supreme Court induced to resign from the bench and make the against him in 1918. Justice Webster had previously been Judge of the Spokane County Superior Court and was recognized probably the most popular in that section of the State He defeated Mr. Dill and has twice been reelected. Last fall however his majority cut down less than 5000. IL is ceded that the Democrats will renominate Judge Sam B. Hill of WaterVille who made such good showing against Judge Webster. Judge Hill is said to be an excellent eampagner, and Senator Dill, admittedly an excellent campaigner who has carried the district three times in four campaigns. will stump the en- tire district for Judge Hill.
 The Republicans realize that they must nominate a strong and make hard fight if they want to defeat Judge Hill. The they talk of most is Rufus Woods editor of the Wenatchee World, who was Progressive in the days when that party bloomed. Mir. Woods is live wire the head of a live newspaper
