Editorial Comment.
Japan has delivered an ultima
tum to China, asking that she
immediately enforce her neutral
ity in the case of the Russian
cruiser skoid and the torpepo
boat destroyer Grozovoi, now
seeking shelter at Shanghai.
International law permits a war
vessel to find shelter in a neutral
port lor 24 hours, at which time
it must return to tbe high seas.
Japan is well within her rights
in the premise, and if the
Chinese government does not
compel the withdrawal then
Japan will compel the vessels
ilhr to leave the port or dis
mantle. Japan proposes to com
pel China to recognize her as the
dominant power in the Far East.
We admire the little fellow's
pluck.
From Wednesday's Oregonian
we clip the following dispatch
dated atTokio, August 15, which
tells its own story:
Vice-Admiral Kamimura res
cued 600 of the crew of the Rus
sian cruiser Rurik, sunk by his
squadion off Tsu Island yester
day. The Japanese generally
are comparing the treatment ac
corded the crew of the Rurik to
that accorded by the Vladivostok
squadron to those on board the
transport Hitachi, which the
squadron sank June 15 during its
first raid. A prominent official
said to the Associated Press to
day: "Japan has avenged the
Hitachi. Admiral Kamimura
jcscued and succored those who
aided in sinking the Hitachi
and who sailed away from hun
dreds of drowning victims. We
offer their living for our dead."
And Russia has always been
das-iif-ed as a Christian nation;
the Japanese have been set down
as heathen.

The New York Sun, which for
years has been the strongest Dem-cc-aiic
sheet in New York city,
has tlii i ecr declared for Roose
veit and Fairbanks. In the
course of a long editorial, defin
ing its position on this subject,
it says: "We have more faith
au the distinct promises of the
Chicago platform, not ignoring
tthe many serious defects of that
document, than we have in the
miserable hell-broth of dishwater
uind dynamite concocted at St.
X,ouis a month ago by a party
.afraid to renounce its criminal
ibllies, and tasted yesterday at
XCsoptu by a respectable candi
date who declares with gusto that
its flavor is admirable."
The Sun is only one of many
papers, lormerly Democratic, tnat
Iiave been compelled to desert
the trust party and come over to
the party of protection and pros
perity. Prunes! Prunes! Prunes!
About 200,000 pounds of
prunes, Italian and French, are
lieing processed and packed at
the IJenton County Prune com
pany's packing plant in this city.
The busy hum of voices and clat
ter of machinery and boxes in
dicates that something is doing.
And something is doing for 20
ladies are busy packing while as
many men are engaged about the
processor. The prunes are bright
and glossy as they come through
the operation and are put up in
boxes lined with tissue paper
delicately stamped and calculated
to beguile the wily Eastern con
sumer. Each box contains 25
pounds and no pains are spared
to make them attractive and sala
ble. Most of them go to New
York buyers. There will be
about 100,000 pounds of Italians,
abost as many French with a
few 50s and 60s.
