How a Briton Views It. i
The Americans fear the Japan-!
ese as their most dangerous com- J
mercial competitors in the com
merce of the far East, and see in
the extension of the political power;
of Japan the destruction of a pre
sent profitable trade of vast future
posibilities. This fear is not
ocal, but national. It is no greater j
on the Pacific Coastt in the city of
San Francisco, the natural entrepot
of transpacific commerce, than it
is in the cotton manufacturing sec
tions of the South or-in New
York, where California as well as
the South is financed. Americans
were vitally interested in the
preservation of the integrity of
China and the maintenance of the
open door, not. -because . they had
the slightest concern in the politics
of the far East, but because they
wanted ' "to enjoy a "profitable
market.- There .urecatton:mflls
in the South whose entire output
is marketed, to China; there are
concerns in Sa"n Francisco and
New: York, which have for years
carried on a heavy trade - with
China; -there are- American steam
ship lines funning between Ameri
can and'Chinese pprfs;. Since the
conclusion of. the war Americans
complain that they have been placed
at a disadvantage; that Japan has
given preferences to her own
traders and has discriminated
against American merchants; that
the political power exercised by
Japan over China foreshadows the
time not far distant when Japan
will have so completely monopoliz
ed the trade of the far East that
it will be useless for Americans to
try to compete. A. Maurice Low
in National Review, London.

A Senseless Habit.
A very senseless and filthy habit
is that of wetting the lead of a
pencil in the .mouth before proceed
ing to write, yet avmajority of the
people do it. Wetting the lead
hardens and finally ruins it, and a
moment's thought will show how
unsanitary the practice is. An
energetic clerk in the office of an
eastern newspaper says that by
actual count 46 out of 50 people
that come into his office to write
advertisements for his paper wou'd
wet the pencil before using it. Not
wanting tiis pencil ruined in that
way, he purchased some cheap
ones for the office, and when the
driver of a beer wagon, with the
stent of beer, onions, cheese, etc.,
on his breath, came in to put in an
ad for a bulldog, and proceeded to
wet the pencil, and a few minutes
later a pretty girl stepped in to
write an ad for a lost bracelet, and
proceed to lick the same pencil,
then the idea occurred to him to
count those who would wet the
pencil before writing during the
balance of the day, with the result
that 46 out of 50 licked the same
pencil during the day. Just why
people wet a pencil before writing
no one seems to know, but they
do it. Liberty Vindicator.
The fact that Japanese are emi
grating to the Sandwich Islands
has been noticed by "Fighting
Bob" Evans.
.The Indians have been holding
a I grand pow-wow, but nothing
like the one that will be pulled off
at Austin next month.
