A WORD OF CAUTION
Just four days Intervene before the
time elapse? for t&c announcement of
candidacies for nominations for the
new council to bo elected in May, but
?0 far the list of namrs. ?with some
exceptions, is not a very encouraging,
one, and this is not to be understood
as reflecting personally on any who
have annouueed themselves. The ob
ject of the new form of city govern
ment to be inaugurated is to give the
community an efficient and business
f like administration of municipal af
fairs.
The fate of this new government
hangs on the ability and qualifications
of the members of the council. It be
hooves those who were active in pro
moting the new charter to interest
themselves in seeing that capable men
i .
stand for the candidacies :n the vari
ous wards if they hope to see the new
government survive the test. The new]
alignment of administrative rvsponsi-j
bllity has the promise of improvement
over the oid order, but it will signal
ly fail in its aim if there is :io im-.
provem?*tu in the councilmanic nia-j
terial.
SPIRIT BEHIND WAR LOAN
The unanimous vote of the House of
Representatives in approval of the
seven billion war bond issue was a;
concrete demonstration of the unifi-J
cation of the country in espousal of
./the cause of the .VI lies an-! with whom j
we hav/ea-t our fortune.-, against the'
common en< ur of the ideals and prin
ciples of democratic government. In
the course of the debate, unmarred
by any bitter or factitious opposition,
there was, however, some inconsist
ency i:l tits- altitude of [>preserirat;ve
?>Icorc, of Pennsylvania, who imposed
& mercenary vU-w on the House, by
having the repayment of any loan
made to the Allies Hosely safeguard

I be yghting." That, we believe. is the
sentiment that pervades the people of
- the land, a sentiment that will have a
1 moral effect on the battling battalions
? of the entente. Congressman Fitzger
ald. Democrat, chairman of the Ap
propriations, Committee also gase th"
-right cue to the situation when he
? said: "I w. .ulii be glad to vote i,. give
the Allies $K.i)i>i'.i"iit.iion jf jt would
end the war. If by giving them money
we can save the sacrifice of Ameri
can lives I do cot care about repa>
ment."
That's t he point. We are providing
this vast sum of money to shorten
the' war and prevent the further out
pouring of blood treasure, and no' to
prolong the conflict. If money in
-toad of more 'soldier- will brins:
peace, then twice "seven billions would
be cheap if never a cent of it were
returned.
A GREAT HELPING HAND
The popular belief that ^ig corpor
ations can never rise to a purely un
selfish act is getting sono' heavy jacs
Lihese days. The 1??> *? I response t Jm r
has been made all ov?>r the country
by great organizations of capital and
industry to th<: nation's net-ds must
go a long way.-, :a dispelling the an
cient fiction that "corporations have
no souls." Ore of the earliest to en
ter th'- work of giving a practical
demonstration of its helpful intentions
.was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
In another great war it gave devoted
?ervi'Ce to the I'nion. In this war it
responded with the same alacrity and
efficiency. It has now completed ar

Til.' .-.i'iri' "f democrary which was
tirmly instilled into the veins of
American ton fathers 1 1: roup h the un
devotion of tleorge Washington
!<? democratic principle.-, and was
thoroughly nationalized throush the
noble efforts of Abraluun Lincoln, lias
recently received a strong impetus
from vriur treat President Woodrow
Wilson, who. ?in his meiuorabXl' ad
dress to the Sixty-fourth congress,
undertook llie task of international
izing it. It is aiso tor ihe upholding
of liii.- principle ill the United States,
and the world at largo as well, that
ihf president has asked congress, con
vened i:i extraordinary session, to de
elare th?? existence of a slate of war
between lite United States and tier
many. Undoubtedly he has estab
lished himself strongly in the high
estimation of all well wishers of man
kind in saying: "We have no selfish
ends 'o serve. We , desire no con
quest. no domination. Wo seek no
indemnities for ourselves. No ma
terial compensation for the sacrifices,
we ,-liall treeiy make. We are* but1
one of the champions of the rights
of mankind. We shall be satisfied!
when those riuiit- have been made as]
secure as the faith and the freedom'
of the nation can matte thorn."
