SAYS JAPAN NOT
IN WITH SOVIET
Counsellor Declares Japan
Is Not Conspiring With
Soviet Russia.
TALKS FROM INSIDE"
By HARRY B. HUNT.
NFA Service Writer

Washington, d. C.--Japan's recent
treaty with Russia doesn't mean that
Nippon is conspiring with the Soviet
government to dominate the Pacific.
1t only means that Japan wants to eat.
At least that's the explanation
given by Frederick Moore, counsellor
to the Japanese foreign Office, now in
Washington.
Japanese eat about one pound Of
meat per person per year." says Moore.
"But they eat one pound of fish per
person per day.
"The big sources of Japan's fish
supply are the waters off Sakhalin
Island the Behring Sea. These are
Russian waters. An understanding
between Japan and Russia, covering
the scope to be allowed Japanese fish
ermen in these areas, in order to
guarantee fish supply for Japan, was
the compelling motive behind the ia
panese end Of the agreement.
Friendly relations between japan
and Russia also means a closer rela-
tionship between Japan and Europe.
BY sea, the trip from Japan to France
and England, for instance, is about six
weeks. BY the Siberian railway, this
is cut to about two weeks.
"But as foreshadowing a Japanese
Russian alliance designed to dominate
the Pacific--Japan herself would be
the last to wish the development of
Russia as a maritime power. Anyone
can see why"

This man Moore, incidentally, is a
unique figure in official and diplomatic
circles.
An American by birth, citizenship
and allegiance, he is at the same time
an official of the Japanese government
in short of uper-diplomatic job.
His title is counsellor to the Japa-
nese foreign Office" His duties, as
his title indicates, are advisory. He
is expected to keep the japanese view
point straight on things American
with the idea always uppermost OF
promoting amicable relations between
Japan and the United States"
Moore graduated into his job after
score of years as newspaper cor
respondent, stationed in the Far East.
His many years in China and Japan
for the Associated Press gave him an
understanding Of the oriental slant on
affairs by long and intimate associa-
ton. His knack as a newspaper man
enabled him to see both sides of the
problems that arose to bother Japan,
for instance, and he acquired the
habit of volunteering suggestions

Has Good Job.
1t was Baron Shidehara, former
Japanese ambassador to Washington,
now head of Japan's foreign Office,
who signed Moore up for his job Of
undiplomatic diplomat. The fifth
yearly contract has just been signed.
Which would seem to indicate that
Moore has been giving satisfaction as
we'll as advice. A9
Moore alternates between japan and
the United States, first year here,
then year there, in order to keep
his contracts in both countries fresh
TIE United States is still "home" to
him, however, and he's educating his
children in the u. S. A.

HUSBAND POSED

Charging that her husband acts as
if he thought he lived in an earlier
and looser century and that he poses
as veritable Don Juan, Boecacio and
Casanova combined, without the liter
airy flare of such, Marie Gudell MUIR
ply has commenced an action in the
municipal court against John James
Murphy, complainant, in which action
has been filed by the plaintiffs at
torneys.
"He would tell endless tales of his
feats of dalliance with other women
complains the disenchanted wife.
The couple were married at Wauke-
gan, January II, 1912; they have no
children.
Violated Liquor Law.
Murphy also, says his wife, was q
constant violator Of the state and fed
eral prohibition laws, and obtained
huge quantities of illicit liquor, be-
coming maudlin with drink night after
night. He would come home again
and again in a sodden stupor, and
"very seldom went to bed before dawn
had thrown its first red streaks across
the horizon"
"The defendant prides himself on
being night hawk and a boulevard
DEAR" says the wife.
Jack Dempsey Also.
In addition to all these interesting
qualities Mrs. Murphy says that John
tried to emulate Jack Dempsey.
"He would beat, bruise and strike
your plaintiff" alleges the complaint
with such force and effect that your
plaintiff has lost all Consciousness for
hours at a time. Once he struck heI
squarely between the eyes, causing her
to suffer acutely. Once he hurled a
bottle at her causing the blood to
stream across her face"

Replots Traffic Lines at
COngested Area to
Cut Accidents.
AT MARKET AND MAIN
Sheridan Road and Elizabeth
Street Cars to Stop Opposite
Bell Clothing House.

