18 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1907. CHINA WILL RULE; JAPAN AT CREST Mikado's Empire Overrated, Says Head of Soo Chow University. WAR WILL SETTLE JAPAN T)r. D. S. Anderson, American, Dis cusses From an Asiatic's Stand point Future of Nations Fring ing Both Sides of Pacific. "China is the coming power in Asia, bar none," said Dr. D. I. Anderson, for 25 years president of the Soo-Chow Uni versity, at Boo-Chow, China, in the Portland Hotel yesterday. Soo-Chow is about 50 miles from Shanghai, "the New York of Asia," aa Dr. Anderson phrases it. Dr. Anderson is an American, a na tive of Georgia, and for a quarter of a century has been in position to learn much of the inside affairs across the Pacific, both from the yellow and the white standpoint. "Two things are common knowledge to every man acquainted with affairs in Asia," declared Dr. Anderson. "The first is that China and not Japan is r.ot only the yellow nation -of the immediate fu ture, but the coming dominating power in all Asia. In a few years even the combined Anglo-Saxon power in Asia must give way to China. Compared with this, Japan is a small issue. ."The second point is this: China does not like Japan, and there is no proba bility whatever that Japan will rule or even seriously Influence China. The Chinese neither like nor trust the Japa nese. China regards Japan as inferior to herself In every way, even in fighting ability, and China is right. Japan at Her Crest Now. "Japan has reached the crest of her power. She has jumped into world influ ence because of her one lucky stroke in downing Russia for the time being. But this place she cannot hold, and no one over there thinks she can. All this talk about Japan ever ruling China or Asia has about as much In It as the talk some years ago of the world greatness of Spain, or the possibility that she would defeat the United States. "Without any disrespect intended what ever, the position of the Japs in Asia, especially in China, is like that of the Jews in America. They are an active, intelligent people, who make themselves felt In many ways, but there is Just as much chance of the Japanese running things In Asia as there is of the Jews turning America into a Hebrew nation. The positions of the two people have many points in common, with the ex ception that today the Jew is respected in America, while in China the Jap is disliked and not trusted. Next W ar Will Settle Japan. "Another war will put Japan back where she was, and will keep her there a war with some great naval power, I mean, such as the United States or Eng land. Japan cannot be invaded by land forces any more than can England. She is essentially a naval power. Just like England. Now, sea power depends, oth er things being equal, on the resources of the nnnnnlnr nations anil thn T'niteH States can build ten ships and grow rich while Japan builds one and goes to financial ruin under the strain. ' "tf Togo had been defeated and the Russian warships had got between the Japanese Islands and the mainland, where would Japan, be today? Japan's whole position rests on the winning of one naval battle against a , third-class fleet. The squadron that sails from Hampton Roads today has Japan as a world power, either in the present or the future, at its mercy. Everybody on the Asiatic side knows this except Japan. "Jajlan has, since the war, begun to run the white man off the Asiatic coast, and every time Japan cuts into a white business, she hurts England ten times more than any other nation. England is getting very restless under this, and the ending of the Japanese-English alliance Is near. Then Japan must stand alone against all the other nations, and to this there is but one possible ending. Japan will go back to her old place Just as suddenly as she broke, out of it. " The Renaissance in China. "But with China the case is far differ ent. China, unlike Japan,- is a rich na tion, with hundreds of millions of good fighting men. She has natural resources equal to those, of America. A great change is even now transpiring in China. What she needs above all else is a change of government and a new finan cial system. The Chinese government Is not of the Ch.nese people. The case, to illustrate it clearly on this side of the water, 'is like the Spaniards ruling in Cuba. When the present Empress dies, and she is U years old there may be a huge world surprise rise up in China. It will be just as sudden, more unexpected and infinitely more formidable than the temporary rise of Japan. In 50 years the guns of the Golden Gate will be salut ing one of the greatest navies of the world and these ships will fly the flag of China. Remember, I am talking as an American. China is the best misunder stood country In the world today, as was said by a certain man recently. The two powers for all time on the. Pacific Ocean are America and China. "Japan will be as Sweden was in the middle ages. For a short time the Swedes swept down over Europe with a splendid army, the best in Europe at that time: but they did not stay long. And the same fate is coming to Japan, and in the near future, too. Chances in Chinese Trade. "American business men are blind to ddy concerning the chances for ' trade with China. Portland has a market straight to the west across the water that is worth more to her. ten tUnes over, than all the trade she has today, and why does not this city, for example, wake up to that fact? If Portland would send men over to China to get the busi ness, she would be swamped with orders at good profits. But this or any other American city, when they do business with China, must "deliver the goods,' to use a slang expression. Only the cheap est and lowest class of Chinese come here, as a rule, and the Pacific Coast In particular has an idea that all the hundreds of millions in China are like them. This is -just as foolish .as if the Chinese rated all. the Americans In the same class with the 'poor white trash' of the South. f Japan Inspired the Boycott. . "The recent Chinese boycott against America was Japanese doings, and it has largely died out for that very reason. At the worst. It was not a national move ment. Only the lower classes of China .fell into the wily Jap trap Right today, China looks on America as her best friend, because this nation is not a 'land grabber,' a term feared in China. The Japanese are. But I doubt if Japan wants the Philippines; that is, the most far-sighted Japanese statesmen. The bulk of the people have no idea, in Japan, of the power of the white man. They see only a few ships, a few travellers, and rate us accordingly. China did the same till the Boxer troubles. Then when the white columns went plunging cinto Pekin, China awoke to what the white race was. Fifty years ago any white man who would have predicted what Japan Is and has done today would have been thought crazy. But with the Japa nese example before the white race, a little poor, cramped nation at Ihe best, let Europe and America be (prepared for far greater things to come out of China. China will become a world power in less time from today than did Japan or the United States. The future of the Pacific, both in war and in trade, rests' in the' hands of the United States and of China." " REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Dee. 16, iBOT C P and Nettle Bunk- -er to Anthony Hardy.

