ll' was scarcely necessary, for the Japanese ambassador to charac
terize as irrational the war scare talk concerning the relations
of his country with the United States. Most of us know that
■ : i the ambassador spoke truly, but we would
like to be informed what secret and malig
nt influences arc so constantly and in so
many shapes at work to create bad feeling
I between this nation and Japan. That some
Mich conspiracy is afoot is the belief of official circles in Washington.
The position is thus described:
Conspiracy to
Embroil Japan
and America
When Senator Lodge '-aid in the senate the other day. supplcment
ie speech of Senator Rayncr on the Mexican situation, that there
be a prearranged, .cut and dried effort in the newspapers to
tuble between Japan and the United State-;, he did not mean,
vplained. that the newspapers are purposely stirring up trouble, but
that they arc'being ascd by somebody for thi> purpose.
aytng that much. Mr. Lodge gave voice to the belief that is in
the minds of the president, the officials of the «tate department, members
• foreign relations committees of the senate and house, and other*
in Washington, that the persistent talk about President Taft's activity
in the Mexican situation being due to the discovery of a treaty between
i and Mexico is nursed and kept alive by those who desire for some
■•- to bring about a war between Japan and the United States.
What, tor example, was the inspiration and source of the elab
orately circumstantial story recently published concerning a secret
treaty between Japan and Mexico giving the former Magdalena bay
for a naval base and coaling station? That mysterious invention
could have come only from a source equally hostile to the United
States and Japan. It was promptly shown, to be a falsehood and
was from the first wildly improbable, as we pointed out in these
columns at the time of publication. invented this story
was assuredly an enemy of the United States, because these tales,
even when shown to be untrdie, always leave a certain residuum
of bad feeling.
It may be hoped that an effort will be made by the state depart
tn find the source and motive of this injurious invention.
THE political situation in Washington is unprecedented as well
as unsatisfactory, Mr. Taft. who is the accepted leader of
the republican party, is out of touch with both factions of his
following; in congress. Neither the insurgents
nor the standpatters arc in cordial relations
Binff in congress. Neither the insurgents
ie standpatters arc in cordial relations
with the White House. In fact, the course
of the insurgents in the senate is regarded as
extraordinary as well as quite out of line with
their past pretensions in regard to the tariff. They are reported to
be in opposition to the reciprocity agreement with Canada, not
withstanding that this measure is in the right line of their professed
policy to reduce the cost of living,by a downward revision of duties.
It is understood that the insurgent opposition to reciprocity is
<luc to personal ambitions of aspirants for the republican nomination
for president next year, but this fact, while it may explain, docs
not improve the situation. The president's position is thus described
in a Washington dispatch:
.Apparently the situation is not worrying the president in the least,
lie seems to have come around to the view that -when the people want
certain things done it is immaterial to them whether the accomplishment
is light about through one political party or the other. The president
believed when he called congress in special session that the people of the
United States favored the Canadian reciprocity agreement and desired to
fee it ratified promptly. »He still holds to this view. Since the people
want reciprocity with Canada, it is immaterial, according to the White
House view, whether the agreement shall be ratified in congress by
republican votes or democratic vote?. Of course. President Taft would
be greatly pleased to have his Canadian reciprocity agreement receive
the support of all the republicans, but he is not losing any sleep because
[the republicans are not backing him up.
This is to say that the president; is not playing politics and
is not concerned about the means employed to accomplish a useful
purpose as long as those means arc honest, and he will trust to
the good sense of the American people to assign the praise or blame
fur the results accomplished.
An Unusual

rilK letter written by Reekman Winthrop, assistant secretary
of the navy, to Representative Knowland, while according- a

ithstanding the conceded advantages of

We understand the difficulty that Mr. Winthrop
c in relation to the installation of depots for the
supply of fuel oil to the navy. How. for example, is this difficulty
more serious in the case of oil than in that of coaling stations'?
Mr. Winthmp perhaps might urge that coal can be bought in any
commercial port, whereas oil could only be had on the American
coait and in Mich depots as the department might install on non
contiguous territory. All this is true in time of peace, but not
important at any time. It is quite untrue in time of war. when the

Mary Knows You’re Not a Gentleman
You know Mary. She works in your building. P'raps she
operates the telephone, or she may be a stenographer; it is quite pos
sible she's a filing clerk. You meet her every day in the elevator.
She hops off and on at practically every floor—a plainfaced, plainly
dressed working woman, who quietly slips to one side of the car, so
that you never notice her—that's why you don't remove your hat.
It's strange, isn't it, how some folks can fade themselves into the
background. It's entirely different with Mrs. Ponsonby Puffles. No
sooner does her well shod foot reach through the door than your head
is bared, you stand to one side, you remember that you are a gentle
man —a man of breeding—you're proud of your gallant instincts;
you understand the right things in life; one can tell at a glance that
you are not a boor.
But, hold a while; perhaps we are hasty. Are you a gentleman?
It may be that you are a cheap tin imitation. Winced, didn't you?
That shot went home. In your heart of hearts, you realize that you
are half a cad and half a snob. What you mistake for polish is varnish.
Your breeding is laid on as occasion demands. Underneath, you
are a soft, weak, low grade piece of timber —cruel as only a little man
can be mean.
Oh, Mary knows. She sees through you. She realizes your
true measure. Men like you make working women hate life.
They come from every quarter of the land and from every estate
in life —these sober faced, plain slaves of the treadmill. Chance and
mischance cast them upon strange beaches. The law of supply and
demand fixes their wage; the brutal tradition of sex inferiority handi
caps their advance. The dollars in their pay envelopes are shorter

