ASIATIC TRADE FOR TnE ORIENTALS.
A-
JH ORGANIZATION, called the
"Pan Aalntlr-. Association ' was
announced In the papers of
December 30th to have been
formed In Tokyo, for the avowed ob
ject of securing a monopoly of Asi
atic trade for the Orientals.
This is the expression of a grow
ing Impulse In one Oriental nation
after another to exclude Occidental
nations, without "exception, from
trade with Japan, China, India and
other Orientals, so far as coopera
tion between poweriul organizations
of native merchants inthe Eastern
lands can effect It.
This Jealousy has been long In ev
idence.
A direct primary law rejected by
the legislature and enacted by direct
legislation enables the citizen to
elect to the legislature- representa
tives who represent, and in whose
collective aetion, made virtuous by
fear of the referendum, the people
have real representative government.

Are not the wide spaces of the unin

our eyes and the solitariness of the
herder, longing for the sound of a
friendly human voice?
In no occupation does the mixture
of enforced idleness with continu

better deserved pay,
Sofar as Oregon Is concerned the
dawn of the passing of the sheep

the financial maelstrom that held the

to accomplish these ends. The rapid
extension In Japan of factories rival

importance, and the training of thou
sands of her Ingenious workers in the
new industries, have laid on Japan
the pressing need to find new mar

ambitious people find means better
calculated' to help them on towards
the headshlptof the East than by, add
ing the actual, physical bonds of a

gained by successful war?
So the mixed motives of ambition,
of pride ot race, of jealousy of for

lessness under foreign domination or
control are, and have long been, at
work. The Beeds have been sown In
soils ready to receive them. The

An interview with Professor Ford
in the Journal credits . him with a
widely different view of direct legis

quoted as seeing many excellent fea
tures in the system. But what plan
ot government is it that should be

William Trufant Foster was bora in
Boston. Mass., January 18, 1S7. He
was educated at tho Roxbury (Mass)
high school and Harvard college, where
ha graduated In- 101. -Front 1801 to
1903 he taught English at Bates col
lege. The year 1903-04 he spent in the
study of English, argumentation and
education at Harvard, receiving the de
gree of A. ML In 1804 he came to BoV
doin college as instructor In English
and argumentation, and became profes
sor in 1906. At Bowdoln he also gave
courses in education, and in June, 1910,
his title waschanged from Professor of
English and Argumentation to Professor
of Education. Tho year 1909-10 he had
a leave of absence from Bowdoln, which
bo spent at Teachers' college, Columbia
university, in the study of the college
curriculum. During that year and the
past summer he filled a position In Co
lumbia university as lecturer in educa
tional administration and. completed the
residence requirements to the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy in Education and
Sociology. He taught the course in the
principles of education at the Harvard
university summer school in 1909. '

Be Efficient,
From the Beattle Pqst-InteUigeneer
Efficiency is economy. - - It is use
without waste," the use of capital'
labor, the use of talent and time, the
use of the splendid qualities which go
to make character in the- Jeweled
meaning of the word. . -
The maximum of - individual effi
ciency is attained only When we t
the best there is la us In the best
way. ? :-
Inefficiency, whether tndlvidual or
collective, whether, in ' the case of
man or a machine, la extravagance.
- It is a sheer loss of capital, of en
ergy of talent and time. , .
Efficiency in law means to-do what
the law requires, or not. to 4o what
the law prohibits. In contractors!
-relations, efficiency means specific
performance, the doing of the thing
the man Is pledged to do in the time
and in the way he contracted to do
it But only mental and . moral bank
rupts look In law books for a full
statement of their social and eivle

No big man can nv between the
lids of a law took.
There are services to render, obliga
tions and v responsibilities to meet, and
dUtleB to perform not taken ' into tha
reckoning of our wisest lawgivers. '
The citizen rises to the full measure
of his efficiency only when - he ex
tends his efforts and his energies Into
a sphere much broader than the law's
