Editor.
If China ever awakens as Japan has
-awakened, woe betide the rest of the
world.
Political fortune tellers are seeing
many visions these days. Many of
them will prove to be only pipe dreams.
In view of the sweeping naval vic
tory of the Japanese this seems to be
the auspicious time to propose peace
in the Orient.
If those interested in Panama canal
supplies wish to sell to the commis
sion let them lower their prices and
sell their goods.
The supreme court has decided that
the Northern Pacific Railway company
can not be compelled to pay taxes on
its land sale contracts.
Duluth would like the next State
convention. As Duluth has the rep
utation of keeping things cool, there
may be a chance for her.
There is yet some prospects of se
curing that editorial excursion to
Portland, Oregon. The matter will
probably be decided this week.
Nearly all European countries are
prevented by policy from showing
their satisfaction over the turn af
fairs in the Orient have taken, but
they must all feel it.
Togo has been styled the Dewey of
Japan and well he deserves the appel
lation. As Dewey annihilated the
Spanish fleet in Luzon, so has Togo
annihilated the Russian fleet in the
Korean straits.
There is a cog loose somewhere
when it is possible for rioters and
mobs to rule by force, to tie up all
branches of industry and work de
struction on private property, as they
are doing in Chicago.
Although we read each day that
there is a prospect of settlement of
the Chicago strikes, matters are grow
ing worse daily and it may be neces
sary to repeat the Cleveland act and
send national troops to quell the riots.
The loss in wages which the Chicago
strikers are sustaining as the result
of idleness will never be recompensed
by any increase they receive from the
employers. In cases of this kind the
benefits derived from labor unions
seem to be a minus quantity.
Thomas W. Lawson, author of
Frenzied Finance,'' is quite anxious
that his work should be read by the
public. If Mr. Lawson will devote
his time to some plan by which public
affairs can be run without scandals
the public will consider him more of
a benefactor.
Eveleth Star: From Princeton
comes the announcement that Van
Sant has cut off his moustache. Fie!
Van without the moustache would be
like Sampson without the hair. The
barber that did the 30b should go
down in history as the male Delilah
of the twentieth century.
Helen and Frank Gould lost fijteen
hundred thousand dollars through
the failure of the Merchants Trust
company of New York. Helen Gould
is a woman who makes good use of
her riches, and no one will rejoice at
her loss. Had it been Rockefeller
the case would have been different.
Why are some of those Republican
newspapers that* helped to elect Gov
ernor Johnson last fall now so solici
tious about finding a man to beat him
in the next campaign?Hubbard
County Clipper.. I
Well, sometimes the better a man is
known the* less he is liked, and this
seems to be the case with Johnson.
It begins to look as though Ameri
can boats were invincible* Not only
yachts in races over given courses
prove themselves the superiors of all
competitors, but now the American
schooner Atlantic has won the cup
offered by the German emperor to the
yacht which should make the best time
in crossing the Atlantic.
tJrfAA^M^iL
Milaca Times: Why people will
rush off to the wilds of Canada, five
or six hundred miles from anywhere,
to buy lands when better land at the
same figure can be bought within sev
enty-five miles of the great commercial
is
the old saying that "distance lends
enchantment to the view."
The suggestion lately made by
James J. Hill, that loss of life and
property due to railroad accidents
would in a great measure be avoided
by the adoption of some system of
licenses for engineers, firemen and
members of train crews, should re
ceive more than a passing notice.
Something should be done to prevent
the great loss of life now constantly
taking place on the railroads.
The reckless disregard of life and
limb displayed by some drivers of
automobiles is creating wide-spread
comment. Unless there is a volun
tary change in the management of
automobiles in the large cities legis
lation will soon step in and place se
vere restrictions on them. The people
will not long submit to being chased
from pillar to post, capsized and
smashed up in general by these devil
wagons.
In his Memorial Day speech Presi
dent Roosevelt said: "You can do
nothing without proper training, but
the training will not count for much
if you haven't got the right stuff in
you. A man who has served in the
navy or army, if he is worth his salt,
has learned certain qualities which
double and treble his value in any
position in %which he may be placed.
No amount of good intention, no
amount of sweetness in life, no amount
of appreciation of decency avails in
the least in the rough work of the
world as we find it, unless back of the
honesty of purpose, back of the de
cency of life and thought, lies the
power that makes a man a man. The
surest way for a nation to invite dis
aster is to be opulent, aggressive and
unarmed. A sound body is a first
class thing, a sound mind is an even
better thing: but the thing that counts
for most in the individual as in the
nation is characterthe sum of these
qualities which make a man a good
man and a woman a good woman."
Minneapolis Tribune: "Admiral
Togo has struck a mighty blow for
the peace of the world. He has up
lifted the civilization of the future.
He has opened a broad road for the
progress of the east. He has done
more than all the Tolstoys, Wittes
and Gopons, Nihilists, statesmen and
economists of Russia for the final
redemption through pain and blood
of the unhappy Slavic people. He has
given the signal for healthy revolu
tion in Russia, and for healthy de
velopment of China. He has given
the death blow to the most menacing
despotism of modern times. He has
lifted the cloud of military aggression
that hung o\er two continents. He
has opened the greatest and oldest of
continents to the trade of all the na
tions on equal terms. Thus dods war
perform its eternal mission as the
hand maiden of civilization and the
pioneer of progress. But the best of
all is, it will put an end to naval war
fare for a long time. The east has
been the point of greatest peril to the
world's peace. A new world power
has risen to guard the east against
the military aggression of Europe. It
will be a long time before any nation
dares the fate of Russia." Russia her
self must recognize that the game is
in Manchuria. Baron Rosen is on
his way to Washington. Unless the
Russian despotism is mad with the
madness of the gods, he will hear pro
posals of peace. The terms will "be
hard. Russia has brought this upon
herself. Japan

will get all Russia's rights in Man