True i u his declaration. Mr. Wilson
may accomplish what is considered
almosi a dreahi at this stage of world j
civilization ? eternal peace on earth. j
The world stands now at the parting
of the ways. Whether th" world will
better or worse after the war de
pends larsel yon the attitude which
victorious nations wiM assume toward
ihe beaten tuitions as well as the!
weaker ones. Without sacrifices on;
the part of stronger nations world
peace cannot, be looked for, since
world peace' lies where self-respect
and nVpect for others, regardless of
power, race, religion, manners, cus
toms and ways of thinking, exist be
tween nations as well as between in
dividuals in the irue sense of ihe
terms. Mr. Wilson's policies in deal
ing with t'hina. Colombia, Mexico, as
well as the Philippine Island* have
more than provtd that, he does every
thing in his -power to carry out his
convictions as io what is right and
just. ami his words always come from
bottom of his bin heart. It is he
r: use of my whole-hearted confidence
it: President Wilson that I hail the
entrance of the United States into the
v.tr as a sure sun of a better solution
ol the European muddle which o:hcr
wise hardly he expeefd. Standing
fast to democratic principles and pos
sessing firmly the spirit of sacrifice,
his active participation in the peace
conference to rome will wield a much
greater influence upon moulding the
destinies of nations than he would
have exercis"d a sa mere arbiter.
It is also a matter of profound sat
isfaction 10 5ep that ihe people of this
j country, largely, if not all. share the
same view ,-i sthe president, though
lit may b? expressed in different, terms
and in varying values Any one who
has witnessed the suddenehange in
the feeling of Americans toward the
; Russians because of ihe successful
'revolution will. I believe .agree with
me; they certainly will dispute the
verdict: of some critics that ihe spirit
wheh animated the Americans of *'7fi
is as conspicuous among the present
day Americans as it was at the time
-not because of its existence, bti*
h"caus? of Its absence. Without an
innate love of liberty and justice no
people would have received the news
of the revolution with such enthusi
asm and sympathy as Americans tv
stowed upon the I Jus.- ia us. with whose
autocrat ii- government i li ? ? y have,
. heretofore. been on anything but
pleasant terms. Partly duo 'o the
appreciation ?>t such true American
ism a great nope attends America's
entrance fnto the war. mr her partici
pation in active war will not only
crush the Herman hope of victory, bui
it twill go h long way toward impress
ing liberal Germans that they can
gi'ing pcaue without dishonor it they
can but succeed in throwing from
their shoulders the yoke of autocracy.
For. in ths way alone, can they enlist
American sympathy and strength in
'their favor.
] In the face of these facts America's
i entrance into the war does not necos
isarily mean t h?- abandonment of the
'Monroe Doctrine. since, upon entering
; int o the war. neither political aggres
. sion nor colonial expansion is in
ivolved; on the contrary, it is an < \
Illusion of the principles contained in
that t ime-honored doetrim-. for th>s
'adoption of the docirine with regard
to all nations is ail that underlies the
motives of the proposed war meas
ure. Indeed, the I'nited States has
reason to congratulate Serself on hav
ing a president of .Mr. Wilson's caliber
and integrity at a time wh"js western
civilization is. as was well expressed
by him. in the balance.
There is another reason, probably
selfish in motive Inn none the less
important to it.- Japanese, why we
welcome America's participation in
the war. It is true that we are nor
altogether satisfied with the treat
ment accorded u.- bv certain states of
the west. It is also true that the
[Japanese government has done what
:ir. can to protect us by entering into
the gentlemen's agreement and enact
ing an expatriation law, and we are
?eagerly waiting for a sympa.thei ic
move to be made by the Americans.
Re that as it may, most of us, 1 firmly
believe, are not unaware of our own
faults which are partly responsible for
the alleged discrimination, and tlvre
are quite a few .lapato-.-e who thinl;
it t h ? ? i r duty to prove that they are
not so undesirable as is generally
not so undesirable a.- is generally
-believed. The Herman- American war
'may give us a chance to serve the
country under whose protection we
are making a living. And, a- was the
case in the /'immermann note inci
dent, it may serve to clear away what
ever is left of misunderstanding be
tween Americans ami Japanese. The
response .of Japanese to the call of
this country? if the call be extended
to them is not mere speculation, but
based on the Japanese sen.-e of duty
with which they are born. Jive and
die. Patriotism and ioyal'.v are taken
lor granted by Japanese as tlu ir duty.
Their loyalty and patriotism, however,
are not so narrow and blind as is gen
erally believed bj western peoples.
Kven the humblest Japanese would
say "tliri to ninio tovva kakare n:?i."
for which there j> no linglish equiva
lent. but it? meaning is sotuching
like this: No matter what the ?0.-t. ;;
sen.' of duty must govern all your
ads. and do not fail to make due
allowance for human nature m others.
In case of conflict between duty ami
human nature, the i imehonoi'd irle.i.
"the great moral obligation knows no
blood relations." pr? vails, Japanese
history is replete with v lories of re
nouti'ing blood relation^ in t!ie dis
charge of one'.- duty. With this in
mind, one can hardiy f . ? i J to under
stand that tie Japatte.-e hej-e will
