So, the etolcisin and the taciturnity of the Indian are nurtured in early youth, though of course one reason for the Indian's lack of fluency In speech is that in his life and thought he has not the need of many words.

Japan Is Inclined to resent the re enrreiKn of allegations in tint newspapers-of tills country that she has designs upon the Philippines. In an Mhlrcs before the ineinlxTS of the 'levebiiiil riiiuiilHT of Commerce, Hon. ;kl Illokl.

EKI IIIOKI Kucretary of the Japancno Embassy. attitude of that nation In her future industrial and commercial life. Mr. Illokl lays sHclal emphasis upon the frank mid authoritative disavowals of the frequently-reported ambition of Japan to absorb the Philippine Islands for her own people. "For the sake of argument." said Mr. Illokl, "laying aside entirely lor the moment consideration of the mo tive of Japan regarding the present subject, let me ask you a question. Can you lelleve that this great Amer ican people who glory in their national spirit in their gigantic strength. In their Itoundless wealth, In their mar velous development, and look forward with proud and confident anticipation to the time when they shall lie the first lu the race civilization has set for man to run, would a flow her flag to be lowered, be It in the Philippines or anywhere else which legitimately IsdongH to her, by any hands but hers? No, most emphatically no. J hat is the spirit with which you Cling to your new possessions in the Pacific and that ought to lie the spirit of the Miph who respect honor und Justice. ' Would Mean Gigantic War. 'And who can Is-tter understand that spirit of the Americans than the Japanese? Therefore, If Japan lmr Isired such a sinister design as Is at tributed to her, she must be prepared to plunge lu n war far more gigantic than the one Just ended against a na tion to which she owes much that she Is to-day and to whose people she owes that moral nnd financial support so unreservedly given at the most critical period in her history. No, the Philippines are not won a the sac ritlce of such a valuable friendship ns Hint of America and the enormous losses in men and money which such a war would necessarily entail. .Nor Is Japan in a position to carry on an other costly war, but for self-defense. For Open Door In China. "The Increased prestige of Japan turned the eyes of the world toward the problem of what influence Japan will wield over China. Home people go so rnr ns to assert unit Japan will control China, proclaim the Mon roe doctrine for Asia, and drive out from the Fast ull the white devils and exterminate the Western influ ences within its liorders. "Without questioning either the value of the principles contained in the no-called Monroe doctrine or Its applicability to the Fusteru situation at present, I can simply sny that such an idea has not entered Into the Japa nese mind and such a policy lias not seen even the symptoms of formation. For tho maintenance of tho integrity and Independence of China, Japan Joined hands with Great Britain. For securing equal opportunities in China, Japan lent her eager efforts to the United States to make the open door policy effectively operative. Competition with America. "It Is absurd," continued Mr. Illokl, "to say that in the course of n few years American goods will be crowded out of the Chinese market by Japa nese competition. The main ground upon which rests this apprehension is that Japan lias cheap labor at com nand. Hut labor In Japan does not remain cheap. The effect of the Chi na-Japan war was to double the price of labor, nnd the war with Hus sia must raise it much higher. In spite of these disadvantages Japan must develop her commerce und indus try, and she will have to coiiijs'te wltli nil the world, friend or foe. Her commercial war will bo fought Just as fairly nnd squarely us the real war She asks no favor from China that Is not granted to the entire world. She stands for the open door and. In the words of your greut Presldeut, a square deal." American Capital Welcomed. "Japan welcomes capital nnd mater ial from iiuy country. The Vulted States Is supplying materials for Im portant Japanese industries; why can not she supply the capital? Why can there not bo a commercial alliance be tween Japan und the United States?

All the higher Appluchians should be reserved, either by the states or by the nation.

Would Prevent Floods ard Create Water Power. "Such reserves would be a paying investment, not only in protection to many interests, but in dollars and cents to the government. The im portance to the soutuern people of protecting the southern mountain for ests is obvious. These forests are the best defense against the floods which, in the recent past, have, during a single twelfth-month, destroyed projierty officially valued at nearly twice what it would cost to buy the Soirt Item Appalachian reserve. "The maintenance of your southern water powers is not less important than the prevention of floods, because if they are injured your manufactur ing iuierests witl suffer with them. 'li:e lieriH'tiBition of your forests, which have done so much for the South, should be one of the first ob jects of your public men. The two senators from North Carolina have taken an honorable part in this move ment. But I do not think that the Iieople of North Carolina, or of any other southern state, have quite grasp ed the importance of this movement to the commercial development aud prosperity of the south." The President's Message to Congress. The special message sent to Con press by the President on the South ern Appalachian Heserve reads like a story. It touches upon the interest in tlie subject of the scientists and the lumberman, of the geologist and the farmer, the meteorologist and the fruit grower, the business man and the engineer, and the steamship pilot and tlie honieseeker. The President transmits with his message a report of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre pared In collaboration with the De partment of the Interior, upon tho forests, rivers and mountains of the Southern Appalachian region, and up on its agricultural situation as affect ed by them, and says In part: . The report of the Secretary pro scuts the tlnal results of an investiga tion authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judgment of the Secretary and in my owu, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain purts of the Southern States. The facts set forth un economic need of prime imiiortance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that of the nation as a whole, and. A.- BULLDOG SUSPENDERS M miiU ivu)whn.
