Japan’s Monroe Doctrine.
The encroachment of Russia on Japan
has been driven back at great cost on
land, but now takes the form of a
hostile armada of over forty vessels,
which has traversed half the world to
threaten Japan within a short distance
of its coasts. The spectacle shows how
necessary it is to
make provision
against aggressive powers that, though
thousands of miles away, use their
strength to seize fresh territory for
purposes of aggrandizement.
An en­
emy of great resources has been at
the doors of Japan for years, and there
is no way to draw the line against it
except by force of arms. Probably Ja­
pan saw the trouble ahead when it
fought China and captured Port Ar
thur years ago. it was deprived of its
victory by a coalition of European na
tions, chief among which was Russia,
which then proceeded to appropriate
Port Arthur for itself.
It is far better to assert a Monroe
doctrine before the enemy is at vour
gates and its big fleet within striking
distance of your coast.
Japan's per
formance in driving back the threat
has been little short of wonderful, but
the menace returns again and again
Precisely such things would happen in
the Western hemisphere if the United
Stales had not taken a firm attitude.
There is no telling what future com­
bination may be made against this
country, with no more reason than
that behind the policy of Russia, and
its silent partner or partners, in the
East. I he lesson is one for the United
States to gravely consider in connec­
tion with maintaining its navy in a
state of constant defensive efficiency.

An Inevitable Failure.
I
The situation in Chicago is less tur­
bulent, and the country would be glad
to hear of a restoration of public order
mid the complete supremacy of the
law.
Day after day, for weeks, the
dispatches from tint*. city have been oc­
cupied with the long story of deeds of
violence and defiance of the laws framed
to be observed by all for the protection
of nil. What was originally called t
strike became a continued scene of
riotous conduct
Comparatively few
persons know all the points connected
with the strike, or have been able to
form a complete opinion of its merits.
They have been reading about assaults
and destruction of property, and look
ing over casualty lists.
Wonder has
been excited by the slowness of the
Chicago municipal authorities tn act.
Claiming to have the situation in hand,
they vet insufficiently tried
to con
trol it.
Certain failure was ahead for the
strike because it became mixed up with
ruffianism and other crimes,
Perhaps
relatively few of the strikers took part
in the disorder, or favored its continu­
ance, but the rowdyism occupied the
front of the stage, and put the other
features of the matter in the
back­
ground. Even when the authorities of
a city fall short in their duty, playing
a demagogic part, the sober common
sense of the |ieople asserts itself.
Busi­
ness must go on, tor it is the life blood
of a community.
The law-abiding
must repress lawbreaking, or chaos is
at the door
Chicago's long outbreak,
in its results, teaches a lesson that is
not new by any means. Strikes with
violence are the way to lose. Evil-dis­
posed ¡tersons not concerned seize them
iin an
opportunity
tor lawlessness.
They are a foolish error that retards
the tight settlement of labor questions.
No country in recent years has sin pas­
sed Germany in business advancement.
Its stcadlast policy of a protective
tarift is one reason for its rapid growth
in commerce and manufactures, but
there arc other underlying causes at
work that may well arrest the attention
of other countries that hope to cut a
large figure in foreign trade. Germany
has built up an unequal system of edu
eating voting men to push the sale of
German goods in distant lands. This
training is conducted with great thor­
oughness. Boards of trade in Germany
take an active .interest in commercial
schools ami 145 of the boards encourage
the work by offering prizes and assisting
in other practical measures. The young
men who take the course exjiect it to
|ead to a lite occupation, with opportun­
ities eventually to become partners in
the houses they serve. ;Lcctures are
provided for ambitious minor employes

The Beef trust investigation is still in

The movement, for pure food is un­
doubtedly making progress. The most
recent evidence of this is furnished by the
action of the packers of canned goods,
whose national association at its late
meeting took a decided stand in favor
of omitting the use of any article as a
preservative that has been passed unfa-
vorable by the government. All the
compounds which enter the preservation
of canned goods are not harmful; but
some of them unquestionably are. The
association of packers has for its object
prevention of the use of preservatives in
anv form, considering this possible, and
it especially deprecates the use of chemi,
cals. One of the most important of our 1
industries is the packing of articles of J
