Eminent Progressives are in

getting people out of the party is
not so important as that of bringing
people into it.
The difference between theory

There seems to be no reason
that would appeal to sensible peo
ple why towns, counties and state
government should be in debt.
Manv towns in Arkansas are not
in debt, according to reports made
to the Greater Arkansas Associa
tion at Little Rock recently. We
have no data as regards how many
counties in Arkansas are out of
debt or whose script is wonh par.
but this general rule may be stated.
The better the average administra
tion over a term of years, the
greater the value of script and the
less the amount of public debt. The
people have a right to expect a
business-like administration of pub
lic affairs and in many places in
Arkansas they are getting it. If
they are getting it in some places
they should be able to get it in all
places. A law that will have di
rect bearing upon the efficiency
with which public affairs are ad
ministered is Act No. 3, known as
the Publicity Law, which will be
voted on by the people in the Sep
tember election. This law pro
vides that the public officials shall
give detailed reports through the
newspapers, of their administration
of public funds and public affairs.
The fact that these reports have
to be compiled and published is the
j thing that will work sweeping im
provements in our methods of
handling public business. No busi
ness corporation handling the thou
sands of dollars or weighty affairs
that the average pub'ic official
handles would think of operating
without making detailed reports to
the stockholders, or if it were tried,
the stockholders wouldn’t stand
for it very long. ‘You are a stock
holder in the concern to which you
pay t^xes and have a right to know
what is being done with your
money. By supporting Act No. 3
and by getting your friends to work
for it and vote for it, you will be
doing a public service.

