O "THE YELLOW PERIL
Russia and other European powers that syinpath
ize with it in its present contest with Japan are do
ing what they can to alarm the rest of the world
with the Idea that " a yellow peril" will threaten
it in case Jauan triumphs. A warniug is sent out
because that country is the only republic among the
old world powers. Were France to idoutify her
self with interests hostile to ours, however, the
friendly feeling would at once disappear. , i
Xational friendship depends entirely upon the at
titudo of the powers concerned. Russia is now fight
ing for monopoly of far eastern trade. She is
seeking to shut, us off from our share of oriental
commerce. Japan, on the other hand, is wammr rt
war for commercial liberty. Her interests are iden
tical with those of the United States and England.
No matter what has transpired in the past, our
-
plain duty. today is to lend encouragement to our
present-day friends. Traditional sentiment has its
proper place in history, but , commercial security
absolutely replaces it in practice. We are not mani
festing any particular friendship for the Japanese
in the present struggle, but we can not but admire
their wonderfully progressive spirit, which almost
equals that of our own people, and actually surpasses
that of any other nation ; but we are triendly to the
cause which she has espoused, Japan, Great Brit
ain and the United States havemutual interests at
stake in the far east, and those interests demand out
earnest attention, no matter how friendly the pres-
lent opposing interests may htive,Wn in the past.
It s not a matter of sentiment, but of interest.

which is weak financially, industriously and polit
ically. Russia is ruled by a czar of highly humane
purposes, but, unfortunately, it is only too evident
that he is surrounded by a bureaucracy which is en
tirely at variance with his ideas and beyond, his
control. 'Further, Russia 'is seething with discon
tent, arising from misgovernment and the corrup
tion winch prevails among the official classes. It
is not easy, therefore, to calculate the effect of a mil-
itary and naval reverses upon the Russian govern
ment, especially should they mean, as now appears
probable, the driving back of Russia to the Amur
river. ' Important developments in Russian affairs
of a more or less revolutionary character are then
tore quite within the range of possibilities, should
Japan continue on her victorioas course. Added to
this uncertainty there is fear of an uprising this
spring m the Balkans, the outcome of which is en
tirely beyond calculation; so that the foreign situ
ation is far from bein assuring.

. THE MATTER OP FRIENDSHIP.
The Oregonian replies interestingly to the pro
Russian element in the United .States which is out
with its reprimands because of the decidedly friendly
spirit manifested by our government for the Japan
ese in their tar eastern trouble. The Oregonian goes
into the history involved in the sentimental discus
sion now being waged, and concludes that America
is under no particular obligation to Russia for any
ehing she has ever done for us. That Russia once
saw fit to assume rather a friendly attitude towards
our country can Ik- regarded -hh no particular mani
festation of love for us; the circumstance is attribut
ed to Russia's hatred for England, against which
'country America was then waging a revolution.
What Russia has or has not done for us in the past
is not a present-day consideration. International
friendships are merely temporary. Twice in the his
tory of the American republic England tried to
wipe her citizens oft the lace of the earth. During
the revolutionary war and during the war of 1812-14
the people of the tJnited States hated England with
all the bitterness capable of emanating from a liberty-loving
people whose enemy sought to destroy
them. Today England is our best friend. We en
tertain a natural feeling of friendship for France,
The Washington Post refers to the editor of the
Oregonian as "Colonel" Harvey Scott. It is to be
presumed that Mr. Scott acquired the title at the
time he commanded Senator Brownell, of Clack
mas county, to accept an opportunity which the
editor deemed favorable to an ambition he once cher
ished. ; ' 1