Traffic at the corner of Market and
Main streets. beginning today or to-
morrow, will be routed little diff
ferently at the direction of Chief OF
Police Logan and with the coopera-
tion of the street railway. company
There is only one proposed change
but this, it is believed, will operate to
lesson the congestion at the end OF
Market square, and tend to eliminate
accidents.
The new rule will go into effect to-
day or tomorrow, and street car pas
sengers will be duly notified by their
conductors Of the change.
A New Street Car Stop.
Hitherto the stop for the cars from
the south, that is the Northbound
Sheridan road and Elizabeth street
cars, has been at the north end of the
square, and there they have come ia
their dead-end stop, discharging pas
sengers and waiting to take on the
passengers who are to travel back with
them south on Main street and thence
to their various destinations.
In the future the Sheridan road and
Elizabeth street cars will come to their
dead-stop at the corner just opposite
the Bell Clothing house at the south
end of Market square.
Can Reach Cars Better.
When these street cars stopped at
the northern end of the square, pas
sengers leaving the street car and
seeking the Grand avenue car had to
make q circuitous trip across an open
space where there were three lines OF
travel from automobiles, cars coming
from three or counting also the open
space at the east at the side of the
street car four The danger at this
point was obvious, especially with a
mother trying to shepherd small chill
dren with her across this area.
1t also made matters hard for the
traffic officer at this point, who need
ed to have really a pair of eyes at the
back of his head and at either side
in order to protect pedestrians bound
for one car or another.
Just This One Change.
It must be born in mind that this
change with respect to the stopping OF
the Sheridan road and Elizabeth street
cars is the only one contemplated. The
Milwaukee avenue street cars will
stop as usual to the north end Of
Market square at the First National
Bank corner Passengers from the
Sheridan road and Elizabeth street
cars will find it a simple matter to
transfer to the north side. walking
north and then cutting a square cor
ner to get their Milwaukee car. Pas
sengers from the southwest side who
want the Grand avenue and Market
street cars will also find it easier,
crossing directly west at the place
where pedestrian traffic is expected,
and then across again to where the
Grand avenue and Market street cars
come to their dead-stop opposite the
Public Service building.

The Pursuit of Prosperity
iSt. Paul DiSpatchj


Charles N. Schwab, in an address to the confer
cnce education and industry held at Chicago uni
yerslty Thursday, elmpscd an era of great pros
pcrity for the United States, which he is certain
we are now entering Pointing to steel the
barometer Of our rising fortunes, he called atten
ton to the 1,0oo,ooo tons of steel made in 1875
against the G0,ooo,ooO made in 1928, and predicted
the annual production of steel for the country
would reach l0o.OoOoOO very soon. 1t is a rosy
picture and unless unforeseen calamity
intervcnes, is likely to be realized We have made
such giant strides compared with the steps to-
ward prosperity OF other nations that his prediction
has the air of sober reality and is acceptable less
as prophecy and more matter of fact.
The Declaration OF Independence cautiously as
serts our right to the pursuit of happness-not
its attainment. If prosperity. linked as usually
is with happiness, shOuldd be identical with it in
the minds of the people OF this country, then the
pursuit of prosperity has meaning far above the
m2terialistic sense of the word. Perhaps were the
happiness we pursue granted to us it would be like
the bubble that the child clutches, and vanish in
hands. SO if were to gain the prosperity
we picture ideal, We might find it as empty
as the bubble. or even dangerous. For the outcome
of great prosperity is always great iaxty-the
inevitable following is always effemnacy. hedon-
ism and a proud idleness. We have seen the re-
suits of the little burst of prosperity due to war
hation. and they do not charm Perhaps what
keeps this nation wholesome-and what keeps
European nations from total DECAYS the struggle
after that ideal-proSperity. 1t is the effort the
ambition. the desire 10 gain it that keeps people
healthy, sound and vigorous. Adversely, judicousy
mixed with prosperity, like the stern winters of a
northern cline alternating with kindly summers

us pursue prosperity remembering that the gain is

Your Duty

A good-sizcd city in the middle west is about to
hold rather important city election. So heated are
the issues 50 sharp is the dividing line between
the opposing factions that every effort has been
made to register large percentage of the quail
fled voters possible. Both party organizations
have worked to get out the vote; have civic or
CARNATIONS.
Result \ registration of about sixty per cent
Of the qualified voters; unusually large registra-
ton that plcases all sides.
And right there is the reason why popular gov
eminent in this country is what it is.
Why do We have cheap politicians ncOmpetents,
demagogues, tricksters in public office? Because
such get away with it when half Of the
population won't take the trouble to vote.
If you don't keep informed about candidates
and issues and don't bother to vote them when
you informed, you have absolutely no right to
complain the state of politics in your city, state
and nation.
The remedy rests with the voters. Any time
they want to get the right kind of men into office
they have the means ready to their hands.
But it's too much trouble. SO go on electing
the least fit to high offces-a and then wonder
why misgoverned.

More Police

1t is a strange thing that, thus far, our Amer
lean cities have not aroused themselves more over
their traffic evils.
Any other feature of American life that took
such a tremendous toll of lives automobile
traffic would call forth storm of public protest
until something done But let traffic
conditions slide along from bad to worse and make
only halfhearted attempts at remedies
First of all, need more traffic police. If
there is city in the country that has enough police
traffic duty, this writer does not know where it
is. The traffic force of every city could probably
be doubled without being too large.
Until motorists have learned to be more careful
and considerable of each others and pedestrians
rights, it is imperative that there be adequate
traffic squad. 1t is the only way to keep down the
everriSing toll of accidents.
Or course, it will cost more: and politicians whose
notion of economy in government is parsmony will
object loudly. But it is step must take, and the
sooner realize it the better off we will be.
