TUESDAY
DECEM PER 7, 1909-
A LIVELY SESSION OF CONGRESS.
' The present session of Congress is going to be .1 history-maker, "m
.. ,A . ! 111 ' t t 1. fsMlrrlif rMlf- fill,!
a political sense, ine cannon issue wm u.ii; w w iuus"1 ,
whichever way the battle goes, it will greatly affect the next national
elections. President lan lias returned 10 wiiMiinyiuu uny
cd with the fact that there is widespread Republican disaffection 111 the
...... n,wit r,f tlio tnriff bill, and there is correspondingly
increased Democratic aggressiveness. Then there is an element, wittily
dubbed the "Kcttirn trom liiua L-iuu, which ib picpanny .
a Roosevelt stampede when it comes to be time again for the Repub
licans to nominate a President. There is a feeling that Taft has not
yet showed up very strong. to the satisfaction of the Roosevelt wor
shippers, but it must be admitted that he has hardly had time to feel
his way. ,
That "the Democrats will capture the next Congress if Cannon and
Aldrich remain the bosses of this one, is a prediction made by far
seeing observers. Aldrich appears to have scarcely any defenders and
the chorus of denunciation of Cannon is loud and general. And Taft
happens to have warmly commended them both, in speeches during his
tour. It is going to be a warm session.
. JAPAN'S NEW DIPLOMATIC IDEA.
Tn the sendinr of the Honorable Commercial Commission which vis
ited Honolulu yesterday, Japan is stated to have introduced a new kind
of foreign diplomacy. It is certain tnat sucn visits arc, not new, tins
one was a return of a call made to Japan by Pacific Coast business men
about a vear asro. at the invitation of Japanese commercial institutions.
But the Japanese commission left home amid high official demonstra
tions in Tokio, the members were dined by the Mikado just before they
left and Count Komura, Foreign Minister, held conferences with them,
giving advice as to what should be the main object of their visit,
making every effort to increase the friendship of America and Japan.
The Literary Digest quotes a Tokio Japanese paper as giving the fol
lowing explanation of the purpose of these actions
"Heretofore, the diplomacy of Japan has been regarded as a
monopoly of the Foreign Department, with which .the people
, had nothing whatever to do. But the enlightened statesmen of
the world have been awakening to the fact that in this age of
democracy international relations can not be fixed by the de
sires of the Governments alone, regardless of the will of the
people, and the Japanese ministers have not been slow to rec
ognize this fact. In short, they have come to admit that the
diplomacy of the present age is a diplomacy not between Gov
ernments alone, but between peoples as well. This change in
the attitude of our Government toward the people is indicated
in the manner in which our Foreign Department treats the
Commercial Commission which is to visit America."
This seems like a very great idea in diplomacy and is another proof
of Japanese thorough adoption of the modern spirit of democracy.
MAKING BUSINESS FOR FOREIGN PORTS. '
The Advertiser suggests that if American railroads discriminated
against Los Angeles, that city would turn to a Mexican line to relief.
Such a plan is just what certain American railroad men arc contem
plating with regard to ocean freight traffic, because the American policy
discriminates against American transpacific freight business The
plan is to establish a Mexican port as the terminus of an American
railroad, thus avoiding American regulations regarding freight tariffs.
One of these regulations calls for many days' published notice, ahead
of time, before through rates can be changed, say for shipments from
New York to the Orient. This greatly hampers American bidding for
business, for foreign competitors always know far ahead what an Am
erican bid is to be. By shipping from an American port in Mexico,
the transportation companies could avoid the regulation, just as trav
elers to Hawaii avoid coastwise regulations by crossing the line to
British Columbia and coming to Honolulu on a British steamer from
Victoria.
THE "WAR" AND WHAT IT MAY BRING.

don with a difficulty between Nicaragua and the United States. How
ever, war it will be, if the situation docs not quickly improve. It may
be presumed that the American government will send at the start such
a foice as to make actual resistance in the field palpably futile, thus
avoiding loss of life.
After the war will come a long series of problems, all tending in one
direction. It is probable that the war, if it is carried out to its natural
conclusion, will be chiefly important in history as a second great step,
after the acquisition of the Panama canal zone, in American expansion
southwards. To collect the indemnities America will exact under the
usual course in such affairs, the United States government will have to
control Nicaraguan revenues for some years. That means a stable
government, probably a great investment of American capital and
dominating American influences. With Costa Rica, Honduras, Salva
dor, Guatemala and Mexico for neighbors, and Mexico apparently to
end her term of peaceableness on the death of Diaz, the chances for
complications are endless. Uncle Sam has managed to pull out of
vuua twice, witn prospects ot Having to go back soon. How long
the nation will stand the job of being "international police officer for
Central America and the West Indies depends on the strcnuousness of
the job. As a solution, "benevolent assimilation'' is always in sight.
And it is something Taft believes in.

Thore were two leading features in
stock buslneus today, one being the
advance of Pioneer to $200 and
decline of nn eighth In Mcllryde.
These did not come as surprises, for
the Indications of the past few days
have pointed to them. Only olgTit
shares of Pioneer wore sold, but this,
was enough to establish the now bas-j

$200 was still risked, the bidding be-j
lng at $199.50. It 1s claimed that'
there nro soirfo 20 shares available at!
figures around the $200 mark. What'
will happen after this bunch of small,
Tots Is clenred off Is hard to tell, there
being those who feci that $200 Is not'
enough for a 24 per cent Investment. '
The ilroj' oTTin eighth In McMr j
was expected. It Is a case of small
speculators unloading, they having '
tired of waiting for larger returns.
'Hint "cold feet" will spread among
other small holders seems certain,
and the stock may be forced down ,
stilt further, until these nomadic
already provided for, Is, however, ai
that can bo reckoned upon positively
for the present.
