WHO OWNS PORT ARTHUR 7
Tub-do Blade.
The Japanese have captured the
southern end of the Laio Tung penin
sula, with Port Arthur and Dalny. To
whom does it now belong? It must
be remembered that Russia never
claimed ownership. Ten years ago, in
the war with China, Japan captured
Port Arthur from that power. When
a treaty of peace was arranged, China
ceded Port Arthur and the southern
part of the peniusula to Japan.
This did not suit the wily diplomats
of St. Petersburg, and they managed
to secure the aid of Germany and
France in an objection to this cession,
on the ground that it would be inimi
cal to the interests of the three coun
tries to permit Japan to establish her
self at Port Arthur. So the Mikado
was perforce compelled to relinquish
the stronghold, and give the Lalo Tung
poninsula hack to China.
The next move of Russia was to
lease Port Arthur for twenty-five years
from China. Then she proceeded to
make it the " Gibraltar of the East,"
spending hundreds of millions of dol
lars in elaborate works of defense.
Then she built Dalny as a commer
cial port, extended her railway to both,
and prepared to hold the peninsula by
the strong hand.
Of course, no one with a knowledge
of Russian methods and of the situa
tion in the East expected Russia to
relinquish Port Arthur. Probably at
the expiration of the twenty-five years,
a new lease would have been made, if
Russia were not then prepared to force
China to grant the sovereignty of the
peninsula outright.
Now that Japan has conquered Port
Arthur from Russia, to whom does it
belong? As an abstract legal question,
it is certainly Chinese property. But
it is very doubtful that Japan will ever
be willing to yield possession a second
time. War and its results rise su
preme over abstract property rights,
and Japan will probably argue that
Port Arthur was captured by her from
China, formally ceded, but that Russia
robbed her of it, and she is but resum
ing her own. This will be one of the
difficult questions when peace nego
tiations come—unless Russia conquers
Japan, and wipes her off the map of
continental Asia.
Woman Assails Attitude of the President.
"President Roosevelt likes to order
the people about, and particularly to
tell women what they ought to do.
He's like Emperor William, wanting
to run everything," was a woman's
comment to the Equal Suffrage League
at Hotel Astor lately. Mre. Harriet
Stanton Blatcb, who stood sponsor for
this accusation, is particularly dis
turbed by the President's suggestion in
bis message that married women
should not work outside their homes.
" What are married women to do?"
she asked. " Women with little child
ren to support, women who have
worthless, shiftless husbands, or drunk
en, beastly ones?
" Every hour seven children are
born, 60,000 a year, and of these 20,000
women are without medical attend
ance or care. Has President Roosevelt
no sense of honor that in face of these
facts be should demand that women
bring more children into the world?"