WILL SPEND $1,000,000 Steel Cars- Carrying 50,000 Feet Will Mean Reduction of Rates, Which Hill Must Meet In crease In Traffic Is Vast. ' " OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. 17. (Special.WE. H. 'Harriman. to keep up with his rival. J.'J. Hill, plans to spend over Jl.OOO.OOO in equipping the Union -Pacific Railroad with a newly-designed freight car, built especially to carry lumber. About 1000 of these cars are to be ordered from the Pittsburg: Pressed Steel Car Company, at $1000 each. When put in service they will be used eolely for carrying lumber. . They will have twice the capacity for that purpose of the present cars and will thus enable the Union Pacific to lower its lumber carrying rates. Mr. Hill will be forced to do likewise and will probably be forced to equip his 11ne3 with the new etyle car to keep from losing money. The new cars will carry 50,000 feet, against 20.000, the capacity of cars now used. . In the last five years the Union Pacific Railroad has increased its lumber busi ness hundreds per -cent. Previously lit tle Pacific Coast lumber was used east of. the Rocky Mountains; now. with the depletion of the Northern forests. It is likely soon to be the only kind of lumber on the market. Hence the plans the Union Pacific is making to get a large share of the lumber business. ; , NOT SURE ABOUT PROCEEDING ' " . V ' Illinois Central Stockholders Are Doubtful Union Pacific Assailed. CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Whether the ad journed annual meetng of the Illinois Central stockholders shall proceed with the business before it upon being called to order tomorrow, or shall be ad journed to a future . date will be the subject- of an eleventh-hour decision. Consideration of the matter, which re sulted today in failure of the opposing; attorneys to agree upon the action to, be taken, will be taken up again to morrow morning before Judge Ball in the Superior Court. It is probablie that the court will be asked to set -a date for the holding of the election. , Mr. Farrar, contrary to expectations, had not finished his argument in tlie injunction hearing when court ad journed and will probably consume most of the early session tomorrow. Today he took occasion to assail the Union Pacific Railroad Compfiny, which he characterized as a "Morrmon organization," guilty of "polygamy and bigamy." .

The Oregonlan nede no "help from th un dersigned to direct 'the public attention to John Greenleaf Whtttler, and to the quality of hi verse. But no near as December IT, It seems good to let out the thought a person cherishes concerning the Quaker pot, appear in print. ft was poor health that took Whittier out of journalism and politics and placed him so near, the.' heart of the soil that he could hear Its beet.

No poet of the republic is so distinctly American as Whittier, who did not wander over the earth for his themes. Seven of his poems are sung as hymns In our churches these seven hymns would perpetuate His name for another hundred years. Whittter never broke away from the thought, of God's goodness and love, and no poet otTier than he has absorbed so much of the English Bible. "Le .there be light!" God spake of old.

But It Suffered- and it Aroused the Sympathy of a Kind-Hearted Ob server. I had turned the corner to go to The Oregonlan . building a few mornings ago when saw a crowd gathered in street. I always avoid crowds when I can, as I have found they are-so often associated with something horrible, but I couldn't avoid it this time, . and as' I came nearer I saw someone in the midst of the crowd holding up in" the air by its. tail, a rat. Two dogs jumped about endeavoring to reach it and a crowd of men and boys stood around in evident enjoyment. I couldn't see where the pleasure would lie, even with a dead rat, but at last the man (since I must give him, that title) who held it, tossed it into the middle of the street. The dogs bounded for it and then stood still, sniff ing at it, and suddenly I saw that poor animal get on its legs and try to crawl away. It was alive. But when it moved, the dogs bit at it. So it stopped, hud dled together, and the dogs turned away, losing Interest in a thing that crouched so still. But the crowd Wag enjoying it; it was a shame to have-the pleasure end. Someone stepped forward and kicked that crawling frightened thing into the air. , The . interest of the dogs was aroused again and they ran forward, waiting for it to fall. It fell, made an other effort to crawl away, but one of the dogs snapped at It again, and it lay quiet once more a pitiful, bedraggled, living- object, which men call "one of God's 'creatures." And I stood apart and watched watched that helpless gutter rat; watched the dogs who thought it sport: watched the human dogs who thought it sport, ' too. I might have stepped into the crowd and stopped them. Perhaps I was no better than they; I hadn't the courage. . And so I stood and looked at the faces of the men who Vme and went, hoping that there would be one who would stop that mirthless sport one to whom I could at least appeal but they passed by unheeding, or stopped and Joined the crowd. Men profess to care for the respect, the admiration, the love of women, and yet, though there is not a woman I ever knew who would not have worshiped the man who had gone into that crowd and ended the torment of a helpless rat. there was not, -one who seemed to even care. And I a woman and a coward stood .and foolishly prayed that it would die. And I saw those men in a circle watch with keen Interest the torment, the tor ture of a living thing. What did it mat ter? It was a gutfer rat. ; - H. O. 1 BAD - MEMORY IS PERJURY Man Who "Forgets" He Offers Bribe Is Sentenced to Two Years. v - - . ST.
