PRESS COMMENT
Baseball Shows How Human
JapaneSa Are

It is an old thing that profession.
al baseball players should sue.
coed where statesmen and diplo.
mats have failed.
While Babe Ruth and his all
star crew from the American and
National Leagues tour Japan and
enjoy public acclaim, a national
friendliness, which is as amazing
as it is sincere, the statesmen are
looking ahead nervously to the
coming disarmament" conference
wondering how much longer the
fabric Of world peace will be able
to stand the strain which con-
f1icting American and Japanese
naval rivalries are putting upon
it.
Now it would be perfectly silly
of course, to suppose that because
Japanese enthusiasm for our
game of baseball the difficult
problems of opposing national pol
icies are going to be swept away
international mixups are not
Strengthened out so easily.
And yet there is something
about Japan's welcome to the
American baseball team which
makes person stop and think a
little.
Ordinarily we see the Japanese
in the light of their Manchurian
adventure, with the shadow OF
great naval ambitions falling
across their shoulders. They be-
come grotesque caricatures SYM
bolizing ruthless and pugnacious
greed. Given a little bad luck, we
could easily put them in that gal
lery labeled "the enemy"
And then we read about this
tour of the American baseball
team; about $4,000 Japanese turn
ing out to see single game;
about a great popularity contest
to choose the so most beautiful
waitress in Tokia to wait or
the American athletes at the din.
ner table ;about enormous crowds
clogging the streets to see and
cheer the players-and, in famil.
lar fashion, to ask for autographs
Reading those things, we sud.
denly discover: Why, these folk
are like ourselves. They like the
same things we like; If we got to
know them, we could like them
first rate, and they could like US.
And that, in turn, is apt to make
us wonder whether there really
needs to be that mutual suspicion
and jealousy which, not to mince
words about it has showed us g
dangerous distance along the road
to war. If handful of proses
sional athletes can give us a Wis.
ion of international friendship
shouldn't there be some way Of
translating the vision into reality:

Wisdom in The Aggregate

Verify, verify, the ways of the
voter are past finding.
This is said in no spirit of criti-
cism of the outcome of any par
ticular contest, or even in criti-
cism of the aggregate result, but
in sheer puzzlement as to how and
why certain results come to pass.
One candidate conducts an &C
tive campaign, issues reams of
eral advertising space in the news
papers, and is defeated; another one
stays home and attends to his pri-
vate or public duties and is elected.
Another candidate tries the quiet
methods, and is swamped by the
speech-making, advertising, candi-
date.
One candidate takes a decided
stand on controversial public ques-
tons, and wins out over the candi-
date who shutters whenever he dis
cusses public questions. Another
candidate is "all things to all men"
and swamps a candidate who
takes a strong position manifestly
in the public interest.
One candidate is elected because
he has no record and the record of
his opponent is bad. Another can
didate with the worst kind of a
record explains it all away and
buries his opponent.
One candidate wins because he
has much newspaper support, an
other because: the newspapers are
against him: one candidate wins
because he has a host of personal
friends, another wins who has few
personal friends; one candidate
wins because he has the support
of the administration, while an
other wins because he will oppose
the administration"
It seems impossible to find a
common denomination Of success at
the polls, but the country seems
to wag along Just the same, and
we still have the best government
on earth. - Morris Tribune.

SchiIplin Senatorial Timber

George Benson, the Minneapolis
Journal correspondent in Washing
ton, states the national Democratic
leaders had hoped that Fred Schilp-
lin, of st. Cloud, would be the CUB
ernatorial nominee of their party in
Minnesota last June. Schliplin
would have made a much stronger
candidate than Regain; the Republi-
cans would have been willing to
support him. If he had been NOM
mated, he might have defeated
Floyd Olson. There is a strong
feeling throughout the state that
Olson wanted to see Regain in the
race.
Fred Schilplin is being mentioned
as the Democratic nominee for
United States Senator in 1894. He
would creditably represent Mime

CONDITIONS ON
 FUR FARMS ARE
 MUCH IMPROVED
Dr. Loftus Returns from Two-Month Inspection
 Trip to Westward

Conditions on the fur farming ranches in Southwestern and Gen. tral Alaska are considerably inn proved from year ago, said pr. J. B. Loftus, Extension Service Veterinarian, who returned home this week from two-month ln- spection of both fur farms and livestock and dairy farms. He cov- cred Kenai Peninsula, Cook Inlet, Alaska Peninsula as far west as Unalaska and Kodiak.
 Higher prices for fox pelts were reported by all of the growers who were in better spirits than for seV- eral years. Conditions among the animals were found to be good on some 50 ranches that were visited.
 In addition to visiting island ranches in the vicinity of Unalaska, Dr. Loftus went to Kodiak, Ouzin- kie. Seward, Seldovia, Kasilof, Min ilchik, Homer and Anchorage. At Kasilof Capt Heinie Berger was erecting cold storage plan to take care of fox feed for the winter months. In the same district sev- eral new families have homestead ed and were putting in their first crops.
 On Kodiak Island, Sid Olds is running a herd of 90 beef cattle which came through last winter in fine shape, feeding on natural forage. He kept cured hay on the racks for them, but they only showed up for it about once in three days and didn't seem to care much for the diet.
 Winfields, on the same Island, lost some stock this spring from attacks by brown bear. A fine, pure-bred Galloway bull was at tackled by bear and almost killed.
 At Kodiak, Homer and Seldovia, Dr. Loftus inspected dairy herds.

.LONCSHOREMEN
 KEEP DISORDER
 OUT OF STRIKE
General Apathy Surrounds Settlement of Strike In
 Seattle, Says Knight

Harold Knight, purser of the mo- torship Northland, expressed him self this morning as greatly im- pressed with the manner in which the International Longshoremen's Association is handling the shipping strike in Seattle.
 Veteran of many a shipping strike. MT. Knight said that this is the tightest and at the same time the most orderly strike that he has ever seen. No picket is al lowed by the officers of the aSso- ciation to show himself upon the docks if there is so much as an odor of liquor about him, and any disorderly conduct results in the immediate turning over of the of- fender to the police by his own colleagues.
 Apathetic Attitude
 The attitude, according to MT. Knight, of the citizenry of Seattle in general is turning apathetic to- ward the settlement of the strike, an attitude which he said seemed to be shared by both strikers and shippers.
 Nobody seems to care when, if ever, shipping is resumed" he stat ed
 He further said, however, that sentiment which was more or less with the strikers at first, recently swung somewhat in the other di- rection, due in measure to the difficulties which have been ex- perienced in Alaska, and had a great deal to do with the release of Alaska shipping.
