Henry Clews, the widely-known Wall street banker, writes thus intelligently and soberly: ‘rConsiderube uneasiness was shown at times over the Japanese situation. This is absurd. Japan does not want war with the United States. Such a contingency is unquestionably farthest from the minda of those who control the destinies of this new power in the Pacific. Even were Japan disposed to cross swords with the United States, her rulers are too keen to risk certain defeat. Japan cannot afford to go to war with a country of such vast resources as the United States. Her own finances have been sorely strained by the war with Russia, and many years will be necessary for the recovery from that strain. Further, there is no country in Europe where Japan could raise the funds necessary to prosecute war with the United States. All thoughts of trouble, therefore, with Japan may as well be set aside for good. Such agitation as we have had has been merely the reflection of our own bad treatment of the Japanese on the Pacific coast.” During these vacation days the parents of the state are not likely to forget that the school book trust is not resting from its labors. On the contrary, it is preparing to bob up serenely in the fall with a choice col-

lection of new books and countless odds and ends sufficient to take a large part of the spare cash of the 1 heads of families. Some of the Indianapolis meat dealers are quoted by the News, of that city, as saying that the “best cuts” of beef have not been advanced in price. So, then, it is the man of small means and large family who is the ■ special victim of the beef trust. And we do not see how- this helps the trust. A great chance for destruction has ! arisen for Ship Subsidy Watson and ' all the other ship subsidy congressmen. James J. Hill, who has managed to accumulate a measley little fortune of $100,000,000 or so in the railroad business, declares that the government will soon have to come to the financial assistance of the railroads. If this is a chance for voting more subsidies, what is it? The ship subsidyites can also become railroad subsidyities. Taxes can be made still higher and the next congress instead of spending a paltry billion of dollars, a year, can spend two billions a year. Hill says the railroads need just an extra billion a year for five years to put them in proper shape. If the subsidyites have the courage of their votes they will get busy. CHEAP EXCURSIONS.

DELIGHTFUL EVENT (Continued from page 1.) > had the largest collection during the time. Instead of the young men taking the pleasure they decided that the infant class and Mrs. Fristoe's ment instead of them, so this morning the infant class deserved the compliclass left on the nine o’clock car for the grove near the St. John’s church, andw ill return on the six o’clock car. The infant class members seem rather young to appreciate the boys’ kindness, yet in the future they will often look back in the 18th of June with the greatest pleasure, and they will never forget the boys who with their own willingness gave up their day for some one else’s pleasure. The boys believe the old saying, “Do unto others you would them to do unto you.” The young girls who have formed a Sunday school club and adopted the name of “Gleaners" will give an entertainment at the Presbyterian church on next Monday night. They have been earnest workers for the past few weeks in preparing for this occasion. Their club name was taken from the book of Ruth, and several numbers of the program will be tableaux representing the different scenes ,of Ruth’s life, where Ruth parts with Naomi; Ruth asleep in the field, and the "Gleaners," etc. Also there has been special music, consisting of chorus. solos, duets, prepared. True Fristoe has charge of the chorus and Mrs. Lutz has charge of the remaining program. The admission will be fifteen cents and all children under eight the girls will charge five cents. The program will appear later, and it will worth your money to hear the chorus and other selections. Remember the day Monday evening, June 24. 1907.

DOPE FOR THE FANS. “Dutch ” Linrebeck is in old time form. He was doing some business of the bases yesterday. —Ft. Wayne News. The Shamrocks got their licking Sunday. Decatur trimmed them 5 to 3.

BUREAU OF LABOR Has a Big Contrrct on Its Hands ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IN CANADA Goes in Effect on July Ist, Same Time as in this Country—Other Washington News. Washington, June 17.—Commissioner Neill, of the bureau of labor, has completed arrangements for the general investigation of the condition of women and children in the industries. A small army of investigators will enter the field July 1. The last congress appropriated $500,000 to meet the expenses of the Inquiry. No attempt will be made to make a complete census of the women and children employed in the industries, but the conditions under which such persons are employed will be thoroughly investigated in every state. The Interstate Commerce Commission received word today from J. L. Payne, controller of statistics of the Canadian government Railroad Commission, that the Canadian government will, on July 1, put into effect the railroad accounting system which the United States railroads will be required to adopt on that day. The same mail brought information from both Great Britain and France that those two countries will probably adopt the same system. It develops that, acting on the suggestion of the president the United States commission is moving to obtain, if possible, a universal system, of railroad accounting. A good many protests against the introduction of the new system on the first of next month have reached the commission since the announcement on Saturday that the system must go into effect at that time. Many of the executive heads of the roads want the introduction of the system postponed for a year, but the commission announces that there will be no postponement. Telegrams received today from several railroad presidents said that if they had known that the commission had intended to introduce the new system on July 1 they would have
