POLICY.
Readers o f newspapers have no
doubt taken notice ot the new
deal in the Japanese-American af
fair, but we doubt if any have
read as clear a statement o f it in
any ot the dailies as is given in
the following, taken from the
Youth’s Companion:
The purport of the notes ex
changed between Japan and the
United States was stated in The
Companion last week. In brief,
they express the desire o f both
governments tor tree and peace
ful commerce on the Pacific, and
declare in favor ot the open door
in China and the maintenance of
the territorial integrity o f that
empire.
This agreement—it agreement
is a proper definition—fulfils the
work begun by John Hay, and
like his declarations o f policy
with regard to China, it is infor
mal in character. It is not a
treaty; it has not the effect o f an
alliance; it need not go to the
Senate tor ratification. It is a
mete declaration o f policy. Its
value is moral. It expresses the
intention o f each government to
respect the rights and wishes o f
the other.
The courteous assurances o f
mutual respect, the ceremony of
exchanging notes, the bit o f pic
turesque diplomatic flourish can
not prevent war between this
country and Japan, nor indeed
can the most binding treaty pre
vent war. But declarations o f
peaceful intention can do, have
already done, much to quiet the
tears of the world, to show that
no clash is imminent between the
tw o powers that dominate the
Pacific.
In the pledge to assist in devis
ing means to prevent disturbance
in China at the present critical
time lies the point in the exchange
o f notes at the present moment.
Nations united in a common re
sponsibility are in a position
more easily to settle differences
that may arise between them.
The tw o masters o f the Pacific
agree to make common cause ot
the integrity of China. This se
cures their own peace and brings
quiet into the entire East. It
may be that the nation which
brought about the treaty of
Portsmouth has entered upon a
noble career as keeper o f peace in
the Pacific.
tion in Kansas. They have re
sorted to every known means to
carry the day, but it is gratifying
to note from the following news
item from Topeka that they are
weakening: “ It is beleived by
Kansas officials that the brewers
and the wholesale liquor dealers
have decided to abandon this
state and withdraw from the
losing fight to stem the tide ot
prohibition. For more than a
quarter o f a century the liquor
interests o f the country have tried
to undermine prohibition senti
ment in Kansas, and at times
they were greatly encouraged.
When Governor Hoch goes out
o f office next month he will turn
over to his successor, W. R.
Hobbs, a state that is practically
without an open saloon or a li
censed resort.”
T o those that have suggested
to the Graphic that some expres
sion should be given with refer
ence to the sewer question, which
is to be voted on at the annual
city election, we suggest that
they carefully read the pamphlet
recently issued by the city coun
cil covering the sewer problem
and proposed changes in the city
charter and thus inform them
selves. The columns o f the
Graphic are open t o any taxpay
er who may desire to discuss this
very important question. While
a sewer system would be a great
thing for Newberg and an im
provement very much to be de
sired. we admit that we are very
much in donbt regarding the ad
visability of undertaking the sys
tem at the present time.

A pastor o f one o f the Portland
churches preached a sermon on
the moral obligations of members
o f the legislature which was re
ported in* a tw o column article
in Mondays papers. Bat since it
is known that this same pastor
gave his support in the election
last June toam an fora high office
whom he knew to be, not only a
confirmed drunkard bat a man
o f other loose moral habits, we
must admit that we have, some
doubts about his orthodoxy as a
preacher on the subject o f moral
obligations. Even in the dark
ages example was considered
more golden than precept.