THE PIONEER'S PATH IS RUGGED
New Ideas Sometimes Cause Pain—The Power
of Truth—The Obstinancy of Error The
Fear of Ridicule—How the Promulgation of
Truth has Caused Persecution in the World's
History.
ItY ItYROS MII.I.BTT.
A philosopher, who traveled in a
southern climo where inaect life ia un
usually abundant, removed a large
boulder from a moist spot at midday
which was suddenly subjected to the
sun's bright rays; numerous insects of
various forms and sizes were very
much in evidence on that damp spot at
that particular time. They were much
bewilduied, moved in every direction,
some bumped against one another,
others got between and climbed over
their companions in misery. All of
those insects, evidently, were trying
to seek a more congenial habitation
and environment, preferred darkness
rather than light; acted very similar
to a large class of individuals, who of
a sudden becomo impressed with a
new idea, which causes discomfiture
in their thinking process, often be
come angry at the individuals who im
ported disagreeable truths to their be
nighted minds, which conflicted with
their former preconceived opinions.
Many instances are on record where
men have met persecution and death
by discovering truths to the rabble.
Those insects would have done like
wise had they possessed sufficient
strength aud knowledge as to the real
cause of their unpleasant predicament.
Another good illustration is presented
when the sun shines upon the pesti
lential marsh causing miasma and
death to human beings. Whilo that
same sunshine cast upon a fertile and
generous soil causes vegetation and
food products to grow in abundance,
which nourish the body and gladden
the heart.
Now for the application: Valuable
and truthful informatiou imparted to
the vulgar and "ignorant minded man
or woman falls upon putrid soil, is
apt to bring in return sneers and
abuse; but when the light of truth is
shed upon a cultivated intellect equi
poised by the impulses of a noble soul,
happy and beneficent results follow-
The good seed already sown bears
fruit of similar kind in due and proper
time; the world moves onward to a
higher material, moral and intellec
tual plane than ever before experi
enced ; the human race has improved,
is ready for this process to be repeated,
as there are always higher possibilities
in Nature's womb. Where there is no
progress, there is crystallization or
putrefaction, decay and death. Every
birth in the domain of sentient, phy
sical and intellectual life is attended
with more or less pain. Emerson, the
great Amerioan scholar, is recorded as
having said, there is no pain so un
pleasant as that caused by a new idea;
it quarrels with the older ideas and
settled notions, which it attempts to
dislodge while seeking a habitation in
the brain of the individual so im
pressed. The conservative mind does
not take kindly to such disturbances,
looks upon innovation or anything
that is new with distrust. It is well
that this is so; for the new truth
ought to he able to prove itself, before
acceptance; but it has the right to ask
for a fair consideration. It is, how
ever, too often met by vulgar abuse.
History furnishes examples in count
less numbers of the verity of the pro
positions already enunciated. Socrates
taught a system of morality which the
ignorant multitude and the vicious
ruling class of bis time did not under
stand ; consequently, be was given the
deadly hemlock. However, the pre
cepts of morality taught by that great
and good man marched on, shed the
light upon future ages, and are as ac
tive to-day as when uttered. The
teachings of Jesus made the scribes,
Pharisees and Jewish priests feel un
comfortable. That perverse genera
tion, in which He lived, would neither
see the light nor listen to the voice of
truth. His life was sacrificed to em
phasize his teachings. Galileo nearly
lost his life, because he had the temer
ity to contend that the Earth revolved
around the Sun on its axis. The
church prelates of his day called him
a fool, applied to him all manner ot
opprobious epithets. This postulate
conflicted with their material senses;
its truth, however, afterwards became
manifest. His memory is honored,
while the names of his chief persecut
ors are but empty remembrances.
Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian pa
triot, was relentlessly traduced by the
votaries of arbitrary government.
When accused of being a fool and in
sane, he remarked: " A fool in revolt
is infinitely wiser than a philosopher
forging a learned apology for bis
chains." Some of the close friends of
Wendell Phillips, at one time, serious
ly considered the proposition of con
fining him in an asylum on account of
bis anti-slavery views and utterances.
Their descendants now revera his mem
ory and honor his namo. " Now comes

until this time bad any charge ever been

THE LEGISLATURE.
Ten bills were introduced in the
Senate Friday during the short ses
sion, and two measures were passed.
Business was hurried through because
of the excitement attending the Sena
torial election.
A resolution introduced by Veness,
demanding a4O cent freight rate on
lumber, was passed without debate.
S. T. Smith introduced a bill (S. B.
93) requiring railroads to weigh cars of
lumber at junction points and Senator
Rasber presented No. 94, prohibiting
the sale or mortgage of property being
bought on the installment plan.
Davis of Tacooia fathered No. 95.
It amends the lair relating to dam
ages caused by drunken men. Land
lords under the new bill are not held
responsible and no damages may be
recovered unless it is proved that when
the bartender sold the drink be knew
it would result in intoxication.
Russell offered No. 96, making it a
a felony to supply an inmate of a pen
itentiary with explosives or weapons.
Bronson of Pierce is the father of
No. 97, requiring railroads to have flat
cars used in hauling lumber equipped
with railings, chains, etc.
Smith of Seattle presented No. 98,
which provides that witnesses may be
imprisoned unless they give bond for
appearance to testify.
Dr. Smith also introduced No. 99,
which requires all summons to be
served by the Sheriff or his deputy.
Any voter may now serve such legal
documents.
Dr. LeCrone, Senator from Pierce
county, is the author of No 100 of this
session. It fixes 10 cents an acre for
common lands and 50 cents an acre
for agricultural lands as the minimum
rental for State lands.
Tucker, in No. 101, provides a meas
ure which is sweeping in its provi
sions. It recites that any person who
shall feloniously steal, take and carry
away, lead or drive away the personal
goods or property of another under
the value of S3O shall be deemed guilty
of petit larceny. Punishment by fine
of not more than SSOO and imprison
ment of not more than one year, is
provided.
No. 102, Senator Hammer, provides
tbat if any inmate of a building used
for a saloon, gambling bouse or im
moral purposes is fined, such fine shall
be a lien upon the building.
Two bills were passed unanimously.
They are No. 43, by Ruth, appropriat
ing $l5O to pay Frank Owings, for
legal services rendered the State, and
No. 6, by Wilson, providing that rental
and interest from granted lands of
such institutions shall go into the cur
rent funds of the Agricultural College
and normal schools.
On motion of Palmer, adjournntcut