it is gratifying to learn from Mr. Winthrop that the two battleships

COLONEL JQIIN BIDDLE of the engineers' corps is going
I about the collection of data bearing on,the improvement and
** opening to navigation of the San Joaquin river from Stockton
■' ■ ■■■ ■ 7' to Fresno in a practical way, A canal from
Stockton running south into the heart of the
great valley is much to be desired. Congress
I has authorized a survey of the river as far
'":- ' , south as Herndon, which, as Colonel Biddle
in his letter on the subject says, is some 240 "river miles'' south of
Stockton. The statement of this fact is enough to .give some idea
of the crookedness of the river as it winds through the valley, and
it might imply that for effective canal purposes the river would .have
to be straightened at many places after purchase of rights of way.
It is the object of Colonel Biddle, indicated in his circular letter.
to get information from the people interested on this subject and
others concerned with the project. A most important branch of

ests, and it is chiefly to throw light on this branch of the subject
that Colonel Biddlc suggests an open conference of delegates from
the riparian and other communities affected.
The chambers of commerce of the San Joaquin valley towns
would do well to act on the suggestion and organize a joint
conference. •

Accomplished
Governor Hughes and his supporters were entirely responsible for
my appearance at Saratoga. T didn't get them into the fight. They
were in the tight. All I did was to try to help them out in a fight in
■which they were right. As long as they were in it I couldn't Stay out.
When I got back from Europe I wanted to go home and be quiet:
T didn't want to mix in polities'. But 1 wai importuned on every hand—
by the insurgents of the west and by the progressive* of my own state —•
to help along the movement for honesty in high places in the political
and financial world. It seemed to me that it whs my duty to try to help
them in the tight for popular government, without any regard to what
tht effect might be tome personally. I didn't see how I cOttld keep out
of the fight and retain my self-respect; so I went into it.
The colonel made % bully tight, but he was beaten by a rather
strange combination of the Wall street interests with the goo goos
and the heavy respectables. The latter were too fine and finicky
to relish the colonel's hearty and somewhat robustious methods
and they joined hands for once with Wall street and Tammany,
with the result that Avhile they did beat Roosevelt, they put the
state government in the control of Boss Murphy of Tammany, acting
under orders from Thomas Fortune Ryan.
The goo goos defeated Roosevelt out of petty spite and jealousy,
but they did the state of Xcw York a positive injury.
GLENN CURTISS. whose trial flights from warships in San
1 f Diego harboriiavc been the subject of international military
interest, is convinced that the future of warfare-is: in the air,
: ! 1 not figuratively, but literally. lie propounds
this alarming prophecy :
fTn the next* war I expect to see warships
destroyed by aeroplanes. This , can be done by v
sacrificing the life of one man to destroy, a war
■ r _ ■;;' —' * ship and its whole crew. An aeroplane, carrying
1.000 pounds of cxploMye, can hover about a battleship and destroy it
by dropping the explosive accurately^ or diving into the ship with the
dynamite.
It is a bloodthirsty suggestion of,■wholesale murder. A distorted
patriotism might inspire an aviator to give away his life on such
terms, but as a commercial proposition the inducements are not
alluring. \v
An Aviator's
Prophecy
of War
Apart from the individual point of view, it is a question whether
humanity docs not demand that some limits be placed on the horrors
of modern scientific warfare. The nations are agreed not to use
explosive bullets. They might go one step farther and agree to
limit war to land and sea.

But they're game; they never whimper. Time fades the roses
from their skins and streaks their faces with the yellowing tinge of
maturity, but they meet circumstance without a yellow streak in their

of contrast with the ease and luxury and leisure which your own

Side Lights From Washington
WHEN the sixty-second congress
came to an end March 4 the
leadership of the senate nom
inally passed from Nelson W.
Aldrich of Rhode Island to Boles Pen
rose of Pennsylvania, As a matter of
fact. Senator Aldrich had surrendered
his commission weeks before the ses-
I eion closed and it was Senator Penrose.
who directed the uncertain republican
organization in the tumultuous party
conflict which created tension all over
the country.
Penrose is admittedly the new leader
of the senate. The story of his start
In life presents nothing of the simple
annals of the poor. He is a member of
a wealthy and aristocratic Philadelphia
family. He was educated by tutors and
then went to Harvard.
His rhief hobby Is the Pennsylvania
republican organization, and It is said
of him that when asked Why he never
married, he replied, "I'll marry any
woman the republican organization In
dorses."
He has not been In a theater In 30
years and does not know how to play
poker, but he does know how to play
politics.