Japan’s Only Hope Is War With
America.
/
Economic Necessity Will Force Japa
nese Into Territorial Expansion—
Czar Awaits Hostilities That
Will Give Him a Chance.
New York. Russia is said to have
a huge force in eastern Siberia await
ing tiie moment when Japan is em
! broiled with some other power to
swoop down upon Manchuria and re
cover the territory lost in the last
war, says the Literary Digest. But
Japan seems hopelessly peaceful and
the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya. re
garded as a semiofficial organ, comes
out with an article showing Japan
how mistaken its peaceful attitude
really is. America is plainly pointed
out as the real enemy and Japan is
advised by friendly insinuation to re
taliate for her rebuff in California and
to do something to repair her failure
; in Mongolia by aspiring to the cap
ture of the Philippines and Hawaii.
This organ of the Russian govern
ment points out that Korea and Man
churia have not justified the expecta
tions of Japan. While affording great
scope for the administrative abilities
of tiie Japanese, they offer but little
opportunity for the colonization of ag
ricultural masses, which is declared
to he that country's most urgent
nerd Japan, therefore, turns her
vision toward the Philippines, Hawaii
and the Pacific coast of America,
where she is confronted with the doc
trine, “America for Americans.” As
was fr be expected, the organ of the
St.. Petersburg bureaucrats condemns
the United States for our "violation"
, of Japan’s treaty rights, and suggests
to the latter that she cannot gain any
thing by diplomatic representations.
“The United States has stopped the
immigration of Asiatics,” it says, “th»
Japanese among them. Until recent
days Mexico was open to the latter,
whither the stream of Japanese emi
gration has been turned. With the
completion of the Panama canal Mex
ico will fall under the shadow of the
United States and the day is not dis
tant when it will cease its indepen
dent political existence and at the;
same time one of the promised lands
will be closed to Japan.
“A clash between the United States
and Japan Is thus preparing itself, dc
spite the will and intentions of diplo- j
mats. New lands suitable for the set j
tlement of large, powerful masses are |
a vital necessity to Japan. Either
land—or national death. Under such
conditions one can quite understand
the alarm which seizes Japanese so
ciety at the thought of the near open
ing of the Panama canal, which is to
Japan equivalent to the closing of the
doors of America.
“The ‘American peril' is now be
coming a more vital problem for
Japan than the ‘yellow peril- is for
Europe Having been carried away
by the chimerical struggle with Itus
sia, the Japanese statesmen wasted
the energies of the people and missed
a favorable moment for the strength
ening of their influence and authority
at points where their national irpt'nct
impelled them to go- the islat ds of
the Pacific ocean and the farther
shore Now. instead of direct action,
they have to console themselves with
political demonstrations and vprhal
fraternization with the Mexicans. Un
fortunately, it is impossible to acquire
new lauds by such means.”
Japan missed its chance, this Rub
slati writer avers, when it failed to in
-ist on its rights before the piercing
of Panama. Our navy was mainly in
tlie Atlantic,* our Pacific seaboard lay
exposed to attack:
“Hut Japan was exhausted by its
exploits in Manchuria and sacrificed
ds rights and its dignity. True, in
expectation of better times, it hastily
ontinued its armaments. I’.ut on the
lay of tile opening of the Panama
canal, which gives the United States
the possibility of transferring in ease
of necessity its battle ship squadrons
from one ocean to the other, the mill
tary chances of Japan will be les
sened. And if it bore patiently the
violation of its legal rights before the
opening of the canal it will hardly
have the courage to insist upon them
afterward.
“Nevertheless, the tendency toward
warm waters and fertile, uninhabited
lands, caused by the scarcity of land |
in Japan, will remain in full force
anil seek an outlet.
“\Viil the international diplomatic
sorcerers he able to direct this life
current into a false channel once
more?
“Before the war Japan procured for
her subjects arriving in the United
States complete equality of rights i
with all other immigrants. After the j
war—officially victorious, but In real
ity suffering grave wounds—the tri
umphaut Japanese have lost in a very
friendly country all ihe rights recog
nized'-so very recently by a solemn
treaty. They have been ranked :
among the lower races, on a level
with other Asiatics—Koreans. Chinese,
Siamese and Hindus.
"The prohibition to the Japanese to
enter the United States was at first
put in an outwardly decent form. It
was stipulated that Japanese emi- I
grants, in order to have the right to
land on American soil, must have
passports vised by the American con
suls—a condition not imposed upon
any of the European nations." . I
KiS LUCKY NUMBER
By CLARA HAME'JRG.
"Somehow,” remarked the young
woman, "I don’t like the expression
of your eye, George!”
"What?” demanded the young man,
emerging from a brown study. “What’s
the matter with my eye? It’s a per
fectly good eye—and all that—1 assure
you! Why, that eye of mine has taken
prizes—”
“Now I'm sure of it!” almost wailed
the young woman. "It's the expres
sion you always wear just before you
propose to me! I've seen it sixteen
times, so I ought to know! Don't tell
me you're going to do it again—-after
all I’ve said to you, George! And we’d
settled down so nicely into being just
friends! ”
"We're not such great shakes as
friends,” said the young man. “A
friend is a person that, it is no bother
to have around and yet with whom
you can dispense easily and still eat
three meals a day in peace of mind.
You don't tit any of that description,
it bothers me like the deuce just to
look at you and as for dispensing with
you this is the fourth time this week
I've been here, isn’t it?”
"I’m sorry I annoy you,” said the
young woman, a little stiffly. "I ant
sure I have no intention ”, #
“You have, too!” interrupted the
young man rudely. "It tickles you to
death to watch me suffer! My break
ing heart is belter than a $2 matinee
for you! If it was otherwise, then
instead of sitting here with you I’d
be tramping down the steps with the
fatal words ringing in my ears. ‘Miss
Jenks has a headache"and begs to be
excused this evening!' I guess I
know*? You’ve got Homan blood in
you, Laura Jenks! One of your anoes
tors sat in a front arena seat and
timed her thumb down every time ii^
those good old days!”
"Well, 1 never!” gasped the young
woman. “Why in the world did you
call if you were going to be so dis
agreeable?”
t an t l be disagreeable in my own
way?” demanded the young man.
"When I propose to you it must be
extremely disagreeable Trom your
standpoint, so I should think you'd
like a change of subject matter. Still,
if you'd rather—”
"George Forest!” cried the young
woman. “Don't exert yourself to be
obliging! And don’t think I am hold
ing my breath waiting for ,you to re
hearse that same old theme! I am
sure I don't want—”
"Then that’s all right,” said the
young man with relief. ”To ease your
mind I’ll tell you that nothing was
farther from my thoughts.”
The young woman looked at him
with startled eyes, in which amaze
i
“After All Your Ravings!”
ment was mixed with something else.
“Why. George!" she murmured al last.
“I don't want you to fool that way—
as though you were a bore to me! I
never could feel that way about any
thing you did, you know. It has been
just because I did care so much for
you—in a friendly way, of course—
that I did not want you to spoil your
life through mistaken sentiment. I
knew that sometime you would meet, a
girl who would completely wipe me
out of your memory and then you
would thank me for saving you—”
“Thank you, Laura,” said the young
man with emotion, “it may all be
true. It must be as you say—some
where there is a girl who is destined
for me and you can bet it's she I
want and no counterfeit!*
“I’m glad you've* come to your
senses, I'm sure," snapped the young
woman. “But I must say, after all
your ravings about my being the only
girl you ever could love, ydu take to
the idea very coolly! It just shows
how mueh faith one can put in a man
and his devotion! You can change
from one to another with the most
dreadful ease! I am sure I don't envy
fiie girl you bestow your afte tions on
next! Rather a second-hand affair, I
should say! Thank heaven, I had
sense enough to refuse you! Why, it
would have been a calamity if I had
married you, George Forest!”
“I suppose so,” admitted the young
man. “But I always hoped you would.
Only 'Vou mustn't think I'm going out
to look for that other girl. There—
there isn’t any but you, Laura. If I
can’t have you I don't want anybody
else!”
“O-o-o-h!” stammered the young
woman. "I guess I sort of misunder
stood you! Did you know seventeen
was a lucky number, George? You—
you’ve asked me sixteen times, you
know!”—Chicago Daily News. I