A New Capitol Wanted.
Yakima Democrat.
And now the legislators at Olympia
have reached the conclusion that the
new capitol building is too small for
their use, that the acoustic properties
of the two legislative balls are all
wrong and that the new State bouse is
entirely too small to meet their neces
sities. Already there is talk of build
ing a new capitol.
If the Legislature would " fire" a lot
of useless clerks and other haDgers-on
the members would probably find that
they have plenty of elbow room. Be
sides, the gentlemen who compose the
present Legislature have the satisfac
tion of knowing that they won't al
ways have to put up with such discom
forts.
This State of Washington has been
mercilessly jobbed in the matter of its
capitol ever since Statehood began.

Hopclcsi Case.
"Do you enjoy classical music?"
asked the young woman.
" Yes, miss," answered Mr. Cumtux,
'•I enjoy it much, but I never can get
over the idea that the tunes would
sound better if they were played by a
mandolin or banjo club."
YOUTHFUL Uncle (lately promoted
to loug trousers) —" Say, if you'll call
me uncle I'll give you a cent."
Mercenary Small Nephew—"Gimme
two cents an' I'll call you grandpa."
" HAIIIT is hard to overcome," re
marked the studious boarder.
" Yes," assented the frivolous one.

LILIES*OF HEALTH IND BEAUTY.
Iti a recent interview with Mrs. Lily
Langtry, she very wisely said :
"The fact that I believe in the superior
force of mind over mntter does not blind
me to the truth that the foundation of every
successful life is good health; that the key
stone to physical beauty is perfect physical
health.
"A sick woman cannot be a beautiful
woman, nor can she be anything; but what
we Knglish call a poor spirited woman.
"To a great extent a woman's beauty is
measured by her vitality—by her health.
"Work, Sunshine, Kxercise, Water and
Soap, Plain, Nourishing Food, Lots of
Fresh Air, and a Happy, Contented Spirit
—there, as you say, 'honest and true,' is
my working rule for youth, youthful spirits
and youthful looks."
One great secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys
tem and well-being. Every woman, young
or old, should know herself mi her phys
ical make-up. A good way to arrive at this
knowledge is to get a good doctor book,
such for instance as "The People's Common
Sense Medical Adviser," by R. V. Pierce,
M. D., which can readily be procured by
sending twenty-one cents in one-cent
stamps for paper-bound volume, or thirty
one cents for cloth-bound copy, and ad
dressing Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
" Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can always
be relied upon to cure when everything else
fails." writes Mrs. Dr. Nielsen, of 4301 Langley
Avenue. Chicago, Ills. "It is a certain cure for
female troubles, diseases in their worst forms.
I suffered for years with ulceration, intense
pains and n dreadful backache, which unfitted*
me for my work. Finally I grew so ill had to
keep to my bed. In this extremity I used 'Fa
vorite Prescription' for three months and then
I was well. Only those who have passed
through such a siege of sickness as I have will
understand how much I value Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription.''
Dr. Pierce offers reward for any case
of Leucori Ilea, Female Weakness, Prolap
sus, or Falling of Womb which he cannot
cure. All lie asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure. No substitute
for "Favorite Prescription " offers so much.
