SUCCESS TO JAPAN!'
The Russian government, with cus
tomary disregard for national honor,
has,ever since the withdrawal of troops
from China by the power which Inter
ceded during the Boxer troubles, been
Industriously augmenting her armed
force, in Manchuria, ; utitSl today the
eiar has an Immense force there. Other
nations have mildly protested at times,
and Russia has repeatedly promised to
send back her troops to Russian rerrl-
ry. in the absence of vigorous ac
tion on the part of other powers, she
has pressed her scheme tor Russian
(gallon of Manchuria until she has gone
so far that war o,r complete back-down
is necessary. Atone of the powers Ja
pan has dared dispute the way of the
-car, and if war comes, the little brown
men will have forced It.
Manchuria Is a country rich in trade
possibilities and the grasping Russian
sees In it a magnificent accession to its
Siberian Interests, As a trade-develop-
er for the eriTpire Manchuria would be
of IncsJcuabie value. On the flimsy pre
text than only Chin and herself are
concerned in this latest territory-acqulr
Ing expedition, Russia Ignores Japan's
protest and rushes to the Mnnchurian
seaboard ships 'of war and armed men
In anticipation of an emergency. :
Should Russia's present scheme prove
successful, the trade of the world will
re.-eiwd a material set-back. At great
expense '. the world powers, opened
Chinese trade, and now they are about
to be deprived of more than half the
result of their concerted action by the
closing of Manchurian ports except to
Russian commerce. " This can haw hut
one result the. absolute;, control of
Western Asia by the cssar's government
Those powers which Intervened in
the Orient In the interests of commerce,
with only the resistance of feeble China
to fear, may now find excuse to permit
continuance of Russian aggression in
Manchuria, but such indifference would
be a blot on history that ages will not
efface. V ' - :'.
Much controversy has arisen as to
the meanest man.- At last the fellow
was caught, says the Tacoma Ledger.
It Is to be regretted that he is likely to
escape punishment. Sush a fate is far
too good for the meanest man. This fel
low committed perjury in Alaska. He
had been hired to swear to the guilt of
u plrl charged with a crime. Whether
this girl was guilty or not does not ap
pear, but the scoundrel made a mistake
and picked out the wrong victim. On
his false testimony an Innocent girl was
convicted ind sentenced to imprison
ment on McNeal'a island. There she
died of a broken heart, although a par
don had been secured for her when too
late. The .nan who had ruined and
killed her has been under arrest in Brit
ish territory, and rather than pay the
expense of bringing him within Amer
ican Jurisdiction it is said the authori
ties will permit him to be turned loose.
There is nuch to regret In this. Great
costs are piled up in pursuit of crimi
nals not half eo dangerous and despic
able. However, there is the comfort of
knowing that vhe scoundrel will ever be
nfiald to come to this country. He Is
not likely to establish himself in the

of which it is composed are selected for their alterative and tonic prop

It is announced from Washington
that the subject of uniform divorce
laws will be treated by the president
tn his message to congess. The presi
dent la expected to suggest a congres
sional inquiry In the hope that some
kind of reform may be devised. While
It ts agreed that congress. has no power
to ptiss laws relating to divorce, it Is
thought that a congressional inquiry
might result in such an agitation on
the question that the states could be
Induced to adopt uniform laws.
